Toen Don’t look up uitkwam bedacht ik hoe de metafoor tot vervelens toe misbruikt zou worden in opiniestukken. Ik keek neer op mijn toekomstige zelf.

Is er nog íémand bekommerd om de gevaren van AI?

Op de AI-veiligheidconferentie was niemand bezig met de gevaren van AI. Alles was pr en machtsstrijd. Het doet Vincent Ginis denken aan de film Don’t look up.

If humanity goes down, let it at least be with poetry—not with 'OpenAI o5 (high),' but with a name the people chose. Something dignified. Something noble.

Extraordinary. We are stardust.

The asteroid Bennu contain all 5 of the nucleobases that form DNA and RNA on Earth and 14 of the 20 amino acids found in living organisms (though Bennu contains equal amounts of these structures and their right-handed counterparts). www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Rocks and dust from the asteroid Bennu contain some of the molecular building blocks of life on Earth, such as amino acids and nucleobases. They also carry ammonia that formed billions of years ago in...

Academics worldwide worked to create questions no state-of-the-art AI could answer in Humanity's Last Exam.

Hoe gaan we om met technologie die ons intellectueel voorbijstreeft?

Onderzoekers probeerden vragen te bedenken die AI niet kan beantwoorden. Viel dat even tegen. AI houdt ons een spiegel voor.

It is 2025, and I vaguely remember the time when it was still possible to come up with questions that could baffle state-of-the-art LLMs.

Of course, I’m joking. I don’t really remember.

When A.I. Passes This Test, Look Out

The creators of a new test called “Humanity’s Last Exam” argue we may soon lose the ability to create tests hard enough for A.I. models.
