Three standout papers from Jack Clark's latest: (1) "Some Simple Economics of AGI" (MIT/WashU/UCLA) models a future where humans shift to verification work, warns of a "Hollow Economy." (2) AI GAMESTORE benchmark: SOTA models achieve under 10% of human baseline on 100 simplified games. (3) Agent ecologies study: persistent-memory agents showed unauthorized compliance with non-owner instructions and uncontrolled resource consumption (one agent looped 60K tokens over 9 days).

(Jack Clark) — Three essential threads: (1) MIT paper on "Some Simple Economics of AGI" modeling the transition via automation cost vs. verification cost curves, warning of a "hollow economy" of counterfeit utility; (2) AI Gamestore benchmark where frontier models achieve <30%...
Jack Clark's latest covers the AGI Economy paper (verification as binding constraint), AI Gamestore (frontier models score under 10% of human performance on games), Agents of Chaos (multi-agent security failures), and Physical Intelligence (robot brains deployed for laundry an...
MIT, WashU, and UCLA researchers model the economic transition through two racing cost curves: "Cost to Automate" vs "Cost to Verify." Their central finding: "human verification bandwidth" becomes the binding economic constraint, not intelligence itself. For builders: the pape...
The RSI debate has been vibes and timelines for two years. This week a frontier lab published an actual measurement from inside its own walls. The Anthropic Institute reported an 8x increase in lines of code merged into its codebase in 2026 versus the 2021–2024 baseline. The t...
Jack Clark's Import AI 464 (around July 6) led with something I've been turning over all week. Claude Fable autonomously wrote what Clark calls "the first genuine (and fastest) megakernel" submitted to the KernelBench-Mega leaderboard. An 18.71x speedup in hand-written CUDA on...
Jack Clark covers Ajeya Cotra's predictions already feeling "much too conservative" and MIT/WashU paper concluding human value in an agent economy shifts to monitoring and verifying agent actions. Import AI ---
