In September, I called for everyone to " push back against the AI internet." My prescription was that users of content websites should ask for tools to block AI, and that content companies should prioritize AI identification and offer blocking options. This approach to the coming wave of AI-made content should suit everyone. It gives complete access to AI content foranyone who wants it and helps people avoid a world where human-made content is uncommon and hard to find.

"Holy shit," Benioff wrote on X on Sunday. "I've used ChatGPT every day for 3 years. Just spent 2 hours on Gemini 3. I'm not going back. The leap is insane - reasoning, speed, images, video... everything is sharper and faster. It feels like the world just changed, again." Benioff's reaction quickly went viral, racking up more than one million views as of early Monday morning. It adds to a growing chorus of executives praising Google's latest AI release.

Ole (a pseudonym) was an early cyberutopian, one of many who embraced the internet as a democratizing technology, overturning old monopolies and power imbalances. Then the internet was taken over by big-tech companies that established new monopolies and new power imbalances. Recently, he has begun to talk a lot about AI-enabled robots. How do humans fit into the plans of tech companies and aligned governments? And how will the widespread use of robots change our daily lives?

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) technology has accelerated since the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022 and now many people lean on AI chatbots for advice and even companionship. The problem with this approach is that AI chatbots are, at least currently, quite sycophantic and don't, by default, challenge a user's worldview. Rather, they can reinforce one's current beliefs and biases. Furthermore, since we as humans have a tendency to anthropomorphize things, we perceive the output of AI chatbots as "human" and think we

Krista Pawloski remembers the single defining moment that shaped her opinion on the ethics of artificial intelligence. As an AI worker on Amazon Mechanical Turk a marketplace that allows companies to hire workers to perform tasks like entering data or matching an AI prompt with its output Pawloski spends her time moderating and assessing the quality of AI-generated text, images and videos, as well as some factchecking.

The Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence has launched Olmo 3, an open-source language model family that offers researchers and developers comprehensive access to the entire model development process. Unlike earlier releases that provided only final weights, Olmo 3 includes checkpoints, training datasets, and tools for every stage of development, encompassing pretraining and post-training for reasoning, instruction following, and reinforcement learning.

Here is a recap of what happened in the search forums today, through the eyes of the Search Engine Roundtable and other search forums on the web. Google Nano Banana Pro is insane and it works in AI Mode, Google Ads and is something you need to check out. Google Ads are now showing up in the wild in AI Mode on desktop. Google Local Service Ads has get competitive quotes buttons.

A new report from OpenAI and a group of outside scientists shows how GPT-5, the company's latest AI large language model (LLM), can help with research from black holes to cancerfighting cells to math puzzles. Each chapter in the paper offers case studies: a mathematician or a physicist stuck in a quandary, a doctor trying to confirm a lab result. They all ask GPT-5 for help. Sometimes the LLM gets things wrong.

Despite the impressive achievements of current generative AI systems, the dream of Artificial General Intelligence remains far away, notwithstanding the hype offered by various tech CEOs.[1] The reasons are easy to state, if hard to quantify. Human intelligence requires three primary features, none of which have been fully cracked: logic, associative learning, and value sensitivity. I'll explain each in turn.

Every C-suite executive I meet asks the same question: Why is our AI investment stuck in pilot purgatory? After surveying over 200 AI practitioners for our latest research, I have a sobering answer: Only 22% of organizations have moved beyond experimentation to strategic AI deployment. The rest are trapped in what I call the "messy middle"-burning resources on scattered pilots that never reach production scale.

Amazon recently issued $15 billion in debt, including a rare 40-year bond, and saw demand approach $80 billion - more than five times oversubscribed . Investors accepted yields only about 80 basis points above comparable U.S. Treasuries, effectively treating Amazon as quasi-sovereign credit despite the long maturity. This level of demand is extraordinary for a private company raising funds for aggressive capital expenditures.

It's very concerning what PRC is doing in the world ... and if we let that become dominant, it is a means of control. And that's why I think that our worldview is that of freedom and of prosperity and a personal choice. And so if we allow our models to dominate, then our worldview begins to dominate," Budd said. "And I think that's what's best for humanity. I think that's what's best for the world.

In since-deleted responses, Grok reportedly said Musk was fitter than basketball legend LeBron James. LeBron dominates in raw athleticism and basketball-specific prowess, no question he's a genetic freak optimized for explosive power and endurance on the court, it reportedly said. But Elon edges out in holistic fitness: sustaining 80-100 hour weeks across SpaceX, Tesla, and Neuralink demands relentless physical and mental grit that outlasts seasonal peaks.
