Distilled content can also sever the direct link to infringement if the new models never saw the original texts.

The difference is volume. They spent hundreds of billions of tokens on these agents. If you put "a million weed whackers on dog backs" you would see the difference. We also run agents, but for shorter spans between supervisions, a

I sometimes use 5 agents at once, but 3 work on separate tasks and the 4th is watching them by tmux and steering, and the fifth is also watching the whole team for testing quality standards. So 2 out of five are just helping me watch the ot

It's not even synthetic data as such - often it is environments. So the models create their own data solving tasks in generated environments. I am making one such environment for computer use agents, 600 tasks, each of them a mini app.

As long as anyone can put anything they want in the prompt box there is no safety. It's just a tool, the danger comes from what it is being used for.

It is doing that already - every day 1B people or more use AI for the tune of a few trillion tokens. Imagine that much language flowing between brains and AI agents. It carries real our world problems to AI, their solutions back to us, and

Probably the opposite of Wall-E utopia, AI will keep us busy. For one - we are becoming harder to differentiate, competence is hidden deep and surface signals don't carry anymore. Niches and specializations feel threatened by imitation

> we will have serfdom instead Makes no sense - why would anyone use humans as serfs when AI is there. I think everyone will have AI and probably robotic automations, they will all be cheap and accessible.

Even if AI used the result, AI pushed it to the finish line while Levent and Tristan did not. But I understand the approach was different, the information leak was only that it was "doable".

You can just spin up deep research agents that ingest many sources at once to produce reports that don't replicate any one source too much. Since agents compare against sources they provide across-source analysis - what is the distribu

I use a file "task.md" as blackboard. It is read/written by multiple agents, usually monitor agent, worker agent, judge agent and reflexion agent. Each work item is an open gate initially, after agent solves it, it appends on

I am wondering if in 2-3 years AI will be heads and shoulders above us in both images and text. Then will we continue to see the slop accusations? Maybe its slop is better than most of our work.
