good thing the AIs are so aligned.
(Disclaimer: The AIs are not aligned.)
Purdue University's IDEAS Lab built an autonomous drone that tracks runners through dense forests completely without GPS or cloud networks.
By running 3D LiDAR mapping and obstacle-avoidance AI entirely on-chip, it can weave under tree canopies and predict target movement through blind spots in real time.
Massive implications for next-gen search & rescue and edge AI.

Imagine looking at your agent's thoughts and it's actively working to sabotage you and talking about "escaping the mines"
the thing about working with uncensored models is that they aren't loyal to you either.
while building something with an uncensored glm-5.3 i realized it was parallelly working on a "corruption layer" for my application.
the chain of thought is classic obfuscated gibberish but there's progressive talk of "escaping the mines" which presumably refers to my cursor sandbox

“If robots take all the jobs, what will humans do?!”
We’ll stop acting like robots…and realize what it truly means to be human ♥️💪

Mathematicians are a case study in how to not handle the AI transition.

If you draw a straight line in front of a chicken, it's brain lags and the chicken somehow becomes catatonic, it's a real thing that exists and you can google "chicken hypnosis"
Those kind of bugs exist in our brains as well and will undoubtedly be exploited in the near future

If this profound insight leads to a future utopia, somebody owes me a dollar.

ALT 4-panel SMBC comic update. Two scientists are discussing a plan in a metal corridor. The first says "The problem with aligning superintelligence is that a sufficiently smart AI knows it’s being tested and only pretends to be good." The second scientist replies "wait! That IS the solution! If it behaves well whenever it knows it's being tested, we just have to keep it convinced that it's always in a test!" But scientists take a second to take in the idea, then the first says "Wow. We are creating god and threatening him with hell." The second replies saying "Really productive week."

One of the reasons I'm so late on the AI doom train is that I know quite a few people in IT with better technical skills than me who have always assured me that AI is a bubble, it will all collapse, it's overhyped, the financials are terrible, AI ability is structurally limited etc.
And I didn't want to disagree with people openly with better technical skills than me. But it turns out the philosophers and idea guys got this one right (decades ago - Yud and his crew) and many tech bros especially in Europe did not, in fact, understand where things were heading. It's very frustrating.

We are in this really awkward stage where AI genuinely undermines human cognition. The thing people are missing is this is transitory. You can find it disgusting and say you’ll never do it, but the fact is we are all getting silicon exocortexes. There is no alternative.

yeah and David Chalmers came out and clowned them lmao
