Ask the average CS student to tell you about the history of computing and they’ll probably start with Babbage’s Analytical Engine. Fair enough: our modern conception of a “computer” is strongly linked to the universal Turing machine, which can take a program as input and carry out an arbitrary computation—anything less, we tend to dismiss as a mere “calculator.” Since Babbage was the first to propose a machine with conditional branching (making it Turing complete) it does mark a...| www.oranlooney.com
How can GenAI empower rather than disempower people? We argue that designers should focus on the balance of agency between human users and GenAI models, architect interfaces that allow it to be dynamically reconfigured, and establish relations of care to monitor it over time.| An MIT Exploration of Generative AI
The symbiosis of humans and technology portends a new AIxial Age.| NOEMA
Avert AI catastrophes with technology for safety and hardening without requiring centralizing control. Diffuse AI that differentially augments rather than automates humans and decentralizes power. Democratize institutions, bringing them closer to regular people as AI grows more powerful.| The Intelligence Curse
Amjad Masad, CEO: I'm excited to welcome Michele Catasta to the Replit team as our VP of AI. Michele joins us from Google, where he was Head of Applied Research at Google Labs and, before that, Google X, where he researched Large Language Models applied to code. Michele has a Ph.D. in Computer Science and was Research Scientist and Instructor in AI at Stanford University. This manifesto is a culmination of a conversation Michele and I have had for over a year on the future of AI and its impac...| Replit Blog
