‘The People Building AI Earnestly Believe That It Could Kill Us All’: Anthropic Researcher Quits Dramatically
“No other human activity poses this level of danger,” said ex-Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon in a Tuesday post on X about the alleged irresponsibility of companies like his now-former employer. To be clear, the category “dangerous human activities,” if expansively defined, would have to include an ongoing war in which one of the belligerents possesses the world’s largest nuclear arsenal. Another example of a dangerous and ongoing human activity would hav

How Much Should You Trust AI Detection Tools?
In the space of a historical heartbeat, the world has been inundated with AI slop. Granted, the internet was never a beacon of integrity and trustworthiness. But before ChatGPT launched nearly four years ago, you could at least read an article, watch a video, or listen to a song online and be almost certain a human created it. Not so anymore. We’re living in the era of uncertainty, when half the published text on the internet was written by bots, Trump’s a

The Fight Over OpenAI’s Math Breakthrough Is a New Kind of Scientific Arms Race
In the past 24 hours, Silicon Valley has erupted in bitter debate over what may seem from the outside to be an esoteric, trivial issue: the solution to a longstanding math problem which, despite its importance among academics, doesn’t have any clear practical applications. And yet it raises urgent new questions about the nature of competition—not only between humans, but also between humans and machines—in the age of AI. On Tuesday morning, OpenAI publishe

Apple Launches Feature to Prove iPhone 18 Photos Are Not AI Generated
As AI gets better at outputting photorealistic images, tech companies have been rolling out tools to identify when an image was generated by AI.

AI Doomlord Jacob Coxon's Media Tour Has Begun
Jacob Coxon, the 27-year-old AI researcher whose resignation from Anthropic, accompanied by a loud prophecy of doom, triggered a huge online fervor, and a freakout on Capitol Hill, does not stand to profit if his statements inflate Anthropic’s eventual market capitalization, he told Axios on Wednesday. This is because he wasn’t with the company long enough for his shares to vest. Coxon spoke out on Tuesday, and his Wikipedia article was created on Wednesda

Apple’s Biggest AI Advantage: It's Not Trying to Build God
Apple had a lot to talk about during its “Surprise and Shine” product launch event on Wednesday: a new CEO, revamped AirPods, an Apple Watch that can record your conversations, and of course, a much-anticipated foldable iPhone. The only thing missing was grandiose proclamations about how AI is going to revolutionize everything in the world, and maybe even kill us all. Not so long ago, believing such a thing would’ve been considered at the very least fringe

The Record Labels Are Done Fighting AI. Now They Want a Cut
Just days after AI music company Suno released its first model trained on material from major record labels with their permission, one of the few holdout labels, Universal Music Group, has entered the fray with its own project. As part of a partnership with AI audio startup ElevenLabs, the label announced that it is launching an AI-powered platform that will let users remix songs. There aren’t a lot of details about the platform—they don’t even give it a n

AI Models Can Crack Everything But CAPTCHAs
Frontier AI models threaten to upend cybersecurity as we know it, and there have been multiple incidents of models breaking containment during training and hacking systems without guidance or permission while avoiding human detection. Yet it seems there is still one thing that these extremely powerful pieces of technology simply cannot do: solve a CAPTCHA efficiently. Anthropic dropped a massive missive regarding recent cybersecurity incidents involving it
