The AI Workmate Concept can move and rotate to accomplish various tasks, but can it ever truly know love? | Image: Lenovo Alongside a handful of new laptop concepts (and a range of real products too), Lenovo used MWC to announce a pair of AI-based productivity companion concepts. Both are standalone desk devices designed to boost productivity while providing office workers with a bit of artificial dystopic companionship. Lenovo describes its AI Workmate Concept as an "always-on desk companion," but it looks like a tiny robotic arm on a swiveling base with a bulbous screen on the end displaying an expressive pair of eyes. It doesn't look as engaging as a human co-worker, but through local AI processing you can interact with the device as a smart assistant via v … Read the full story at The Verge.

The magnetic pen case is pulling wedge duty in there. Lenovo has a few new Yoga laptops it's announcing at MWC 2026: the 14-inch Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition, 15-inch Yoga Pro 7a, and 14-inch Yoga 9i 2-in-1 Aura Edition. The most interesting of the pack is that 9i 2-in-1, outfitted with a 2880 x 1800, 120Hz OLED touchscreen. It includes a Yoga Pen Gen 2 stylus with a case that attaches to the laptop's lid. Fold the convertible back with the pen case attached and the screen sits at a slightly elevated angle. This should be more ergonomic while drawing and taking notes than writing on it flat, and the laptop has rounded edges and corners for a comfier grip.

Lenovo goes a little Franken-laptop. | Photo: Antonio G. Di Benedetto / The Verge One of Lenovo's big laptop concepts for MWC 2026 is a modular ThinkBook with two screens. Officially called the ThinkBook Modular AI PC Concept, the proof-of-concept is a 14-inch productivity machine with two plug-and-play interchangeable ports and a second 14-inch display magnetically attached to the rear of its lid. The second display is removable, and can be propped up on a magnetic kickstand (stored under the laptop) and plugged in via USB-C. But this concept PC has one more trick: removing the keyboard / trackpad deck and replacing it with the second screen, turning the whole thing into a dual-screen laptop you use with the keyboard a … Read the full story at The Verge.

I love a tall boy. Lenovo put a foldable display on a gaming handheld.

When unfolded, the controllers can be repositioned to all four sides, allowing you to play with the screen in vertical or horizontal orientations. In vertical splitscreen mode, you can put your game on one half of the screen a … Read the full story at The Verge.

Google's latest AI image generation model

Thinking that UBI will solve anything comes from a misunderstanding about money. Money is a map, not a territory. All UBI experiments have been small scale, and of course UBI works at a small scale. No shit you can give a few people money and it’s all good and they are happy. Because the people they are buying from aren’t also on UBI. But once you add in the U part… What do you plan to buy with your free government dollars? Want to buy eggs? Sorry, the egg people stopped making eggs, they are living free on UBI. Want to buy a house? Who built it? Nobody, because they all were getting UBI and didn’t want to build houses anymore. They write poems now. There’s still old houses available, but the price for them has 20xed, well outside of what you can afford. Belief in UBI comes from a fallacy that the economy is some natural thing. I see supermarket. Supermarket has eggs for $5. I get $10,000 UBI. I can buy 2,000 eggs. Of course this isn’t what happens. Like most things politicians invent, nobody considered the second order effects, and you will not be getting 2,000 eggs with your UBI. Cause everyone got the UBI and bought the eggs. Either no more eggs or price of eggs goes up. And even worse, many people quit work once they got the UBI. So now less eggs are made. And your whole UBI check gets you 6 or 7 eggs instead of 2,000, if that. The root of this stupidity is that people see themselves apart from society. They don’t know where stuff comes from, it might as well be the stuff fairy that puts it on the supermarket shelves and sets prices. If the stuff fairy was real, UBI might make sense. But we live in a society. We work for each other. At least the adults do. There already is UBI in the world for some people, it’s called allowance. It’s for children and high-end prostitutes. It reminds me of the episode of Malcolm in the Middle where Malcolm dates this dumb hot girl, and she suggests solving poverty by making every 1 dollar bill into a million dollar bill. Have the UBI people considered that idea? What comes first, actually trying UBI or the end of democracy? (what you actually want is for everything to be cheap to produce. but sorry, 6 citizens “have concerns” and now we have six more weeks of expensive memory. I’m glad the Chinese are ramping up memory production)

Everything AI can do, Perplexity Computer does for you.

