Yes, this is both very disturbing and obviously true as @willdepue says this transition will take anywhere between 5 and 50 years But I personally find consolation in the fact that: 1. That transition time will be the most exciting time anyone has ever lived through, probably ever; 2. On the other side there will be very nice things like extreme abundance and unprecedented human freedom. What a time to be alive!
i don't think nearly anyone, myself included, has truly internalized there'll soon be a machine better than us in every single intellectual & physical capacity deep down we all share a feeling that our 'entrepreneurship' or 'taste' or... is special & safe. it isn't. it's over

Today Nvidia and Apple are each worth $5T French 10yr yield is 5% Imagine telling this to someone in 2022
À tous ceux qui disent « oui c’est un scandale, les agences sont complices, blah blah blah», la réalité c’est que ça fait des années qu’on sait que les agences n’ont rien dans le slip et qu’elles ne sont aucunement fiables. Le marché est le seul juge de paix et il a déjà pricé (et continue de repricer) le risque sur la France. Le spread OAT Bund ainsi que le taux 10 ans français est bien plus révélateur que n’importe quelle note d’agence. Il n’y aura pas besoin d’une dégradation de la note pour que la France fasse faillite

If France gets itself in a sovereign debt crisis it will likely be the end of the eurozone
"I just don't see Germany saying, 'OK, we're going to help France keep having deficits and retiring at 62"

Surely this must be a typo
Meta Platforms $META said it has agreed to spend ~$825 Billion in the future on leases and contracts, many of them related to computing power and AI infrastructure - Bloomberg

yes paris is the black dot there that means "more than 2 persons income"
🏠 Percentage of monthly income needed to rent 100 m² across Europe.

This would be extremely cool No idea if it’s actually doable

Maybe it is?
This is absolutely wild when you think about it. AI data center in the center of downtown Chicago.

Crazy how otherwise smart people will scoff at prediction markets and call them fake without ever feeling the need to actually look at the data
Actually, events priced at 20% on Polymarket tend to happen around 20% of the time

this is what they took from us
On ne détruira pas la tour Montparnasse donc, tant qu'à y être, autant construire un ensemble de belles tours autour. De grandes tours résidentielles qualitatives à la londonienne pour garder les familles dans Paris. Et une tour de 400m, sorte de Tour Eiffel du XXIe siècle

Glaringly obvious fact now has a near visualization
A new piece in the Financial Times created a great visualization of the results from this study. TL;DR: Rent control helps people whose rents get limited, but it hurts everyone else. It pushes up rents, pushes down new building, and makes cities worse. It is horrible policy.

I truly don’t understand how this can work when a single agentic Astra prompt empties the Plus 5h limit before completing This is probably gonna be unusable unless they 10x the limits
Introducing dots, powered by GPT-6 Astra. Remarkably capable, always-on agents built to handle everything.

we moved from "ai will never be able to do biology research" to "ohh sure it's a discovery but a mere grad student could do the same in just a few years!" in the matter of a day congrats Anthropic i guess!
I work in CRISPR discovery research. This is one of the most exaggerated nothing-burgers ever and would be laughed out of the room if a human scientist attempted to publish something like this. (cont.)

it's quite remarkable how accurate the AI2027 has been so far it definitely sounded crazy and implausible at the time to a lot of people including me i remember listening to the @dwarkesh_sp episode where he interviewed the authors (@slatestarcodex and @DKokotajlo) and that completely changed my view to it being a realistic forecast
For late 2026, AI 2027 predicted the top AI lab to have a $2T valuation and $38B/yr revenue. Anthropic's IPO is said to be $2T and Anthropic's annualized revenue topped $65B by late July 2026 ($40B for OpenAI). AI 2027 also predicted that AI would be at the level of human Pro at hacking, forecasting (for the first time AI beat all Humans on Metaculus cup), coding, and bioweapons.

People are finding out there’s a reason why AIs sound the way they do. It’s because they were trained to mimic the “best” writing out there in the training data. So essentially they sound like NYT journalists or award winning novel writers. how surprising is it now that these style detectors classify actual human novel writers as being AI
J'ai voulu vérifier la fiabilité de cet outil sur un texte que j'avais écrit il y a quelques années lorsque j'étais malade et que j'avais besoin de mettre des mots sur mes maux. C'était aux alentours de l'hiver 2020. Texte qui n'a jamais eu aucune vocation à être publié, je l'avais écrit pour moi et moi seul. Verdict : 100% AI. C'est dire la fiabilité que l'on peut accorder à ce "1 faux-positif sur 24400" Mais je suppose que je dois prendre cela comme un compliment ! J'ai fait de l'IA avant l'IA !
Readers added context they thought people might want to know

Ngl starting to feel intense fomo not having access to Muse in eu @giffmana can you help a brother out??
The action button integration is absolutely the fastest way to ask your @Muse to do stuff for you on iOS - including directly from the lock screen. It's sick!

this is so cool
We made an interactive explainer of the AI compute stack: from grid power and data centers to chips, racks, clusters, and workloads, plus the public companies at each layer. Explore the infrastructure behind what @JensenHuang calls the five layer cake: intelligence.mts.now/compute

how long until this fly brain thing gets us that 10,000x intelligence per watt boost holy grail
The fly controls an FPV drone in simulation, keeping it airborne at low altitude and actively dodging any obstacles it sees
