Anthropic's CEO, who has consistently predicted transformative AI will arrive before 2030, recently published a nearly 20,000-word essay outlining his vision of where AI is heading. The video gives you the highlights. The essay argues that scaling and recursion will advance AI from coding automation to full engineering automation, while warning of economic displacement within 1-2 years and China's trajectory toward AI-enabled totalitarianism. Additionally, Dario Amodei predicts that AI models will increasingly be understood as collections of distinct personas rather than monolithic systems.80,000 Hours: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B54EQiuO1UUCheck out my fast-growing (!) app, free to use, and code INSIDER15 for Pro: https://lmcouncil.aiAI Insiders ($9!): https://www.patreon.com/AIExplainedChapters:00:00 - Introduction01:10 - Scaling to software engineers06:11 - Permanent Underclass10:18 - Totalitarian Nightmares16:38 - Collection of PersonasEssay: https://www.darioamodei.com/essay/the-adolescence-of-technologyPhysics Prediction: https://www.quantamagazine.org/is-particle-physics-dead-dying-or-just-hard-20260126/Axios: https://www.axios.com/2025/05/28/ai-jobs-white-collar-unemployment-anthropicWorld GDP: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.MKTP.KD.ZG?end=2024&start=1961&view=chartDemis Hassabis Counter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6fq4_uP7aMKarpathy 80%: https://x.com/karpathy/status/2015883857489522876Machines of Loving Grace: https://www.darioamodei.com/essay/machines-of-loving-graceAnthropic LessWrong: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/5aKRshJzhojqfbRyo/unless-its-governance-changes-anthropic-is-untrustworthy#1__In_private__Dario_frequently_said_he_won_t_push_the_frontier_of_AI_capabilities__later__Anthropic_pushed_the_frontierOriginal Constitution: https://www.anthropic.com/news/claudes-constitutionNew Constitution: https://www.anthropic.com/constitutionKimi K2.5: https://x.com/Kimi_Moonshot/status/2016024049869324599Societies of Thought, Google DeepMind Paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2601.10825https://lmcouncil.ai/benchmarkshttps://www.patreon.com/posts/our-new-age-of-133960279Non-hype Newsletter: https://signaltonoise.beehiiv.com/Podcast: https://aiexplainedopodcast.buzzsprout.com/

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, announced a set of new ‘protections’ and ‘privileges’ for ChatGPT users, requiring a significant amount of trust from users. From predicting your age based on your chat to calling law enforcement if you are at risk of harm, to allowing non-minors to flirt. But amidst all of these announcements, there are interview snippets you may have missed, as Altman dramatically revises his predictions of AI impact on jobs.

o3-mini is here, and yes, I’ve read the paper in full - 2 hours after release, and even the post-launch Reddit AMA. Some epic details like a FrontierMath score that made me double-take, a likely new Cursor favorite, bio risk expertise and a cost-comparison with Deepseek R1., But does it perform on basic reasoning - let’s find out. Plus, arguably the bigger story - the increasingly frenetic rhetoric coming out of the West - and Dario Amodei and Alexandr Wang (CEOs of Anthropic and Scale AI respectively) in particular. The last thing we need is an “AI War”.https://wandb.me/simple-bench(Colab): https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1AVijcPnEkl8Gy_754XbRdG5m7Q5-9slg?usp=sharingChapters: 00:00 - Introduction00:45 - o3 mini05:11 - First impressions vs Deepseek R107:21 - 10x Scale, o3-mini System Card, Amodei Essay, bitcoin wallets…12:40 - Simple Competition Finale13:03 - Clips and Final Thoughts on the “AI War”O3-mini: https://openai.com/index/openai-o3-mini/Paper: https://cdn.openai.com/o3-mini-system-card.pdfAmodei Essay: https://darioamodei.com/on-deepseek-and-export-controls?s=09FrontierMath wild stat:https://arxiv.org/pdf/2411.04872Sam Altman Channels Napoleon: https://x.com/sama/status/1883185690508488934Altman ‘pulls up releases’: https://x.com/sama/status/1884066337103962416“AI War” by Wang: https://scale.com/blog/win-the-ai-warAnthropic Original Views on Capabilities: https://www.anthropic.com/news/core-views-on-ai-safetyAI Insider Cost Comparison:https://x.com/arankomatsuzaki/status/1884676245922934788Deepseek R1 Paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2501.12948R1, o3-mini Price Comparison: https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/31/openai-launches-o3-mini-its-latest-reasoning-model/Semianalysis on $1,3M deepseek salaries, and them falling behind as ‘the time gap to match US capabilities increases’: https://semianalysis.com/2025/01/31/deepseek-debates/OpenAI Valuation: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-30/openai-in-talks-to-raise-funding-at-340-billion-value-wsj-says?srnd=phx-aiWang Clip: https://x.com/tsarnick/status/1867700453494206883Amodei Clip: https://x.com/ai_ctrl/status/1884951111771001188https://simple-bench.com/

