Masayoshi Son announced that Sam Altman agreed to launch AGI in Japan within two years. A new AI model called "Crystal Intelligence" is being developed, which operates autonomously and can read all source code built over the past 30 years.

SB OpenAI Japan has been established.
Crystal AI capabilities: Attends meetings, replaces call centers, and has long-term memory.
Investment: $3 billion allocated for its development.
SoftBank’s push: Assembled a 1,000-person sales engineering team and aims to create "Stargate Japan."

DeepSeek also wrote some PTX (NVIDIA’s intermediate assembly language). Low-level GPU programming is the way to go, folks. The more you optimize, the more you reduce costs or increase your performance budget for further advancements elsewhere at no additional cost

we got agi at home

None of my intelligent (130+ IQ) friends use GPT-4o. They only use it selectively and rarely e.g. for voice or a DallE, but almost never use it spontaneously in their own time. This has been a long term consistent observation, but today confirmation came. A new meta-analysis showed time using ChatGPT increases exponentially with lower IQ, with drop off to near 0 minutes at 145+. ChatGPT is mostly appealing as a way to fill an otherwise vacant mind that has no interesting thoughts and minimal goal-directed behavior. Intelligent people find stimulation from Claude 3.5 Sonnet, not from marinading in vaguely pleasant GPT-4o slop like a soggy potato sitting in oil in a dirty oven tray
