“It may sound overly simplistic, but making predictions by extrapolating straight lines on graphs is likely to give you a better model of the future than most ’experts’ - even better than most actual domain experts!”
Failing to Understand the Exponential, Again by Julian Schrittwieser

"They see two consecutive model releases and don’t notice much difference in their conversations, and they conclude that AI is plateauing and scaling is over."

Really proud and excited to release work on empirically measuring AI values “in the wild” — understanding, analyzing and taxonomizing what values guide model outputs in real interactions with real users.

"Claude 3.7, do the AGI unicorn thing in the PDF but make it like 10x more impressive to really show those sparks, don't limit yourself to TikZ or even images"

(I pasted in the Sparks of AGI paper). Here is what it did

Been using Claude 3.7 for a couple days and it is very, very good.

Its "vibe coding" from language is impressive. I wrote a whole Substack post about the model (& Grok 3).

The research shows more users collaborating with AI than automating tasks.

There is a lot of important stuff in this new paper by Anthropic that shows how people are actually using Claude.
1) The tasks that people are asking AI to do are some of the highest-value (& often intellectually challenging)
2) Adoption is uneven, but many highly compensated fields already are high
