anderssandberg · x · 2026-10-28
Philosopher and AI researcher Anders Sandberg recapped a "rather wild 48 hours": the formalization of the classification of finite simple groups, new results on Kakeya, EXP and QCD, a pre-boot RCE vulnerability, and a wild internal AI incident at a big company.
His takeaway: this is likely the calmest things will be for a long time.