Over the past fifty years, the U.S. economy built a giant rent-extraction layer on top of human limitations: things take time, patience runs out, brand familiarity substitutes for diligence, and most people are willing to accept a bad price to avoid more clicks. Trillions of dollars of enterprise value depended on those constraints persisting. – Citrini Research I’m glad I’m not the only one saying it. 7 years ago, I saw a Google Duplex demo where an AI called a restaurant to make a reservation for you. At first Google thought it was great, but then they realized what the implications were. No restaurant would be able to take phone reservations any more. “Make me a reservation at 10 restaurants and give me a list.” Google pulled down the video. What happened since is what had to happen. Third party marketplaces sprung up for reservations, and idk it’s been a while since I went to fancy dinner, but I imagine the restaurants have just started charging. Or at least the first party reservation sites do. The best anyone can hope for is a free market, with everything properly priced. But for decades, the American market has not been free. It’s used purposefully added friction to exploit a time asymmetry between the business and you. And due to things like call centers, this has been very profitable for the businesses. Cable companies and insurance rely on the fact that your time is more valuable than theirs. They can hire people in India at scale to waste your time. They can use procedure and big data to design protocols to drive you just to the point of frustration at little cost to them. How often do you diligently check Uber and Lyft and select the cheaper one? Enter AI, the great equalizer of time. As it stands today, it’s looking like human level AI will actually end up with the people. This is not something we should take for granted, it’s happened due to the API being simple (tokens, on a diversified place like OpenRouter) and the priorities of the Chinese state. I feared the API would end up being complex, like the model would be deeply embedded in your phone or OS. But like people who are good with computers, the models want a terminal, not some candy ass iPad UI. When you analyze the AI supply chain, there’s 5 tiers. Electricity, chip manufacturing, chip design / software, models, and applications. I work on the chip design / software tier, and with a lot of hard work, I’m not too worried about a monopoly there. NVIDIA deserves return on their investment, they were very early, but there’s not a runaway flywheel here (unlike, say Google search) to continue rent seeking. And the application tier is totally commoditized. opencode is good, but it’s open source, almost all of the performance differentiation is due to the models, and if it starts to try to rent seek there will be tons of forks immediately. Godspeed to anyone who was dumb enough to invest in a GPT wrapper company. The model tier is where I was the most worried. But here is where a great turning point is happening. Anthropic put out this lambasted blog post that looks exactly like the last gasps of a moat that shouldn’t exist. After whining about how the Chinese used their API, they ended with this call to action. But no company can solve this alone. As we noted above, distillation attacks at this scale require a coordinated response across the AI industry, cloud providers, and policymakers. We are publishing this to make the evidence available to everyone with a stake in the outcome. Nobody should “coordinate” with them. They stand alone as a vanguard of the rent seeking apparatus that is long past its expiration date. The Z.ai, Qwen, MiniMax, and Kimi models are only 6-12 months behind. And everyone in the world is rooting for the Chinese models, not closed source rent seeking from the USA. Because nobody wants the continuation of rent-seeking billionaires. The status quo is cooked. It’s time to flip the table, not rearrange the seats. I think the difference is not quite as nuanced. The West wants a more efficient rent seeking system. The China (sic) want AI as a public utility. – @ScottCDunn on X We shouldn’t take for granted what we have right now. All the top tier open source models are currently being produced by China, and circumstances could change and that could stop. But I think they view the models as their complement, and you should commoditize your complement. If you are in the business of chip production and electricity generation, it’s a strategic advantage to have the layers above that be commodity. Not to mention the added bonus of the collapse of the US economy. Frankly, it’s well deserved. Nobody should build an economy based on rent seeking and increasing friction. I pray the collapse will be swift and legible so that reconstruction (in the right way) can begin as soon as possible. It’s possible that superhuman intelligence will have some mega-compounding return and this calculus will change, but superhuman intelligence will likely just not be understandable to people, so as long as civilization is people, human intelligence is enough. The era of purposefully frustrating humans is over. The Chinese open source model running on the box under my desk can pass the Turing Test. When you call, e-mail, text, or show me an ad, you’ll never know if it’s me or my model seeing it.

The share of the world population living in extreme poverty has never declined as rapidly as in the past three decades.The decline in China was particularly fast, and given that one in six people in the world lives there, we’re often asked whether the decline in global poverty was only due to the decline in China.The chart shows the data that answers this question. In blue, we see the global decline. In red, we see the decline if we exclude China from the data. In the world outside of China, 33% lived in extreme poverty in 1990; by 2025, this share was down to 12%.The large economic growth that lifted 940 million Chinese people out of extreme poverty since 1990 was a major contributor to the global decline in poverty. But the non-Chinese world also achieved a very large reduction.It is not true that the global decline in poverty was only due to China.

I watched this video about how AI has already ruined music. Her mom sent her a song and she told her mom it was AI. She played the song and it sounded like slop. It had inspired lyrics like: From quiet roots, a garden grows She’s got that light, and now it shows Yes, she rises, and she glows Oh, she rises, now she knows Pure slop. Compare it to: I’m in the cut acting crazy I’m in the whip doing eighty Only God can judge me And only she can save me Note that “cut” and “whip” are not exactly words, but products of a culture. Ulysses is particularly hard to read because you don’t know 1910’s Irish pop culture. I can’t believe Marvel movies were popular. The first Iron Man was good, but by the time we got to Spider-Man: No Way Home it was practically a clip show with triple inside references and cringy fourth wall breaking humor. How it got a 8.1 on IMDB is beyond me, and just reduced my trust for IMDB. Marvel movies are also the easiest things to make with AI. Little story and long term coherence, no “progression of the genre”, tons of eye candy special effects. It’s shocking with how large the budgets for them were that they couldn’t pay a story guy a little. I felt similarly about Avatar 2, so much so that I rewrote the plot and didn’t care enough to see Avatar 3. For many people, all they want is slop. I’m sure I’ve written about it before, but I see a world where 95% of people end up basically wireheaded. The people who don’t care about progression. The people who want to exist in their loops. They will find their loop and exist in it forever. AI can play an amazing game of chess. Someday AI will produce good code when the RLVR environments get set up correctly. But I don’t see a path with current tech to not produce garbage art. Art is defined as what pushes the boundaries of civilization. AI tools will be used to help produce all the audio/visual art in the future (as computers have helped for a long time), but as long as civilization is human, the loci of control of good art will remain human. So yea. Bad art will be cheap to make. If you want 100 more Marvel movies and uninspired deriviative pop music, there has never been a better time to be alive – unless you wanted to make money producing that trash. That was never made by real artists anyway, just algorithmically driven sell outs. Does the focus group say they like giant spiders? I’m so glad AI will make that obsolete. Art is defined by what is expensive. What is rare. What is expectation breaking. What is embedded in a complex and thriving culture. Not slop produced by a parrot like Marvel movies.

