It would be interesting to find out what insight he discovered about the game to consistently rise like that.

It can't be just play like AI.

Any other Korean on the Korean Go program could have done the same.

In fact, many did when AlphaGo was the pinnacle of AI.


The usage of the word hexapentacontadictapole is very good

The Acknowledgements section, at the end of the paper, is very entertaining (as is the rest of the paper)

There have already been examples of people manipulating scientific readings to make a quick buck on a prediction market bet

There are examples of people manipulating precipitation monitors to get crop insurance payouts: https://www.agweb.com/news/business/rain-robbers-how-four-fa...

The incentive was already there without prediction markets, just like the incentive to screw with drug trials has been around as long as biotech companies that are publicly traded have been making drugs. Wherever there is a measurement tied to a monetary payout, unscrupulous people will try to manipulate it.

This doesn’t change anything since the incentive already existed before prediction markets, people are getting unreasonably emotional about prediction markets due to headline overload.

Creating a new incentive where one does not exist can create moral hazards, an easy example is introducing wildfire prediction markets.


> Ask with a cursor and you resume where you left off.

How does the provider know what event the cursor you provided refers to?

Sounds like external state that needs to be managed ("cursor" -> timestamp)


That is completely fine. In the spec cursors just need to be lexicographically comparable. They could easily be timestamps if the provider chooses to. In many of my example they are just alphanumeric dictionaries.


We're now at Feb 2027 of the ai 2027 report

  OpenBrain presents Agent-2 to the government, including the National Security Council (NSC), the Department of Defense (DOD), and the U.S. AI Safety Institute (AISI). OpenBrain wants to maintain a good relationship with the executive branch, because it is basically the only actor that can stop them now, and if they don’t keep it informed it might find out anyway and be displeased.


Is this a weird terminator fanfiction with a fictional competent Trump administration? I thought it was going to be a prediction or something but it just seems to be speculative fiction.
