Concise Argument for ASI Risk
I listened to the debate between Stephen Wolfram and Eliezer Yudkowsky on Machine Learning Street Talk (MLST). I found the discussion frustrating, since it felt like they were trying to have two very different conversations: Wolfram questioning basic principles and … Continue reading
What is an AI Agent?
The importance of AI agents continues to grow, which makes it mildly concerning that there is no agreed-upon definition of “AI Agent.” Some people use it to refer to any LLM activation (where “multi-agent” might then just mean chaining multiple … Continue reading
How Smart will ASI be?
The development of AI is pushing towards AGI. To many, once you have AGI, you quickly and inevitably achieve ASI (superintelligence), since AGI can do AI research and thus AI iteratively self-improves (at an exponential rate). Others sometimes doubt that … Continue reading

Towards a Science Exocortex
What is the future of AI in science? I propose that the community should work together to build an exocortex—an expansion to a researcher’s cognition and volition made possible by AI agents operating on their behalf. The rise of large … Continue reading

Situational Awareness
Leopold Aschenbrenner (previously at OpenAI) offers some unique perspectives on the future of AI. His paper “situational awareness” paints a picture of an inevitable AI-Manhatten project. If you want to look into his arguments, here are some different formats: It’s … Continue reading
