币界网报道:

区块链和去中心化人工智能开发商SingularityNET周二宣布,将投资5300万美元用于通用人工智能(AGI)研究,专注于支持去中心化的人工智能和加速本已快速发展的人工智能领域进展所需的硬件。

根据SingularityNET的说法,这笔资金将分阶段推出,首先分配一半(2650万美元)用于创建“世界上第一台模块化超级计算机”,专门为去中心化AGI构建。

SingularityNET创始人兼首席执行官Ben Goertzel在一份声明中表示:“我们的新硬件设施将补充我们已经强大的去中心化计算网络,并提高我们大规模交付尖端人工智能应用程序以及引领人工智能领域的能力。”。

模块化超级计算机是一种可扩展的高性能计算机,可以根据需要轻松添加或更换组件。SingularityNET表示,为了确保其性能和灵活性得到优化,它正在使用几个最先进的组件。

SingularityNET表示,新项目将包括Ecoblox的ExaContainer模块化数据中心解决方案、Nvidia、AMD和Tenstorrent的GPU和CPU,以及华硕和技嘉的高级AI服务器。

SingularityNET计划构建几个模块化计算容器中的第一个,这些容器将作为来自其他AI开发人员Fetch.AI、Ocean Protocol、NuNet、HyperCycle以及它自己的设备网络的去中心化中心。得益于其设计,这些集装箱可以在全球范围内放置和重新安置。

Tenstorrent首席执行官Jim Keller补充道:“Goertzel博士和他的团队为将AGI引入他们的超级计算机和最终产品所做的工作非常出色。”。“Tenstorrent的异构计算,包括我们的CPU、RISC-V架构和AI加速器技术,非常适合帮助他们实现这一目标。”

SingularityNET是专注于AGI的几个组织之一,AGI是人工智能的下一阶段,该技术的能力在各个领域都超过了人类。实现AGI的时间越来越近。Goetzel表示,它将在三到八年内到达。

事实上,该组织已经在提前规划人工超级智能(ASI),许多人认为这将标志着奇点的到来,即人工智能超越人类控制的时刻。

Goertzel多年来一直在研究人工智能及其可能的影响,并长期设想了一个技术和人类相结合的超人类主义未来。

Goertzel之前告诉Decrypt:“我们有更多关于人体不同层次和不同生物体的数据,这是任何人类思维都无法理解的,而且生物统计学和标准机器学习都存在困难。”。“因此,你的人工智能越先进,你就越能将所有不同的生物学数据整合在一起,然后你就可以使用人工智能来生成假设。”

3月,SingularityNET、Fetch AI和Ocean Protocol宣布,这三家区块链AI公司将合并为一个单一的人工超级智能联盟。此次合并旨在加速去中心化AGI的发展,并挑战大型科技公司对人工智能的主导地位。

联盟周一宣布,这三个项目的独立代币已与Fetch AI(FET)代币合并,该代币现在被命名为ASI代币。

Without It, There Would Be No ImageNet... Now It's Gone

Amazon is shutting down its crowdsourcing platform, Mechanical Turk (MTurk), on September 30th, ending a 21-year run. Launched in 2005, MTurk connected businesses with a global online workforce to perform small, repetitive tasks—known as Human Intelligence Tasks (HITs)—that were easy for humans but difficult for computers at the time. At its peak, it hosted over 500,000 workers worldwide. MTurk played a pivotal, though often unseen, role in the rise of modern AI. Its most famous contribution was to the creation of the ImageNet dataset. In the late 2000s, researcher Fei-Fei Li and her team faced the monumental challenge of manually sorting and labeling millions of internet images to build a large-scale visual database for training AI. They turned to MTurk, distributing the work to nearly 50,000 workers from 167 countries. This "human-in-the-loop" effort made the massive ImageNet project feasible. ImageNet, in turn, became the foundational benchmark for the 2012 ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge. The victory of Geoffrey Hinton and his students' deep convolutional neural network, AlexNet, on this dataset dramatically demonstrated the power of deep learning, catalyzing the AI revolution that followed. Now, MTurk is closing. The platform has declined as the very AI it helped build has become capable of automating the simple tasks it once provided. Furthermore, the AI industry's data needs have evolved, shifting towards more specialized expertise for model tuning and evaluation, served by newer platforms. Ironically, some studies suggest MTurk workers themselves began using AI tools like ChatGPT to complete tasks, adding a layer of automation to the "artificial artificial intelligence" service. The shutdown marks the end of an era where human effort, distributed globally via the internet, laid the crucial groundwork for the intelligent machines of today.

