OpenAI's Sam Altman says it would be 'ill-advised' to go public in 2026
1 min read
While OpenAI has filed confidentially for an IPO, the company will not be going public this year, according to CEO Sam Altman. Altman was interviewed recently by Fortune editor in chief Alyson Shontell; amidst the fallout from the OpenAI-HuggingFace hack, as well as broader discussions about AI safety, Shontell asked whether OpenAI still feels pressure to “move really fast” due to its IPO plans. “...

Anthropic boss Dario Amodei calls for AI development to slow down The head of AI company Anthropic has called for the pace of development of artificial intelligence models to slow down and to be closely monitored. In an essay, Dario Amodei said developing AI was not in question, but the risks associated with it were "serious" and companies and governments must be given time to address them. The bo...
Is it time for a Luddite Renaissance?
1 min read
Is it time for a Luddite Renaissance? Calling someone a "Luddite" is usually an insult – shorthand for someone who is behind the times. But the real Luddites weren't just afraid of change; they were a labor movement fighting to save their jobs from being replaced by machines. Today, with the rise of AI, many feel the same kind of existential threat and some are even pushing for a Luddite Renaissan...
Nvidia is the central bank of AI
13 min read
It took thirty years for Nvidia, an American firm whose chips power much of the world’s artificial intelligence, to reach a valuation of $1trn. Getting to $2trn took only nine more months. It passed the $5trn mark less than two years after that. It is now the world’s most valuable company, worth around $5.4trn. Next year its sales are expected almost to double. Some analysts predict it will take i...

We must pace the frontier

We Must Pace the Frontier I have worked on AI for the last twelve years because I believe it could dramatically raise the quality of human life. I’ve written often about these incredible benefits: I believe that AI could cure most major diseases in the next 5–10 years, greatly accelerate economic growth rates, create a world of abundance and empowerment, and usher in a renaissance of democracy and...
A Mathematical Framework for Transformer Circuits (2021)

Transformer One avenue for addressing these issues is mechanistic interpretability, attempting to reverse engineer the detailed computations performed by transformers, similar to how a programmer might try to reverse engineer complicated binaries into human-readable source code.

A US-linked network of fake websites is promoting Alberta separatism to AI chatbots

Canada’s National Observer has discovered a network of deceptive, AI-generated websites promoting Albertan separatism.

Two of the websites claim that the vote will take place on Oct. 26 – one week after the actual referendum ...

I kind of crashed out this week. Not in an explosive, dramatic way, but an implosion, a collapsing of the self, my resolve and motivation crumbling into the mush you get when you put tissue paper through the laundry.

Google stole open source code without crediting the authors (Artemis/Minitap)

I was in the office with the team when we heard that Google had released Artemis, a project for automating mobile devices. We opened the repository and started looking through it.

The EPA is planning to scrap public review rules for data center pollution

Americans don’t agree on much, but that’s not the case when it comes to data centers. Seven in 10 Americans oppose building data centers for artificial intelligence in or near their communities. Despite this, the federal government is moving to make it easier for them to be built. And in some places, residents won’t even get the chance to raise concerns publicly or even know if a data center is co...
A misalignment of AI in mathematics

Over the last few months, the mathematical capabilities of LLMs have improved dramatically, to the point that they can solve major outstanding problems in many fields of mathematics.

If coding is solved, what now?: Measuring the sloppiness of code LLMs have become almost perfect at generating code, but that isn’t the end of the story.
