Entering The Artificial General Intelligence Spectrum In 2025

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

Technological development has hit warp speed – in a flash, stars have stretched into starlines and where we are today is far from where we were just days ago. It’s increasingly difficult to predict where we will be tomorrow.

One thing is clear: we are entering the Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) spectrum and Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) now seems clearly within reach. However it is defined, AGI will not appear suddenly; it will evolve and already we see signs of its incremental unfolding.

AGI has long been the ultimate goal—a technology capable of performing the mental work of humans, transforming how we work, live, think. Now, as we step into 2025, glimmers of AGI are already appearing and promise to grow stronger as the year moves along.

CEO Who Bragged About Replacing Workers With AI Now Distressed That AI Will Replace His Job Too

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

Last month, Klarna CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski boasted that he hadn’t hired anyone in a year as a result of his company embracing AI.

Klarna’s workforce had shrunk by about 22 percent since doubling down roughly a year ago. Meanwhile, the company has amassed a valuation of well over $14 billion, in what Siemiatkowski frames as a financially successful bid to cash in on the hype surrounding AI.

The fintech company, which offers “buy now, pay later” services for the e-commerce industry, made a big fuss about its OpenAI ChatGPT integration, gushing that its AI assistant could do the work of “700 full-time agents” in a February press release.

Scientists Trace Fast Radio Burst to Surprise Source For First Time

Posted by in category: space

When a magnetar within the Milky Way galaxy belched out a flare of colossally powerful radio waves in 2020, scientists finally had concrete evidence to pin down an origin for fast radio bursts.

A mind-blowing new study has now narrowed down the mechanism. By studying the twinkling light of a fast radio burst detected in 2022, a team of astronomers has traced its source to the powerful magnetic field around a magnetar, in a galaxy 200 million light-years away.
