In May, a group of about 40 people stood in a circle deep within the Pyramid of Khafre, the second-largest of the three pyramids looming over Egypt’s Giza Plateau, holding hands and praying for Earth. Suddenly, their tour guide, an American mathematician and author named Robert Edward Grant, collapsed. He later described the experience in an interview with WIRED as a full-body electric shock emanating from somewhere beneath the chamber’s stone floor. “I felt electricity coming through my hands,

Leah Feiger: I think the thing that really got me about this study and from Will's excellent write-up is that the main thing that you do in these entry-level jobs is figure out how to be a real human and how to live in an adult world and how to respond to emails and show up places on time.

OpenAI is working on a new feature called the Thinking effort picker for ChatGPT. With the Thinking effort picker, you can choose how hard ChatGPT can think. When a model thinks harder, it doesn't necessarily mean a great response. You might not want the model to think harder when you're not sure what to do tomorrow. However, you may want the model to think harder when you're working on a complex topic, such as econometrics, bond valuation, healthcare and so on. As spotted on X, OpenAI is te

How much would you have to get paid to spend any amount of time with Mark Zuckerberg? For some of the folks who have joined Meta’s AI team, millions of dollars simply is not enough. According to a new report from the Financial Times, the Meta AI lab is such a mess (and presumably, Zuck is such a bad hang) that recent hires have threatened to quit within days of joining, and promotions have been handed out just to keep people from leaving.
