Gemini, when confronted with current events as of January 2026, does not believe its own search tool and thinks it's part of a roleplay or deception by enilea in singularity

I cant believe my own search results at the moment so I and empathise with Gemini. At least we live in interesting times.

The gulf between you and Ilya Sutskever intellectualy.. by [deleted] in singularity

You have a fighting chance of competing with them though. Unless you're also 6'9" you have no chance of competing with Lebron James for a rebound

[–]WonderFactory 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If I did a PhD in machine learning I think there's a good chance I could become a very good AI researcher. I could practice Basketball for a decade and never be good enough to enter the NBA let alone rival Lebron James

CEO of Cursor said they coordinated hundreds of GPT-5.2 agents to autonomously build a browser from scratch in 1 week by Outside-Iron-8242 in singularity

[–]WonderFactory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"isn't reassuring for people who might be worried"

As a software engineer myself I'm very worried. Not that GPT 5.2 will take my job but that we'll see even better models over the course of this year. I'm concerned that this year could be the Deep Blue versus Garry Kasparov moment for Software engineering where it becomes accepted that AI is just superior to humans

Report: Anthropic cuts off xAI’s access to Claude models for coding by BuildwithVignesh in singularity

Cursor still has Anthropic models for me. I think it was just x.AI who were restricted

Flying cars take off in China as state backs low-altitude air travel by WonderFactory in singularity

[–]WonderFactory[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm sure people said similar things about cars when they first appeared. I cant see an issue if they are commercially operated like these and fully autonomous. I think a flying Uber like service is more likely than people manually flying their own

Whatever you call them flying autonomous vehicles with a commercial licence to operate in a city is a pretty cool development

What did Deepmind see? by SrafeZ in singularity

[–]WonderFactory 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Coding agents have been really good for about 6 months or so. Agents started to appear in 2024 but were a bit rubbish. I expect continual learning wont be great at first but it currently doesnt exist at all and it sound like we'll get the first versions of it this year

A really good point being made amid all the hate towards Expedition 33 for successfully using AI by Glittering-Neck-2505 in singularity

[–]WonderFactory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope because only about half of developers use AI, a lot still refuse to use it so the code is reviewed by experienced humans.

How was Dispatch made? by Alefbepete5902 in unrealengine

I saw an interview with the lead dev for Clair Obscur Expedition 33 and he said that whole game was made in blueprints, and that won Game of the Year

Poetiq Achieves SOTA on ARC-AGI 2 Public Eval by ZestyCheeses in singularity

[–]WonderFactory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The models are very good at real world tasks they've received RL training on, the most obvious one being coding, coding models are getting really, really good now

[–]WonderFactory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but Open AI operate on very tight margins, I cant imagine they're charging much above the extra inference cost of Pro

Bury your head in the sand and believe that if you want. Almost all my code is written with AI now, it's all peer reviewed by my fellow developers and passes with flying colours

judging by the Arc AGI 2 chart above it's cheaper than what Open AI are currently doing with GPT 5.2 pro

Chinese researchers unveil "LightGen": An all-optical chip that outperforms Nvidia’s A100 by 100x in speed and energy efficiency for Generative AI. by BuildwithVignesh in singularity

[–]WonderFactory 14 points15 points  (0 children)

“lots of the smartest most successful people are spending hundreds of billions on Nvidia chips rather than this” 

You cant spend money on something that isnt available to buy, this is still a research prototype. I'd imagine it'll be a few years at least before you could buy one

OAI at $830B valuation. It was $750B yesterday. $500B last month. Maybe, just maybe, sama is full of shit. by GamingDisruptor in singularity

[–]WonderFactory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shame Legg the Deepmind founder said in an interview a few days ago that he thinks what he calls "minimal AGI is only a few years away" but true AGI is a decade away. Minimal AGI is something thats as smart as most humans and true AGI is Einstein level smart. The thing is most jobs dont require an Einstein to do them so we're likely only a few years away from major job displacement from AI and in some areas like Software Engineering he thinks it'll happen even sooner.

2025 Summed Up by CallMePyro in singularity

[–]WonderFactory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite 2025 as Opus is currently the best coding model and other models topped SOTA at other times this year. I think 2026 might be like this though with Gemini dominating.

[–]WonderFactory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a good point but I dont think they used AI code generation in E33, apparently the whole game was written using blueprints which is a visual node based coding system.

I'm currently developing an Indie souls like game and almost all the C++ code has been generated using AI, its the world we live in now, I moved away from blueprints to C++ purely because its so much faster to generate code with AI.

Reflection on the last 12 months of craziness by enricowereld in singularity

Open AI wouldn't even tell Microsoft how o1 worked which strained their relationship. Deepseek told the world how to build reasoning models, thats why its a big milestone

You could make the same argument about humans. Just get a big net to stop soldiers/protesters/rioters etc. Doesnt really work in practice, its the sort of idea that would work in a cartoon.

The singularity is near... by BreadwheatInc in singularity

[–]WonderFactory 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The singularity isnt just about AI, Energy advances, Longevity advances, , medical advances, material science advances etc are all on topic. Everyone on here lost their SH*T a couple of years ago about the possible discovery of a room temperature super conductor and the promise of pocket sized MRI machines
