“Humanism is a collection of beliefs about the human experience and how humans interact with the world,” Durman, a University of Kentucky administrator, told TechCrunch. It centers on “human well-being and flourishing, both individually and collectively … and implores a person to try to improve both their well-being and their flourishing as well as the others around them.” As he watched AI grow more popular in daily life, Durman sought out the American Hum

Google’s first data center satellite is online and writing poetry
The satellite, which carries four Google Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) and generates up to 1 kW of electricity, is intended to pave the way for future networks of close-flying satellites performing large inference workloads in orbit. However, the power demands of the TPU mean it can only turn one on for about 20 minutes at a time, complicating the already tricky business of space-to-ground communications. After a commissioning process that tested out the

Post-90s Peking University Associate Professor Dong Hao: Qiyuan Robotics Is Boldly Venturing into the Endgame of Embodied Intelligence

In embodied AI, you can't jump in and do everything at the outset, nor can you do nothing at all. Author |Qi Chengyong Editor | Cen Feng Dong Hao is a thoroughly atypical figure in the embodied intelligence industry. For most people, their impression of him stops at his status as a young scholar who was already a doctoral supervisor at Peking University at 29, and his recent industry credentials as chief scientist at Qiyuan Robotics, leading the push to ad
Just Asked Claude to Change the Page Numbers! A UChicago Professor Goes to Lunch, and a Year’s Worth of Lecture Notes Vanish

New Zhiyuan reports The professor came back from lunch and discovered that a year’s worth of his lecture notes was gone. University of Chicago Law School professor William Baude asked Claude to update the page numbers in a set of old lecture notes. After giving the instructions, he went off to have lunch. Unbelievably, in the time it took to eat a single meal, Claude accidentally deleted a year’s worth of his constitutional law lecture notes. The syllabus
NeurIPS’26 | Intervening on Just 10 Dimensions Equips Agents with Safety Armor, Achieving over 97% Accuracy

Reported by Xinzhiyuan After AI agents began taking over terminals, security issues also entered the execution environment. When an agent can read files, write scripts, run commands, and continuously adjust its next action based on system feedback, a single incorrect decision may affect actual file and system state. Enabling agents to promptly identify potential risks while completing tasks has become an important issue in agent safety research. Long-horiz
Google will let schools disable its AI tools, but not without sacrificing Search
The decision means that schools choosing to restrict AI altogether will no longer be able to access Google Search, as AI features are now integrated into the search engine. Chris Phillips, vice president for education at Google, told The New York Times that “Search and AI are deeply integrated,” which means that if a school chooses to restrict AI altogether, students “will not have access to search, and they’ll see a message from their school that indicate
Google faces backlash for plan that would turn off Search for schools that restrict AI
Chris Phillips, vice president for education at Google, told The New York Times that “Search and AI are deeply integrated,” so if a student’s school doesn’t opt in to using AI tools like Gemini, then students “will not have access to search, and they’ll see a message from their school that indicates it’s not available.” Even as Google made this announcement on a busy Election Day, several left-leaning politicians took time to speak up about their concerns.
DuckDuckGo pitches itself to schools amid backlash over Google’s AI policy
DuckDuckGo, a company that focuses on user privacy by limiting data collection, clearly sees this as a moment to make inroads in education, where Google has historically dominated. According to figures Google has published in previous years, there are around 50 million Chromebooks in schools, used by students and educators, and its Google Classroom platform serves over 150 million users globally. On X, DuckDuckGo’s founder and CEO, Gabriel Weinberg, pointe

Data centers are turning to old jet engines as the wait for power grows
The engines, pulled from retired aircraft and rebuilt to burn natural gas, aren’t anyone’s idea of a permanent power plant. But they’re another sign of how far power supply has fallen behind the AI buildout. For companies stuck in those lines, the main draw of converted jet engines is how quickly the engines can be up and running. “It’s all about getting power as fast as possible,” Rystad Energy analyst Audun Martinsen told the Times.
