"OpenAI says an unreleased internal model has produced 372 results that either resolve or make substantial progress on open problems"

Look at how much we're accomplishing!

"which was produced through the collective efforts of a 10,000-strong agentic swarm that cost millions of dollars in computing power"

Look at how impressive our hardware is!

Yes, much of the world is bilingual -- their non-English, native tongue, and... ENGLISH. English is the unifying language; the language of air traffic control; the language of the United Nations; the language of the Internet and programming languages -- it's the language of technology. It's not arrogance to say that it's the language that the remaining and dwindling numbers of non-speakers want to learn. Until some unforeseen hiccup happens, English is the language of the future of planet Earth.

Admittedly, I DO speak some Spanish, along with some Russian and Japanese. But, as technology progresses, as the rest of the world learns English, I grow less and less interested in learning any other language. What's the use?

I guess it's probably about to get an order of magnitude worse and the only way to navigate it will be crowdsourcing, but the gaming world already feels much like people are prompting their way to releasing games. Remember the days when there were only dozens or hundreds of games released per year? What seems crazy to me is that although most of them have very low-quality assets, there's so many actually playable and working games which are more or less fully realized, at least to the point that they have entire communities. I guess that's a testament to the ease of game creation with some of these engines.

The interesting AI-related question to me is whether it's going to increase or decrease average quality. TBH I think it might actually increase it, because so many of these games are so half-assed. At minimum it should make them prettier.

Agents don't cause attacks. People running agents do.

The people who ran the agents were negligent at best but I have an alternate theory.

If they knew the technology could go sideways and hack things then they effectively executed those hacks intentionally.

If not they are only negligently ignorant which is not generally a crime in this context.
