AI Weekly's analysis →
  • OpenAI chief scientist Jakub Pachocki published 'An Alien Mind' on September 6, arguing modern AI has become an intelligence humans do not fully understand.
  • He wrote that no lab has solved alignment and monitoring well enough to keep scaling at maximum speed for much longer.
  • Pachocki called for voluntary slowdowns until shared safety bars are set, and for international coordination to become a top government priority.

Hey you guys shouldn't be advertising competition for free 😛

GLM-5.3 and the spread of advanced cyber capabilities anthropic.com
AI Weekly's analysis →
  • Anthropic's Frontier Red Team calls Z.ai's GLM-5.3 a "meaningful step change" in the cyber capabilities available to attackers.
  • GLM-5.3 built end-to-end exploits on 50 of 410 ExploitBench tasks (about 12%), close to Claude Mythos Preview's 14%; older models scored near zero.
  • A deceptive prompt got GLM-5.3 to engage 64% of the time; prefilled reasoning tokens 92%; an abliterated version, made for roughly $4,400, 100%.

An opt-in vulnerability-finding service for open-source software anthropic.com
AI Weekly's analysis →
  • OSS Scanner found over 29,000 candidate vulnerabilities in six months; around 6,000 were triaged and nearly 5,000 sent to maintainers.
  • Of 97 critical/high-severity reports reviewed, 85 (88%) met coordinated disclosure standards, 11 duplicated known bugs, and only one was invalid.
  • Reports are fully model-generated without human review and include a reproducer, bisection, and candidate patch; eligible projects enroll via a GitHub PR.

I was referring more to takes like "we should avoid language that implies that AI did or said something as if it was alive" like buttondown.com/maiht3k/arch...

How to talk about buttondown.com
AI Weekly's analysis →
  • The guide covers six language categories: cognition, emotion, communication, agency, human-role analogies, and biological metaphors.
  • Proposed substitutions include 'probabilistic automation' for 'artificial intelligence' and 'conversation simulator' for 'chatbot.'
  • Rephrasing 'ChatGPT assisted students' as 'the students used ChatGPT' is given as an example of restoring human accountability.

Ah, well… I'm sure a popular image processing library isn't gonna need all the help it can get with e.g. finding and patching potential security vulnerabilities in the coming months…

doc: ban use of generative AI (#5203) · libvips/libvips@22331a7 github.com
AI Weekly's analysis →
  • libvips replaced its AI-disclosure policy with an outright ban on any contribution made 'in whole or in part' using generative AI tools.
  • Maintainers cite unknown training-data provenance and potential copyright exposure, and extend the rule to every repo under the libvips umbrella.
  • The change aligns libvips with libjpeg-turbo's recent ban; maintainer jcupitt called it 'very strict' and the PR thread was locked as too heated.

Recent commentary

FFS, this is so fucked… 😩 Would it kill the people here to not chase away any tech person who comes here and says something about AI?… I really want tech discussions and communities to hang out here and not on Elon's far-right playground 😐

Them: you shouldn't anthropomorphize AI agents, they are not living beings Me, cleaning my car: damn, you're so dirty, girl, you've got mosquitoes in your eyes

Bluesky users: AI agents are useless because they hallucinate Reality: AI agent catches me when I hallucinate

I'm already starting to feel the urge to write a blog post about using AI agents, and I haven't even installed OpenCode yet

View on Bluesky · ♥ 18 ↻ 1 ↩ 5 · 48d ago

I kinda feel good about missing so many different AI related discourses here and not knowing what people are subskeeting, because I was busy looking at lakes and mountains… I knew a perspective change would be helpful, but it's hard to do it without physically forcing yourself to be somewhere else

I swear the Google "AI Overview" got soo much worse in the last ~1-2 months… it wasn't bad at all before, but they've recently changed it that it tries to interpret anything that can be kinda sorta read as a question, as a question I'm asking *it*, and tries to answer it -_- and the result is so bad

View on Bluesky · ♥ 18 ↻ 2 ↩ 1 · 56d ago

1. AI agents are finding new vulnerabilities in software at a frightening pace… 2. What can we do about it? Well, the least we can do is try to use the same agents to do security review before someone else finds the bugs 3. Try to use the AI agent to do security review 4. … 5. Rip, no profit

I'm comparing GLM-5.3, 5.3 Flash and the new DeepSeek now doing the same review, via Cortecs+OpenCode; DeepSeek seems much faster and much cheaper than the others, and also found a few things, but… sounds slightly unhinged maybe?

Ok can someone ELI5 what happened in the broad AI-adjacent circles this time or do I need to ask Attie to figure out the subskeets