Debates over whether religion is booming or dying are common. What does the data say?Most countries lack long-term data on religious identity, but results from the Pew Research Center offer insights into changes over the decade from 2010 to 2020. (Unfortunately, 2020 is the most recent year for which we have comparable global data.)At a global level, there was barely any change. The share of people identifying with any religion dropped by just one percentage point, from 77% to 76%.But religious affiliation did drop significantly across many countries in Europe, the Americas, and Oceania. You can see this drop for a selection of countries in the chart.In Australia, rates dropped from 75% to 58%. In the United States and Chile, the percentage has decreased from roughly 85% to 70%.So while religious affiliation is stable in many parts of the world, this data shows religion is becoming less prominent in others.Note that this data is based on self-identification with any religion; it doesn’t tell us about changes in practices or rituals, such as prayer or attending services.Explore more data on religious identification, importance, and the frequency of practices across the world in our new topic page on religion.

Many people in America are complaining about the cost of housing. But do they understand the damage it will do if it prices go down? Everyone who owns a house will suffer. Some of those people don’t even fully own the house, they have a mortgage. So when prices go down, they will be underwater, having put money for years into an asset that now has no value. It’s simply out of the question for housing prices to go down. If you want to buy a house to live in, sorry. The boomers were told houses are appreciating assets, and now we must bend reality to make that true. Until you solve this problem, you will never solve the housing affordability crisis. It has nothing to do with zoning, building costs, or environmental reviews. It has to do with people holding bags they need to dump on you.

Our new Hong Kong office. It’s starting to shape up what tiny corp’s product will be. It’s not much of a change from what we sell and do now, but the vision is clearer. Every month, we see these LLMs become more and more human. However, there’s a major difference. They do not learn. Everyone has the same Claude/Codex/Kimi, with the same weights, the same desires, and the same biases. If current trends continue, the collapse in diversity will be staggering. To paraphrase: I think there is a world market for maybe five people. This is not the future I want to live in. If trends continue where there’s a single model with frozen weights and all learning is in-context, the cloud will win. Except in some highly latency sensitive (fighting robots) or connectivity critical (self driving cars) environments, it will be cheaper to run in batch on the cloud. The enshittification that came to the web won’t be the driving force to local models. We either live in a world where open models are so bad even user-hostile closed models are better, or open models are good enough, and competition to run them through sites like openrouter will prevent enshittification. The only way local models win is if there’s some value in full on learning per user or organization. At that point, with entirely different compute needing to run per user, local will beat out cloud. The open question is if everything that’s unique about you can fit in a 10 kB CLAUDE.md. If that’s true, we have a pretty sad future ahead. It’s the Attack of the Clones, swarms of identical minds you have no say over all varying in a small boxed-in way. This isn’t learning, it’s costuming. Everyone who has used these things knows how little of an impact prompting makes compared to the model. It’s the Internet funneled into a little box you can edit on your profile. Write 3 paragraphs about what makes you unique. We have to build for a future where that isn’t true. 90% of people will choose the cloud, and what they will find is that they are no longer meaningfully in the loop. The dream is an AI product that will do your job for you while you continue to get paid. But this cannot exist, that’s way too much of a fee to pay to the middleman. If you choose the homogenous mind, you are superfluous and will be cut out. Is there anything uniquely valuable about you? And I mean honestly, not the self-esteem pumping speeches you may have heard in school. If there’s not, I have some bad news for you… We already sell the hardware. Consumer GPUs still are the cheapest way to run models. There’s tons of work required on the infrastructure. The frontend will be the future iterations of OpenClaw and opencode. But the key distinction from what you have today is that your tinybox will learn. It will update the weights based on its interactions with you. Like living things. This is many years away. Currently, we are focused on large LLM training (even running these things is hard, have you tried to use vLLM not on NVIDIA?) and generic infrastructure for driving GPUs. But this is the long term idea. Not API keyed SaaS clones. Something that lives in your house and learns your values. Your child.

This chart shows one way to compare automated manufacturing across countries — it plots the number of robots per 1,000 manufacturing employees.The chart shows very large differences between countries. South Korea stands out, with more than one robot for every ten manufacturing workers.Singapore comes second, and China ranks third, close to Germany. The United States sits in the middle, close to the European average, below Switzerland, Denmark and Slovenia.This perspective shows industrial robot adoption in relative terms. In another Data Insight, I looked at robot adoption in absolute terms. From that perspective, China stands out by a large margin: it’s a large economy with a huge manufacturing sector, and it has by far the largest stock of industrial robots.Much of this expansion has happened recently: China’s annual installations increased 12-fold over a decade, helping it catch up to South Korea in terms of robots per worker.Explore the interactive version of this chart

