    Ai Read_011 - The AGI Manhattan Project

    "Do we need an AGI Manhattan Project? Slowly at first, then all at once, it will become clear: this is happening, things are going to get wild, this is the most important challenge for the national security of the United States since the invention of the atomic bomb. In one form or another, the national security state will get very heavily involved. The Project will be the necessary, indeed the only plausible, response." ~ Leopold
    Will the race for AGI lead to a Manhattan Project-like initiative, and how might this reshape the global order? Today we diver into the final read of "Situational Awareness: The Decade Ahead" on the inevitability of the race to AGI and superintelligence and what it will mean for the free world, the economy, and the future of humanity. Don't miss this epic conclusion.

    "Reliably controlling AI systems much smarter than we are is an unsolved technical problem. And while it is a solvable problem, things could very easily go off the rails during a rapid intelligence explosion. Managing this will be extremely tense; failure could easily be catastrophic."~ Leopold Aschenbrenner
    As we approach a potential intelligence explosion and the birth of superintelligence, how can we ensure AI remains beneficial and aligned with the goals of furthering humanity, while navigating the complex geopolitical landscape? And what role will the United States play in shaping the future of AI governance and global security?

    Ai_029 - New Tools and Major Moves in AI

    Open AI signals that they are the surveillance leviathon we suspected they always were. Anthropic's Claude 3.5 may be even better than ChatGPT. I explore and detail out some new tools and build new tiny apps to recreate some of the incredible features of the Apple AI announcements, but in a local, open source way. A cybersecurity disaster in Microsoft's announcement of their new OS "feature" Recall and why it may be the worst thing for security and privacy in a very long time. And much more in today's episode, on New Tools and Major Moves in AI.

    "Our economic systems were not built for a world driven by technology where prices keep falling. They were built for a pre-technology era when labour and capital were inextricably linked, an era that counted on growth and inflation, an era where we made money from scarcity and inefficiency. That era is over." ~ Jeff Booth, The Price of Tomorrow
