AICNBC's Jim Cramer said Thursday's AI stock sell-off, which followed a Financial Times report that OpenAI's annualized revenue was about $20 billion below previously signaled levels, shows why investors need diversification. Oracle fell 5.5% and Broadcom dropped 4.35%, while Home Depot rallied as Treasury yields eased. Cramer argued that concentrated portfolios risk panic-selling and missing a recovery.

AIThe AI-mperor has no clothes

AIFrançois Chollet argues that most AI progress measures from 2023 to 2026 fit an exponential curve, while AI capital expenditure over the same period has grown slightly super-exponentially. He concludes that such externally funded growth is unsustainable, so sustained exponential progress will require matching exponential profits to close the resource loop.

AIGergely Orosz argues that people chasing AI tools and scheduling software to look credible or influential are seeking shortcuts that don't exist. He says trust in a person or company cannot be gained through shortcuts, building on Lulu Meservey's point that credibility has become the scarcest resource.

AIPaige Bailey, who works on Google and Gemini, argues that building tools for humanity requires building them in collaboration with people. The quoted post from Pushmeet Kohli says Google DeepMind has focused on deep collaboration with the mathematical community to advance mathematics.

AIMIT Statistics and Data Science Center director Sasha Rakhlin argues that AI progress is fastest where results can be verified quickly, citing a model reaching gold-medal level at the International Mathematical Olympiad a year before models produced new research results. He says departments should reconsider how they reward work, emphasizing question-asking, replication, and disclosure of AI's role in a researcher's contributions. He also urges universities to build shared lab infrastructure that captures failed experiments and tacit expertise.

AIElon Musk's America PAC is spending millions on the most consequential Senate races of the 2026 midterms, with most of its money opposing Democrats rather than supporting Republicans. WIRED reports that for every dollar the PAC spent backing a Republican candidate, more than two went to oppose a Democrat. In Texas, the group has spent about $9 million attacking Democrat James Talarico versus roughly $1 million promoting Ken Paxton.

AIBen Tossell says "slop" is now also used to describe something just made that works, leaving its use to the reader. A reply from @forgebitz argues that much pre-AI code was also low quality.

AIYann LeCun compares AI to the invention of the boat, which reduced the importance of swimming but enabled the discovery of new lands. Kevin Weil highlights the analogy as a way to think about AI's opportunities and changes in mathematics and science.

AICarson Gross argues that programming is fundamentally about solving problems with computers and controlling the complexity of those solutions. He says he struggles to imagine a future in which those skills become less valuable, so he expects programming to remain a viable career despite AI tools.

AILauren Tan (@poteto) posts a short call for people to be far more ambitious. The post gives no specific project, metric, or context.

AIMuse (@Muse) posts a short joke that says "both priceless, only one of us is free," with no product, model, or figures mentioned. The post offers no concrete announcement or technical detail beyond the quip itself.

AIThe post says the approach is not domain-specific, which matters for Adaption AI because many of its datasets come from domains that cannot be verified. The method covers 44 domains that differ substantially and have their own nuances.

AISara Hooker reports that applying a checklist leads to consistent downstream training performance gains. The post gives no further details on the checklist, models, or benchmarks involved.

AIEthan Mollick observes that less than four years after an earlier model's debut, the Pope, leading mathematicians, and the U.S. President are all posting about its direct successor and its implications for humanity. The post does not name the models or specify what the successor does, so no details beyond this are supported.

AIZeta's conversation with Palantir CEO Alex Karp at #ZetaLive26 is now available to watch on YouTube. The discussion covered building the sovereign enterprise and where AI is taking business.

AIThe Association for Human Mathematics requires members to take three vows opposing AI use in mathematics. Members must not provide technical labor, knowledge, consultation, or publicity to commercial AI companies, and must not publish AI-generated mathematical texts, including papers, referee reports, and lecture notes. Members of its AI-free caucus also must not use AI models in research.

AILauren Tan argues that with frontier AI agents, anyone can produce code at machine speed, so PR volume now signals productivity alongside impact. She says the bottleneck is trust in agent output, and that higher token costs are worth it compared with hiring many engineers. She frames the engineer's job as building the software-producing machine rather than writing code directly.

AIJoshua Achiam recommends a critical reading for thinking about the future of cybersecurity. The post links to a follow-up by Matthew Green, who clarifies a widely shared earlier reply about the topic. The source provides no further technical details or figures.

AIAlex Gibney directs a four-hour documentary about Elon Musk, according to this review. The reviewer finds the film engaging but says it tends toward the hyperbolic.

The conversation, recorded live at the Snapdragon Summit in Hawaii, also covers 6G being designed for AI.

AINathan Lambert says he is about to discuss how open science can still address some of the hardest problems in AI safety and diffusion. He calls this the most complex engineering problem humanity has undertaken so far.

AIArtificial Analysis congratulated the launch of the ninth annual State of AI report, noting its benchmarks were featured throughout. The report, by Nathan Benaich, covers AI building better AI, world models, physical AI, geopolitics, cyber defense, and 12-month predictions.

AITessl's talk at AI Native DevCon London argues that agent skills, which can be markdown files with instructions and bundled material, act as supply chain components that can shape agent behavior. The author says reading SKILL.md once is insufficient because risks can sit in supporting files, updates, and workspace trust settings. He identifies the danger as the combination of private context, untrusted content, and external communication, and cites research scanning roughly 4,000 public skills for issues including malware-like behavior.

AIMuse, the AI assistant, read the headers of a phishing email, traced its spoofed domains, and drafted an AWS takedown report in about ten minutes. The post's author, @accuratetlm13, reports this after receiving the spam email, framing it as a warning to phishers.

AIArtificial Analysis reports that generating more output tokens does not necessarily yield a higher score. GPT-6 Astra (max) scored 8.6% using about 81k output tokens per task, while Grok 4.7 (xhigh) used roughly 180k yet scored lower. Three Claude models produced the most output tokens, about 202k to 562k per task, but scored between 2.8% and 6.4%.
