The argument Mag is the name of a Washington DC based magazine, created and directed by Eritrean-American journalist Jerusalem Demsas. With a group a ten writers, the argument advocates of liberalism, a political current that emphasizes on civil rights, as described on wikipedia : Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property, and equality before the law.
in a recent article written by journalist Kelsey Piper, the magazine taks about the progress of AI and explains how fast it goes and how exponential it is bound to be in the next months, with self replicating AI software on which engineers agree they could loose control. Recent quit epidemy illsutrates perfectly this loss of control : Jacob Coxon, 27, being the latest to resign because he fears extinction danger. The real issue she mentions here is the forthcoming of agentic AI, which few of us have really tried.
Agentic AI is different from Prompting AI in the sense that is works autonomously for hours. Giving access to your computer and chrome browser, for instance, gives Claude the properties to act as an autonomous agent. It’s as simple as that, but if a lot of your life lives in your computer, it might not be reasonable to act so.
