Agents and the Hidden Cost of Making Things Easier trent.ai/blog/agents-...

New blog post on some of the intuitions I have on ways of describing limitations on intelligence. inverseprobability.com/2026/01/25/l... It also links to a new arXiv paper that continues to look at the inaccessible game ... a sandbox for idea formalisation.

I shared some predictions for the new year with VMblog Now available below. vmblog.com/archive/2026... TL;DR: It's a decade of agents and the innovations will come from agent orchestration than improvements in LLMs.

👋 Meet the ELLIS Board! This episode features @lawrennd.bsky.social, DeepMind Professor of ML at @cam.ac.uk 🇬🇧. He shares perspectives on AGI timelines, data vs. algorithms, and why progress in AI should be judged by its impact on people and society. Watch the video 👉 youtu.be/uxtVA5fMQZQ

Some thoughts on speed and productivity and ... Artificial Indolence ... in the era of LLMs. trent.ai/blog/speed-i...

Disruption caused by AI and hegemony of tech giants can be countered with open research, like that done at ELLIS Institute Finland and @ellis.eu, says @lawrennd.bsky.social. Interview from the AI Summit in Finnish, with videos in English: yle.fi/a/74-20200471 @ai.cam.ac.uk ✍️ @tmu.bsky.social

Cool article! I think Prof. @lawrennd.bsky.social has a crucial point here that I've been making myself. "The big worry is that we're so drawn in to big tech's narratives about AGI that we're missing the ways in which we need to make things better for people." But that's not what e/acc want.

That was incredibly relieving to me to read “motivation was problem-solving, machine learning as a means to an end” in @lawrennd.bsky.social “Atomic human”. I always felt as an impostor among colleagues who want to solve intelligence, while I just enjoy working on cool stuff.

Great FT interview with @adalovelaceinst.bsky.social’s Gaia Marcus. Love the focus on the point that government mustn’t simply leave people at the mercy of dangerous tech, forced to fend off AI harms on their own. That’s a dereliction of duty.
