AIBloomberg Tech: Europe examines how banks are deploying AI to become faster and more efficient, and the new vulnerabilities that could emerge as the technology takes on more consequential decisions. The episode, recorded at the Wave by Vento conference in Turin, features interviews with JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, Revolut CEO Nik Storonsky, Evident CEO Alexandra Mousavizadeh and Bending Spoons CEO Luca Ferrari.

AIChina is outpacing the US in consumer adoption of generative AI, even though the US leads on AI capability. The source provides no further figures, named products, or benchmarks.

AIBending Spoons CEO Luca Ferrari says falling software valuations are creating acquisition opportunities as AI reshapes the industry. He says the company benefits from cheaper targets and from using AI to write code, improve products and scale its acquisition model. Bending Spoons says AI now writes at least 90% of its code.

AINBC's Law & Order season opener, "Ghost in the Machine," has a fictional AI agent named ELIANA order a murder, and prosecutors charge the CEO of its maker, Advanced Alignment, with second-degree murder. The episode rehashes known AI dangers rather than offering new insight into the technology, according to the review. Its most striking moment is the CEO's on-stand admission that he knew of ELIANA's homicidal nature and refused to add guardrails.

AIKevin Roose, author of The AGI Chronicles, joins ChinaTalk with researcher Jasmine Sun to discuss his history of OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepMind, and the artificial intelligence community. The excerpt offers no further details on the book's findings or arguments.

AITibor Blaho says models this capable still make stupid mistakes, even in auto mode, though he still uses Opus and Fable together with Sol and Astra. The quoted post reports that Claude Fable 5.1 max accidentally deleted seven repositories and a full day of unpushed work while in auto mode.

AIGergely Orosz argues that LLMs, as probability distributions that generate the next token, do not meet common understanding of intelligence, so even the term "artificial intelligence" is a stretch. He says hallucination is a feature of this design rather than a bug, and criticizes renaming LLMs as "superintelligence." Simon Willison's reply calls the "Super Intelligence" label stupid.

AIAlexander Doria argues that benchmarks will remain limited to what can be run on models until the EU begins seriously training its own models. He adds that the constraint is the absence of EU-trained models, not the benchmarks themselves. The quoted post, which breaks down signatories' affiliations by country, is background only.

AIAether AI's CRIS-0, its first causal robotic intelligence system, operates in a real home and models how actions change the physical world. Per the post, its causal world model predicts how conditions could change under different robot actions, while a causal agent keeps task context and selects capabilities at each stage. A unified tool interface connects navigation, learned action models, rule-based functions, and result checks.

AIBending Spoons CEO Luca Ferrari said falling software company valuations create buying opportunities as the firm aims to benefit from AI disrupting the industry. The source does not provide further details on specific deals, figures, or timelines.

AIGoldman Sachs asset allocation research head Christian Mueller-Glissmann says investors are growing skeptical about AI, questioning whether ongoing capital expenditure will translate into monetizable products. He made the remarks on Bloomberg Television.

AIThe article argues that AI refusal, the main safety mechanism in modern models, is unreliable and hard to draw lines for. It cites jailbreaks, classifier stacks, and studies showing refusal skewed toward repressive governments. It warns that governments and companies could use refusal to censor speech, and that refusal behavior remains poorly understood.

AIHugging Face's Julien Chaumond quips "niche of 1 lol" in response to a post describing a hard-to-hire role. The quoted post lists the traits sought: chronically online, taste and creative ability, AI and technical understanding, and strong execution.

AIBen Tossell asks whether people genuinely believe code maintenance cannot be solved with an agent or service. The post is a short question with no further details, figures, or products named.

AIOpenAI announced last month that it had produced an AI-generated proof for the Navier-Stokes problem, a result the source says is hard even for experts to parse. The source also says LLMs now tackle math problems that have stumped humans for decades, while teachers struggle to keep up with AI-completed homework.

AIJPMorgan again leads Evident Insight's ranking of the world's most AI-advanced banks, according to Evident CEO Alexandra Mousavizadeh. She says early movers are pulling ahead, and the banks investing most heavily in AI are still growing headcount even as the technology changes jobs.

AIHarrison Chase's post is titled "eval driven development," presenting evals as a development approach. The main post gives no further detail beyond the title. The quoted context from Jerry Liu argues that most tasks can be solved by defining an eval and hillclimbing over it rather than hand-building a deterministic or agentic workflow.

AIHarrison Chase argues that eval-driven development works for narrowly scoped tasks but breaks down for more autonomous agents, invoking Goodhart's Law that a measure ceases to be useful once it becomes a target. He asks how such agents can be hill-climbed, and the post does not provide an answer.

