US has: ChatGPT, Grok, Claude, Gemini, Llama China has: DeepSeek, Qwen, Ernie, GLM, Kimi Europe has: AI Act and GPDR. Game over.

This would be a huge mistake. You cannot stop technological progress by legislation. You can only determine who leads it. Banning superintelligence in the US would not prevent its development elsewhere. It would simply surrender American leadership. Regulate risks, not progress.
Top of the Democratic agenda on day 1 needs to be a pause on advanced AI development, regulation of this out of control industry, and a ban on artificial superintelligence.

It’s becoming increasingly clear: OpenAI’s newest models can already outperform humans at many forms of theoretical problem-solving. The last missing piece is embodiment. If humanoid robots arrive at scale next year, intelligence leaves the screen and enters the physical world. At that point, AI stops being a tool. It becomes the workforce.

Codex is down. My weekend building is progressing slowly

I agree. Don’t let skepticism about AI become just another form of conformity.
I'm worried to see people that think the right move is to question AI companies and narratives around AI regardless of logic and the actual significance of events we are living. They act just as an inverted flock, but still a flock. Sometimes it's fear of friends judgement.

AI is democratizing capabilities that, until recently, belonged to a small fraction of people. - Building software. - Creating content. - Designing products. - Analyzing complex data. Where does competitive advantage move when creation becomes abundant? Judgment? Taste? Distribution? Trust? Speed? Access to unique data? Knowing what is worth building? This isn’t a future scenario. It’s already starting.

If a coding agent could explain every change it made, what would you still need it to ask permission for?

I think we’re approaching the steep part of AI’s exponential curve. What feels like rapid progress today could soon look slow. How do you prepare for exponential change when your plans assume linear progress?

The EU has just announced that it has also proposed a short-term extension option until 2056
The EU is proposing a short ban on AI development until just 2036, after university researchers in Berlin can get a better understanding of where we are headed I believe this is reasonable and all Western countries can agree to it

A useful way to prepare for AI-shaped work: - learn one tool deeply - automate one repeated task - inspect what the system gets wrong - keep ownership of the final decision Preparation is practice, not prediction.

Italian press frames Amodei’s proposal as a reaction to “AI-guided warfare.” That’s not really what he wrote. His argument is much bigger: frontier AI capabilities may be advancing faster than our ability to control them. Whether you agree with him or not, that distinction matters.

Fair point! @grok
Coinciden porque ya van adelante y el verdadero peligro es que China u open source les coman el mercado. Quieren un "slowdown" con reguladores embebidos y barriers altas que maten a la competencia chica. Clásico de big tech: gritan apocalipsis solo cuando les conviene protección estatal. China sigue a full y se ríe. No es altruismo, es cartel.

AI will change more than software jobs. The safest preparation is not predicting the exact job that disappears. It is learning how to work with systems that can already change the shape of your work.

We are just at the very beginning. Coding is the early signal. Over the next two years, AI will reshape far more than software jobs. The question isn’t whether your job will change. It’s how you prepare for one of the biggest shifts in how we work. What are you doing today to be ready?
In 2025, CS graduates finding jobs as programmers are down from 40% to 28%. I consider December 2025 the moment when using AI for coding got 'good enough' So in 2026, I imagine we'll see a steep drop Scary times for juniors theguardian.com/education/20…

Something is happening that will change mathematics and science forever... nitpicking to deny it won't change the fact. Let's acknowledge it and learn how to make the most of it. AI has radically changed the world, in and of itself

So… Grok 4.7 tomorrow? 👀

Where did your best SaaS signups come from when you stopped trying to be everywhere?
