  Talk about moving goalposts. This one from MSFT's Suleyman may well take the cake. “Superintelligence” just went from intelligence beyond all humans to merely “delivering product value”. 🙄

  Microsoft can pursue superintelligence independently after OpenAI declares AGI, using AGI's weights as the starting point. Fully automated AI research, combined with the sheer amount of compute available to Microsoft, could suddenly turn it into a frontier lab. [image]

  One place MAI-Image-2 really knocks it out of the park is surrealist images. Try this one: Close-up zoomed in macro photo of a bright orange clownfish hiding among stark white peonies with bright yellow stamens. High contrast, shallow depth of field, vibrant wildlife [image]
