Not an AI researcher, but does feel like that the current RL training paradigm inherently implies a lot of wasted compute. Also, why the pay packages for top researchers are so high as they can save millions (maybe billions) of compute with more intelligent design & workflows as

There are many thinkers whose writing has inspired me over the years. They fall into three clusters: - Essays that sharpen our intuition around exponential trends, - Essays that help us think in systems, - Essays that train us to recognize patterns across history.

How can GPT-5 can be the most capable AI model yet still feel “modest”? Over the past week, I've been tracking the tensions in how people are reacting. They crystallise into five paradoxes: 1️⃣ The moving-goalposts paradox: As AI clears old benchmarks (like the Turing test), we

Well said @azeem "Some of GPT‑5’s biggest gains are invisible. When it anticipates needs and makes decisions for you, you do not feel the friction it removes; you just experience the smoother path. But that invisibility makes it risky: the more the model guides you, the more

"Instead of competing for human clicks, third-party services in the Agent Attention economy will vie for activation by autonomous agents. Success will depend on how often agents choose a service, how relevant its capabilities are to the task and how well it delivers"