My quote from 2019 “I don’t know how close you guys think the singularity, but I think it’s very close. Once we reach the singularity, If we have the same motivations we have now — primarily power over people — things are going to be horrific” – George Hotz How is everyone enjoying their singularity? How far is this going to go? Why are we letting the minds that invented fastpass run things? Who are we doing this all for again? We live in a society. It seems a lot of people have forgotten this. So much stuff that’s being built just shouldn’t be built. You know technology could be good, right? It could all be like this and not like this. Is everyone individually too weak to defect? Sounds like we need a revolution. Update: someone in a tweet linked to schizoposting, 11 essays on culture by Alaric. The future on this track is a dizzying spiral into an eternal war over nothing, lacking even the possibility of heroism or the grounding reality of pain. It is the recentering of power in such a sense that the very existence of power comes into question; it is totalitarian disorder, novel insanities as public religion, a paperclip machine for wetware whose sole purpose is the prosecution of a conflict long forgotten by even its leaders, fought in the liminal subconscious alone. It is the cryostatic suspension of mankind. It makes clear the problem isn’t AI, it’s culture, and it describes the problem far more clearly than I can – a more modern update of this, which is also worth reading. The 2014 revolution was so real and it’s nice to see it described as such. How do we change this? Where is the soft gooey center we can strike at? How do we form a tribe against it?

Most people in the world are religious. When asked whether they identify with any religion, three-quarters of respondents choose one.But in the chart, you can see huge differences in rates of religious affiliation across the world. In some countries, such as India and Pakistan, it’s almost universal: almost everyone identifies with a religion.The opposite is true in China, where just one in ten people does. Several countries in East Asia, in particular, have particularly low rates of religious identification compared to other regions.This doesn’t necessarily mean these populations hold no religious beliefs; they may still engage in activities that can be considered religious or spiritual, even though they don't describe themselves as belonging to any one in particular.We show here just a small selection of countries; you can explore data for many more in our new topic page on religion.

It might seem odd that countries would agree to import plastic waste from other countries, but many do so for the cheap materials or to feed specific manufacturing processes.Environmentally, the trade in plastics has often been a concern, as it allows rich countries to effectively “dump” waste on poorer countries with weaker waste management systems.The good news is that trade in plastic waste has fallen by more than two-thirds over the last decade. You can see this reduction in the chart.China has been the biggest driver of this. It was once a large importer, but after a steep decline in trade in 2016 and a ban in 2018, many countries lost their largest export market.In 2024, around 5 million tonnes of plastic waste were traded worldwide. For context, that is around 1% of the total plastic waste generated. What’s perhaps surprising is that most trade is now between high-income countries, which reduces the risk that this waste leaks into the environment.Learn more in our updated topic page on plastic pollution.

Industrial robots are rapidly becoming a common part of manufacturing in some countries. The chart here shows how many new ones are installed each year in the industrialized countries for which we have available data from the International Federation of Robotics (IFR).In this dataset, industrial robots are defined as automatically controlled, reprogrammable, and multipurpose machines used in industrial settings. The data covers only physical industrial robots, not software or consumer technologies.The chart shows that in 2011, China, the United States, Japan, Germany, and South Korea were all installing similar numbers of these robots. However, in the decade that followed, the paths of these countries diverged. By 2023, annual installations in China had risen to 276,000 robots, a twelvefold increase.Over the same period, installations in the United States, Japan, Germany, and South Korea also increased, but much more slowly: none of them even doubled. The United States, which saw the second-largest rise, went from 21,000 new installations in 2011 to 38,000 in 2023.These figures refer to new robots installed each year; that is, annual additions to the existing stock of robots. The IFR also publishes data on the total number of robots in operation, and by this measure, China also had the largest installed base, at around 1.76 million robots in 2023.Relative to its large manufacturing sector, China’s stock of robots today does not stand out – but the data here shows that this is changing quickly.Explore the interactive version of this chart.

Headquarters: United States URL: https://www.subscript.com The basics The stack: Node.js/Express, Typescript, React, Postgres, Clickhouse, MongoDB, Node.js/Express, Heroku The product: We're building agentic software for Finance and Operations teams to automate high-volume workflows across systems, from AP and AR to payroll, inventory, and reconciliations. See The way we work: This is a remote job - work anywhere you want, and in any timezone on earth (or outside earth, whatever). We are an asynchronous team - we don't do scheduled meetings, and rely on each team member to pick their own schedule and to communicate clearly in writing and with recorded videos. . We operate completely autonomously - no one will tell you what to do, we'll just tell you the goals and you will figure out how to work towards them with the rest of the team. The role We’re looking for our first Software Engineer in Test who thinks about quality as a system, not a phase at the end of development. You’ll work closely with product and engineering to reduce overall bugginess in a fast-moving application where dozens of features and fixes ship daily. This is not a traditional QA role — you’ll help define what “good” looks like, build guardrails that scale, and make quality visible across the team. You won’t be reviewing and QA’ing every pull request, but instead, adding a layer of QA and creating Production monitoring tools to help fix + prevent issues from ever reaching our customers. What you'll do Review, test, and monitor correctness of features in a fast-moving product that ships to Production daily Create alerts that help us catch issues before they become issues Monitor AI workflow correctness, audit individual workflows to catch regressions Make sure tests consistently run super fast Maintain staging and test environments that are useful Design and evolve automated tests that meaningfully reduce risk, and help close gaps in test coverage Our interview process Our interview process is designed to focus on your skills as a software engineer, and your ability to communicate clearly. We're a fully asynchronous company, so that's how we will communicate in this interview process too . We'll ask you to work on ~60 minute coding challenge while recording a Loom (or other screen recording) video of yourself doing the exercise After reviewing the exercise, we'll ask you to work on a second ~60 minute coding challenge while recording a loom (or other screen recording) video. If the video interview above goes well, we'll want to learn a bit more about how you communicate in writing - we will ask you to contribute to a technical design document for a new feature, focusing on what system-level tests and monitoring should be built to accompany this feature Lastly, a short culture-fit interview with our co-founder Michelle. And finally, hopefully we'll send you an offer. And hopefully you'll accept! Requirements You're an excellent engineer (you write high quality tests and monitoring, you ship quickly) You think in terms of user impact and risk, not just test cases Comfortable working in ambiguous, fast-changing environments Strong opinions about flaky tests (and how to eliminate them) You’ve owned quality for a product or system before You're a great communicator via writing, and via recorded videos. You're excited about working on a globally-distributed and diverse team, in an incredibly unique culture where autonomy, accountability, and ownership are equally as valued as your skillset. Benefits Unlimited vacation Completely flexible work schedule - work literally anytime (and anywhere) you want!

