doubling its training speed whilst improving model quality

What we used to think were the constraints are just not constraints anymore. It's empowering.

But there’s a critical difference between using agents to accomplish defined objectives and spinning up 20 agents because the dashboard makes you feel like a general commanding an army.

The average employee AI usage was 1.5 hours per week. The average CEO AI usage was less than one hour per week.

The enthusiasm has spawned an entire ecosystem of tools designed to make you feel like you’re running a company with AI agents.

37,000 lines per day. And this was the output.

Two prominent tech leaders, both publicly using the word psychosis. Both framing sleeplessness and obsessive agent usage as a feature of the moment rather than a bug.

It’s feeling like a new form of [AI psychosis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chatbot_psychosis).

The AI-generated image of Neukgu had prompted Daejeon city government to issue an emergency text to residents, warning them of a wolf near the intersection.

AI cannot replace human insight, creativity, and ingenuity

Claude Code has led to a large increase in Show HN projects. So much, that the moderators of HN had to restrict Show HN submissions for new accounts.

Is this bad? Not really, just uninspired. After all, validating a business idea was never about fancy design, and before the AI era, everything looked like Bootstrap.

We have discovered a new way to think about large numbers and their anatomy. It's a nice achievement. I think the jury is still out on the long-term significance.

Claude Design gives designers room to explore widely and everyone else a way to produce visual work.

The Meta cuts are the inverse. When one person with the right AI tools can do the work of 10-to-15 people, the person most at risk isn't the one using the AI. It's the one whose job description overlaps with what AI now does by itself.

If 90% is AI, do we even need a team?

Companies and investors put $6.1 billion into humanoid robots in 2025 alone, four times what was invested in 2024.

AI has already helped people work faster on their own, but many of the most important workflows inside an organization depend on shared context, handoffs, and decisions across teams.

to stand out from the AI-generated pack we will need to become so weird and unexpected as to be off-putting to most people

We will continue improving the model's biological reasoning, expanding support for tool-heavy and long-horizon research workflows, and working closely with leading scientific institutions to evaluate real-world impact.

that are the foundation of an ecosystem crucial to researchers, entrepreneurs, and policy advisors.

Fields that are not exposed now will become exposed in the future

New AI models, especially those from Anthropic,have triggered a new set of actions for how we build and secure our products.

Sally Li, a representative at a makeup packaging company in Wuhan, China, says her firm has started writing more detailed product descriptions and adding information about its equipment and manufacturing experience on Alibaba.com because it suspects those details make its listings more likely to be surfaced by AI.

A founder in LA reportedly scaled Medvi toward $1.8B in annual sales with basically one full-time employee.

Arle LommelArle Lommel • Following • Following Senior Analyst at CSA ResearchSenior Analyst at CSA Research 3d • Edited • 3 days ago One of the most interesting aspects of writing about AI and LLMs right now is that if I say anything remotely positive, some people will accuse me of being a shill for Big AI. If I say anything remotely negative, others will accuse me of being insufficiently aware of the progress AI has made.So I will put out a few personal statements about AI that might clarify where I am on this:1. AI is not intelligent, at least not in the human sense of the word. It is a sophisticated tool for drawing inference from binary data and thus operates *below* a symbolic level.2. AI, at least in the guise of LLMs, is not going to achieve artificial general intelligence (AGI) now or in the future.3. AI is getting much better at *approximating* human behavior on a wide variety of tasks. It can be extremely useful without being intelligent, in the same way that an encyclopedia can be very useful without being intelligent.4. For some tasks – such as translating between two languages – LLMs sometimes perform better than some humans perform. They do not outperform the best humans. This poses a significant challenge for human workers that we (collectively) have yet to address: Lower-skilled workers and trainees in particular begin to look replaceable, but we aren’t yet grappling with what happens when we replace them so they never become the experts we need for the high end. I think the decimation of the pipeline for some sectors is a HUGE unaddressed problem.5. “Human parity” is a rather pointless metric for evaluating AI. It far exceeds human parity in some areas – such as throughput, speed, cost, and availability – while it falls far short in other areas. A much more interesting question is “where do humans and machines have comparative advantage and how can we combine the two in ways that elevate the human?”6. Human-in-the-loop (HitL) is a terrible model. Having humans – usually underpaid and overworked – acting in a janitorial role to clean up AI messes is a bad use of their skill and knowledge. That’s why we prefer augmentation models, what we call “human at the core,” where humans maintain control. To see why one is better, imagine if you applied an HitL model to airline piloting, and the human only stepped in when the plane was in trouble (or even after it crashed). Instead, with airline piloting, we have the pilot in charge and assisted by automation to remain safe.7. AI is going to get better than it is now, but improvements in the core technology are slowing down and will increasingly be incremental. However, experience with prompting and integrating data will continue to drive improvements based on humans’ ability to “trick” the systems into doing the right things.8. Much of the value from LLMs for the language sector will come from “translation adjacent” tasks – summarization, correcting formality, adjusting reading levels, checking terminology, discovering information, etc. – tasks that are typically not paid well.

Four databases of citizen science and crowdsourcing projects —  SciStarter, the Citizen Science Association (CSA), CitSci.org, and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars (the Wilson Center Commons Lab) — are working on a common project metadata schema to support data sharing with the goal of maintaining accurate and up to date information about citizen science projects.  The federal government is joining this conversation with a cross-agency effort to promote citizen science and crowdsourcing as a tool to advance agency missions. Specifically, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), in collaboration with the U.S. Federal Community of Practice for Citizen Science and Crowdsourcing (FCPCCS),is compiling an Open Innovation Toolkit containing resources for federal employees hoping to implement citizen science and crowdsourcing projects. Navigation through this toolkit will be facilitated in part through a system of metadata tags. In addition, the Open Innovation Toolkit will link to the Wilson Center’s database of federal citizen science and crowdsourcing projects.These groups became aware of their complementary efforts and the shared challenge of developing project metadata tags, which gave rise to the need of a workshop.
