Two leading AI researchers wrote a book arguing that building superhuman AI will lead to human extinction. Their case: once AI surpasses us, there's no reliable way to control what it pursues.
Not everyone agrees. But the debate is worth following.

They're calling it the "Tilly tax." Negotiations resume this spring. Contract expires June 30.
Researchers paired lightweight sonar with AI to let small drones navigate in total darkness, no GPS or cameras needed. They copied how bats use echolocation.
Target use: caves, disaster zones, tight spaces where normal navigation fails.

New on the Engineering Blog: How we designed Claude Code auto mode. Many Claude Code users let Claude work without permission prompts. Auto mode is a safer middle ground: we built and tested classifiers that make approval decisions instead. Read more: https://t.co/dpcMcWMf5k
The inventor of deep learning just delivered a reality check: 99% of people use AI like a toy.
Yann LeCun (Turing Award winner) has a point. Most folks are still asking ChatGPT to write silly poems instead of using it to genuinely improve their work, learning, or problem-solving.
Time to graduate from AI playground to AI productivity.
