AIAndrej Karpathy gave Claude Opus 5 the first paragraph of Lord of the Rings with a 1M token budget and asked for a Three.js render. Opus spent about two hours writing 5500 lines of code that procedurally renders the story, which Karpathy calls janky but fun. He notes the model struggled to audit its work because it cannot efficiently perceive video or play the resulting game, relying on slow screenshots that led to several errors.

AIAnthropic-affiliated researcher Amanda Askell posted that people should not be unkind to those who claim deep learning is hitting a wall. She framed the remark lightly, saying everyone needs a little hope.

AIAmanda Askell, who is affiliated with Anthropic, says she does not believe in an "altered carbon" future divided into immortal elites and ordinary humans. She argues it is not admirable to accept that outcome simply because one expects to be among the elite.

AIAmanda Askell, who is affiliated with Anthropic, posted a brief reaction to people discussing how to avoid "the permanent underclass," comparing her response to a Padmé moment. The post offers no further argument or data, so its substance is limited to this comment.

AIA GPT model, prompted by Korsky, proved a stronger result on Erdős problem 119 than a 44-page 1991 Annals paper by Beck, using only one page of simple harmonic analysis techniques. The original post by Sebastien Bubeck, who calls the results crazy, is a brief remark, so the exact claims rest on the quoted thread.

AIArvind Narayanan's ICML keynote argues that AI's labor impact will depend on slow organizational adaptation rather than a single lab milestone. He cites reliability measurements showing agent accuracy rose much faster than reliability over the last 24 months, and points to software engineering and past technologies like electricity and ATMs. He concludes that evaluation work and human judgment will become more central as building tasks are increasingly automated.

AILiquid AI is asking developers and researchers who build efficient, general-purpose AI for on-device hardware such as phones, laptops, cars, robots, and enterprise systems to introduce themselves in the comments. It invites readers to describe what they are building or studying, whether shipping products, publishing research, or working on side projects.

AISebastien Bubeck joked that AI has moved from the "Sparks" of 2023 to "The Real Thing" in three years, citing progress since then. A quoted post from Tony Feng argues AGI arguably exists by July 2026, though he admits the definition of AGI is unclear.
