US Launches Genesis Mission - AI's "Manhattan Project"

Published 3 months agoΒ β€’Β 2 min read

πŸͺ« "ChatGPT-4 is the dumbest model any of you will ever, ever have to use again, by a lot.” - Sam Altman

Hello Reader,

The Genesis Mission, a new Ai initiative launched by U.S. President Donald Trump, has been framed by the administration as comparable in scale to the Manhattan Project. The program aims to accelerate scientific discovery by combining artificial intelligence with large federal research datasets.

The effort will apply Ai systems to data from agencies including NASA, the National Institutes of Health, and the Department of Energy. These datasets cover climate systems, oceans, space, materials science, and the human genome.

Officials say Ai could reduce discovery timelines from years to days by automating experiment design, accelerating simulations, and producing predictive models in areas such as protein folding, fusion energy, and advanced materials.

The Department of Energy has sixty days to identify twenty priority scientific challenges and ninety days to map national computing resources. It must demonstrate progress on at least one challenge within nine months.

The long-term goal is to double U.S. research productivity within a decade. Companies including Nvidia, OpenAI, Microsoft, IBM, Google, and Amazon Web Services are listed as collaborators, though funding and governance details have not yet been disclosed.

πŸ› οΈ GPT 5.2 has been released

After Gemini 3 was released, Sam Altman declared a 'red alert' and reallocated programming resources to launch the latest version of ChatGPT - 5.2.

πŸͺž Let's reflect together

Every year, I have published an Annual Review on my personal website. I have a Google Doc template I've used, year after year, to ask myself these introspective questions on New Year's Eve.

If you'd like to get access to this Google Doc, and participate in guided journaling exercises, breakout room discussions, and copy/paste Ai prompting activities, I'm hosting a one-hour Zoom workshop on New Year's Eve at noon NZ time (10-11 am AU time, 3-4 pm Pacific time on Tuesday, the 30th).

It's $20 to attend. You can pay in NZD, AUD, or USD.

Ai Coaching Newsletter

by Caelan Huntress

Weekly newsletter highlighting the latest Ai news, with 2-minute video tutorials and copy/paste prompts you can use to improve your skills as an Ai operator. Ai is changing all jobs this decade. You are either getting ready to change how you work, or getting ready to retire. As artificial intelligence moves from optional to operational, technical specialists no longer have the advantage. It is those who can supervise and coach Ai to improve that will thrive in an Ai-augmented future.

🎒 β€œWe’re Entering an era where intelligence will no longer be a limited resource." - Reid Hoffman Hello Reader, Last week at AgentCamp in Christchurch, hosted by Steve Knutson at Stratos Technology Partners, I spoke about a shift that is quietly transforming how people work with AI. Most people still think the secret to good AI output is writing a clever prompt, but the deeper truth is that prompting is only a small part of the equation. The real leverage comes from context...

βš–οΈ β€œWith a leveraged worker, judgment is far more important than how much time they put in or how hard they work.” - Naval Hello Reader, AI is better at evaluating content than generating content.This makes sense, when you stop to think about it. For a large language model to interpret your instructions, and create output, all in the same step, it dilutes the same token budget over two requests.But if you have ask AI to evaluate its own outputs, it can focus all its attention on identifying...
