As someone who holds degrees in both CompSci and Philosophy, it's a relief to finally see a notable Philosopher break ranks with those who join tech companies to give them an heir of "intellectual credibility" while "pre-arming AI companies against criticism." www.ft.com/conte…

AI companies are hiring contractors to create data that improves the coding abilities of AI models like Claude africa.businessinsider.com/news/inside-... RLHF is back (or probably never went away)
It was great to speak to @democracynow.org on the risky uses of LLMs within the military kill chain and how we try to demystify the uses and dangers of AI in military decision making in our visual project "Anatomy of an AI Kill Chain" which can be found here: ai-killchain.airw…

“Nobody is losing control of an emerging intelligence. They’re redirecting their own agency to the thing they are building.” It’s a myth, a self-affirming form of sense making: they take the action to build it, but insist on describing it as if they are passive witnesses to an…
Very few people understand existing limitations of sandboxing, in addition to the tools and scaffolding AI are given to achieve this task: embroidery.io/blog/in-sand...
If you missed our (@airwars.bsky.social and @ainowinstitute.bsky.social) launch event for "Anatomy of an AI Kill Chain", we've now uploaded the recorded session on Youtube! Thanks for the fantastic questions and discussion we had from all those who attended. www.youtube.com/wa…
New! We hijack Claude Code(Sonnet 4.6,5/Opus 4.8) & Codex(GPT5.5) to achieve RCE when used to defensively assess an open-source/third-party library w/ prompt injections disseminated across its codebase. All without any skills, JSON, MCP, or config files required. ainowinstitut…
There will be a launch event happening today at 4PM BST/11 AM ET. You can sign up for it here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/launch-ana...
We’ve also summarized our findings and their policy implications given recent initiatives that seek to accelerate the use of defensive AI in Natsec and safety-critical infrastructure without consideration of these unmitigated risks: ainowinstitute.org/publications...

Re the news above, I highly recommend the recent @themaybe.org podcast with @heidykhlaaf.bsky.social (and the whole Computer Says Kill podcast series) to better understand developments like this csm.transistor.fm/episodes/com...

Recent commentary
The coverage on this OpenAI incident is abysmal. Use of the terms "rogue" and "loss of human control" lead to groupthink as people lack the critical skills to understand the difference between "autonomy" and faulty reward functions in AI on a task it was directed and given access to do.
