New piece! 👽 Diffused AGI "advocate agents" could allow us to solve intractable social and political coordination problems. This same technology offers a foundation for better governance, allowing us to rebuild decaying institutions from the ground up. Link below!

Thrilled to see our CaMeL, with @edoardo_debe, featured in the @stateofaireport by @nathanbenaich! While powerful, CaMeL is challenging to implement in practice. That's why we're excited to announce a new scheme from @aisequrity that provides strongest security guarantees that

High capital costs (e.g., in filmmaking) push products towards popular culture to recoup investments, while low capital costs (e.g., in painting) allow for more avant-garde and niche pursuits. If AI massively decreases production costs and other barriers to entry, I would expect

"We discovered causal neural features that drive risk-taking and safety-oriented behaviors, proving these patterns are not merely task-specific artifacts but fundamental decision-making mechanisms, and demonstrated concrete intervention methods through activation patching."

I largely agree with the points about technological determinism raised in this piece, but I disagree with the conclusion. Yes, the tech tree is largely discovered, not forged. And simultaneous and independent discovery are solid evidence for this on long time horizons. But this

I can personally vouch for a dozen of these - from the genius silverware storage, to the perfect leggings with 70+ reviews, to the hands-down best pillows on earth.

Economics is very funny because you can believe that 1.) AIs will be able to replicate human capability in any given dimension 2.) This is not particularly important in economic respects.

NEW Bank of England: value of AI tech companies “appear stretched” with a rising risk of a “sharp correction” saying that on some profit measures it was “comparable to the peak of the dotcom bubble”.

The aim for nuance enjoyers should be to produce views that account for the nuances while still ultimately weighing different considerations and coming up with an optimal position. Sometimes you have to bite the bullet. The trap is to have a blurry mush of all opinions and a

Your intuitions about automation should be robust and consistent enough to apply to self-driving cars (replacing drivers), ATMs (replacing bank tellers), and Microsoft Excel (replacing ledger clerks). I don't think 'slowing down' any of these would have been a positive step for

THIS JUST IN: Our Season 2 schedule has officially dropped!

some interesting outputs this morning

Brilliant by @danwilliamsphil exposing two fallacies: a semi-magical view of the power of "algorithms" and a dogmatic belief that reduced elite influence ("democratisation") will necessarily have positive effects. I highly recommend his Substack.

i'm concerned the regulatory superpower agenda will simply be too effective: consumers become too trusting of tech, markets explode with activity, the world rushes to copy the EU model, all risks are mitigated so quickly bureaucrats get bored etc. we must do something about this

Second column from CEPA - making the argument that the idea that Europe should be the world's regulator actually is not that old, and does not have to survive forever.

“Worthy successor” proponents are thinking in Far Mode, which clouds their judgment. Someone needs to write an evocative film or book that knocks them out of it and makes them imagine what it will actually be like to have one’s family replaced with something more “worthy”.

a ridiculous amount of bad tech policy gets crafted bc lawmakers want to Just Do Something and Be Ahead of the Curve On Tech. it’s ok to watch and wait! many problems work themselves out, or become irrelevant in a year. time can clarify the issues & the remedies.

✨😨 Bernie Sanders' misguided AI jobs panic Senate Dems warn artificial intelligence could erase 100 million jobs. But its ChatGPT-based analysis confuses automation with annihilation. Their plan to tax AI is what would be really harmful https://t.co/H9NQWt19qI

Our new Gemini 2.5 Computer Use model can navigate browsers just like you do. 🌐 It builds on Gemini’s visual understanding and reasoning capabilities to power agents that can click, scroll and type for you online - setting a new standard on multiple benchmarks, with faster

Congratulations to Michel Devoret, Google Quantum AI’s Chief Scientist of Quantum Hardware, who was awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics today. Google now has five Nobel laureates among our ranks, including three prizes in the past two years.

Of course the other 'side' - ossified, blobby, degrowth obsessed stagnstors who would crystallize time forever - is just as depressing, and a bigger issue globally. But that's for another tweet.
