🔥 Superintelligence in sight
Let's push for responsible use
🐾 IN TODAY'S WILD
The concept of "superintelligence" is now in sight, with AI systems showing the ability to improve themselves, raising a critical question about what this immense power will be used for.
Simultaneously, AI is becoming a more integrated tool. ChatGPT’s new “study mode” offers step-by-step guidance, and Microsoft's Edge browser now has "Copilot Mode" for a more intelligent web Browse experience.
On the technical front, a new "universal" detector can accurately spot deepfake videos, and social scientists are using LLMs to simulate human subjects for research. Meanwhile, the AI ecosystem is booming, with Hugging Face now adding a new model every seven seconds, underscoring both innovation and the need to secure the AI supply chain.

Personal superintelligence "Over the last few months we have begun to see glimpses of our AI systems improving themselves. The improvement is slow for now, but undeniable. Developing superintelligence is now in sight. It seems clear that in the coming years, AI will improve all our existing systems and enable the creation and discovery of new things that aren't imaginable today. But it is an open question what we will direct superintelligence towards." [LINK]
