Page: Feed: --- ## [July Musings](https://markkim.bearblog.dev/july-musings/) _2026-07-31 · markkim · 🌲 Mark Kim_ Quick, raw thoughts (but in a slightly different format this month) It's the last day of July, and I've been contemplating what to write. Most of my July was spent dabbling in GPU financializing and a deep dive into data, the continued saturation of benchmarks, the appreciation for the sheer human efforts that go into improving a model by 100 basis points, and theories like Kolmogorov Complexity.… ## [June Musings](https://markkim.bearblog.dev/june-musings/) _2026-07-01 · markkim · 🌲 Mark Kim_ Quick, raw thoughts SpaceXAI. Elon has two classic playbooks: combining synergistic companies and driving down the cost of his products. He has executed the first with the creation of SpaceXAI, and I believe the second is in progress. In the case of Tesla, the acquisition of SolarCity rounded out his battery empire into a vertically integrated renewable energy company. The Roadster, his first… ## [May Musings](https://markkim.bearblog.dev/may-musings/) _2026-05-22 · markkim · 🌲 Mark Kim_ Quick, raw thoughts Simulation is taking off. More and more companies are coming out of stealth or being started. Ansatz Labs is one, Sooth came out of stealth, Prior Computers just raised. Demis Hassabis said this is an area he is excited about as the next frontier in AI. This is not an easy area to go after, however. What are the variables and equations you must set? How do you set the… ## [The Simulation Layer](https://markkim.bearblog.dev/the-simulation-layer/) _2026-05-21 · markkim · 🌲 Mark Kim_ ## [April Musings](https://markkim.bearblog.dev/april-musings/) _2026-05-09 · markkim · 🌲 Mark Kim_ Quick, raw thoughts Appetite. There's more appetite than ever for people to get in on the AI trade. Public stocks are ripping. The big hindrance to stocks, mostly the wars in Iran and Israel, has taken a back seat. Instead, people are feeling the FOMO. Even large asset managers have started reaching out asking for private investment opportunities. No view. They surprisingly don't have as concrete… ## [AI for Bio has a Fuzzy API problem](https://ankitg.me/blog/2026/05/04/fuzzy_api.html) _2026-05-04 · Ankit Gupta_ “AI for bio” is getting hot again. Given the excitement in the current moment, I thought I’d share a bit about what actually makes biology uniquely hard as an application domain for machine learning. The reason is not simply that biology is complicated, though it obviously is. ML is good at many things that are complicated. The deeper reason is that drug discovery does not have the kind of clean… ## [The Hyper Information Age](https://markkim.bearblog.dev/hyper-information/) _2026-04-23 · markkim · 🌲 Mark Kim_ From Friedrich Hayek's 1945 work "The Use of Knowledge in Society": If we possess all the relevant information, if we can start out from a given system of preferences, and if we command complete knowledge of available means, the problem which remains is purely one of logic. Hayek's argument echoes a broader trend in intellectual history. Across economics, physics, and philosophy, scholars… ## [The Economic Singularity: Discussion paper and questions](https://calumchace.com/the-economic-singularity-discussion-paper-and-questions/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-economic-singularity-discussion-paper-and-questions) _2026-04-20 · Calum Chace · (untitled)_ Introduction This paper explores the defining economic challenge of our time: the prospect of artificial intelligence rendering human labour uncompetitive. Our aim is to set out clearly the challenges posed by the Economic Singularity, and we invite thoughtful commentary, debate, and most importantly proposals for solutions. The paper combines analytical argument with storytelling. \[ \] The post… ## [Demis Hassabis: The Biological Bootloader](https://markkim.bearblog.dev/demis-hassabis-the-biological-bootloader/) _2026-03-31 · markkim · 🌲 Mark Kim_ Sebastian Mallaby's new book, The Infinity Machine , is finally out. I was fortunate to get an advance copy from him. Reading through the book, I felt the puzzle pieces in my mind click into place. It wasn't the puzzle that's been at the center of my mind, but an extension of one that was starting to coalesce in the background, thanks to my recent musings on superintelligence . Interestingly,… ## [Superintelligent Cellular Automata](https://markkim.bearblog.dev/superintelligent-cellular-automata/) _2026-03-10 · markkim · 🌲 Mark Kim_ What would have happened if China had embraced capitalism in 1949? With its vast coal reserves, which historically accounted for nearly 75% of its energy production in the mid-20th century, would market incentives have driven engineers toward a hyper-efficient, miniaturized steam engine? Could there be an entire branch of coal generators that never existed because history went a different way? We… ## [Make any domain metal (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/umI9Ut2QHgGL) _2026-03-10 · **Sponsored**_ Turn any domain into a blacked-out metal landing page with an email waitlist ## [Mathematical Superintelligence as a Path to Human Simulation](https://markkim.bearblog.dev/mathematical-superintelligence/) _2026-03-07 · markkim · 🌲 Mark Kim_ What's the point of solving math using AI? What do we gain from this besides the pleasure of pure academic pursuit? My guess is that it has implications for an entirely different abstraction level that spans a much broader area. Solving mathematical superintelligence will unlock the scaffoldings to support simulations of the human world 1 . Cellular automata, coined by John von Neumann, provide a… ## [01001000 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101111](https://markkim.bearblog.dev/00100000/) _2026-02-14 · markkim · 🌲 Mark Kim_ My prediction for 2030 is that models will be coding in a brand new language that they create for themselves. Today's programming languages are very much geared towards bridging the communication between humans and computers. It's done in a way that allows humans to express themselves (and understand expressions of others) in natural language. With AI taking over coding, we don't need this. At the… ## [The Road to Superintelligence](https://calumchace.com/the-road-to-superintelligence/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-road-to-superintelligence) _2025-11-14 · Calum Chace · (untitled)_ This article was first published in Forbes on 13 November 2025 About a decade ago, Geoff Hinton declared that human radiologists were like Wily E. Coyote in the Roadrunner show. They had run off the edge of a cliff, but hadn’t realised it yet. Their livelihoods were about to come crashing down.

