Seminal papers, key talks, and essential videos from the people shaping AI — filtered for signal, not noise.
Machines of Loving Grace
Amodei's long-form vision of how transformative AI could compress decades of scientific progress into a few years — covering biology, neuroscience, mental health, economic development and more. Essential reading on AI's potential upside.
On the Importance of AI Safety Research
Anthropic's CEO on why safety and capability research must proceed together, not in sequence. The clearest articulation of the 'race to the top' philosophy from inside the frontier lab.
Planning for AGI and Beyond
OpenAI's CEO lays out the organisation's transition plan for when AGI arrives — governance structures, iterative deployment, and why 'slow is impossible'. Candid and worth reading critically.
The Intelligence Age
Altman's argument that we're entering a new era of human prosperity driven by AI tools accessible to everyone — optimistic, controversial, and impossible to ignore.
Software 2.0
Karpathy's prescient argument that neural networks are not just a tool but a new programming paradigm — one where the programmer specifies desired behaviour, not explicit logic. Reads even better today.
