Meta's New AI Is Creepy, But Not For the Reason You THINK

Meta's Muse is apparently an effective AI assistant, but one that's a little creepy. Part of that is because of its new Mac app, which can access Messages, Calendar, and Notes. But for all its smarts, Muse doesn't actually know how to describe itself. Jason Aten, a contributing editor at Inc Magazine, posted on Threads screenshots of an interaction he had with Muse in which the assistant asks him some questions about a conversation he was having in Messages. The problem is that Aten says he did

Why China Just Fired Back at America's AI WARNING

Beijing believes slowdown calls aim to lock in US advantage, and is pursuing a different balance between safety and pace About two years ago, education entrepreneur Boris But had what he calls a “penny-drop moment” – that, like countless others in China, his company needed to embrace AI before it was made obsolete by it. His clients, well-off parents looking to send their children to study overseas, had begun arriving in his office reeling off information and opinions gleaned not from rival firm

Why AI Was Supposed to Save Time But Is Making Us Work MORE

This year, I’ve been building an AI social media production pipeline to promote the 25+ shows on the Autistic Culture Podcast Network. It took me a week of effort, but I managed to program Claude Code to talk to NotebookLM, which now feeds our YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok pipeline, and a task that used to take me a full day now runs in the background. The first time I ran a real batch through it, I felt the guilt of always being behind fade away. I could physically feel my nervous system recal

The Hidden Reason You Can't TRUST AI's Answers

I recently typed a simple question into Google search: How much screen time is too much for teenagers? Instead of presenting links, as Google had been doing for many years, it gave me an AI-generated answer. The artificial intelligence agent cited a number, then complicated that reply, noting that quality and balance of time could matter more than the number of hours, and that “too much” time could depend on a teenager’s sleep, exercise, school demands, and mood. I tried another search: Should I

The Hidden Advantage Big AI Labs Don't Want You to Know About

Some investors, analysts, and industry watchers believe the big AI labs, especially Anthropic, are taking advantage of the current AI safety scare by inviting regulations that only the largest labs can easily comply with. The AI safety concerns are real, but the financial burden of complying with the proposed regulatory solutions would conveniently entrench the big labs, the thinking goes, while putting smaller labs and open-model developers at a serious disadvantage. In this light, the recent s

The REAL Threat to Our Energy Grid Isn't What You Think

Before recent high-profile hacks raised the specter of AI possibly "killing all humans," our energy systems were already disturbingly vulnerable to cyberattack - and the risk is growing. "We were always prey. We were just kind of surviving at the appetite of our predators," Joshua Corman, executive in residence for public safety and resilience at the Institute for Security and Technology (IST), told me last year. At the time, I was preoccupied with a Department of Homeland Security warning that

The Chrome Trick That Turns Your Browser Into a COMMAND CENTER

After the success of Backrooms, it looks like A24 is trying to cash in on yet another internet horror craze with a new installment in the V/H/S horror anthology series set in the SCP Foundation universe.
