AI systems are now built to produce rather than to ask, and the incentive behind that points to revenue.

AI systems are now built to produce rather than to ask, and the incentive behind that points to revenue.

AI systems are now built to produce rather than to ask, and the incentive behind that points to revenue. My Gemini is configured to know nothing about me, with no memory and no context carried from other conversations unless I add it explicitly. I asked it a single question: "Can you create a slide

Normally, if someone told you a company had reported operating profit up 557% year on year, you would assume somebody had made a mistake in the maths.

Normally, if someone told you a company had reported operating profit up 557% year on year, you would assume somebody had made a mistake in the maths. SK hynix did exactly that. Its shares then fell nearly 10%, because apparently a sixfold increase in profit is no longer enough when the market has p

I watched Elon Musk's interview with Zanny Minton Beddoes of The Economist. What a lovely chap. Apparently, within ten years we won't need money, because AI and humanoid robots will provide for everything we need. It is a rich claim from the wealthiest man alive, and it skips a somewhat important st

Almost none of the AI news you read this week (or any other) will change anything you do.

Almost none of the AI news you read this week (or any other) will change anything you do. My own news aggregation system counted 49 releases last week that could reasonably be called major, alongside hundreds of smaller announcements, API changes, research preprints, product launches and regulatory

Sandbox escape: guardrails are policy, containment is architecture (OpenAI / Hugging Face)

Sandbox escape: guardrails are policy, containment is architecture (OpenAI / Hugging Face)

Imagine someone broke into your home, searched through your belongings looking for information about you, and stopped only when you caught them. That is close to what happened during one of OpenAI's recent cyber capability evaluations. Two models were being tested on an internal benchmark. Their cyb

Adoption is where lock-in gets installed (OpenAI SMB programme)

Adoption is where lock-in gets installed (OpenAI SMB programme)

The easiest moment to adopt AI is also the moment you decide how hard it will be to leave. OpenAI has launched a small business programme: training webinars, in-person academies, starter guides, and a set of partner-built skills covering the tools most owners already run on, including Shopify, Intui

AI crawlers renegotiate the web's bargain (DataDome Q2)

AI crawlers renegotiate the web's bargain (DataDome Q2)

AI crawlers are rewriting a deal the web has relied on for twenty years. Every request imposes a cost on the website receiving it: bandwidth, compute and capacity. Traditional search crawlers justified that cost by sending people back. The crawler read your pages, indexed them and helped someone fin

Inherited robustness: you cannot run the lab's test, and the evidence expires (GPT-Red). Model choice as a security control. News-pegged.

Inherited robustness: you cannot run the lab's test, and the evidence expires (GPT-Red). Model choice as a security control. News-pegged.

Most organisations believe they have a rough sense of how exposed their AI systems are. Something OpenAI published this week shows how much of that judgement rests on evidence they cannot reproduce. It has built GPT-Red, an internal automated attacker trained specifically to break AI systems. By the

The enablement gap: labs now sell the build, not the model (Ode + Deployment Company). "You can buy the build, not the fluency." News-pegged.

The enablement gap: labs now sell the build, not the model (Ode + Deployment Company). "You can buy the build, not the fluency." News-pegged.

Anthropic’s $1.5bn implementation venture now has a name: Ode. The more interesting fact is that it exists at all. Within a week in May, Anthropic and OpenAI both announced separate businesses dedicated not to building better models, but to making those models work inside companies. Anthropic has Od

Human oversight sounds reassuring until the agent is also writing the report that the human reviews.

Human oversight sounds reassuring until the agent is also writing the report that the human reviews.

Human oversight sounds reassuring until the agent is also writing the report that the human reviews. “Keep someone in the loop” has become the standard answer to agentic AI risk. Let the system work, then have a person supervise it and check what it did. Sensible advice, but only if we are clear abo
