Shutterstock / Prostock-studio AI tools continue to automate more parts of our lives — and in turn, we become more reliant on them. Students use ChatGPT to do their homework, programmers ask Claude to churn out code, and now regular folks are getting a taste of AI agents with the launch of Meta’s cutesy personal assistant Muse. If the trend continues, where does it lead? Some experts who spoke to CBS News worry that we’re on a path to slowly ceding more co

Expert Judgement Can Be Easily Hacked by AI, Anthropic Study Finds
We all like to believe we have complete control over our decisions. Ask most people how they chose their undergrad major, for example, or their career path or spouse, and they’ll probably give you a perfectly cogent response about how they weighed the relevant pros and cons and, after careful consideration, chose the best route accordingly. But as decades of cognitive science can attest, our decision-making processes are far from objective: we’re pushed an

At one point, a handful of protestors even scaled a massive construc

Recursive launches Flint, a laptop coding model it says was largely built by AI
Recursive’s automated research system, which it calls the Eureka Machine, helped with nearly every step of Flint’s development, the company says. That let a small team build the model from scratch in under four months. Flint is an early public test of recursive self-improvement: the idea that AI can build better AI, which in turn builds even better AI. It’s also one of the most debated ideas in the industry. Some researchers fear that AI improving itself c

Block’s new voice model sounds eerily human
Dessa is a full-duplex model, which means it can talk and listen at the same time, just like the GPT-Live model OpenAI released earlier this year. Typically, speech models are paired with a large language model for knowledge retrieval. Block said that Dessa’s knowledge stems from the conversational data it has. We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built
