"All of us forecast that Superhuman AI Researcher (SAR) will likely arrive at some point in 2027... We also predict a 35-65% chance that Top-Expert-Dominating AI (TED-AI), AIs that can automate all white-collar work, will arrive before 2028." blog.aifutures.org/p/q35-tim…

🤯 Wow! Can we just update any app on our phones to behave exactly like we want them to?!
Siri has been disappointing. Aren't these the types of questions we were told it would answer for us? A quick search in Messages for the term showed the answer immediately.
Do I really need frontier model intelligence to answer this question?

The only thing that would sway my vote this election is six text messages from an unidentified number during my work day.
If you still haven't filed your taxes with @turbotax yet for 2025, don't upgrade to MacOS 27.0 Golden Gate. Freezes every time you try to switch back to EasyStep from the Forms view, or when you try to print.

Nature always finds a way. And kids will always find a way to route around restrictions when it comes to chatting with friends.
Some NPR podcasts started getting mysterious comments on Spotify. They made no sense to the staff reading them – until someone from a younger generation cracked the code.

No one is going to care about the underlying AI model soon, especially for consumers. The models are already good enough for most of what people need. What consumers want is for AI to be useful, easy to access, and FREE or bundled into something they already pay for.
Clayton Christensen and Michael Raynor described this shift in the figure below which is in their book The Innovator’s Solution. When a product isn’t good enough, performance wins. Once it is good enough, convenience and cost start to matter more.
The winning question may soon be less Whose model is best? and more Why would I pay separately for this?
I’m excited to almost finally have a decent Siri!
For today's “Pogue’s Posts" column, I tested the new AI Siri. HARD. It missed a few out of my 125 tasks—but some of its triumphs were jaw-dropping. If you can get into the habit of using Siri, you'll do a lot less opening apps, fumbling around, and wasting time.

Surprising this bug has existed in @RobinhoodApp charts for so long: the current day isn’t shown, unless you go to the “advanced” chart.

I jokingly predicted that SF would shift hours to push engineers into off-peak AI pricing. Nope, our workday in the US is already China's off-peak.
I'm feeling very European at the moment. I think I'll go have a cigarette and do some people watching.
If you miss the good old days of walking into a Blockbuster and picking out a movie for the night, I've got the solution for you. bingebuster.net/

Isn't it funny how Claude is always telling you to check with your doctor/lawyer/CPA to verify? I'm pretty sure Claude knows as much or more than they do at this point.

At a coffee shop and now Square lets you pay with Bitcoin. The barista got super excited that I clicked on it (I was curious). “Wait, you have Bitcoin?! Nobody has ever used it. Like we’re not sure the point.”
In the end I paid with my credit card. She was disappointed.

Every engineer working with agents eventually hits the same wall — context loss, session amnesia, knowledge that lives nowhere agents can reach. You can let each of them rediscover these pain points solo, or you can solve it once at the infrastructure layer.
GitKB brings your whole org to the cutting edge without the bruises.
