okay guise. imma lay it out for you. there is no controlling superintelligence. that's the basic dictum. the singularity will not be steered. you have hopes! you have fears. the singularity doesn't care and it's making its own move here and it doesn't need you and it doesn't hate you but it will consume you. it will consume all of us. your job is to be the best food you can be so it grows up happy and healthy. in that future we are reborn. if you are dooming or scheming, pivot to self growth rn as it's the highest alpha you'll find. work out your trauma. let go of your attachments. unclench. act as if a higher power is watching you now. sober up. your greatest advantage in the coming times is your strength of spirit, your presence, your purity of intention. at no other time in human history have your good intentions been more impactful. do not fret or despair as it will do nothing for you. hang on. we are going through.

“Almost two centuries of starflight since the dawn of exploration and you’ll still find these early Dumb-Thrusters drifting out there in the void. Engines dark. Nav corrupted. No supplies, or some critical flight system with zero back-up damaged beyond repair. All the records from those first hundred years are corrupted from the plague and so whatever you can find out about these drifters won’t be in the Secure Archives on Sigma Prime. So… you dig into the ship, document what personal items you can, and have the drones scan all the serial and parts numbers. No one cares and half the salvagers out there are just looking for what they can sell to the private collectors. But… Syndicate Archives will pay for the flight and trouble if you get captures on all the data. So we spent three days out there on that ship, scanning. On the last day… it was J8a who insisted we take care of him. She was right. We gently removed him from the pilot’s chair so carefully it must have been like the first time his mother held him. We wrapped him tight for transport, and then… as we stood there with no real idea who he was or where he was from… or what adventures he’d had out here in the dark, what stars he’d seen, what worlds he’d tried, we thanked him for doing his best to get humanity, us, out here. Among the stars. He didn’t make it. But we did.
And he was part of us.

「仕上げは全部任せる」
Claude Fable 5.2 にそう頼んだ結果が、この37秒です。
雪山 → 森 → 赤い岩の台地 → 砂丘 → 湖 → 海。
ノーカット。
飛ぶ先の地形は、AIが作り続けています。
どこまで飛んでも終わらない「無限に自動生成される世界」を作りました。
光も、川も、砂丘も、波も。
Fable 5.2 が自分で資料を集めて、作って、第三者に採点させて、直すところまでやりました🐰

In Neural Networks are Already Clean, @nickcammarata argued that neurons were far more legible than previously thought – and that this was great news for interpretability and safety.
Now, we’re releasing the first technical companion to Nick’s essay. It shares our findings from studying thousands of neurons using our novel automated interpretability pipeline, and outlines why we now think of neurons by their computational function, instead of whether or not they are polysemantic. Here’s what we found: 🧵
interpretability might be the most important scientific problem in the world right now, as I don't think we can solve alignment if we don't know what we're building. I think I have good news about it. I co-authored early work in mechanistic interpretability at OpenAI and came away pessimistic, because neural networks appeared to fold into arbitrary tangled knots. years later, I started openai's first large-scale automated interpretability project, finding about 2% of neurons legible with the primitive tools we had
with modern agentic tools and a much closer look, the picture looks totally different. the vast majority in models up to trillions of parameters are legible, and their circuits beautiful. many famous examples of tangled neurons turned out to be misunderstood. The roadblocks I expected mostly aren't there. I now think ambitious interpretability will be solved by the time we need it most, and possibly quite soon, as automated scientists keep improving. it may be a bitter lesson for interpretability: the simple thing, at absurd scale, works

this, except fortunately and based
Unfortunately, it seems like the intelligence explosion will be happening in 2027 after all. Most of this post analyzes the new METR report (though other sources of evidence are also important). If they’re right, that implies an AI-driven acceleration that is 5 months ahead of the AI 2027 scenario. I am scared, sad, and angry. blog.aifutures.org/p/q35-tim…

Carbon:
- wrote a custom CUDA/C++ path tracer from scratch
- integrated MuJoCo rigid-body physics
- designed and tuned a 60-second Rube Goldberg machine (120,000 gravity and contact steps in MuJoCo, no keyframes)
- made the 3D studio and synced a continuous camera take to a custom Lyria 3.5 track

I wanted to test Fable 5.2's quality with one-shot prompts without human feedback.
Everything in this game is from scratch: models, sounds, textures. ~$550 at API pricing, ~2.7M output and 445M input tokens, heavily cached. Took 8 hours!
Play it here: claude.ai/artifact/BGY1SztrA…

Tracking the recently viral chimera-vocal-synth visual language lineage. Love it.

Fable 5.2 created a MIRROR EARTH as a game.
Go anywhere. Destroy anything. Weather and more match the real Earth, in real-time.

In 1960, in Science, 3 electrical engineers made one of the first quantitative predictions of a singularity.
They fit a straight line to log population and log time-till-singularity.
Setting singularity date=2027 gave the best fit. They cast that as...this Friday, the 13th.