Here is a worthwhile thought experiment: how many products do you use that you were one of the first 10 users of? I would bet that for nearly everyone that number is 0. Most people are not early adopters. There is nearly nothing any startup founder could say that could lead them to be their first customer, and especially not a paying customer. There are other… ## [The 75th Anniversary of the Turing Test](https://calumchace.com/the-75th-anniversary-of-the-turing-test/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-75th-anniversary-of-the-turing-test) _2025-10-09 · Calum Chace · (untitled)_ First published in Forbes on 8 October 2025 A test for consciousness, not intelligence This month is the 75th anniversary of the Turing Test, which Alan Turing introduced to the world in his paper, “Computing Machinery and Intelligence”, published in the October 1950 issue of the journal “Mind”.

In mathematics, the word “singularity” means a point when the normal rules stop working, and it was \[ \] The post The Economic Singularity and the Five As first appeared on . ## [Making a Default-alive Techbio Company](https://ankitg.me/blog/2025/08/27/making-a-default-alive-techbio-company.html) _2025-08-27 · Ankit Gupta_ Most biotech startups are default dead. In fact, most of them earn zero revenue throughout their entire existence, regardless of how many millions of dollars they raise. This is usually true even after they IPO – most are still many years from being able to sell their therapeutics on the market. For software companies, being default alive vs default dead has a simple definition as articulated by… ## [Publishers brace for a shock wave as search referrals slow](https://calumchace.com/publishers-brace-for-a-shock-wave-as-search-referrals-slow/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=publishers-brace-for-a-shock-wave-as-search-referrals-slow) _2025-08-05 · Calum Chace · (untitled)_ A rock has been thrown into the pond of digital publishing and it is making waves. Referrals from search engines are falling. For media organisations whose business models involve attracting eyeballs to sell advertising, this could be the beginning of an existential crisis. For organisations that depend heavily on organic search to bring in readers, \[ \] The post Publishers brace for a shock wave… ## [Some Thoughts on Medical Superintelligence](https://ankitg.me/blog/2025/07/01/medical-superintelligence.html) _2025-07-01 · Ankit Gupta_ Microsoft AI released a report this week about MAI-DxO , their research on an LLM orchestration system for medical diagnosis, and an accompanying blog titled The Path to Medical Superintelligence . To me, this is one of the most exciting application domains of AI. Here are some thoughts on Microsoft’s approach. These are a mix of my own opinions and reactions from some friends who are doctors.

Not just their product names or brand identities, but the category of relationship they represent. Friends Years ago, when I wrote “Surviving AI”, I suggested we call them Friends. That suggestion feels more relevant now than \[ \] The post What… ## [Save with community-voted codes (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/lZgOI3Teg4U3) _2025-04-30 · **Sponsored**_ Search thousands of community-verified coupon codes — 100% free, no account needed. ## [The year of conscious AI](https://calumchace.com/the-year-of-conscious-ai/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-year-of-conscious-ai) _2025-03-22 · Calum Chace · (untitled)_ For years, the idea of machine consciousness has belonged to the realm of philosophy and science fiction. But as AI systems become more sophisticated, the debate is shifting from speculation to a pressing scientific and ethical question. Could machines develop some form of consciousness?

It has been awe-inspiring and I’m writing this mostly because outside of the Silicon Valley tech bubble it seems as though no one in a position to prepare our society for this is remotely aware of what’s coming. Worse, the trusted arbiters of information in… ## [How unfair is the coin?](https://ankitg.me/blog/2025/01/06/unfair-coins.html) _2025-01-06 · Ankit Gupta_ I’m reviving my blog after some time away — it’s been an eventful 12 months. In February 2024, Reverie Labs, the startup I co-founded in 2017, was acquired by Ginkgo Bioworks. I’m now on leave from Ginkgo and I’ve joined Y Combinator as a Visiting Partner, giving me the chance to work with the next generation of companies. Especially in this new role, I’ve been thinking a bit about what worked,… ## [Machine consciousness: definitions, implications, risks](https://calumchace.com/machine-consciousness-definitions-implications-risks/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=machine-consciousness-definitions-implications-risks) _2024-12-09 · Calum Chace · (untitled)_ Calum discusses the implications of machine consciousness for a New York-based think tank. Defining Consciousness: How do we define consciousness, and what criteria would we use to determine if an AI system has achieved it? It is ironic how little we understand consciousness, since it is actually the only thing any of us know anything \[ \] The post Machine consciousness: definitions, implications,… ## [AI Will Convert Space Telecoms From Science Fiction To Reality](https://calumchace.com/ai-will-convert-space-telecoms-from-science-fiction-to-reality/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ai-will-convert-space-telecoms-from-science-fiction-to-reality) _2024-12-08 · Calum Chace · (untitled)_ We all know that artificial intelligence is transforming every industry. One industry which is nascent today, but will be critical to us all in the future, and which could hardly exist without AI, is space telecoms or Non-Terrestrial Networks, as participants prefer to call it.
