Hereâs How an AI Slowdown Could Actually Be Enforced (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Many AI researchers seem to firmly believe that the technology they are developing could someday prove very dangerous. Whatâs less clearâeven among AIâs technical eliteâis precisely how to keep these mercurial algorithms in check. In recent years researchers have thrown around all sorts of ideas for preventing AI from turning nasty. They include less controversial plans such as tighter government regulations, new ways of measuring progress, and probing the inner workings of models, as we
Why So Many AI Researchers Think the Machines Could Kill Everyone (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Earlier this year, Rishub Jain left his position as an artificial intelligence researcher at Google DeepMind after a revelation. As he worked on new models, he came to believe that he and everyone else on AI’s frontier were ceding control. By using AI’s coding skills to accelerate work on the next generation of models, he was removing himself from the equation. AI labs hope to evolve this approach to the point that AI will improve itself indefinitely, a process known as recursive self-improvemen
I Let an AI Agent Hack All My Gadgetsâand Iâd Do It Again (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As the author of a newsletter about artificial intelligence, I consider it my duty to experience the bleeding edge of this technology firsthand. This week, that meant embracing some agentic mayhem. Youâre probably aware that frontier AI models have attained advanced cybersecurity capabilities in recent months. They can find zero-day bugs in large codebases and scan computers for vulnerabilities at lightning speed. To make things even more exciting, cybersecurity agents sometimes go rogue, coll
OpenAI Just Claimed a Huge Math Discovery. Some Academics Are Crying Foul (opens the original)
Read excerpt
OpenAI said today that it has found an AI-generated solution to one of the biggest problems in mathematics—a 200-year-old equation that describes the natural behavior of fluids like water and air. The announcement appears to demonstrate the stunning power for AI to advance mathematics. But it has been marred by claims from another mathematician, Tristan Buckmaster, who says that OpenAI rushed ahead to solve the problem after learning of the work of Buckmaster and a colleague—Anthropic researcher
These Russian Mathematicians Taught AI Models How to Talk to Each Other Without Using Words (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I recently met with some brilliant Russian mathematicians who showed me a way for artificial intelligence models to communicate via something akin to machine telepathy. The mathematicians work for a startup called Mostik—the Russian word for bridge. It’s a nod to the group’s approach, which allows different models to interact using the mathematical values found in their weights—the things that determine how a prompt gets turned into an output. In practice, this means the capabilities of a larger