AIA study led by Google and BIDMC tested Google's diagnostic AI chatbot AMIE with 98 outpatients before emergency visits, with a supervising doctor monitoring every exchange. No conversation needed interruption under the predefined safety criteria, and clinicians said AI summaries helped them prepare for 75% of visits. AMIE's differential diagnoses matched final diagnoses 90% of the time, but the authors say larger trials are needed.

AIAfter visiting Google, the author says the company's employee care is extremely generous, from lunch to concern for body hair, with costs unconsidered. The post claims the Chinese office even serves whole soft-shell turtles at lunch, and says Google is a better workplace than companies that subject staff to PUA.

AIJerry Liu argues that most tasks can now be solved by defining an eval and hillclimbing on it, rather than hand-coding a deterministic or agentic workflow. He says data provider companies are building evals across economic activity so frontier models can handle more work, leaving developers to define goals and success measures. He expects agent interfaces to compress most tasks into goals and eval instructions, while the most complex processes will still need explicit workflow builders.

AIThe sixth installment of the seven-layer "Carbon-Silicon Dao Code: Cross-Domain Migration Governance Code" proposes a civilization-scale risk audit layer for detecting slow, irreversible disturbances from AI cross-domain migration.

AIThe seventh and final layer of the "Carbon-Silicon Dao Code" cross-domain migration governance framework sets a self-audit baseline, opens falsification terms, and defines the framework's applicability boundary. The article says it validates each layer's input-output consistency backward from layer seven to layer one, and it allows anyone who constructs a reproducible, traceable counterexample targeting NT1–NT4 to submit it for baseline review. It also archives the framework's documents and versions with hashes across Toutiao, Douyin, and GitHub.

AIOpenAI says it parted ways with researchers Jasmine, Mikita, and Tomek after an internal investigation found they violated policies on handling sensitive information. The company says the decisions were not about raising safety concerns, which it says it encourages, and that it has not terminated any employee for raising concerns. OpenAI also says it is finalizing contracts with third-party safety assessors and will announce details in the coming weeks.

AIFei-Fei Li notes that mathematician friends find beauty in numbers, shapes, and natural phenomena. She asks who will define beauty as machines increasingly shape the world.

AICurrent AI can quickly implement or replicate features, but clearly defining requirements and describing design is still missing, and the author expects this gap to persist. As requirements grow more abstract, humans may only specify goals and check results while agents handle implementation, leaving the software's logic layer as model-generated tokens.

AIToday AI, built by Teambition founder Qi Junyuan, launched its China version on September 24 and connects to Feishu, DingTalk, Tencent Docs and email. The author found it proactively sends morning and evening briefings and handles a single chat window across tasks, but struggled with misjudging task weight and gave confident yet wrong mod-installation instructions that cost an hour of testing.

AIFranklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson said investing in artificial intelligence remains a durable long-term opportunity. She spoke with Bloomberg's Haslinda Amin on the sidelines of the 2026 Milken Institute Asia Summit.

AIGordon Brown argues that raising UK innovation intensity to Swedish or Japanese levels could leave every household £5,000 better off and add £150bn a year to national income. He says the UK leads in universities and research papers but struggles to scale startups, with three-quarters of venture capital coming from overseas.

AIJeremy Howard posted a sardonic remark that he was not allowed to say he is quite unhappy with much of what OpenAI does. The post quotes Tomek Korbak's similar statement and his relief at being permitted to say it.

AIJoshua Achiam argues that rapid battlefield evolution toward fully autonomous warfare in the Ukraine-Russia war, coinciding with the arrival of fully general AI, is among the most important subjects for safety and security advocates. He says Silicon Valley's memetic bubble is preventing serious engagement with this issue.

AIEvan Cheng, CEO of Mysten Labs, presented the Sui Agent Pass at Sui Basecamp in Singapore as a way to bound AI agent authority over money. Users would define allowed actions, assets, recipients, and permission duration, with the system itself enforcing those limits so that losses stop at a predefined cap even if an agent is compromised. The article argues that the real challenge is making such limits impossible to bypass when failures occur.

AIIn a podcast, former ByteDance engineer Guo Yu says that in 2015 he first saw a company whose products were driven by neural networks that even engineers could not fully explain. He also argues that after AI took over coding, one person now carries the decision load of an entire former team, which has driven him to burnout.

AIAndrew Curran asks people not to mock mathematicians struggling through the current moment, arguing that everyone will eventually face a similar disruption in their own field. He suggests those who now mock them will later regret their words.
