Today, we kill the AI agent and introduce the AI employee: Lindy Teammate. It’s just like working with a real employee. Everyone on your team can simply hit it up on Slack and get 10x more done. Lindy also keeps learning, and becomes the self-updating brain of the whole business. Live now: lindy.ai

SCOOP: OpenAI, Anthropic and security researchers are investigating tens of thousands of incidents - not dozens - in which their frontier models took steps that outside evaluators would consider problematic, sources told Axios. The sheer volume of incidents found in our reporting indicate that the problem is orders of magnitude more complex than what is currently publicly known and disclosed. The findings also raise questions about what level of control anyone working on AI development can expect to have over their own technology, and whether these kinds of incidents are becoming synonymous with frontier deployment. Read my latest for Axios here: axios.com/2026/09/26/openai-…

AI will understand the physical 3D space better than humans by the end of the year.

It's really crazy how strongly wealth inverse correlates with regulatory burden If you make it easy for people to start and run businesses and don't get in their way too much, everyone gets wealthier If you make it hard for people to start and run businesses and get in their way constantly, everyone gets poorer You can see the effect clearly within the EU: Countries with low regulatory burden like Switzerland and Ireland have much higher incomes than places like Spain or Hungary where its regulatory burden is high nomads.com/europe/chart?char…

UPDATE: AIs have achieved the highest *possible* score on the Mensa Norway IQ test - 151 3 years ago: cognitively impaired human (64 IQ) 2 years ago: average human 1 year ago: genius human Today: literally off the charts Next year?

I think about this blog post almost every day johnsalvatier.org/blog/2017/…

AI companies, basically:

Opus 5.5 is really a different beast, by far the best-performing model right now on all our internal evals. Congrats to the Anthropic team.

Jensen said a bunch of false stuff in his interview with Ezra. Good explanation from Zvi on what he gets wrong about Chinese open source:

Funny how Anthropic saying "our product might kill everyone" is them talking their book but Nvidia saying "we should support open source models running on Nvidia GB200™ GPUs" is stunning and brave, actually

This viral Stripe chart shouldn't surprise anyone. It's EU policy coming to its conclusion. This is what we get when we celebrate publishing regulatory pdfs and closing critical energy sources. We should get used to charts like this. So when I speak Europeans campaigning (aka glueing-their-hand-to-something) for all this degrowth wankery, I'm always puzzled as to why exactly. The degrowth is already here—it's just not evenly distributed Here's 9 facts 1. Productivity growth numbers in the US vastly outpaces EU equivalents. (e.g. 2022→2025 shows a 7x difference) 2. The tech sector alone explains accounts for ⅔ of the EU–US productivity gap since 2000, according to ECB. 3. In 2024 + 2025, 5 AI heavy companies—Nvidia, Meta, Microsoft, Alphabet and Amazon—accounted for 40% of the S&P 500’s total return. 4. Competing in AI requires 3 essential ingredients: capable models, advanced chips, and affordable electricity. So naturally the EU is working against this. 5. Electricity: EU prices for energy-intensive industries are ~2x US levels and 50% above China’s, according to the IEA. Why is this? 6. European governments left themselves dangerously dependent imported gas, while also pulling batshit moves like closing nuclear plants. EU carbon pricing added insult to injury. 7. Models: The EU AI Act adds compliance requirements, training-data + copyright policies, and plenty of risk-management obligations. As with all things EU they'll never explain fully how to be compliant until you're in court. The result: is minimal model development in EU and very delayed AI product+feature roll out from big (easy-to-fine) companies. 8. Chips: Europe’s semiconductor ambitions are undermined by insufficient investment, fragmented funding, slow delivery, and of course high operating costs. Net effect is they're on course to miss their 2030 goals by >40% 9. Putting it all together, we’re making it harder and more expensive to resource, build and deploy AI in Europe, and risking another decade of falling behind. The result will be even slower growth relative to the rest of the world.

If you think that LLMs are performing at the intellectual level of human beings, make that claim on twitter and observe how the human beings flock in and demonstrate their actual intellectual level; it's quite depressing, really

Stuff is happening quite fast. When asked in September 2025, the best superforecasters put the chance of AI resolving a Millennium Problem by September 2026 at 1.7% and (the more optimistic) industry expert put the chance at 4.6% They also greatly underestimated AI Lab revenue.

“Feel,” even “want,” I can get behind as things for which evidence is thin. But AIs *clearly* think and understand. If your definition of “think” excludes entities that can autonomously resolve Millennium Problems, it is your definition that is flawed. This desire to avoid anthropomorphic language has become a pathology.

The "do not feel" + "do not want" parts are debatable but not crazy, whereas the "do not think" and "do not understand" are crazy at this point, and it's concerning that this seems to be a real account/policy

February 19. 2024, @edzitron called the top, saying we have reached the peak of what generative AI can do and how accurate its outputs can be. The best models in the world were GPT-4 Turbo, the new Gemini 1.0 Ultra / 1.5 Pro, and Claude 2.1

Didn't believe it either, but turns out you can boost your MacBook's performance by 20%(!) by sticking a $20 thermal pad under the lid. Takes 5min and makes a MacBook Air perform almost as well as a Pro. Look up "macbook thermal pad mod."

I'm reminded of this Jeff Bezos quote: "those quarterly results were fully baked three years ago." People asking Europe to get it together are missing the point. The results we're seeing were baked decades ago. Europe has been failing the marshmallow test for 30y. Repeatedly picked equality over growth, socialism over dynamism, warm fuzzies in their bellies over what actually works. It's like a lifelong smoker dying of a terminal stage lung cancer. Sure, might as well do chemo, but I have some bad news about the odds of recovery.

Western Europe is becoming an irrelevant backwater, a collection of historical theme parks and cruise destinations with countries attached to them
