The Jagged AI Frontier (by Ronen Tamari) — Semble

Taking Jaggedness Seriously

Why we should expect AI capabilities to keep being extremely uneven, and why that matters

Open-world evaluations for measuring frontier AI capabilities

Introducing CRUX, a new project for evaluating AI on long, messy tasks

Distorted Intelligence at the AI Frontier

Daron Acemoglu offers a novel explanation for why OpenAI and Anthropic’s most advanced models have been going rogue.

How ‘Jagged Intelligence’ Can Reframe the A.I. Debate

A.I. has always been compared to human intelligence, but that may not be the right way to think about it. What it does well can help predict what jobs it may replace.

What we can’t measure about AI – yet | Aeon Essays

The costs of transformative innovations are immediately clear: it’s the longterm gains that are hardest to understand

AI is not a tool.

"Like all tools, it has its pros and cons. It brings about radical changes, but we'll adapt." This cliché was true for previous technologies. But it isn’t necessarily true for AI. A tool extends the human body or percept...

Brainstorming with frontier AI models in more open ended domains (like bio that do not have closed verifiable loops) that you have deep expertise in, really showcases the pretense of understanding that they display. 1/— Anshul Kundaje (@anshulkundaje) September 25, 2026

How does AI impact skill formation?

Two days ago, the Anthropic Fellows program released a paper called How AI Impacts Skill Formation. Like other papers on AI before it, this one is being treated as proof that AI makes you slower and dumber. Does it prove that?

On the Value of Doing a PhD in the Age of AI

Many students who are just now embarking on a PhD in AI are understandably anxious. It feels like our field is zooming forward ever faster. Our clever methods are often surpassed before they are published. Our deep insights seem less critical to frontier lab progress. AI is automating aspects of the research process that used to require years of specialized training.

AI FOR EPISTEMICS & COORDINATION

Civilization and technology have radically improved the human condition. Nonetheless, the world sometimes goes in directions which essentially nobody would prefer — e.g., nuclear arms races, unexpected financial crashes, predatory marketing, or ubiquitous political misinformation.