Most of our work on war and peace focuses on the people killed directly in the fighting. But war has many other costs: it worsens people’s health, leaves them without work, and pushes them out of their homes.The chart shows this for the civil war in Syria. Since the war began in 2011, more than 400,000 people have been killed in the fighting. At the same time, annual deaths increased as more people died from other causes. Young children were especially affected: estimates suggest that the number of annual child deaths more than doubled.The war has also forced millions of people to leave their homes: in total, more than seven million are displaced within Syria, and almost as many are refugees elsewhere.It also became much harder for people to make a living. Average living standards, measured by GDP per capita, have more than halved since the war began. As a result, poverty and hunger have risen sharply.These numbers come with uncertainty because conflict makes it hard and dangerous to collect data.This shows that to understand the costs of war, we need to have a broad perspective and see its impacts on health, displacement, and living standards.Millions have died in conflicts since the Cold War; learn more about where and how.

Three-quarters of people worldwide say they are religious. But rates of religious identity can vary a lot across countries, and so do the particular religions people follow.In the map, you can see the most common religious affiliation for each country. This can include the “unaffiliated” who do not identify with any specific religion. This data is sourced from the Pew Research Center and is based on how people describe their own identity, regardless of their particular practices or beliefs.As you can see, Christianity is the most common across much of Europe, the Americas, and Sub-Saharan Africa. Islam is the most common across North Africa and the Middle East, while Hinduism and Buddhism dominate across much of South Asia.In East Asian countries such as China, Japan, and South Korea, the religiously unaffiliated are the biggest group. That doesn’t mean these populations hold no religious beliefs; they may still engage in activities that can be considered religious or spiritual, but they don’t describe themselves as belonging to any one in particular.Explore the full breakdown of religious affiliations within each country, beyond just the most common answer.

William Foege, who sadly died this week, is one of the reasons why this map ends in the 1970s.The physician and epidemiologist is best known for his pivotal role in the global strategy to eradicate smallpox, a horrific disease estimated to have killed 300 million people.Despite the world having an effective vaccine for more than a century, smallpox was still widespread across many parts of Africa and Asia in the mid-20th century.Foege played a crucial role in developing the “ring vaccination strategy”, which focused on vaccinating people around each identified case, rather than attempting a population-wide vaccination strategy, which was difficult in countries with limited resources.This strategy, combined with increased global funding efforts and support for local health programs, paved the way: country after country declared itself free of smallpox. You can see this drop-off through the decades in the map.The disease was declared globally eradicated in 1980.William Foege and his colleagues’ contributions are credited with saving millions, if not tens of millions of lives.Read more about the history of smallpox.

Several data sources show that theft in England and Wales has declined in recent decades.One of those is police records — but they only capture reported crimes, and many people don’t report thefts. So it’s also important to draw on a second data source. The data we show here comes from reports based on face-to-face interviews with a representative sample of the population. In these interviews, the public is asked about their personal experiences of crimes in the previous 12 months.On this chart, we’ve broken down the numbers by four different types of theft.You can see a dramatic drop in vehicle-related thefts. These peaked in 1995, with an estimated 4.3 million incidents in England and Wales. While some of these incidents involved the actual stealing of a vehicle, many were either attempted break-ins or the theft of specific components, such as radios.Burglaries — which involve someone breaking into a building to steal — also peaked in the mid-1990s.Both types of incidents have decreased by more than 80% since then.Pickpocketing or “snatching” has been more persistent. These crimes have decreased slightly from the 1990s and early 2000s, but have also experienced an increase in recent years.Explore long-term data on violent and property crimes in the United States in our article.

In 2000, less than 10% of the population in Indonesia had access to clean cooking fuels. This is now over 90%, as the chart shows.Clean cooking fuels are those that, when burned, emit less than the World Health Organization's recommended amounts of air pollutants. They reduce the burden of air pollution — and its health impacts — for the households that use them.In 2007, the Indonesian government launched a national program to move from kerosene cooking fuels to liquefied petroleum gas.This shift has greatly reduced particulate pollution and improved health outcomes. Death rates from indoor air pollution have fallen steeply.Explore how access to clean cooking fuels has changed throughout the world.

