My feed was recently clogged up with news articles reporting that Sam Altman thinks that AGI is here, or will be here next year, or whatever. I will refrain from giving even more air to this nonsense by linking to the stories. This kind of irresponsible hype-generation drives me nuts (although it also drives up stock prices so I can see why the tech bros are motivated to do it). Sure AI can have a good crack at undergraduate mathematics right now, and sure that’s pretty amazing. But our universi

What happens when you feed AI nothing

theverge.com Franklin Schneider 2026-03-13 23:07:30

If you stumbled across Terence Broad’s AI-generated artwork (un)stable equilibrium on YouTube, you might assume he’d trained a model on the works of the painter Mark Rothko — the earlier, lighter pieces, before his vision became darker and suffused with doom. Like early-period Rothko, Broad’s AI-generated images consist of simple fields of pure color, but they’re morphing, continuously changing form and hue. But Broad didn’t train his AI on Rothko; he didn’t train it on any data at all. By hack

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy tells workers: AI will replace some of you

A hot potato: CEOs love to sing the praises of generative AI while tiptoeing around the fact it's going to cost people their jobs. But Amazon boss Andy Jassy has just said the quiet part out loud, admitting that the technology will reduce the company's corporate workforce over the next few years. In a message sent to employees this week, Jassy said generative AI was a "once-in-a-lifetime" technology that completely changes what's possible for customers and businesses.

Pope Leo makes AI’s threat to humanity a signature issue

techcrunch.com Rebecca Bellan 2026-03-14 06:05:31

In Brief Pope Leo XIV is making the threat of AI to humanity a key issue of his legacy, challenging the technology industry that has spent years courting the Vatican. The new American pope’s namesake, Leo XIII, stood up for the rights of factory workers during the Gilded Age, a period in the 19th century of swift economic change and extreme wealth inequality led by corrupt industrial robber barons. Speaking to a hall of cardinals last month, the pope said he would rely on 2,000 years of churc

Preparation of a neutral nitrogen allotrope hexanitrogen C2h-N6

Everything to Remember About ‘Foundation’ Season 2 Ahead of Season 3

Foundation season three will pick up 152 years after the end of season two, which means a new set of supporting characters is on the way. However, given Foundation’s fondness for clones (be they organic or digital) and robots—as well as people who endure extended cryosleep—all the main faces will also be back. That time jump will advance the action to a time of great unrest, as predicted in season two by Gaal Dornick (Lou Llobell) using a combination of mathematics, the “prime radiant” quantum

Few icons in digital design have sparked as much debate over the last decade as the hamburger.
