Despite a direction from me when Defence Secretary that the Skynet 6A , £2bn contract was too important to the UK space industry to offshore to Lockheed Martin it looks as if Wes is preparing to place the contract overseas. The damage it would do to Stevenage and the UK satellite industry would be irreversible and it was always assessed it could mean the end of the sector. Lockheed’s promises of factories in Newcastle were skin deep. The differences between types on offer were marginal. No.10 could, and should stop this. @AirbusDefence @wesstreeting @larisamlbrown @kevinbonavia @haynesdeborah
Pay attention to this and act NOW.
The NCSC is encouraging UK organisations to prepare for immediate updating of systems using PHP. Where immediate remediation is not feasible, organisations should consider taking the system offline until it can be fully mitigated.

We have come full circle from room-sized vacuum tubes to warehouse-sized AI clusters, proving that while human engineering can compress worlds onto a 2nm chip, brute-force scaling ultimately crashes into the hard limits of physics and energy.

The future of computing belongs once again to the philosophy of the elegant constraint; mirroring the biological efficiency of the human brain and the resourcefulness of architectures like ARM.

All models, no matter how smart, will eventually build systems that they can no longer understand or maintain, if you let them. Fable 5 finally outbuilt itself, and flailed on me for a week. Fable 5.1 looks like it will fix it. For now. But you have to keep an iron grip on system size, or it'll run away from you.
If autonomous AI development costs less than human engineering + review, and the expected cost of failures is lower than the savings, companies will take the risk.
AI doesn’t need to eliminate software risk. It just needs to make humans more expensive than owning it.

AGI will come when models are running continuously on a multichannel stream of input and output, and are learning. A potted model running in snapshots only gives a glimpse of what may be.

Wow quite the post. I need to digest whats there (although $89k token bills is scary!!!). Thanks @Steve_Yegge for sharing.

Enjoy. Or not. Some of you definitely won't. But I invite you to debate it. The world's changing very fast now.

Yes indeed. Vague is not a workable idea.
An initial startup idea can't usually be both grand and precise. In practice they're usually either grand and vague or precise and small. Precise and small is better. You know who your initial users are, and you expand outward. With grand and vague you can't even get started.

Agree UK is near hostile to tech, doesn't have good capital markets for it or ethos. No proper big software companies. Has been this way for a long time we sell off rather than invest. cityam.com/london-tech-week-…
