I respect the candor here. But I don't agree with the geopolitics, at all. The line between democracies and autocracies is not as crisp as this pretends. How much do we trust, e.g., an AI company in a competitive-authoritarian state that launches sneak decapitation attacks & b…

An understatement: The “call for the administration to de-prioritize “life sciences,” which encompass molecular biology, genetics and other fields in biomedicine, as well as clinical trials aimed at testing new therapies, raised alarms among biomedical researchers and academic…

I like the way UChicago is handling AI The tools are made accessible privately, without giving vendors access to inputs, and also we "emphasize the centrality of human engagement, human interaction, and human expertise to UChicago’s educational mission.” chicagomaroon.com/5326…
Thought this was a reasonably accurate way to position me in the AI zeitgeist; U Chicago Pediatrics is leaning on me hard here, and I’m fine with that. Be curious to see other experts’ results. bambamramfan.github.io/ai-compass/
"Few are worried about the prospect of public research scientists using LLMs to discover new peptides; plenty are worried about how AI might be used as leverage against them in their workplaces, or to replace their labor, or to narrow their job opportunities www.bloodinthemach…
This paper was entertaining, and even mildly reassuring. Major effect of GenAI on cybercrime? Not effective new hacking tools or reduced barriers to entry among noobs, but that tech layoffs drive more skilled coders to crime. arxiv.org/pdf/2603.29545
Medical training faces a new calibration gap as AI enters the clinic. A trial of 111 medical students showed that fluent, misleading LLM explanations degraded diagnostic accuracy from 21.9% to 9.2%. "Shadow AI" can act as a substitute for reasoning rather than a scaffold. #MedSky
Don’t need AI for that, see, e.g. www.newyorker.com/science/anna...
The last few months have been as big a shift in the world of AI as the original release of ChatGPT was. The world has to get ready for the changes. For @the-independent.com, I looked at how China appears more ready than anyone else www.independent.co.uk/tech/artific...
Based on something like this paper of yours? Scaling RL self-play for driving is a cool accomplishment! Do you think about how your various approaches might also be applied to humanoid robots? Any particular task seem a good fit? arxiv.org/abs/2606.19641
