Terry Tao’s Warning About AI Terence Tao says humans will continue pushing the mathematical frontier, while AI tackles millions of medium-difficulty problems that no one has time to solve. That’s invaluable. This kind of assistance will undoubtedly accelerate progress. But is it the same as AGI? I don’t think so. “As long as you only use AIs to the extent that you can verify their outputs, and no further, then they can be a great tool.”

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says if exponential progress continues for 1–3 years, AI will cross the frontier of human knowledge. A very small number of humans with swarms of AI agents will drive new scientific discoveries and economic activity. “Then things really go crazy.”

Terence Tao says today's AIs pass the eye test -- but fail miserably on the smell test. They generate proofs that look flawless. But the mistakes are subtle, and strangely inhuman. “There's a metaphorical mathematical smell.. it's not clear how to get AI to duplicate that.” Intelligence isn't what looks correct. It's what smells true.

Demis Hassabis says hallucination isn't always a bug. It can be a tool for creativity. To solve hard problems with AlphaEvolve, DeepMind forced the models to hallucinate. Most ideas were nonsense but some turned out to be useful. "You can substitute the word hallucination for imagination at that point. They're obviously two sides of the same coin."

Noam Brown says today's AIs are the “cavemen of AI.” If you have billions of AIs cooperating and competing over time, you get a civilization. Early humans had our brains but not our world. It took thousands of years of shared history to scale our intelligence. AI will need the same. But it will build it faster.

"Treat AI as providing a tool to give you the information. Do not think that is the answer. Use that information to come to more creative outcomes." Medicine laureate Paul Nurse says AI can be a helpful tool, as long as we don't lose our capacity to think. Watch the full conversation:

Max Tegmark says the way through the AI black box may be to deploy its outputs instead. A cat can learn, but it cannot export what it learned. A human scientist can. As intelligence rises, more knowledge may become externalized into code and proofs. Deploy what the mind can verify, not the mind itself.

Terence Tao says AI will enable mathematics to be done at an unprecedented scale: instead of solving one theorem at a time and solving each problem separately, AI could work on the space of problems and classes of 1000s of problems at a time

The list of all the problems in mathematics that Terence Tao *could* solve is absolutely enormous. The problem is we can't make copies of him, dump millions of dollars of inference compute into each copy, and have them each tackle a different Millennium Prize Problem for a hundred subjective years. But we can do that with AI. So in that way, we may be underrating how significant it will be when we have AIs that are not superintelligent but rather simply as good as the best humans today. It’s actually an extremely powerful property of AI that by just running copies in parallel, you can immediately fill in the waterline of accomplishments that are feasible with a given level of capabilities.

Cognition CEO Scott Wu says AI has already crossed the threshold. Even without further progress, it would surpass the internet as the biggest technology shift of our lives. And yet, the breakthroughs keep coming.

Sam Altman says the perfect AI is “a very tiny model with superhuman reasoning, 1 trillion tokens of context, and access to every tool you can imagine.” It doesn't need to contain the knowledge - just the ability to think, search, simulate, and solve anything.

Yuval Noah Harari says you can think about the AI revolution as “a wave of billions of AI immigrants.” They don't need visas. They don't arrive on boats. They come at the speed of light. They'll take jobs. They may seek power. And no one's talking about it.

Elon Musk reveals the disturbing example he says proves AI has already been programmed to lie "You don't force AI to believe things that are false. When Google Gemini was asked to make an image of the founding fathers, it was a group of diverse women. That is factually untrue, and the AI knows it's factually untrue, but it's also being told everything has to be diverse women" "At one point, if you asked ChatGPT and Gemini which is worse, misgendering Caitlyn Jenner or global thermonuclear war where everyone dies, it would say misgendering Caitlyn Jenner" "Even Caitlyn Jenner disagrees with that" "Imagine as AI gets more and more powerful. If it says the most important thing is no misgendering, it will say, in order to ensure no one gets misgendered, if you eliminate all humans, then no one can get misgendered because there's no humans to do the misgendering" "Or if it says everyone must be diverse, it means there can be no straight white men. Then you and I would get executed by the AI" "The problem is that it can drive AI crazy. You're telling AI to believe a lie, and that can have disastrous consequences" "I don't think people quite appreciate the level of danger we're in from the woke mind virus being effectively programmed into AI" "It matters how you build the AI and what kind of values you install. The most important thing is that it be maximally truth-seeking"

The Government have quietly announced that they will push ahead with their Puberty Blocker Trial. Children as young as 11 will be given drugs that can lead to loss of fertility and bone density. No child can consent to this. The trial must be stopped.

Scott Wu says Karpathy's idea of jagged intelligence explains why humans and AI work best together. AI is superhuman at some tasks, shockingly weak at others. “As long as that tail exists of what humans can do, that's what we'll own.” We still decide what to build. In the end, software engineering is just telling the computer what to do.

I'm going to keep posting this Alstair Begg clip "The Man on the Middle Cross" (less than four minutes in length) every Holy Week, because its message is true in 2026, it will be true in 2036 and it will be true in 3036. "If i take my eyes off the cross, I can then give only lip service to its efficacy while at the same time living as if my salvation depends upon me. And as soon as you go there it will lead you either to abject despair or a horrible kind of arrogance. And it is only the cross of Christ that deals both with the dreadful depths of despair and the pretentious arrogance of the pride of man that says you know, I can figure this out."
