Safety

Recent AI-safety developments range from cyber tests and restriction bypasses to researchers leaving major labs over familiar concerns. China continues to reject calls to slow development. source

AI numbers

Reported lab financials and delayed IPO plans underscore how uncertain future token prices, model pricing power, and training costs remain. Ambitious long-range revenue and cash-flow figures should be read as illustrations rather than forecasts.

The week in AI

Meta’s consumer agent reached the top of US app stores as the company expanded it to the Mac, while several other agent, hardware, advertising, and policy moves illustrate rapid experimentation across the sector. The author questions whether this activity is yet mainstream. source

AI kill chains

A report on a US strike attributes the fatal chain of errors to outdated intelligence, time pressure, and unchecked automated analysis. The episode shows how reliance on AI can compound longstanding operational failures.

The Clarity Act appears unlikely to pass, leaving competing ideas about blockchain regulation unresolved. The author sees blockchain chiefly as financial plumbing but acknowledges the industry’s argument that existing rules did not fit it cleanly. source

EU social bans for kids

The EU is considering a broad restriction on children’s access to social media and online games. The author remains ambivalent, arguing that evidence of general harm is weak and conflicted. source

Roblox unbundles the platform

Roblox plans to let creators turn experiences and games built on its platform into standalone apps. The move would extend its reach beyond the core social platform. source
