OpenAGI emerges from stealth with an AI agent that it claims crushes OpenAI and Anthropic
OpenAGI, a new AI startup, has launched Lux, an AI model that they claim outperforms top competitors like OpenAI and Anthropic in computer control. Lux achieves an 83.6 percent success rate on the Online-Mind2Web benchmark, significantly higher than its rivals. The model is trained using computer screenshots and action sequences, enabling it to produce actions for computer control. This announcement comes as major tech companies invest heavily in AI agents for various tasks. Independent research highlights that current AI agents may not be as capable as initially believed, with the Online-Mind2Web benchmark designed to expose performance gaps. OpenAGI's "Agentic Active Pre-training" allows the model to actively explore and learn from the computer environment, continuously improving its performance. Lux can control applications across the entire desktop operating system, unlike browser-only competitors. The model also incorporates safety mechanisms to prevent potentially harmful actions, like copying sensitive information. OpenAGI is partnering with Intel to optimize Lux for edge devices, addressing enterprise security concerns. The company's success could prove that innovation can surpass massive resources in the AI industry.

Everyone's panicking, saying we need more grid capacity to accommodate data centers, but ... current grid utilization is under 50%! Isn't the obvious first step to more efficiently use the grid we've already built?
This & much more covered in my latest solo pod:

Human language favors familiar, structured patterns over compressed digital codes, reducing cognitive effort and aiding comprehension by aligning with real-world experience and expectations. doi.org/hbc7hn
Natural language found more complex than it strictly needs to be—and for good reason
Human languages are complex phenomena. Around 7,000 languages are spoken worldwide, some with only a handful of remaining speakers, while others, such as Chinese, English, Spanish and Hindi, are spoken by billions.

Can AI make us more creative? Study reveals surprising benefits of human-AI collaboration
Artificial intelligence (AI) is often seen as a tool to automate tasks and replace humans, but new research from Swansea University challenges this view, showing that AI can also act as a creative, engaging and inspiring partner.

Where is the meme of "data centers pollute a lot" coming from? Just xAI's Memphis facility or something else?
Everyone is getting upset about the data centers. They pollute a lot and use a lot of energy and will eventually be very ugly/huge vacant buildings. And I understand being mad about that. Until you consider the state of the lazer tag industry at this moment, and how much help that sector needs.

I really like this sentence Claude’s “Soul Document.” I think there’s a tendency in some circles to over-apply human concepts to AIs, partially as an overcorrection to the (also misguided) denial of any humanlike traits. The correct approach at this point in time is agnosticism.

I came across this promo I made for my shop in 2023 incorporating then-new niche “AI video,” reveling in its comically offputting garbage outputs while it was already being hyped as “tHe fUtUrE oF hOlLyWoOd,” but actually this was the aesthetic peak of the tech, it should have stopped right here.

It has been three years since ChatGPT launched.
GenAI is the fastest adoption of an economically consequential technology in human history. And the speed & breadth of that adoption (as well as its continued exponential improvement) is why we have no handle on what it all means.