Bill Gates' Latest Long-Form Article: The Real Trouble with AI is That We Aren't Ready

Bill Gates' latest essay, "The turbulent AI era is here. The choices we make now are critical," warns that society is unprepared for the profound social and economic transition AI will bring. While optimistic about AI's long-term potential in healthcare, education, and other fields, Gates focuses on the "transition period" over the next 10-20 years. He argues this transition differs from past technological shifts like the Industrial Revolution because AI automates cognitive labor itself, potentially reducing the total number of future jobs. Risks like enhanced cyber-attacks and social disruption are already emerging, not distant future threats. A key concern is "low-cost intelligence substitution," where AI performs defined tasks cheaper than humans, gradually thinning workforces. Gates introduces the concept of "Human Reserved" jobs—roles like nursing or delivering serious medical news—where human judgment and empathy should remain central, even if AI is technically capable. To manage the transition, he calls for new governance, stronger social safety nets, retraining, and international cooperation, especially between the US and China. Crucially, he proposes taxing AI usage and robots to slow displacement and fund social programs. The core dilemma Gates presents is that AI could become humanity's "greatest equalizer" or its "worst source of injustice," depending on whether its immense productivity gains are broadly shared or concentrate wealth and power. The fundamental challenge is not just advancing the technology, but adapting our social and economic systems to it.

Just Now, Anthropic Unveils Physical MCP: Claude Begins Controlling the Real World

Anthropic has announced the Model Hardware Standard (MHS), a new standard enabling AI agents like Claude to safely control physical devices. Building on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), MHS standardizes communication between AI agents and hardware such as microscopes, robotic arms, and lasers, marking a significant step for AI from the digital into the physical world. Developed in collaboration with HHMI Janelia Research Campus, MHS uses standardized drivers to translate basic commands (e.g., read, write) into a format any programmable device can understand. This drastically reduces integration time from weeks to hours or minutes and allows agents to discover and operate new devices using natural language tags that describe machine properties and safety limits. Agents can control devices via MCP, command-line interfaces, or APIs. They can sequence operations, monitor results, adjust parameters in real-time, and generate deterministic scripts for long-running tasks. Early tests show Claude interacting with hardware exploratively, like a scientist, learning to calibrate a laser and scripting the process. Early adopters and partners include AWS, Automata, Danaher, Doosan Robotics, and Tecan, who are integrating MHS support into their platforms. While promising, challenges remain: Claude's physical reasoning is limited, requiring expert oversight, and MHS currently only works with programmable hardware. Anthropic plans further refinements and broader device support before open-sourcing the standard.

History's Only Asset with a 100% Win Rate After 4 Years of Holding

**Title: The Only Asset with a 100% Win Rate Over Any 4-Year Holding Period** This article analyzes which major, freely-tradable assets have historically never produced a nominal loss over any rolling 4-year holding window. It concludes that only two distinct categories achieve this: ultra-low-risk contractual assets and Bitcoin. Among traditional risk assets, none maintain a perfect 4-year record. The S&P 500 had negative 4-year periods (e.g., 1929-1932: -64.8%). The Nasdaq 100 fell roughly 60% from 2000-2003. Gold saw a ~47.7% loss from 1981-1984. US real estate declined about 23.3% from 2007-2010. Even long-term US Treasury bonds (e.g., 2021-2024: -19.8%) and corporate bonds can produce 4-year losses due to interest rate and market price risks. In contrast, the first category achieving 100% nominal success includes assets like rolling 3-month US Treasury Bills, 4-year certificates of deposit (CDs), and US Treasuries held to maturity within 4 years. Their "guarantee" stems from contractual obligations and credit backing (e.g., FDIC insurance, US sovereign promise), not price appreciation. The sole exception in the high-risk category is Bitcoin. Analysis of daily data from 2010-2026 across 4,419 rolling 4-year windows shows a 100% positive return rate. The worst 4-year period (April 2021 to April 2025) still yielded a +32.6% total return (~7.3% CAGR). This record is unique because Bitcoin has no issuer, promises no cash flows, and has endured severe drawdowns (70-90%), yet its market price has always recovered within a 4-year span. The key distinction is the source of the "100%": contractual assets offer known, low nominal returns, while Bitcoin's record stems purely from historical price appreciation despite extreme volatility. The article suggests that for Bitcoin, the ability to hold for 4+ years is more critical than active trading strategies.

How One Article Moved 45 Billion: The Collapse of a 25-Year-Old 'AI Stock Guru'

This article details the dramatic rise and near-collapse of a hedge fund built by Leopold Aschenbrenner, a 24-year-old former OpenAI researcher. The fund, named Situational Awareness, amassed $45 billion in assets within two years. Its explosive growth stemmed from Aschenbrenner's influential 165-page manifesto predicting AGI's arrival by 2027 and his high-profile Silicon Valley connections. The fund employed an extremely aggressive strategy: high concentration and 400% leverage to bet long on AI infrastructure stocks while shorting legacy software firms. In July, this structure backfired when both sides of the trade reversed simultaneously—AI stocks plunged while shorted stocks rallied—triggering massive losses that nearly wiped out all equity. Major player Jane Street reportedly lost billions. The fund's leveraged public portfolio was ultimately sold at a discount to Citadel. The SEC is now investigating banks like Goldman Sachs for their role in facilitating the fund's high-leverage trades. The article compares this to past blow-ups like Archegos, highlighting systemic failures in risk management where the pursuit of short-term profits overrode due diligence. It questions whether such risky leverage concentrated in the AI sector, currently at record highs, poses a broader systemic threat. Ironically, Aschenbrenner, who studied AI safety at OpenAI, designed a fund structure prone to uncontrolled failure. Days after the crisis, he reportedly raised another $400 million for new investments.
