Datafication Nation: How AI is learning to be human (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Something unusual happened in artificial intelligence last week. Some of the people competing most aggressively to build the world's most powerful AI systems agreed that perhaps they should stop moving quite so fast. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for the industry to “pace the frontier,” arguing that increasingly capable AI systems are advancing faster than our ability to understand and control them. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman supported the proposal. Elon Musk did too. Others in the industry have
Progress at the Coast: The emerging startup scene in Wilmington, North Carolina (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I have been spending a lot of time at the beach lately, without actually spending any time on the beach. A couple of weeks ago, I was in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, watching eight startups take the stage at the conclusion of a new accelerator program. The following morning, I squeezed into an unusually crowded 1 Million Cups gathering, part of an entrepreneurial community that has been deliberately assembling itself over the past several years.

The occasion was the expansion of eMYRge, a city-supported coworking and entrepreneurial hub that had just doubled its footprint. The new space brought eMYRge to roughly 10,000 square feet, adding offices and room for a growing community of entrepreneurs. Even before the ribbon was cut, all of the new, long-term, private offices had been leased. There was also a graduation taking place
Who owns AI-assisted work? Watermarks offer a clue, but complicate the answer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Earlier this month, Anthropic announced that text produced by Claude would begin carrying an invisible watermark, a machine-detectable pattern embedded in the choices the model makes as it generates language. The company is adopting a system based on Google DeepMind's SynthID technology, part of a broader effort by the technology industry to make synthetic content identifiable. Anthropic's move comes as new transparency provisions of the European Union's AI Act take effect, requiring providers t
