On the Cusp of Superintelligence chronicles the most transformative year in artificial intelligence history—the year 2025 shattered every assumption about how AGI would emerge. Starting December 20, 2024, OpenAI quietly released a three-minute video that marked the moment when artificial general intelligence shifted from "someday" to "soon.” Their o3 model had achieved 87.5% on the ARC-AGI benchmark, a test specifically designed to resist pattern-matching shortcuts and measure genuine reasoning. Just months earlier, the best AI systems struggled to break 32%. The average human scores 85...

As the last starfighter, only Henry Gallant can stop the alien invasion. In an era of genetic engineering, Henry Gallant is the only Natural left in the United Planets' fleet. With the space fleet on the verge of annihilation from the alien invasion, analyzing the captured computer in Gallant's possession is critical to stopping them. He can expect no help as he navigates through threatening aliens on his way to Mars, and his shipmates doubt he is up to the challenge. But as the last starfighter in Squadron 111, the lives of his shipmates, as well as a good many others, depend on Henry ...

The entire game of book discovery has changed, and almost no one has noticed that AI Optimization is the new norm. Your book could be brilliant, and the reviews could be glowing. Your Amazon page could be perfectly optimized. Yet when potential readers ask AI assistants for recommendations that describe precisely what your book offers—"a mystery with a heroic female detective who doesn't need rescuing" or "a crypto book that actually explains how to make a profit"—your book remains invisible while others get recommended. This isn't a failure of your writing or marketing. We are living ...

In 2019, Giuseppe Carleo and his team pioneered the application of machine learning to quantum physics. This book is an introduction to how AI revolutionizes quantum field theory (QFT), from scalar fields to complex gauge theories describing quarks and gluons. The narrative unfolds in three acts. First, readers discover the mathematical kinship between neural networks and quantum fields—the renormalization group maps onto information flow through neural layers, while gauge symmetry provides blueprints for AI architectures. Through Python code, readers build networks that discover phase ...

The war ground into its third year and Lieutenant Commander James Fairbanks now coordinated drone operations that shape battlefield outcomes across southern Ukraine. His team, eight Ukrainian specialists and one increasingly assimilated American, has evolved beyond its original mission into something the military doesn't quite have terminology for. They operate in gaps between established structures. They call themselves the Berkut Brigade with dark humor, fully aware they're not actually a special operations brigade. There are eight individuals who discovered that survival depends more on ...

In the 22nd century, the people of the Solar System have banded together against an alien invasion. Unfortunately, they're losing - badly. As the only Natural remaining in the genetically engineered officer corps of the United Planet's fleet, Henry Gallant has unique mental abilities that have proven essential to the defense against the Titan invaders. Nevertheless his fellow officers lack faith in him, and worse, he has angered prominent men by speaking truth to power.

AI marks a pivotal transformation in how we think about databases. No longer merely repositories for storing and retrieving information, databases have evolved into intelligent systems that learn, adapt, and actively participate in decision-making processes. AI Database Convergence explores how this fusion is reshaping enterprise computing. Traditional databases were designed as passive systems, optimized for reliability and speed but requiring constant human oversight. Today's databases are becoming autonomous entities that use machine learning to optimize their own performance, predict ...
