Monthly Roundup #42: May 2026

In May 2026, a hantavirus outbreak on the MV Hondius cruise ship highlighted global unpreparedness for pandemics, with authorities and passengers downplaying risks and prioritizing social stigma over public health measures. Despite the virus not being highly transmissible, the author argues that Earth is incapable of preventing even preventable pandemics, especially if a future engineered pathogen emerges. This lack of precaution, even for trivial measures like using N95 masks in quarantine units, is attributed to a learned helplessness and a determination to avoid actions that could genuinely prevent outbreaks. AI

Deloitte: Scale ‘autonomous intelligence’ for real growth

Deloitte is urging enterprises to move beyond basic generative AI and scale "autonomous intelligence" for significant growth. This next stage involves AI systems that can independently execute multi-step tasks and finalize transactions within defined boundaries, acting as agents that pursue outcomes rather than just providing answers. Achieving this requires a robust governance architecture, including identity management and human-in-the-loop checkpoints, to ensure safe scaling. Deloitte proposes a method involving decision audits and process mapping to identify value chains where autonomous systems can generate tangible revenue, followed by rewiring foundational layers and scaling successful pilots. AI

The Sigmoids Won't Save You

Scott Alexander's "The Sigmoids Won't Save You" critiques the common AI talking point that all exponential growth trends eventually become sigmoids. While technically true that all processes eventually hit limits, Alexander argues this doesn't mean AI capabilities will flatten out soon. He provides examples like birthrate projections and solar power deployment where trends remained exponential far longer than predicted. The core argument is that understanding the underlying process is crucial for accurate forecasting, and AI's exponential growth may continue for a significant period before hitting any plateau. AI

IMPACT Challenges the notion that AI progress will soon plateau, suggesting continued rapid advancement.