When it rains, it pours. OpenAI Operator tested and reviewed, with full paper analysis. Perplexity Assistant is useful. Then Stargate, is it all smoke and mirrors? Strong rumours of an o3+ model from Anthropic. Then a full breakdown of Deepseek R1, and what it’s training method says about the state of AI. It’s not open source BTW.

OpenAI looks set to debut their Operator system, and some leaks are out. At the same time Deepseek R1 releases some numbers, and Sam Altman says he might have been wrong before, and now anticipates a 'fast take-off'.  Plus two papers to give you an idea of what a super-agent might be decent at doing, some more exclusive article analysis and much more.

Sam Altman unexpectedly brings his timelines to AGI forward, while OpenAI backtrack on superintelligence. None of these changes were heralded, but they are significant. Plus the new year brings new assessments of the true capability of models to automate 'large swathes of the economy'. I'll give my prediction on that front for 2025, announcement a new Simple Bench competition, and showcase Kling 1.6 vs Veo 2 vs Sora, and much more. wandb.me/simple-bench(Colab): https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1AVijcPnEkl8Gy_754XbRdG5m7Q5-9slg?usp=sharingTheAgentCompany Paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2412.14161v1Sam Altman Major Interview: https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2025-sam-altman-interview/?srnd=phx-aiOpenAI Agent Coming Jan 2025: https://www.theinformation.com/articles/why-openai-is-taking-so-long-to-launch-agents?rc=sy0ihqAltman Singularity: https://x.com/sama/status/1875603249472139576Altman Original Timeline: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dCPytNTnjk&t=621shttps://www.ft.com/content/34a7a082-e685-4e02-bca7-61ff89d99ed2OpenAI Original Emails: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/5jjk4CDnj9tA7ugxr/openai-email-archives-from-musk-v-altman-and-openai-blogDeepMind Sky News 2014 Article: https://news.sky.com/story/google-buys-uk-intelligence-firm-deepmind-10419783Altman Blog Reflections: https://blog.samaltman.com/reflectionsOpenAI Changes Who Gets AGI: https://openai.com/index/why-our-structure-must-evolve-to-advance-our-mission/?s=09OpenAI 5 Levels: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-07-11/openai-sets-levels-to-track-progress-toward-superintelligent-aiAltman 2015: https://blog.samaltman.com/machine-intelligence-part-1OpenAI React to Anthropic: https://www.theinformation.com/articles/how-anthropic-got-inside-openais-head?rc=sy0ihqMicrosoft $100B Definition: https://www.theinformation.com/articles/microsoft-and-openai-wrangle-over-terms-of-their-blockbuster-partnership?rc=sy0ihqEpoch Scramble for Task Benchmark: https://x.com/tamaybes/status/1876692639363612919GPQA Progress: https://epoch.ai/data/ai-benchmarking-dashboardTask Length Crucial for ARC-AGI: https://anokas.substack.com/p/llms-struggle-with-perception-not-reasoning-arcagiRL Environment Tweet: https://x.com/vedantmisra/status/1876327518157807990Jason Wei Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhpjpNXJDcoMiles Brunda

