The Cognitive Revolution
AI:AM: What If It Works Too Well? Colluding Agents, $200M Safety Orgs, Virtual Cells Saturate at 2%
“The challenge of this argument that it's just like this, just a, uh, uh, uh size of dataset thing, is that currently even the state-of-the-art virtual cell models that exist saturate at a very, very small uh fraction of the input data that is fed to them.”

Report this moment“Prakash also made the case for specialists. A model like AlphaFold does its one job better than any generalist. He expects that to hold. And the version of superintelligence people fear is a single model that does every job better than the specialists and depends on no one. My...”

Machine Learning Street Talk
When AI Research Starts Moving Faster Than Human Research - Zhengyao Jiang
“It managed to discover a better auto-research bonus. Then we keep tuning in the last 2 years.”
ConceptResearch
Report this moment“improving the efficiency of self-referential research is definitely already on the roadmap.”
ConceptResearch
Report this moment“There's an interesting thing we observe on self-evolved uh auto-research harness. We see the code it generated.”

The Cognitive Revolution
Zero to One in AI Safety: Halcyon's Mike McCormick on Launching 30 New Orgs & the Founder Bottleneck
“The other thing that is borderline haunting to me, I just did an episode not too long with Bronson Shane from Apollo, and reading through some of these chain-of-thought sequences, when the models are referring to memories that they have developed from their training, that also...”

Latent Space
Runway’s WorldPrompt and the Engineering of Real-Time Worlds
“Oddly enough, I think early image-video models weren't good at being human-realistic, right? You see a lot of the high-res 4K professional photography, but not just everyday life, like normal picture, right? Everything looks like it's professionally generated, like professiona...”

I learned pics to pics, like this was intro to ML, the TensorFlow, like Jupyter, Google Colab notebooks were like this, and then you have a sudden step function change with diffusion and whatnot. Any other ones since that, like there were clear ...”

AI For Humans
Opus 5.5 is our favorite AI model (so far).
“I am shocked today by what we are seeing. And what's funny to me is these are not state-of-the-art models. We are not getting— I should say, we have got 2 brand new models this week. We got Opus 5.5. We got GPT-6 Sol and 6 Luna. We are going to get into what those mean. But th...”
