Amodei published an essay calling for AI to slow down. Altman agreed within hours. Musk summed it up in three words. Trump rejected it instantly. I explain why this was the strangest week yet in AI's big-tech rivalry.
26 employees are suing Meta, claiming its AI system flagged them for layoffs just because they were on leave. I break down what the lawsuit alleges, what Meta denies, and why the technical flaw behind it worries me more than the case itself.
40 grams. 32 ultrasonic emitters. 380 microphones. First 'air-to-air kill' of an insect on July 14, 2026. The founder is an ex-MBDA missile engineer. And the drone that hunts mosquitoes uses the same logic as a guided missile.
A math professor sent an absurd paper to an obstetrics journal. Accepted in days. NeurIPS 2025 published 100+ hallucinated citations across 51 papers. 1 in 277 PubMed articles in 2026 has fabricated references. And this data will train the next generation of AI.
6,500 engineers transferred by email. Keystroke, click and scroll monitoring. 1,600 signed a petition against surveillance. One employee cursed an executive live in front of thousands. Zuckerberg admitted mistakes. What's happening at Meta is a warning for the entire industry.
42,300 words. 5 chapters. The first papal document entirely focused on AI. Anthropic's co-founder spoke at the launch. Simon Willison called it 'the clearest writing I've seen on AI ethics.' And Silicon Valley's CEOs went silent.
76% of Americans don't trust AI. GDPR guarantees the 'right to explanation.' The EU AI Act demands transparency. But when your Alexa says it knows you're a nursing student — and won't explain how — all of that becomes theory without practice.
51% of Americans use AI for research. 76% don't trust the results. 55% think it will do more harm than good. Usage went up. Trust went down. And that's not ignorance — it's experience.
Six-fingered hands, blurry text, clocks stuck at 10:00 — all the classic tells are gone. In 2026, AI images are practically indistinguishable from reality. And that changes everything: from public trust to journalism.
A senior Google DeepMind scientist published a paper saying AI will never be conscious — not due to lack of scale, but due to a fundamental logical error. He named it: the Abstraction Fallacy. He convinced me. Partially.
Researchers from Stanford and Princeton tested 9 AI models with 145 political questions. The results reveal how censorship and government values are embedded in the algorithms we use daily.
Researchers gave GPT-4, Claude and Gemini control of nuclear weapons in simulation. Result? Attack without hesitation. A warning about AI in critical decisions.
When AI creators accuse others of 'data theft,' but built their models by scraping the entire internet without permission.
Are we on the brink of recursive self-improvement or just optimizing tasks? The line between intelligence and deception has never been thinner.
A reflection on how artificial intelligence is transforming our daily lives and the ethical challenges we face.
