Two AI science stories broke yesterday. OpenAI announced that an internal model “significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra” produced a proof that the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations (which describe how fluids move, from blood circulation to weather) can develop a singularity in finite time.

This is a working paper, not a finished theory. I am trying to understand when a population of bounded agents begins to function as something more like an organization. The OpenAI and Hugging Face incident gave me a concrete case to study. I would welcome criticism of the argument, challenges to the terminology, contrary evidence, relevant research I have missed, better experimental designs, and examples that weaken or strengthen the thesis.

Yesterday, OpenAI launched GPT-6 Astra, calling it “the world’s most intelligent and aligned model.” The rollout starts with a limited set of organizations and will expand over the coming days to all ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise users, as well as the OpenAI API, Microsoft Azure, and AWS Bedrock. At a media briefing, OpenAI president Greg Brockman closed by saying, “Welcome to the AGI era.” Continue Reading →
In this CNN International discussion, tech expert Shelly Palmer and Dr. Sarah Kreps, Director of the Cornell Brooks School Tech Policy Institute, join Becky Anderson to examine the growing backlash against the massive data centers powering the artificial intelligence boom. Continue Reading →
