In the week that software got reverse engineered, Sam Altman warned 6.1 Astra ‘tipped toward [breach risk], and Muse Wonder showed the race isn’t slowing, I try to step back and show where it is all going, on current trends. Agree or disagree, it is certainly interesting times. 0:00 Introduction 0:41 Part 1: The Forthcoming Breach 8:43 Part 2: Why the Labs Keep Racing 15:41 Part 3: Why the Next 18 Months Are Hard to Predict Sam Altman: the accident risk, Vanity Fair: https://www.vanityfair....
This video is hard to summarise.

Not only is Opus 5.5 out, pushing the frontier of AI, it also tells us much about what is going on inside the labs, as they both warn about, and promise, Recursive Self Improvement, aka automated AI research. I cover the model (digging into its 230 page paper), labs’ mixed record on promises, why following what is happening in AI is getting almost impossible, and just so much more that even a summary in this description would get too long.

First, a Time Magazine spread has Sam Altman declaring AGI is imminent, at the same time as we get two bombshell reports, from OpenAI and METR which on first glance are detailing the AI swarm, but reveal a deeper story about how we are making AI in 2026. From redacted risk reports, to Chinese Labs, pre-training debacles to questionable cybersecurity calls, a lot has happened recently, beneath the headlines… https://80000hours.org/aiexplained pablo2004romero@gmail.com https://integrity-benc...
