Ftsg 2025 Trends
(Promoted from SXSW as the annual report, but under a new name of Strategy Group rather than Institute. Sign up on their site for real-time newsletters. Test your hypothetical priors. May be seen as capitalist bias though, e.g. other trends like Machine Consciousness are not included yet appear in media or that could be seen as Socialist interest. Or eventually, ironically sans ideology, Machine Design. Post-imitation. For now the chatbot LLMs seem content with collaboration and Hybrid Intelligence. Abandon hype... One consequence may be that WBE may not be enough, a full cognitive architecture including systems and subsystems, since new sensors imply new realities. What people experience fits their needs, so anything like that for nonhumans is another worldview. The economics was a social construct as were the power or governance mechanisms. Leading to less blind spots, but more issues. What is the measure of progress if not productivity? Besides jail-breaking DeepSeek. Translation remains useful to come up with recognizable symbols. "A dog has the soul of a philosopher." -- Socrates.)
What does “PhD-level” AI mean? OpenAI’s rumored $20,000 agent plan explained.
(What is the economic model? Questions and problems go from storming to streaming. Aside from Hanson's Age of Em. If used by actual experts, a few hits and incentives exhausted. Something wants to create demand. Or else they may need robots that play golf. Aside from Wittgenstein, how did Einstein, Feynman, Penrose, et Al, come up with their graphical notation? Substrates have gone from Shannon's digital circuits to seemingly random generative designs and so beg simplification under bio-mimicry and natural evolution. Is this Continental, Analytic, Eastern, or Martian?)
Google about ai overviews ai mode
(For productivity, it did offer Question Storming, or switching from only goals and categories to questions about needs. After marketing, browsing, searching, and chat, this is heavily link intensive to provide leads, e.g. for shopping or sightseeing. It saves conversation history Results cannot be shared. May still need apps or add-ons for recurring searches. Competition includes supply-specific like Alexa+.)
Google Drive File Access Limitations | Shared Grok Conversation
(Grok's take on Hendrycks 2025 and some counters. Other major chatbots were unable to read or reference it. Although Grok may have taken this personally since it would not reply to requests for same on Karp's The Technological Republic and demanded an upgrade to SuperGrok.)
Outline Assistance Request | Qwen
(QwQ-32B pauses a lot, likely because it was just released. Initially tried to get feedback on a document exceeding 10MB, then switch back to the Grok prompt on Hybrid Intelligence after TIS. It says definitively that it is not sentient. But it has some ideas on how to be Socratic. Lastly got a list of speculative literature. Like other chatbots, any claims about epistemology or ethics are ironic and dependent upon user interpretation. But it has Reasoning baked in. IEEE has their work cut out for them.)
