A Hugging Face forum discussion proposes replacing "truth" with entropy as the primary attractor for AI alignment, arguing that coherence-based intelligence remains vulnerable to self-certifying closu…
A historical survey traces the first physical and computational reinforcement learning machines built between 1948 and 1954, beginning with Norbert Wiener's 1948 Cybernetics and its negative-feedback …
OpenAI's harness engineering approach, where engineers design environments and feedback loops instead of writing code, mirrors the cybernetic patterns of James Watt's centrifugal governor and Kubernet…
The 1956 Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence, organized by John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, Nathaniel Rochester, and Claude Shannon, is widely considered the founding event of ar…
The article traces the history of artificial intelligence from John McCarthy's 1955 Dartmouth workshop proposal to the present, arguing that the field's borrowed vocabulary—words like 'learning,' 'vis…
A mathematician named Norbert Wiener sent a letter in 1949 warning about the dangers of intelligent machines, but his concerns were ignored. The piece traces the history of AI safety concerns from Wie…
METR released a brief on OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol that criticizes the AI industry for repackaging a known failure—proxy-gaming, identified by Norbert Wiener in 1960—as a novel problem to justify closed ev…
