Shane Legg talks about the 1997 and later creation and popular definition of general intelligence. Shane Legg, co-founder and Chief AGI Scientist at Google DeepMind, defines levels of artificial general intelligence (AGI) as a spectrum rather than a single binary threshold. NOTE: He mentions a 1997 paper on nanotechnology security that defined AGI. I, Brian …
Is Elon Musk insane? Will a bet of over $200 billion go up in flames ? There are people who are saying that his plans will never work. Who is right ? Brian WangBrian Wang is a Futurist Thought Leader and a popular Science blogger with 1 million readers per month. His blog Nextbigfuture.com is …
There was a 110 year increase of 1000 times in world electricity from 1915 WW1 levels to today. The Industrial revolution increased the world economy by 100 times and increased electricity from nothing but after the first 25 years of establishing electricity increased it by 1000X. Only about 1% of global electricity is used for …
Tim Dettmers Argues AGI Will Not Happen Dettmers claims GPU performance-per-cost peaked around 2018. Post-2018 gains from one-off architectural tricks now exhausted and facing diminishing returns. Transformers are near physically optimal for local computation versus global attention. Scaling laws demand exponential resources for linear gains. Only 1–2 years of viable scaling left before costs outpace …
xAI Grok 4.20 created a 47% return in the Nasdaq and outperformed all others in the Alpha Arena competition. 32 instances of various LLMs (including multiple variants of the same model under different prompting strategies like “Situational Awareness,” “Monk Mode,” “Max Leverage,” and “New Baseline”) were each allocated $10,000 in real money to trade autonomously …
XAI just released Grok 4.1 Fast. It is fast model that is leading AI agent ranking. It has real-time X data, web browsing, and code tools. Elon Musk says Grok 4.20 should release by Xmas. It will upgrade top benchmarks where Grok 4.1 Fast scored perfectly in agentic tool use and beat rivals like GPT-5 …
Gemini 3 is here and it edges out XAI Grok 4.1 as the state of the art model topping the leaderboards. This is likely be the best for coding in Apps with tool use. The new agentic development platform, Google Antigravity will be a Cursor (AI coding) competitor. They used the guts of windsurf and …
Elon Musk updated that XAI Grok 5 has 6 trillion parameters and has more intelligence density per gigabyte. It will be released in Q1 2026. Grok 5 should have 1.4 to 1.6 times performance and 96-100% scores on a lot of phd areas. A 2-3X performance jump in AI was the GPT-3 to GPT-4 move. …
An AI expert from Anthropic predicts a mostly smooth transition for AI over the next 2-3 years where business adopts best practice AI that is unleashing 10X productivity. This will be great value creation that would payoff the trillions we are and will invest. Perfecting and scaling what AI is capable of now and what …
Super VC Marc Andreessen talks with Blake Masters and Amjad Masad, CEO and co-founder of Replit, a cloud-based coding platform. They talk about the transformative role of AI in democratizing programming, technical breakthroughs in agentic AI, historical parallels in computing evolution, debates on AGI timelines, economic implications, and Masad’s personal journey from Jordan to Silicon …