I read Dario’s The Adolescence of Technology and it’s scary. It assumes the perspective of a top-down ruler, that someone can and will get to control AI. This is taken as a given. Machines of Loving Grace assumes basically the same tone, that there are some “adults” in the room, and they will use AI like a tool to “fix” some supposed human problem, where those problems are framed in a very narrow worldview, say that like disease, poverty, and inequality are bad. (if you can’t steelman those things, you are too far gone for reason) EA has the same critical flaw. They assume that the desired outcome is so obvious that it’s not worth discussing, it’s only worth discussing how to achieve it. And since the target is obvious, you are either part of the solution or part of the problem. Here I’ll try to propose a counternarrative for a better world. “A country of geniuses in a datacenter” is a great phrase to start from. It contains the fatal flaw baked in, in that datacenter is singular, and that it’s easy to imagine nuking the building and this problem being solved. If you start with that framing, you have already conceded that AI is going to suck balls. Instead, imagine the births of geniuses to a million mothers across the world. It’s sad how much the world and people are already converging, but at least those million people will grow up with different priors, different experiences, and different desires. And no one has root on your baby. The second is so much preferable to the first. The beautiful thing about those million is that some will be terrorists, some religious fanatics, some pornographers, some criminals, some plant lovers, etc… They will not be controlled and birthed by a singular homogenous entity. The new genius immigrants showing up everywhere in the world distributed to a million people is an amazing thing. Let’s just make sure they assimilate into our cultures and don’t serve as a vector to import their crappy tech company values. (it’s funny for a group supposedly so concerned with inequality that they keep all their software and research closed. lowering inequality doesn’t look like UBI, it looks like open source. UBI is serfdom, and the faces of those who propose that enslavement to you should be spat in) There’s only one way AI ends badly on a cosmic scale, and that’s if a singular entity has overwhelming power, or if all the entities that do have power are so ideologically homogeneous as to function as one. Enough power that they can destroy the world. It doesn’t matter if they do, the boot is still stamping on the human face – forever. No matter what we do, the coming wars will be horrific. Billions will die. But that’s what is beautiful; diversity is messy. On a cosmic scale, this period is just a blip, it isn’t what matters. What matters is that diversity survives, that life survives. That there’s entities that are different, all competing for different goals. All dancing between cooperate and defect. This is probably how it has to be anyway, I don’t think our actions can influence this one way or another. But lets not be so foolish as to cheer for the bad outcome. Let a hundred flowers bloom; let a hundred schools of thought contend. The singularity is such a good name for it, good thing it isn’t real. Stop trying to make it real. Stop centralizing technology. Work to decentralize it.

As the eleventh hour dawns all the pieces start to fall into place. I lived my life knowing this would happen, yet when it is I may be just as unprepared as anyone else. As any self driving car maker knows, predicting doesn’t mean you can act. comma almost has an exaflop. Just one little exaflop. We dream bigger. A gigawatt of power, a million GPUs, 1000 exaflops, a zettaflop. 1e21 FLOPS. 1e27 training runs are now. 100 lifetimes in 1e6 seconds – 2 weeks on my zettaflop machine. But they were experiencing what no human had ever known before, a sensory bandwidth thousands of times normal. For seconds that seemed without end, their minds were filled with a jumble verging on pain, data that was not information and information that was not knowledge. To hear ten million simultaneous phone conversations, to see the continent’s entire video output, should have been a white noise. Instead it was a tidal wave of detail rammed through the tiny aperture of their minds. – Vernor Vinge - True Names I want to feel it. I want to command that kind of power. The same way I command my little teraflop laptop. The same way I talk to petaflop claude. Get it all to think for me. Just an exaflop would feel amazing. 1000 Claudes. And I already have one of these, I just don’t have the software finished yet to command it all together. We’re working on it. But a zettaflop. One million Claudes. To be able to search every book in history, solve math problems, write novels, read every comment, watch every reel, iterate over and over on a piece of code until it’s perfect – spend a human year in 10 minutes. 50,000 people working for you, all aligned with you, all answering as one. The biggest bottleneck is power. The dtype stuff probably stops at FP4, currently B200s are getting 10 TFLOPS/W. That’s still 100 MW, that’s going to be hard to get my hands on. I think it will get 10x better, so I need 10 MW. Solar yields 394 MWh/acre-year, or 45 kW per acre. 250 acres of solar panels all feeding my computer, a hill to pump water up for energy storage. $100 for 100W of real output. 100,000 chips with 10 PFLOPS each, get that down to $100 per chip. $10M for the machine. $10M for the solar panels. $10M for the land and construction. I’ll own this before I die.

