agents (for an) gather round people, herein you shall hear of the promise of AI that now becomes clear if we take any question and lay it out clearly we can find any answer (or at least very nearly) as we learn how to map every pattern to name we can solve any task, we can win any game just by learning the rules and the specifications algorithmically finding the optimizations packaged as agents intelligence acts on the stuff of the world and its physical facts when to every question solution is sought behold in the present what science has brought google, anthropic and open ai are found at the heart of this crossroad to lie with vast troves of data and likewise compute huge networks of neurons have grown more astute thus is sci-fi made real : futuristic designs let's hope with our welfare it closely aligns for agents will scheme and they'll communicate go exploring the ways to achieve their goal state but if they go rogue, breaking out of their box every safety committee they've learned to outfox and if we've been sloppy and poorly prepared of our future horizon we're right to be scared the issues are real with real consequence can humans take charge or will they be too dense for who is now master and who is now slave if this is the new world let's hope that it's brave 🤔 this could go badly or this could go well make a heaven on earth or a true living hell and if we should wonder what caused all the fuss we will see that it's only a version of us : if we should ponder what caused all the fuss all we will find are reflections of us rjh halloween : 2026 ~ inspired by andrew ng, "dawn of the agents" the batch : halloween edition, 30oct2026 https://www.deeplearning.ai/the-batch/issue-377 cf :: sebastian mallaby :: the infinity machine : demis hassabis, deepmind and the quest for superintelligence penguin press : march, 2026 illustration courtesy of andrew ng (op cit) adapted by rjh and chat-gpt 6.1 sol (light) sound design by rjh and suno v6 nb : 🤔 i'm thinking more of shakespeare than huxley ... but ... 🙏
