BREAKING: OpenAI researchers just proved why ChatGPT, Claude, and every AI model will NEVER stop hallucinating.

Turns out, every time we 'improve' AI performance, we're making the lying worse.

Here's what they discovered:

(hint: we've been measuring hallucination all wrong) Image
OpenAI researchers asked DeepSeek-V3 a simple question: "What's Adam Kalai's birthday?"

The AI gave three different confident answers: "03-07", "15-06", and "01-01"

All wrong. Even when told to only answer if certain.

The result ↓ Image
They discovered hallucinations aren't a bug to fix.

They're mathematically inevitable.

The researchers proved: (error rate) ≥ 2 × (classification mistakes)

Translation: If AI can't perfectly tell truth from lies, it will definitely hallucinate. Image

Steven Bartlett just had the world's top AI safety researcher on his podcast.

He revealed shocking truths about about super intelligence & what's really happening behind the scenes.

99% of people still don't know about any of this…

Here are 8 of his most shocking insights: 🧵 Image
1. Mass Unemployment Arrives in Five Years:

Yampolskiy's stark timeline: "In 5 years, we're looking at unemployment levels we've never seen before. Not 10% but 99%."

The paradigm shift: "If ALL jobs will be automated, there is no plan B. You cannot retrain."
2. AI Represents the "Last Invention" Humanity Will Make:

Unlike previous technologies, AI creates inventors, not just tools.

"We're inventing a replacement for the human mind. It's the last invention we ever have to make."

At that point, it takes over all future innovation.

He predicted:

• AI vision breakthrough (1989)
• Neural network comeback (2006)
• Self-supervised learning revolution (2016)

Now Yann LeCun's 5 new predictions just convinced Zuckerberg to redirect Meta's entire $20B AI budget.

Here's what you should know (& how to prepare): Image
@ylecun is Meta's Chief AI Scientist and Turing Award winner.

For 35 years, he's been right about every major AI breakthrough when everyone else was wrong.

He championed neural networks during the "AI winter."

But his new predictions are his boldest yet...
1. "Nobody in their right mind will use autoregressive LLMs a few years from now."

The technology powering ChatGPT and GPT-4? Dead within years.

The problem isn't fixable with more data or compute. It's architectural.

Here's where it gets interesting...

In 2021, he predicted the rise of:

• AI chatbots
• $100M training runs
• Chain-of-thought reasoning

All before ChatGPT even existed.

Presidents, AI leaders, and top experts listen when he speaks.

Now, Daniel Kokotajlo says these 5 AI trends will shape the next 100+ years: Image
Image
First, his track record:

Kokotajlo studied AI timelines for years while working at OpenAI.

He predicted chatbot breakthroughs and massive training costs when most experts thought AGI was decades away.

Now, presidents and AI leaders treat his forecasts as required reading:
"Recursive Self-Improvement"

Daniel predicts that by 2027, AI systems will become better at AI research than humans.

This creates a feedback loop where each generation of AI builds a more capable successor.

Progress accelerates from years to months to weeks.

1/ The Feedback Loop

AI will become better at improving AI itself.

The timeline is staggering: Each new AI generation will create its successor in months, not years.

By 2027, what used to take decades happens in weeks.

And it's already starting:

BREAKING: MIT just analyzed 300 AI deployments worth $40 billion & the results are devastating.

Turns out, 95% of enterprise AI projects deliver zero measurable business impact.

Here's what the data revealed:

(hint: the pattern matches every major technology bubble we've seen) Image
The research findings are stark.

Despite $30-40 billion in enterprise AI investment, only 5% of companies are extracting millions in value.

The remaining 95% show no measurable P&L impact.

MIT's analysis reveals why this divide exists... Image
The research team conducted 150 executive interviews, surveyed 350 employees, and analyzed 300 public AI implementations.

Their conclusion challenges conventional wisdom about AI failures.

This isn't a technology problem—it's a strategic implementation gap. Image