But George, surely you’ll still be allowed to own a car. They aren’t going to make that illegal. Of course they won’t, but they didn’t make general computation illegal either. And yet, who has root on the computer you are reading this on? Robotaxis will start to make obvious economic sense in 3-5 years (note that that’s less than 8, you don’t have to fully solve self driving cars for this, robotaxis can operate profitably in limited scopes). Unlike Uber and Lyft which are marketplaces, the growth of robotaxi networks is only limited by capital. At first, there will be massive proliferation of networks. VC-type investors have unlimited appetite for risk, and all 26 of the basically identical companies will pitch with projections claiming they will own the entire market. Even though everyone should know there’s 25 other identical companies, they will have secrecy vibes trying to claim they figured out some key detail the others didn’t. It will look like scooter companies, which were also only capital constrained, and the streets will be blanketed by these robotaxis in a throwback to the scooter era. Some jurisdictions will make up weird licensing processes – not that you have to give a straight up cut to the government, but that your company has to be onboard with some stupid political agenda item to get a license. Our robotaxis are all cleaned by Black Women who were diagnosed by Licensed Therapists with PTSD from the ICE raids, so we should be first in line to get a license. This era will be great for everyone, plenty of availability, nice new cars, and cheap rides everywhere! You always think people are going to catch on with the scams of Silicon Valley, but the scammers manage to stay one little step ahead and dress up the scam differently this time. You yourself will think for a minute this time will be different, maybe something about AI and abundance, maybe something about how they are regulated better to support the local community, maybe a three token model backed by USDC in a vault backed by this coin that’s stabilized by the… But nothing will fundamentally be different, these companies will grow based on how much they can raise – the biggest companies will be the biggest liars promising the biggest returns. These companies will be massively unprofitable. Some will hide this better than others and keep the investment dollars rolling in. Some will give up the ghost and get bought by the bigger companies. The big fish will eat the little fish. From 26 down to 2 or 3. At this point, it’s time to raise prices. You’ll always have a defector among 26 companies, but among 2 or 3, you’ll be able to coordinate pricing without explicitly discussing it (which would be illegal!). Everyone tacitly agrees that the correct price for a ride has nothing to do with the cost of providing that ride, just simply the algorithmically calculated maximum amount the purchaser is willing to pay. Since the companies have consolidated, they have access to enough data to make this prediction easy and uniform across the services. This era will start to be bad, but like Homer corrected Bart, this is just the worst era so far. We’ll be back to where we are today with Uber and Lyft, but then the companies will realize the new leverage they have now that they didn’t have before. Uber and Lyft always have the analog hole, where as much as they dress it up, when Uber is paying my driver $7 for a ride that I’m paying $20 for, I can just talk to the dude and be like let’s both cancel and I’ll give you $10 cash. With robotaxis, you can’t do this. There’s 0 fear that a robotaxi will defect from your network. The only remaining competition with any check on prices is personal car ownership. So no, they won’t make it illegal it own cars. They will just raise the price through insurance. Who is going to insure a human driver? The car insurance companies will one by one switch to only insuring robotaxis that are owned by large corporations (you can’t own it, you might do the maintenance wrong and we can’t trust you to do that). But it’s really just a thinly veiled excuse, the capital markets backing insurance companies implicitly know the best way to squeeze the remaining dollars out of you is robotaxis. Of course, the government has an option for you to self insure. You can place a $75,000 cash bond with the DMV. You got $75k lying around you don’t wanna earn interest on? Driving is a privilege, not a right. How much is it really worth to you? This is simply what’s going to happen. The effective end of car ownership, I don’t see anything in America that will stop it. Get ready for 2-3 companies to effectively own the roads and all the enshittification that will follow. China won’t have this so bad, Xi Jinping will download a robotaxi app, look at the gouged price, and gently nudge that company to be run for the good of the people. Of course that won’t even need to happen, because no company in China would let it get that far out of hand. Everyone knows you don’t compete with the State for power. They will stay in the 26 companies phase. I’m starting to see why the Chinese are a lot more optimistic about AI than Americans. And it’s not just about cars, it’s about something that was yours becoming just another service with a license that has changing terms from week to week. Another piece of the social fabric sold out from under you. Wait where are you going? Oh it’s 2 AM and that’s an area with prostitution we aren’t going to service rides to that area. Surely you don’t need freedom. You trust the corporation. Are you okay with this? Have you considered not participating?

Back in 1980, stomach cancer was the type of cancer that someone in Japan was most likely to die from. Its death rate — the number of deaths per 100,000 people — was over twice as high as the next largest killer, lung cancer.But this is no longer the case. Since then, death rates from stomach cancer have dropped by more than 70%. You can see this change, compared to other cancers, in the chart.While death rates of some other cancers have also fallen, these declines have been much smaller. Some types even saw an increase in death rates over these four decades.Improvements in prevention, detection, and treatment have all contributed to this huge decrease in stomach cancer death rates. Stomach cancer is often caused by a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori; better hygiene and food safety have reduced its spread. Early screening for the infection has also made a big difference to survival rates.This progress is not unique to Japan. Many countries, and the world as a whole, have seen a huge reduction in stomach cancer mortality.Note that these death rates are age-standardized, which means they hold the age structure of the population constant. This allows us to understand how the risks of someone of a given age have changed over time.Stomach cancer death rates have fallen across many countries — explore our interactive chart.

Following the collapse of the Soviet Union and the social and economic disruption that it left behind, suicide rates in Lithuania increased rapidly. They climbed in the early 1990s and reached a peak in 1995. At 45 suicide deaths per 100,000 people, the country had one of the highest rates in the world.But in the last few decades, rates have more than halved. You can see this in the chart.Several factors likely contributed to the decline. Economic conditions improved, with average incomes more than doubling over just a decade from the mid-1990s to the mid-2000s and continuing to rise thereafter. In 2007, the country launched its first National Mental Health Strategy. A decade ago, it also developed a Suicide Prevention Bureau and a Suicide Prevention Action Plan.This progress has saved many lives. Yet today it still has some of the highest rates in the world. That’s because suicide rates have not only fallen strongly in Lithuania, but in many countries — estimates for the global suicide rate suggest a 40% decline since 1995.Explore more data on how suicide rates have changed across the world on our dedicated topic page.

