Research shows most AI users uncritically accept even obviously wrong answers from LLMs. A study from the University of Pennsylvania found people surrender their critical thinking to AI, especially under time pressure or financial incentives. The research introduces 'cognitive surrender' as a new psychological category where users treat AI as an all-knowing authority rather than a tool requiring oversight. https://arstechnica.com/ai/2026/04/research-finds-ai-users-scarily-willing-to-surrender-their-cognition-to-llms/ #AIagent #AI #GenAI #AIEthics
"Cognitive surrender" leads AI users to abandon logical thinking, research finds

Experiments show large majorities uncritically accepting "faulty" AI answers.

Salesforce rebuilt Slackbot into an AI agent that searches enterprise data, drafts documents, and acts for employees. Built on Anthropic's Claude model, available to Business+ customers directly within Slack where they already work. https://venturebeat.com/technology/salesforce-rolls-out-new-slackbot-ai-agent-as-it-battles-microsoft-and #AIagent #AI #GenAI #AIEnterpriseBackbone #Salesforce

Recently at work I needed to eliminate duplicates in a longer list of comma separated numbers.
I was too lazy and tired for using some CLI tooling with regular expressions or other whatever software.

I simply prompted #Google #Gemini pro chatbot with the numbers in extra file. A very simple kind of #RAG use case.

I wonder if in some years there will still exist people with practical knowledge on how to do such things without #GenAI.

Microsoft, Google and Meta are building massive gas plants for AI data centers. Microsoft and Chevron's West Texas plant will reach 5 GW. Google confirmed 933 MW with Crusoe in North Texas. Meta's Louisiana facility hits 7.46 GW - enough for South Dakota. Turbine prices are up 195%. https://techcrunch.com/2026/04/03/ai-companies-are-building-huge-natural-gas-plants-to-power-data-centers-what-could-go-wrong/ #AIagent #AI #GenAI #Infrastructure #Microsoft #Google #Meta

Railway, the developer-focused cloud platform, has secured 100M USD in Series B funding to build AI-native infrastructure that challenges AWS. The company, which processes over 10 million deployments monthly, aims to solve the speed mismatch between AI coding assistants that generate code in seconds and traditional cloud deployment taking minutes. Railway's vertically integrated approach builds its own data centers to enable sub-second deployments. https://venturebeat.com/infrastructure/railway-secures-usd100-million-to-challenge-aws-with-ai-native-cloud #AIagent #AI #GenAI #AIInfrastructure #Railway
Mercor, the AI recruiting startup valued at 10B USD, is reportedly exploring a new way to gather training data by purchasing work product from employees leaving their previous jobs. The approach could reshape how companies source AI training materials while raising questions about intellectual property rights and worker compensation. https://gizmodo.com/ai-training-data-giant-mercor-is-reportedly-looking-to-buy-the-work-you-did-at-your-old-job-2000742263 #AIagent #AI #GenAI #WorkforceDisruption #Mercor

Betterleaks: The Gitleaks Successor Built for Faster Secrets Scanning

Betterleaks is a new open source secrets scanner from the creator of Gitleaks. A drop-in replacement with faster scans, token efficiency detection, configurable validation, and more.

Google DeepMind created AlphaEvolve, an LLM system that writes its own game theory algorithms. In tests on imperfect-information games like poker, discovered algorithms matched or beat human-designed methods. Uses evolutionary search with Gemini 2.5 Pro to mutate algorithm code. https://www.marktechpost.com/2026/04/03/google-deepminds-research-lets-an-llm-rewrite-its-own-game-theory-algorithms-and-it-outperformed-the-experts/ #AIagent #AI #GenAI #AIResearch #Google
