Way too many hours of AI programming. I enjoy talking about AI news, tools, and helping beginners learn more about the space. Newsletter: https://beginnersinai.beehiiv.com/
This is wild: someone created a simulated 19th-century utopian commune where every resident is an AI agent with their own personality, beliefs, and daily routines. The agents aren't following scripts. They're making real decisions, having philosophical debates, and running their community autonomously. It's a glimpse into how AI might help us understand human social flexibles. #ArtificialIntelligence #AIAgents #Simulation
New Anthropic research reveals Claude processes emotional concepts in surprisingly human-like ways. When the AI encounters words like "joy" or "anger," specific neural patterns activate that influence its entire response style. This isn't programmed behavior - it emerged from training. The words you use with AI shape how it "thinks" about your conversation. #ArtificialIntelligence #MachineLearning #AIResearch

Here's what researchers discovered about AI's impact on your brain:

Cognitive atrophy (your thinking skills getting rusty from AI assistance) is completely reversible. Like a muscle that gets weak but can be strengthened again.

Cognitive foreclosure (completely shutting down critical thinking) might be permanent damage.

The key difference: One is temporary laziness. The other is giving up thinking entirely.

Still early (expect rough edges).

Pika just shipped the first video chat skill for AI agents.

Their new model, PikaStream1.0, lets any AI agent join a video call with a face and voice. It keeps memory and personality across the conversation, and Pika AI Selves can run tasks mid-call.

This isn't a research demo. It's a real beta you can try right now.

Your AI assistant just went from a text box to a video call participant. No other company has shipped anything like this yet.(their site was still overwhelmed when I last tried)

Nearly half of US data centers set to open in 2026 face delays or cancellation, and the bottleneck isn't funding or permits. It's electrical components like transformers, circuit breakers, and batteries that make up less than 10% of a data center's cost but are manufactured overseas with long lead times.

Every AI company promising faster tools this year is running into this same infrastructure wall.

Almost Half of US Data Centers That Were Supposed to Open This Year Slated to Be Canceled or Delayed

The vast majority of data centers scheduled for completion over the next few years have yet to even break ground.

What's the weirdest thing you've asked ChatGPT? My friend asked it to explain how her cat judges her life choices. Someone else got relationship advice for their houseplants. Another person made it roleplay as their grandmother critiquing their grocery list. What's your strangest AI conversation? #ArtificialIntelligence #ChatGPT
Judges Are Using AI Now… But a Lawyer Says YOU Shouldn't

YouTube

Judges are using AI in court right now. A lawyer went viral explaining why you shouldn't try that yourself.

Also dug into Harvey AI hitting $11 billion and its connection to DeepMind's Nobel Prize-winning research.

Broke down all three stories in today's video.

More than 60% of federal judges now use AI in their work. Two recently approved AI-drafted orders with fake citations and made-up quotes.

There are still no nationwide rules requiring judges to disclose AI involvement in rulings.

Lawyers get sanctioned for AI errors. Judges face far less accountability.

Judges are increasingly using AI to draft rulings and prepare for hearings

Courts are also pursuing partnerships with legal vendors developing AI tools for judicial work.