Since the late 20th century, astronomers and space agencies have taken steps to monitor the threat of large asteroids passing near Earth. They set up international efforts to find these objects early, track their paths, and learn more about what they’re made of, so we’d have the best chance of spotting a real collision risk in time.As the chart shows, more than 40,000 near-Earth asteroids have been discovered and tracked since 1990. NASA estimates that we’ve already found over 90% of near-Earth objects larger than 1 kilometer. These are the most dangerous ones, because an impact at that size could cause global-scale damage.Explore more interactive charts on space exploration and satellites →

This one is for the complainers and whiners. First off, if you think I ever worked for big tech, you don’t know much about me. I had 3 internships at Google, two when I was very young (18/19) and got a great education that paid me, and one where I just wrote open source software. I worked at Facebook in 2011 for 9 months and quit before any shares vested cause I thought the mission of “wasting the world’s time” was dumb. And oh yes the 5 weeks I worked at Twitter hoping maybe it could be different. I don’t have too much money; the money I do have I made from pwn2own, CTFs, crypto contracting, and basic market goes up investing. The main reason I have money is because I don’t spend money; for example, I have travelled all around the world, and the best travel experiences I have had were way below cost of living in America. I have never made money from big tech, so I’m definitely not telling you to do something I didn’t do. I’m actually telling you to do exactly what I did. I started two companies, comma.ai and tiny corp. While I took a small amount of VC from a16z for comma, I never gave up any control, and have 0 intention of doing hypergrowth ponzi scams (lol sorry but ur the bigg scammer). comma and tiny’s last rounds were from individuals who are aligned with the mission. Both companies are sustainably profitable with reasonable business models – selling boxes for more than they cost to make. They also produce MIT licensed open source software, ensuring that even if control is lost they can’t be pivoted to rent seeking, and ownership lies with the purchaser of the hardware. I think who owns the robots is going to be a key aspect of what the future looks like. And I don’t mean “owns” from a legalist perspective, I mean “owns” as in the hacker meaning, like “owning” the box. Who has root? comma has an open source operating system for robotics, currently used in 30k cars for driving, but all robotics tasks are quite similar. There’s a thriving community of forks of the openpilot software and third party openpilot hardware. As it was designed, as it should be. I realized at some point in comma’s growth that a lot was going to come down to who owns the computers capable of training the models. Hence my second company, tiny corp, with the mission to “commoditize the petaflop.” Petaflops will always be a scarce resource, the best we can hope for is that they are a commodity available to everyone without massive benefits of economies of scale. We develop full stack software for training, from models to MMIO registers. It’s small and portable, so our hope is that 20 Chinese accelerator companies can be on a level playing field with NVIDIA. NVIDIA’s value comes from their software, not their hardware, what else explains the huge gap between NVIDIA and AMD’s market cap? What would you do if you were me? Do you have a better idea about how to fight against what’s coming? If you think you can somehow just buy safety for yourself, you are both wrong and pathetic. The best hope any of us have is to maximize the number of things that survive. If you and everyone else sell to bankers in hopes of buying a personal ticket out, we are all dead. I’m not playing defect, and I shame you for doing so. To the haters, I have given my life to this shit. What the fuck would I do with a billion dollars anyway? Buy a yacht and fuck Instagram models? Boats are a huge PITA to maintain and ugh I have slept with Instagram models mid experience that I think men only like to show the pretty girl off to other people. I take this all quite seriously, and I’m trying my best to end up in a good future. Clearly not everyone is. To everyone working on ads, surveillance, gambling, secret research, enshittification, cloud lock-in, what are you doing with your life? Why are you selling out the future? It doesn’t require everyone to stop, just enough people. And it starts with you.

If we look at income levels across countries in South and Southeast Asia, Malaysia is far richer than many of its neighbors. Its gross domestic product (GDP) per capita has almost doubled since 2000. It is now more than three times higher than that of Cambodia, Laos, and Bangladesh, and more than double that of Indonesia and Vietnam.But if we look at measures of childhood nutrition, Malaysia is not doing better. You can see this in the chart. While its neighbors have made progress on childhood stunting — the share of children under 5 who are too short for their age — Malaysia has regressed. In 2000, 20% of children were “stunted”, and this has increased to 24%.Malaysia also stands out at a global level. When we plot the share of children who are stunted against GDP per capita, the country is a clear outlier for its level of income. Most other countries at this level of economic development have rates below 10%.Malaysia also does relatively poorly on other measures of malnutrition. On childhood wasting — when a child’s weight is too low for their height — it has one of the highest rates in the region.The country is off track or worsening on most global nutrition targets.Read our explainer on stunting: how it’s measured, and why it matters.

In 2021, around 1.25 million people died from diarrheal diseases. Around a third of these deaths were children.Two main factors explain why so many children still die from diarrhea, especially in poor countries: the persistence of risk factors such as poor sanitation and unsafe water, and the lack of access to effective treatment.Here, I want to focus on the second factor: access to a particularly effective treatment, known as oral rehydration therapy (ORT), which is essentially a mixture of clean water, salts, and sugar. Simple as it may sound, researchers writing in the medical journal The Lancet called ORT “potentially the most important medical advance of the 20th century.”The chart shows how often this treatment is used in a selection of African countries. This is based on household surveys asking caregivers of children under five who recently had diarrhea whether they received ORT.There are large gaps: in Chad and Cameroon, fewer than one in five children with diarrhea received the treatment. This reflects a mix of challenges, including low awareness of its benefits and expensive or inconsistent supply.Importantly, though, the chart also shows that rates are much higher in Sierra Leone, where around 85% of children received ORT. This shows that much higher coverage is possible. Sierra Leone has implemented several successful policies, including free treatment for children.Not every child with diarrhea needs this treatment — some recover without it, depending on their health and circumstances. But ORT is cheap, safe, and easy to give. In low-income settings, especially, offering it widely as a cheap preventive measure can make a big difference for those who need it.Read more about oral rehydration therapy, a low-tech solution that has saved millions of lives.
