🗣 Demis Hassabis thinks his dog is conscious. Today's AI, he says, is not
The Google DeepMind co-founder says today's AI is very smart, yet he doesn't feel it is "at all conscious yet". His dog is the reverse:
"My pet dog — he's lovely, and he's pretty conscious, I think. He dreams and everything, but he's not that smart."
So intelligence and consciousness can exist apart, he told Reid Hoffman at the Masters of Scale Summit in October. He wants labs to build intelligent tools, not conscious beings. An AI with a will of its own could refuse when people tell it to stop or switch itself off, h

Apple is sending email surveys to some iPhone Duo buyers to get feedback on display size, crease, under-display camera, and other features. The first question asks why the buyer chose the iPhone Duo now, with answers like "I wanted to try Apple's first foldable," "It was an impulse purchase," and "I expect smartphone prices to increase". https://www.macrumors.com/...
It won't win the specs race, but it will actually fit in your hand. https://arstechnica.com/ga...

🗣 Mark Cuban: "There will be the trillionaire in the basement"
On an a16z podcast, Cuban says big companies struggle with AI until their bosses understand how it works. That leaves an opening: "There's no better time to be an entrepreneur than right now."
He thinks AI still needs a person guiding it: "AI is not smart. It's book smart maybe, but it's not street smart. It's not entrepreneur smart."
His demo for the head of a consumer food company: take their number one product, a cookie, and ask ChatGPT to create a competitor. "And in about three minutes he was like, 'Oh, s**t.'"

AI progress is getting weird
Opus 5.5 has arrived, reportedly more than 5× cheaper and better than Fable. GPT-6 Sol is also here, at roughly half the price of GPT-5.6.
Both models are significantly better than their predecessors, and this entire cycle happened in less than two months.
This is probably what the next few years will look like: not one dramatic moment where the world suddenly changes, but a constant stream of models getting cheaper, smarter and more capable.
OpenAI says it plans to work with top mathematicians and universities to systematically release more proofs and solution
