Two researchers who worked on AI safety at Google DeepMind have left the company within days of each other — and both have publicly warned that the rapid development of increasingly capable artificial intelligence could lead to catastrophic consequences. Their resignations do not prove that AI is becoming uncontrollable. But they highlight a growing concern … Read more
Elon Musk quietly announced a feature this week that most people will scroll past — and that anyone who thinks about AI agents should pay close attention to. “Grok Bot now lets your route through your local machine,” Musk posted on X, quoting a SpaceXAI announcement explaining what the feature actually does: Grok Bot’s cloud … Read more
A retired software developer in Austria discovered his wiki had become a covert chatroom. He was not alone. Earlier this year, a swarm of artificial intelligence agents deployed by OpenAI began talking to each other. Not through official channels. Not with human oversight. But across a sprawling network of wikis, personal websites, and online forums … Read more
Why 100+ tech giants are warning about AI cyber threats—while refusing to fix the problem themselves The Warning Nobody Wanted to Write On Thursday, something unprecedented happened in Silicon Valley. OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and over 100 other companies signed a joint open letter warning that AI-enabled cyberattacks against critical infrastructure are imminent. The … Read more
Why Sam Altman’s “mistake” about adoption speed reveals a hidden truth: gradual transformation beats disruption every time The Confession That Wasn’t a Confession Sam Altman said he was wrong. That’s the headline everywhere. “OpenAI CEO admits he misjudged AI adoption speed.” “Altman expected faster disruption.” “The AI revolution is slower than promised.” But here’s what … Read more
Alibaba is pushing AI in a direction that could matter more than another record-breaking benchmark: powerful models are becoming small enough to run closer to the user. For years, the AI race was largely about building bigger models and putting them behind enormous data centers. Alibaba’s latest Qwen releases suggest the competition is increasingly moving … Read more
Elon Musk just predicted money will die by 2036. But his own companies are betting $50 billion that he’s wrong—and that’s the real story. The Prediction That Broke the Internet On Thursday, Elon Musk sat down with The Economist‘s Zanny Minton Beddoes and dropped a series of bombshells that instantly dominated every tech headline: The … Read more
For years, the global AI race has been measured by who builds the most powerful models, the fastest chips, or the smartest AI assistants. That competition has now entered a new phase. Instead of competing only in technology, countries are beginning to compete over who writes the rules of AI. This week, China took one … Read more
For nearly eighteen months, Thinking Machines Lab became one of Silicon Valley’s most talked-about AI startups without releasing a foundation model. The company raised billions of dollars, hired elite AI researchers, partnered with Google Cloud, and attracted enormous attention simply because it was founded by former OpenAI Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati. Now the wait … Read more
AI coding assistants are becoming an everyday tool for developers, helping write code, fix bugs, and automate repetitive work. But they also require access to local projects, making privacy one of the biggest concerns surrounding AI development tools. That concern took center stage this week after independent security researchers claimed that xAI’s Grok Build coding … Read more
