This is one of these things like paying MPs more that would probably be a good idea, but is so symbolically unpopular it will never happen. It would signal both PMs getting above themselves and a transition to a presidential style. Parties would win votes by promising to cancel…

Anyone with a basic understanding of how humans operate on incentives should not be surprised by this. UK tax policy heavily punishes earning more. Any serious government would remedy this.

NEW - we've data showing huge numbers of people reducing their income to avoid high marginal income tax rates. Not just at the £100k point (as previously reported). But at the £50k point:

After vowing to rebuild Clandon Park after its 2015 fire, @nationaltrust will now restore it as a "poetic" ruin. NT should preserve heritage, not fund pretentious architectural gargoyles fetishising its destruction. If the NT won't fulfil its statutory duty, somebody else should.

Whether you want a bigger or smaller state, it’s remarkable how almost every budget makes our tax system worse and more complicated.

This can't be real, even though it says "not teleoperated." The movements are so smooth and the activities so varied. If this is true, China really is ahead of the curve.

Home humanoid robots are getting closer. Shenzhen MindOne Robotics is testing their robot brain on the Unitree G1, and it looks like the G1 has already learned to do human-like household chores. Watering plants, moving packages, cleaning mattresses, tidying up, etc. Honestly,…

SIMA 2 🤝 Genie 3 We tested SIMA 2’s abilities in simulated 3D worlds created by our world model Genie 3. It demonstrated unprecedented adaptability by navigating its surroundings and took meaningful steps toward goals.


Keith Dear reposteó

Super excited to announce SIMA 2! It’s a general agent that can understand & reason about complex instructions and complete tasks in simulated game worlds, even ones it has never seen before. Incredible to see how it can learn just from self-play… a crucial step towards AGI


Keith Dear reposteó

Exhibit number one million in the series “if I showed this tech to a panel of AI experts ten years ago, most of them would say this is AGI”

SIMA 2 is our most capable AI agent for virtual 3D worlds. 👾🌐 Powered by Gemini, it goes beyond following basic instructions to think, understand, and take actions in interactive environments – meaning you can talk to it through text, voice, or even images. Here’s how 🧵

3 years ago I started the SIMA project with the dream of using 3D games as worlds in which to train and test Gemini based game agents — all as a stepping stone towards real world AGI. See the linked DeepMind blog post for more information about what the team has since achieved!

Self-improvement 🔄 SIMA 2 can teach itself new skills, learning through trial-and-error, based on feedback from Gemini. Getting better the more it plays – without additional human input.

I find it beautifully British that we already have a sketch for this exact scenario.

one of the reasons we can't have nice thinks in the UK is because every time someone posts an obviously scandalous train ticket price, 300 pedants come out the woodwork to say 'actually if you book at midnight on a tuesday on a full moon while whistling dixie you can save 3%"

I took delivery of a beautiful new shiny HW4 Tesla Model X today, so I immediately took it out for an FSD test drive, a bit like I used to do almost daily for 5 years. Basically... I'm amazed - it drives really, really well, smooth, confident, noticeably better than what I'm used…

This is admirably detailed from Anthropic but the incident is pretty chilling. The best case scenario here seems to be very costly cybersecurity arms races for the foreseeable future.

We believe this is the first documented case of a large-scale AI cyberattack executed without substantial human intervention. It has significant implications for cybersecurity in the age of AI agents. Read more: anthropic.com/news/disruptin…

We disrupted a highly sophisticated AI-led espionage campaign. The attack targeted large tech companies, financial institutions, chemical manufacturing companies, and government agencies. We assess with high confidence that the threat actor was a Chinese state-sponsored group.

My prediction from ~summer '25 was that we'd see this in ≤12 months. It took 3. We detected and disrupted an AI state-sponsored cyber espionage campaign.

Today, we are launching Red Queen Bio (redqueen.bio), an AI biosecurity company, with a $15M seed led by @OpenAI. Biorisk grows exponentially with AI capabilities. Our mission is to scale biological defenses at the same rate. A 🧵 on who we are + what we do!👇🏻1/19
