A bit of news: After nearly 9 years, I have decided to leave Google DeepMind and join Anthropic (after taking some time to recharge). I am incredibly grateful for my time at GDM. @demishassabis took a real chance letting me lead the AlphaFold team just six months after finishing my PhD, and the entire GDM team taught me so much about how to do great science. GDM is a special place, and I’ll still be excited to hear about what amazing things they discover next.

Show Codex a workflow once. Reuse it as a skill. Record & Replay lets you show Codex a recurring task, like filing an expense report or submitting a time-off request. Codex turns that demo into an inspectable, editable skill. You control when recording starts and stops.

We are entering a new era of the Cold War. Dario Amodei and Demis Hassabis are calling for a "U.S.-led coalition to shape rules and standards around artificial intelligence," excluding China. "Dario Amodei also said in his address that the coalition should structure access to frontier models and hardware - including both chips and other critical components - in a way that excludes China." The new Cold War will be a high-tech one in which the competition will be fundamentally excluded from all participation and involvement, because the technology affects national security and strategy.

Mike Myers has returned as Dr. Evil for a new Verizon commercial.

SpaceX has exercised the option to acquire @cursor_ai in an all-stock transaction with the goal of building the world’s most useful AI models. For the past few months, SpaceXAI has been jointly training a model with Cursor, which will be released in Cursor and Grok Build soon. We look forward to working closely with the Cursor team to advance our frontier AI capabilities

Qué absoluta desgracia. Qué absoluta tristeza. Y qué mierda es esta vida a veces. No sé ni que decir. Descansa en paz, Gaspi. Un fuerte abrazo a toda la familia y amigos.

💔💔💔

Descansa en paz Gaspi. La última vez que estuvimos juntos me mostraste y me contaste motivadisimo y ilusionado, como estabas mejorando tus hábitos y cuidándote. La vida es muy injusta… Cualquier persona que te conoció sabía que eras un tipazo.

No me lo creo 😓😓😓😓😓

With Guillermo del Toro’s recommendation, I started watching Apple TV+‘s “Widow’s Bay.” It’s so incredibly good that I couldn’t stop, so I binged through Episode 9 in one go. This horror-comedy, executive produced by Hiro Murai, is set in a cursed island town 40 miles off the coast of New England. Dense fog, violent storms, and all kinds of supernatural phenomena descend upon the town. It’s packed with horror elements, one after another. Fans of Stephen King and horror in general will love it. The pacing is excellent, and the balance between horror and humor is just right. Ironically, the mayor’s tireless efforts to attract tourists reminded me of Mayor Vaughn from “Jaws.” The townspeople are wonderfully eccentric as well, with personalities straight out of “Twin Peaks.” It’s been a long time since a series pulled me in this completely. I can’t wait for next Wednesday’s final episode.

Hoy Miguel Sebastián, exministro y economista, firma una tribuna VOMITIVA explicando que las joyas incautadas a Zapatero (1,3 millones según el informe pericial) no había por qué declararlas. Que un regalo personal no es renta en especie. Que llevárselo a casa "es una opción personal tan aceptable como la otra". Mientras tanto, este año Hacienda ha incluido 437.000 avisos a contribuyentes por ingresos en plataformas como Wallapop, Vinted o Airbnb. El umbral para que la plataforma te delate: 2.000 euros o 30 ventas al año. El mismo Estado que, si te casas, considera que el dinero que te regalan tus invitados es una donación sujeta a impuesto. Eso, para el ciudadano de a pie. Si eres político, juegas con otras reglas.

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

Google DeepMind published a 60-page paper mapping the road from AGI to superintelligence, written by Hutter, Legg, and Genewein. No hype, just a sober analysis The paper uses three levels. AGI = roughly average human performance across most cognitive tasks. ASI = a system that beats large, well-coordinated groups of human experts across virtually everything (their bar: tens of thousands of experts working ten years on one problem). Universal AI / AIXI = the theoretical ceiling, uncomputable, only approachable from below. Then they explore the question of how this could be achieved: Scaling compute, models, and data, the continuation of the trend that drove the breakthrough so far. It is the only path with historical data available for extrapolation. The core question: Does quantity transform into quality? Even if individual models plateau, the sheer act of running millions of faster AGI instances could trigger the leap. (A quick aside: that is a fascinating philosophical idea. It always reminds me of Hegel’s dialectic, the notion that quantity transforms into quality. We ought to start drawing on philosophical theories to make sense of the future.) Algorithmic paradigm shifts: a genuine break from the transformer pretraining paradigm. New architectures, new learning methods. However, hard to predict by definition. Recursive self-improvement: AI accelerates AI research, which produces better AI, which accelerates research further. Multi-agent coordination: superintelligence emerges from large collectives of AGI agents working together, like automated corporations or AI economies. Collective intelligence potentially far exceeding any individual model. The authors naturally point to what I repeatedly describe as the biggest bottleneck: energy. I recently linked to a few graphs showing, on the one hand, the extent to which energy is already becoming a problem and, on the other, how China dominates the expansion of both nuclear and solar energy in the global race. But the authors also address a profound shift in the world of work in a post-AGI era. I would say this is a reality we must face. So, it is not just about scaling, but also about whether the underlying conditions - such as energy and hardware - can be effectively established. Six things that could slow or stop all of this: The data wall. Quality training data runs out, possibly before the end of this decade. Resource demand grows too fast. Energy, chips, rare earths, investment. The physical infrastructure can't scale arbitrarily. The neural paradigm hits a ceiling. Pretrained transformers plus fine-tuning may not be enough to reach AGI, let alone go beyond it. Research gets harder. Keeping Moore's law going already needs 18x more researchers than in the 1970s. Ideas are genuinely harder to find as fields mature. The abstraction barrier. Models trained on human concepts may never invent new ones from scratch. Saturating GPQA or SWE-bench shows mastery of what humans already worked out, not the ability to go beyond it. Train only on pre-Newtonian physics and you won't reason your way to relativity. Deliberate slowdown. Regulation, accidents, public backlash. Real, but likely countered by the competitive pressure between companies and nations. I think it’s great that Google is addressing questions such as which paths they believe lead to AGI, what the road to ASI might look like, what challenges will arise, and much more. Overall, however, it sounds to me like all of this could actually succeed, making it, in that sense, a call to discuss and reflect on the consequences.
