My newsletter New World Same Humans goes to 28K inboxes each week 🚀 🔮 http://www.newworldsamehumans.com Co-founder of The Exponentialist
💥 Announcement alert! I've just launched a new premium research service with the brilliant @RaoulGMI For a while now we've been in the lab working on this and I'm super-proud to unveil The Exponentialist, a new research service for anyone who wants to understand, and profit…
I need to read the Apple 'LLMs can't reason' paper in more detail but for those who want to use it to spin a reductive 'AI is all hype' narrative, this is an interesting counterpoint: scientificamerican.com/article/inside…
That's a lot of tokens
You know what's cool... a quadrillion tokens. We processed almost 1,000,000,000,000,000 tokens last month, more than double the amount from May. 📈
Key takeaway from this excellent panel at the Christie’s Art + Tech event: liquidity is rising, the art market will follow courtesy of the always insightful @tadtweets
On my mind this morning is whether it was more improbable that I spoke on a panel yesterday hosted by the talented @robtfrank of @InsideWealth and @CNBC for the excellent @ChristiesInc Art Tech conference, or the fact that my panel was located on the stage of @RadioCity Music…
A great summary of key aspects of my recent work on post-human economics in GMI and The Exponentialist 👇
🚨Capitalism is dying. AI solved the problem it was built to fix: scarcity. What comes next will blow your mind — [a thread 🧵]
Spent the holiday weekend orange-pilling my extended family on $BTC. Here are the main messages that seemed to make the most progress 👇 ⸻ You’re not crazy. Your dollars buy less. Assets are harder to reach. Your “balanced” portfolio underperforms reality. CPI is the wrong…
Evan's newsletter is great 🙌 now playing at the intersection of spatial computing and AI:
Time for a change... Medium Energy is now Dream Machines, focusing in on the convergence of spatial computing and AI. This is the most powerful force in technology today. Why? Because AI is supercharging spatial computing, and spatial is returning the favor — giving AI a body…
This is so important to understand
No one yet understands but AI is a deflationary nuclear bomb. The largest deflationary event of all time, dwarfing China's entry to the WTO, as intelligence and experience becomes as cheap as water and not a scarce good.... True scarce goods however get more costly
Yes…
Kardashev scale: civilization‘s progress is measured by how effectively it can harness energy @DMattin scale: civilization‘s progress will be measured by how effectively it can turn energy into super intelligence
Karl Ove Knausgaard’s strange, digressive, utterly grounded prose prefigures in the rise of the large language model in a weird way when I read it I feel that it is, more acutely than any other writing, clearly discernible as having been written by a person and not an AI weird,…
If we choose to use LLMs as answer machines, our creative and intellectual faculties will wither. We’ll have found a new way to minimise ourselves. What’s more, a future artist or writer who uses an LLM in this way will generate outputs that are, by definition, mediocre. Anyone…
🔴 Did you see it already? 🔥 In this sneak peek behind the paywall, Exponentialist co-creators @RaoulGMI and @DMattin are sharing their most recent monthly Fireside Chat with our viewers. 🔥 They discuss the latest news in emerging technologies and the trends driving…
Every month @RaoulGMI and I sit down with the amazing Exponentialist community and talk about everything we're seeing AI, robotics, and more, and most of all what it *means* for all of us. We've taken this one outside the paywall. Enjoy... youtube.com/watch?v=s2_Lrr…
OpenAI just launched its new o3 reasoning model The big question: does it blast through the AGI barrier? Tyler Cowan thinks it does. That means today goes down in history as AGI Day...
