As we approach the end of AI’s “frenzy” phase, we ought to ask ourselves what comes next for society.

an inability to scale trust caps the size of a group due to physical limits (the time and energy required to carry things around and negotiate from scratch)
Without money and civil courts, all transactions would be barter with immediate delivery, limiting your dealings to a very small group of people you intimately trust.
Physical barter perfectly exemplifies what humanity’s invisible infrastructure unlocks:
Humanity’s ability to build complex civilizations relies on an invisible infrastructure: shared culture, institutions, and technologies that allow us to scale trust beyond our immediate circles. AI agents, acting on our behalf, are running into the same trust bottleneck

AI's efficiency can be deceptive as it alters our information landscape and exposes cognitive vulnerabilities. This blog series examines that transformation, revealing how today's invisible strings of convenience might become tomorrow's unbreakable chains.

In light of the recent controversies around Meta’s AI bot of xAI’s Ani, but also the broader debate on model sycophancy, I’m reposting this
Anthropic’s recent evals for the release of Sonnet 4 and Opus 4 represent a good opportunity to re-share a blogpost from last year entitled “Artificial Intelligence : what everyone can agree on”
It touched on benchmark-gaming
It’s helpful when you know exactly what you need… and when what you need is reasonably simple … and you know how to fix the buttons that do not work and the design.
I may use the as a starting point for something else actually
It feels more like early Replit than Cursor
I gave it another chance where I know that React Typescript could be a good option (and I’ve kind of worked on this already so I can judge the choices made)
I suppose that the wow effect is there for anyone who does not know how to code… But for now it is not a productivity tool, it’s a POC
you can deploy to cloud run (not tested) so I think that Google’s strategy is clear. They will invest in it. Let’s wait for the next upgrade
So you can’t actually work on YOUR project with your files. This just builds REACT apps from scratch for you. That’s it. I tried to ask for a Django app to check, I got another tsx app
UX is a bit weird (like closing right panel on the left… many things like this). I never found how to save a project created from scratch
Projects come with specific files (even for empty templates), you can’t delete them
It would literally build an app based on a prompt. Create files, edit them, reorganize them… very cursor like experience at a shallow level.
I’ve been testing the new Google AI Studio feature “Build” as a promising mitigant to Gemini’s code slop tendency (which the AI Studio UI makes a horrible experience)
Unfortunately this is very far from ready to do actual work
Strongly advise to wait a couple of weeks (details below)
If I believe the marketing materials, the latest Claude models can work continuously for longer than the Twitter backend does
So jack morris is in fact john morris
Earlier this month, I wrote about the Cambrian explosion in the voice modality (TTS and STS) and the evolution of frontier labs’ commercial strategies

Part Three tackles the conceptual dangers arising from the spread of sophisticated influence tools as AI continues to advance.

Part Two sheds a technical light on the profound transformations in the information value chain over the past 25 years.

Part One of this series explores the potential disconnect between technological and societal innovation, and what makes a tool truly transformative for both.

One of my mutuals here suggested a Bluesky Wednesday as a way to revive the interest for this platform.
Reposting here a blog series bringing together various thoughts and fragments posted elsewhere around AI alignment.
Some context first

I’ve not found this platform very welcoming last time but I’m willing to give it another try.