o3 isn’t one of the biggest developments in AI for 2+ years because it beats a particular benchmark. It is so because it demonstrates a reusable technique through which almost any benchmark could fall, and at short notice. I’ll cover all the highlights, benchmarks broken, and what comes next. Plus, the costs OpenAI didn’t want us to know, Genesis, ARC-AGI 2, Gemini-Thinking, and much more. FrontierMath: https://epoch.ai/frontiermathhttps://arxiv.org/pdf/2411.04872Chollet Statement:https://arcprize.org/blog/oai-o3-pub-breakthroughMLC Paper: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/new-training-method-helps-ai-generalize-like-people-do/?utm_campaign=socialflow&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=socialAlphaCode 2: https://storage.googleapis.com/deepmind-media/AlphaCode2/AlphaCode2_Tech_Report.pdfHuman Performance on ARC-AGI: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2409.01374v1Wei Tweet ‘3 months’:https://x.com/_jasonwei/status/1870184982007644614Deliberative Alignment Paper: https://openai.com/index/deliberative-alignment/Brown Safety Tweet: https://x.com/polynoamial/status/1870196476908834893Swe-Bench Verified: https://openai.com/index/introducing-swe-bench-verified/Amodei Prediction: https://x.com/OfirPress/status/1858567863788769518David Dohan: 16 hours https://x.com/dmdohan/status/1870171404093796638OpenAI Personal Writing: https://openai.com/index/learning-to-reason-with-llms/https://simple-bench.com/John Hallman Tweet: https://x.com/johnohallman/status/187023337568194572500:00 - Introduction01:19 - What is o3?03:18 - FrontierMath05:15 - o4, o506:03 - GPQA06:24 - Coding, Codeforces + SWE-verified, AlphaCode 208:13 - 1st Caveat09:03 - Compositionality?10:16 - SimpleBench?13:11 - ARC-AGI, Chollet

The ‘Gemini 2 Era’ begins … with screen-sharing? But really, it’s a great free tool, for curiosity satisfying rather than bleeding-edge intelligence. I give you the benchmarks, the highlights and of course, the latest from OpenAI Advanced Voice Mode with Vision. Plus Deep Research in Gemini Advanced, Simple Bench updates, Santa and what might be for some of you Google’s deflating admission. 00:00 - Introduction00:38 - Live Interaction 03:43 - Gemini 2.0 Flash Benchmarks 05:10 - Audio and Image Output06:38 - Project Mariner (+ WebVoyager Bench)08:49 - But Progress Slowing Down?10:43 - OpenAI Announcements + Gameshttps://aistudio.google.com/liveGemini 2.0 Flash Benchmarks: https://deepmind.google/technologies/gemini/Project mariner: https://deepmind.google/technologies/project-mariner/WebVoyager: https://x.com/laurentsifre/status/1858918588683296875/photo/1Gemini Game play: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKuGNHJBGscAdvanced Voice Mode OpenAI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIQDnWlwYyQhttps://simple-bench.com/Claude Computer Use: https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/computer-useOriol Vinyals Interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78mEYaztGaw&t=687s

After a 10 month wait, OpenAI have released Sora to paying users. With just a prompt it can generate videos of up to 20 seconds in lower resolutions, and 10 seconds at 1080p if you can fork out $200/month. I’ve tested it and read the system card. The user interface is quite beautiful, even if the videos themselves operate until entirely new rules of physics. But I can’t help wondering if OpenAI want up to focus on releases like this, rather than some quietly broken promises. 80,000 hours Website, Podcast + Channel: https://80000hours.org/https://open.spotify.com/show/2WzJwXWBDnn4iZ7odKwDib https://www.youtube.com/@eightythousandhours/videoshttps://openai.com/sora/Sora Countries: https://help.openai.com/en/articles/10250692-sora-supported-countriesSora Credits: https://help.openai.com/en/articles/10245774-sora-billing-credits-faqhttps://runwayml.com/ and https://pika.art/home DeepMind Veo: https://deepmind.google/technologies/veo/Sam Altman Ads as Last Resort: https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/openai-could-chase-intrusive-ads-as-last-resortBut OpenAI Considering Ads: https://www.inc.com/ben-sherry/is-openai-getting-into-the-advertising-business-the-company-is-sending-mixed-messages/91033533OpenAI Backtracks on Microsoft AGI Clause: https://www.ft.com/content/2c14b89c-f363-4c2a-9dfc-13023b6bce65As Microsoft Boast of Labor Savings: https://www.theinformation.com/articles/microsofts-new-sales-pitch-for-ai-spend-less-money-on-humans?rc=sy0ihqOpenAI Military Pivot: https://www.technologyreview.com/2024/12/04/1107897/openais-new-defense-contract-completes-its-military-pivot/Employees Have Doubts: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/12/06/openai-anduril-employee-military-ai/?nid=top_pb_signin&arcId=KZIV7PLRHBCVNPAIAAAVUNRHIM&account_location=ONSITE_HEADER_ARTICLE
