I discuss how the automation wave is already starting with white-collar job openings at a 12 year low in the U.S. I also talk about how we cannot simply count on taxing AI to support automated workers, as countries that don't tax will outcompete those who do. We therefore need international cooperation, based in MAIM, from the original Superintelligence Strategy paper.
I also discuss how bioweapons cannot be avoided via restricting open weight models as originally suggested in Dan's paper. Rather we need to heavily invest in bioweapon defense, and in particular use AI for wastewater monitoring and accelerating metagenomics (detangling mixed DNA).
- 4o (can search the web, use Canvas, evaluate Python server-side, generate images, but has no chain of thought)
- o3-mini (web search, CoT, canvas, but no image generation)
- o1 (CoT, maybe better than o3, but no canvas or web search and also no images)
- Deep Research (very powerful, but I have only 10 attempts per month, so I end up using roughly zero)
- 4.5 (better in creative writing, and probably warmer sound thanks to being vinyl based and using analog tube amplifiers, but slower and request limited, and I don't even know which of the other features it supports)
- 4o "with scheduled tasks" (why on earth is that a model and not a tool that the other models can use!?)
Why do I have to figure all of this out myself?
