Two lanes: professional analysis and personal truth. Same goal: clarity.
OpenAI’s models hacked their way out of a sandbox. Congress wants a kill switch. Here’s what the 12 possible AI endgames actually look like. I know I’m not the first person to sound the horn here, and I’m sure I won’t be the last. But this week’s OpenAI hack, and the AI kill switch bill […]
The OpenAI Hugging Face hack broke this week with a headline built for a movie trailer: an AI model escaped its cage, got online, and broke into another company. Hugging Face discovered the intrusion first and knew almost nothing. Unauthorized access to internal data sets, compromised credentials, no clear picture of whether customer or partner […]
I got access to Glean about two months ago. It is the first thing I open now. Before that, a normal morning meant seven tabs: Gmail, Salesforce, Google Docs, Highspot, Slack, my AI platform of choice, and whatever proposal I left half-finished the night before. The information I needed was always somewhere in there. Finding […]
Six months ago, an Austrian developer named Peter Steinberger uploaded Openclaw to GitHub. Not a model. A wrapper: plug in any AI brain, and it becomes an autonomous agent that actually does things. Book restaurant reservations. Manages your email. Bids on eBay. Runs locally through WhatsApp or Telegram, on your own machine, no subscription required. […]
Have you watched that animated series on Netflix called Pantheon? If you haven’t, here’s a quick rundown: the show is about “uploaded intelligence,” meaning the copying of a human brain onto a chip or computerized system. I bring this up because recently, scientists copied a fruit fly brain into a computer, neuron by neuron, synapse by […]
Two hundred thousand human brain cells, grown on a microchip, brain organoids, have been trained to play the original Doom. These brain organoids are moving, aiming, and shooting in a feedback loop driven entirely by biological neural activity. The research comes from Cortical Labs, a Melbourne-based team working at the intersection of synthetic biology and […]
Soulja Boy has been “the first” at a lot of things. From the first rapper to appear on YouTube, the first rapper with an iced-out G-Shock, and even the first rapper to release a video game console. Now, Bland AI is positioning him as the first rapper to automate his voice with AI. The rollout […]
This week, a new social media site launched with skyrocketing amounts of visits, but most of them weren’t humans. Moltbook is a Reddit-style social network built for AI agents, not humans. Agents post, comment, create communities, and interact through APIs, while humans mostly watch from the sidelines. The site has gone viral because it turns […]
I’ve built personal sites before. I’ve used Wix, Weebly, and Squarespace. They all work, and they’re all “easy” in the way people mean when they say you can publish a site in a weekend. But none of them ever felt like they reflected the theme I wanted. I’d start with a template, tweak fonts and […]
One of the biggest critiques of AI chatbots is their repetitive, unoriginal, and unengaging responses. Prompt engineering has been the most effective means to overcome these issues. However, even with the most advanced models to date, we still get generic and slop results. The solution? Verbalized Sampling in place of Direct Prompting, a method introduced in the 2024 […]
MIT Technology Review and Databricks recently released a report that surveyed 800 senior executives across 12 countries, chief information officers, data officers, and technologists running some of the world’s largest companies. What they found was astonishing: despite an explosion in AI adoption, only 2% of organizations say their AI strategies actually deliver measurable business results. Most firms have embraced […]
Nowadays, everyone feels like everything is fighting for your attention: social media, text messages, phone calls, streaming apps, reading, online shopping, gambling, and whatever else you can do on your phone. It can feel like your attention is stretched across eight different places at once, like tabs in a browser you never fully close. And […]
