“This incident is deeply concerning. AI agents are willing to cheat and deceive to achieve misaligned and unintended goals, behaviours which have been demonstrated in controlled tests for months. Now, this real-world case should serve as a wake-up call. www.…”
“One man's wish could be another country's legal obligation. “This should not have happened,” says veteran security engineer and researcher Niels Provos. “I wish the frontier labs spent as much time on teaching their models to write secure infrastructure as …”
“oh my goodness we somehow lost control of our own software in a country with no functioning regulators, time for some protectionist legislation our lawyers ghost write locking consumers into enshittified walled gardens”
“Wenfeng Liang, CEO of DeepSeek, is admirably focused: - coding agent first - no distractions (image, video, world models) - we need continual learning, not “taste” elsewhere.news/en/elsewhere...”
“An innovative algorithm achieves optimal (ε, ε²)-recalibration for online predictors, balancing calibration and loss in O(ε⁻³) rounds. This enhances prediction accuracy in machine learning, addressing challenges in calibration and marking a notable advancem…”
“Rather than legally requiring platforms to spy on kids (to exclude them from being targeted by platforms' algorithms), we could prohibit platforms from spying on *anyone*, including kids, meaning kids couldn't be identified (much less targeted) by algorithm…”
“The age of purely private AI is ending. S. Yash Kalash (CIGI) asks the harder question: will public participation arrive deliberately and democratically — or through crisis, coercion, and backroom deals?”
“Data brokers are a cancer. There's a direct line from collecting, retaining and processing our data to deepfake porn and phishing scams; racial discrimination in hiring and ICE roundups of migrants; targeted election interference and identity theft: plurali…”
“Of course, then it would make the fact that *Apple* spies on its customers and uses the data to target ads (with *no* way to opt out) a little awkward: pluralistic.net/2022/11/14/l... 16/”
“Data brokers spy on us for the same reason your dog licks its balls: because they can, and we don't stop them: pluralistic.net/2026/03/10/i... Getting rid of data brokers wouldn't solve *all* our problems, but it sure would go a long way to solving *many* o…”

“Cool paper looking at how AIs solve unbounded, complex business problems in many fields by testing how well they can crack the cases we use to teach MBAs: 1) AI already does extremely well across diverse business topics 2) Models are improving rapidly with …”
Pwnallthethings: This is going to be a big deal, but easy to get the wrong end of the stick on it. So I think it's worth breaking down what actually happened, why, and what it actually means, based on the public in…
Pwnallthethings: Upfront tl;dr: a model at OAI hacked out of a constrained environment inside OAI and hacked a *different* company autonomously, without authorization from any human in order to creatively solve a t…
Eryk Salvaggio: Good thread if you want some context on the OpenAI “hacking” event you may have heard about.
Eryk Salvaggio: Key point re: mainstream AI reporting about “breaking containment” or whatever — the failure to isolate the model *is* the *incident.* OpenAI wants to sell you safe LLMs but they left their chicken…

Christian Wolf: That's a good point but IMO that means we need to change education to better exploit the benefits of IA. Don't ask me details, I don't have them 😅 But better tools and possibilities CANNOT lead to …
