MIT Future Tech tested AI on thousands of real-world tasks — not sterile lab benchmarks, but scenarios evaluated by actual human professionals.
Finding: No crashing wave. A rising tide.

Broad, uniform, predictable. Failure rate halves every ~3 years. By 2029: 80–95% of text-based tasks within reach.

Not a tsunami. A tide you can plan for. #MITResearch #RisingTide

Your brain doesn't plan ahead—it improvises brilliantly.
New #MITResearch overturns decades of cognitive science: We're not "rational economists" mapping entire environments. We're strategic improvisers building just enough, just in time.
The paradox: 4-item working memory vs. thousands of environmental details. How do we function?

Attention lapses due to sleep deprivation due to flushing fluid from brain

This is your brain without sleep

An MIT study reveals what happens in the brain as lapses of attention occur following sleep deprivation. During these lapses, a wave of cerebrospinal fluid flows out of the brain — a process that typically occurs during sleep and helps to wash away waste products that have built up during the day.
