"Anthropic's lying/hyping" is the lazy cope explanation which doesn't require grappling with the gravity of our current situation

Random industrial machines are often more beautiful than 99% of contemporary museum art

Rope making is one of the oldest manufacturing processes in the world - dating back to 17,000BC when people weaved vines by hand.
The patent for automating was issued in the 1800s and the process named after maypole dancers.
This is what one looks like today.
It looks complex but it follows simple rules - bobbins alternate directions, creating a weave automatically just from the track geometry.
ā¢The faster it pulls through, the stronger along the length
ā¢The slower it pulls through, the stronger against crush
This is because the braid angle changes - shallow for axial load, steep for hoop load.
Same machine, same material, completely different structural properties.
Today itās used for aerospace components, hydraulic hose, and braiding robotic hands.

Anthropic, OpenAI and Demis are all in favour of preparing a coordinate pause of frontier AI development.
Skate to where the puck will be people, not where it is now. This is a fast puck.

The tools to make the sculpture I designed real:

My most ambitious vibe coded project:
Six years ago I was trying to build giant versions of my sculpture made of thousands of microscopic etchings.
3x the diameter meant 9x the etchings so the software would always fall over and die.
Enter Claude...

I finally have the design. Now I'm working with a metal fabricator to build the underlying structure.
Manufacturing is hard, so anything can still go wrong, but I can't get over how Claude fixed the problem I'd been stuck on for years in just a couple minutes. AGI is here.

Recursive self-improvement going from being a ridicule-worthy fringe sci-fi concept to a completely normalized part of the discourse which is āobviously the planā is one of the more dramatic Overton window shifts Iāve experienced
Thereās something disorienting about it, like if the sky suddenly turned red, and everyone acted like it had been that way all along

this is what I worry about: we could be one algorithmic discovery away from uncontrollable super intelligence
I think youāre wrong and thereās 1,000x efficiency gains leftover in deep learning research that could lead to much smarter faster more agentic models given the same inputs

Anthropic is calling for top AI labs to weigh slowing the pace of development, suggesting that AI systems are advancing so rapidly that they may soon be able to improve themselves without human intervention in ways that could pose societal risks. on.wsj.com/4ulkmFh
