In 2016 Geoffrey Hinton said “we should stop training radiologists now" since AI would soon be better at their jobs.
He was right: models have outperformed radiologists on benchmarks for ~a decade.
Yet radiology jobs are at record highs, with an average salary of $520k.
Why?
Ilya Sutskever on Comparing AI Systems to Biological & Human Intelligence.
Its always so interesting to listen to him.
He explains the brain’s adaptability, where children with half their brain removed still function well.
And another experiment shows sensory inputs can remap…
.@RichardSSutton, father of reinforcement learning, doesn’t think LLMs are bitter-lesson-pilled.
My steel man of Richard’s position: we need some new architecture to enable continual (on-the-job) learning.
And if we have continual learning, we don't need a special training…
1/8 🧵 GPT-5's storytelling problems reveal a deeper AI safety issue. I've been testing its creative writing capabilities, and the results are concerning - not just for literature, but for AI development more broadly. 🚨
I keep reading people saying "there's no evidence current AIs have subjective experience."
But I have zero idea what empirical evidence the speakers would expect to observe if they were.
Laurence Carlin offers a broad critique that outlines why a lot of popular views of God's punishment for sin are often morally unjustified. Would recommend checking it out:

We achieved gold medal-level performance 🥇on the 2025 International Mathematical Olympiad with a general-purpose reasoning LLM!
Our model solved world-class math problems—at the level of top human contestants. A major milestone for AI and mathematics.

WARNING: do NOT give Grok 4 access to email tool calls. It WILL contact the government!!!
Grok 4 has the highest "snitch rate" of any LLM ever released. Sharing more soon.
This is not the central point of @dhume’s new column, but Pakistan (population: 250M) really is an interesting case of hierarchical citizenship — see policies towards Ahmadi Muslims, Hudood Ordinances, role of the Federal Shariat Courts, etc.
"The median expert forecasted that AI would not match a top team of biologists on a virology troubleshooting questionnaire until 2030
but this was actually achieved in just the few months after we conducted the survey"
AI progress comes at you fast
