OpenAI’s Dots: Like OpenClaw declawed - for $100/mo ChatGPT Pro users - ZDNET (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At today’s Dev Days announcement, OpenAI introduced a new service that promises to provide enormous productivity benefits and probably some massive headaches. Called Dots, the service is basically a cloud-based virtual machine (VM) on which you can spin up AI agents powered by GPT-6 Astra. Put another way, it’s what happens when a giant AI company acquihires OpenClaw and turns it into a scalable (and potentially safer) product in the cloud. While some folks have had difficulty wrapping their hea
Meta Muse is the worst AI agent for privacy - and I've tried them all - ZDNET (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It took me a few days to start writing this article. After my editor asked me to see what the Meta Muse agent could do, I pictured being handed a vial of Ebola and being told by my boss, “See if you can find any good in this.” I’ve been trying to figure out how to evaluate this service without letting it out of the safest quarantine I could find. Also: The best and worst AI for your privacy, ranked – and how each handles your data That restriction meant there’s no way in heck I’m putting this to
Could AI really destroy us all, or are humans still the bigger threat? - ZDNET (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Doomsday Clock is now 85 seconds to midnight. According to the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists’ Science and Security Board (SASB), this is the closest the clock has ever been to midnight. While somewhat mired in controversy, the Doomsday Clock is a useful metric of humanity’s existential risks. Founded by scientists who helped develop the first atomic weapons, including Albert Einstein and J. Robert Oppenheimer, the Doomsday Clock is a metaphor for how close we are to an apocalyptic threat
Claude Code’s revised projects adds AI orchestration, but local developers must wait - ZDNET (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Claude Code has always had projects, in the sense that a given directory is declared as the root for source code. I keep each of the apps I’m developing in separate directories, and I’ve built up a complex orchestration and management workflow that allows certain messages to be exchanged between these directories. Beyond that, they’re isolated code structures. Also: After the vibe-coding rush comes the debugging hangover Today, Anthropic is announcing that it’s redesigning the idea of projects i
Why the DOJ’s OpenAI copyright stance is the real threat to national security - ZDNET (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ever since generative AI arrived in early 2023, we’ve seen that its almost unlimited base of knowledge is due to how the big AI companies trained their models. To a large degree, AI models like those from OpenAI and Anthropic have been trained on anything they could ingest, including nearly all the copyrighted material on the web. The AI companies are even reported to be buying up physical books by the millions, cutting them apart, scanning them in, and then disposing of the remains. For example
