Sam Altman touted GPT-5 as a “PhD level expert in your pocket”, but this PhD doubled down on incorrectly answering the oldest trick for LLMs in the book.

There aren’t many writers who you’d give top billing to over the cast, director, or intellectual property. But most writers aren’t David Koepp. Koepp may not be a household name, but his films are. He’s written the scripts for Jurassic Park, Mission: Impossible, Spider-Man, the last two Indiana Jones movies, Death Becomes Her, Panic Room, and more.

Perhaps a more revealing aspect of the Manifesto was the claim that: “Before the Portuguese discovered Brazil, Brazil had discovered happiness.” This statement conferred a local imprimatur on a vision that applied, and perhaps still applies, in Europe and North America of far-off Brazil as a kind of natural and human paradise, a place not only abundant, tropical, and permissive, but also one where race has become unimportant — a fantasy, of course, but one worth holding on to.

Expert Says Collapse of Human Civilization Looks Like the Most Likely Scenario

New research is warning that the most likely outcome is that human civilization is poised for collapse. As The Guardian reports, a sweeping new historical survey that analyzes 5,000 years and the collapse of more than 400 societies makes the case that we're in for a rude awakening.

These protocols will help AI agents navigate our messy lives

What should these protocols say about security? Researchers and developers still don’t really understand how AI models work, and new vulnerabilities are being discovered all the time. For chatbot-style AI applications, malicious attacks can cause models to do all sorts of bad things, including regurgitating training data and spouting slurs. But for AI agents, which interact with the world on someone’s behalf, the possibilities are far riskier. For example, one AI agent, made to read and send e
