OpenAI's New Image Model Challenges Google, Near‑Photorealistic
As it tries to hit 1 billion weekly active users -> OpenAI Takes Aim at Google with New Image Model "The images generated by that model, which some are calling “gpt-image-2,” are genuinely impressive and, in some cases, nearly indistinguishable from real images." "The new image model, which will likely be released in the upcoming weeks, is significantly better at generating complex images and diagrams, said a person with knowledge of the model." https://t.co/wMHh36zi7m

Narrow AI Already Superintelligent; Coding Advances Outpace General AI
Artificial Super Intelligence is already here. It's just narrow ASI, not general ASI. In chess, go, or just about any task for which we can generate infinite training data and trivially verify correctness, we've achieved super-intelligence. Coding isn't quite as...

The difference today vs. 1972: we built the Conestoga wagon with Starship, and there is now enough wealth in the hands of single individuals to keep space exploration going, independent of any government.
AI Already Near Superintelligence in Verifiable Game Domains
I think this is broadly correct, with a specific caveat: There are domains where correct answers are 100% verifiable, quickly, and where we can generate infinite training data. In those domains (go, chess, any computer games) AI models are already...
CRISPR Advances Outpace Ethics in Germline Editing Debate

Validate Sales Organically Before Spending on Ads
'Just run Facebook ads' is the worst advice for beginners in 2026. Build a simple funnel. Get 10 people to buy it organically. THEN run ads. If you can't sell it without ads, you won't sell it with ads.
