Abram Demski reports using Claude Opus 4.8 and GPT 5.5 to conduct 'vibe research' on logical induction as a model for AI trustworthiness and recursive self-improvement, collaborating with Anson Berns to formalize results…
A new benchmark test of Ornith 1.0, a model that builds its own task scaffolds, found that providing a full shell and Python environment doubled its bug-finding performance without increasing false positives. The expande…
OpenAI launched GPT-5.6 as three tiered models—Sol, Terra, and Luna—each priced for different workloads, but benchmark comparisons show Sol leads on OpenAI's chosen metric while a competitor still leads on others, making…
Midjourney, the AI image generator behind a 2024 scientific retraction for AI-generated diagrams, announced a $74 million investment in Butterfly Network to develop a full-body ultrasonic scanner that submerges patients …
A blog post proposes using reinforcement learning on a timestamped internet cache to train a superhuman forecaster, aiming to solve the data-leakage problem in AI forecasting benchmarks. The proposal is speculative and l…
A researcher argues that reinforcement learning should be applied to forecasting rather than coding or math, claiming it could produce superhuman forecasters that improve decision-making across civilization. The author d…
Stanford University's 2026 AI Index reveals the United Arab Emirates and Singapore lead in generative AI adoption at 54% and 61% respectively, while the United States ranks 24th at 28.3% despite leading global AI investm…

Researcher HoLo-ToLk built speech-to-text and text-to-speech models using a tokenizer-free byte substrate, achieving a character error rate of 0.194 on STT, beating a mel-spectrogram baseline, while TTS remains a feasibi…
A survey explores non-extinction scenarios for artificial superintelligence (ASI), including alignment failure leading to a 'prison' of geniuses, and strategic nuclear exchange triggered by ASI races. The author assigns …
Snyk's Evo Agentic Development Security platform went GA on June 29, revealing that one in 12 developers with active MCP server connections has a high or critical security finding. Scanning nearly 10,000 developer enviro…
Zhipu AI's open-weight GLM 5.2 model scored 39% F1 on IDOR detection in Semgrep's benchmark, beating Claude Code's 32% at a cost of $0.17 per vulnerability found. The test, designed to separate model performance from har…
Artificial intelligence enables smooth intellectual journeys but bypasses the struggle that fosters genuine insight, according to a Psychology Today article. The author argues that true genius emerges from navigating cog…
A developer is building a website where users exchange data for credits to train AI models, bypassing monetary transactions. Users earn credits by fulfilling data bounties and spend them to request data for their own mod…
University of Ottawa researchers built an AI assistant called UbiMyTherapist that reads heart rate variability, speech tone, and text from smartwatches and earbuds to detect emotional distress and offer support before th…
Researchers at the University of Ottawa, led by Dr. Karim Alghoul, developed UbiMyTherapist, a proactive AI therapist for wearables that uses heart rate variability, speech tone, and text to detect emotional distress. Pr…
