I've already had to update the guide to which AI models to use that I wrote on Thursday to include Opus 5 and Codex's voice mode, both of which are significant & launched on Friday. Keeping up is challenging, even if you are following this stuff closely. www.oneusefulthing.org/p/an-opinion...

Analysis of how open weights AI proponents and frontier lab insiders differ in their expectations of AGI, ASI, and biosecurity risks.

Source details
I think most people, when talking about open weights AI models, don’t deeply believe in the vision of AGI/ASI that lab insiders tend to believe in. Like they don’t expect AI to really present grave semi-autonomous biosecurity or other similar risks. Whether this view is right or not, no one knows

Continuing our coverage from [yesterday](/?date=2026-07-26&category=social#item-fdeba3b7cfdb), Demonstration of an impressionist city builder game ('Cezanne') conceived and built with AI over a year.

Source details
A year later, Fable builds me a version of the Cezanne city builder game. The AI came up with the idea of an impressionist city builder where you paint with gestures & the town grows around it, with neighborhoods acquiring characters as they evolve. Play with it here: cezanne-city.netlify.app

AI Analysis

Following yesterday's News coverage, Commentary on OpenAI researcher perspectives regarding existential AI risks versus public skepticism of commercial motives.

Source details
Roon is a researcher at OpenAI. If you don’t believe that these risks are real, then you probably believe that the people in the labs discussing them are intentionally spreading FUD for purely commercial reasons and making up risks to keep their high margins via regulation.

Clarification on varying arguments concerning AI safety, distinguishing power concentration concerns from strict misuse risks.

Source details
I agree, and think I did a bad job on the second post’s phrasing: yes, there are many reasons you believe roon & company are incorrect, such as your concern that concentration of power is a bigger risk than AI misuse. I was not trying to imply a single option.

Reflections on the exponential acceleration of human technological development and tool-making over millennia.

Source details
For the better part of 20,000 centuries of human history, not much happened. We spent almost all of those making slightly different variations of one tool, we only figured out the metal thing after 19,940 centuries. And stuff really took off 2 centuries ago. That we can sort of keep up is amazing.
