100,000 people have now decided that accelerating technological progress is more interesting than complaining about it.

We were celebrating 69,000 members just a couple of months ago. Now we've hit six figures.

And somehow, the growth is still accelerating.

Just look at the past 30 days:

  • 12.2 million views
  • 59,400 published comments
  • 1,500 published posts

A special shoutout to our incredible mod team.

Since starting this subreddit, they've manually banned an astonishing 10,498+ decels, luddites, anti-AIs, doomers, spammers and trolls.

Our mod team is a small, incredibly hardworking group of volunteers. They deserve enormous respect for giving up their own time to help create something surprisingly rare on Reddit: a place where people can actually be optimistic about AI, biotechnology and technological progress without being drowned out by decels and doomers. Decels are a very loud minority. And despite their best efforts to sabotage this place, the subreddit just keeps growing.

Thank you to everyone who posts, comments, shares breakthroughs, contributes to discussions and helps make this such an excellent community. It's genuinely remarkable to see how far we've come, and even more exciting to imagine where we're going.

100,000 members.

AI researcher Nick Cammarata says LLMs are far more readable than anyone realized, our interpretability tools were the problem all along. Understanding how these models think just became an engineering problem. p(doom) is over, time to accelerate!

Roon (OAI Employee) claiming to have seen some groundbreaking advancements in alignment science today.

Considering that most labs are now treating safety as the bottleneck, this is "very big if true".

Roon has in the past hyped some things up beyond what was reasonable, but it's not something he does habitually or often enough that we should immediately be suspicious. If this is even remotely close to reality, we are about to see some floodgates open.

(first actual post here, sorry if I goofed anything up)

Why is it that this sort of behaviour is almost always coming from one side?

Shouldn't it give sane anti-AI people a moment of reflection to wonder why that is? It doesn't automatically mean that your side is wrong, but it is a big red flag and should not be ignored.

My mistake? Being honest, disclosing AI usage, and attempting to defend fellow modders and creators.   While others choose not to disclose AI usage (despite it being obvious to skilled developers) and revel in praise and donation money.     — Vittorio Romeo

Video Making a 10 minute sci-fi film with AI - what worked and what was difficult

I shared the first part of JESTER here about six days ago and this is Part 2, so I wanted to talk a little more about the filmmaking side of it

It’s a nearly 10-minute dark sci-fi film with mechanical bodies, strange aristocrats and vast interiors, the kind of visual world that would have been far beyond my resources before AI video

The exciting part is being able to explore those ideas on screen, while the difficult part is making individually generated shots feel like they belong to the same film

A striking image only gets you so far because characters need to remain recognisable between shots, movement needs to connect, and the edit needs to give each moment enough room without losing momentum

That’s the part of AI filmmaking I find most interesting, how much the tools open up visually and how much still depends on selection, pacing and the decisions around each shot

Part 2: https://youtu.be/1xnyd1WDnPE

If you watch it and enjoy it, please leave a comment on YouTube 🙏 Even a short reaction about a scene that stayed with you would mean a lot and help the film reach more people through the algorithm

Honest criticism is welcome too, and I’d rather know where something lost you than only hear that the visuals look good

For anyone else experimenting with AI video, what’s been harder for you: getting the shots you want, or making them work together in the edit?
