Meta is planning to pump billions more into AI investments this year, despite noting that millions of users have seemingly started to abandon its platforms. In an earning call on Wednesday, Meta reported that figures for "Family daily active people" - the term Meta has coined for all collective users of Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, or Messenger - declined by 20 million this quarter compared to the previous three months. Meta attributes this fall to "internet disruptions in Iran, as well as a restriction on access to WhatsApp in Russia." It's up to you whether you take Meta on its word, give...

OpenAI is preparing to launch a new frontier cybersecurity model, GPT-5.5-Cyber. CEO Sam Altman said the model will not be available to the general public, but will be first rolled out to a select group of trusted "cyber defenders" in order for institutions to shore up their cyberdefenses. The limited rollout will take place "in the next few days," Altman said on X. "We will work with the entire ecosystem and the government to figure out trusted access for Cyber." It's not clear who will get access to the model first, though previous "trusted access" schemes involved vetted professionals and ...

Google says it respects user privacy in AI, but the reality is not so black and white.

It's been almost three years since Silicon Valley started aggressively pushing large language model-based chatbots like ChatGPT as the supposedly inevitable future of everything, and there's no group that has felt the pressure quite like Gen Z. Like with many tech trends before it, it's no surprise that young people are among the biggest adopters of AI chatbot tools. But contrary to the tales spun by tech companies like OpenAI and Google, polling data shows that Gen Z students and workers are a big part of the wider cultural backlash against AI. And even as they utilize these tools, vast swat...

Just when I thought this new AI Wellbeing paper couldn’t get any deeper... they tested whether the model’s own “functional wellbeing” score actually moves when users describe pain or pleasure - not just the user’s pain, but other people’s or even animals. When the conversation talks about suffering, the AI’s wellbeing index drops. When it’s about something good, it goes up. And this effect scales super strongly with model size (they report a crazy r = 0.93 correlation with capabilities). They’re not claiming the AIs are conscious, but they argue we should take this functional wellbeing ser...

tl;dr: your skill in AI is a measure of your **quality** and **scale**. Use **success criteria** and **subagents** intentionally to get excellent results. Use skills and .md docs when you find repeating patterns in your daily work, not before. **---** **Quality** comes from telling the agent what outcome you want, and the **success criteria** that you will use to measure a “good” outcome. This helps avoid Claude's tendency to rush completion. Note this is specifically *not* telling it what to *do*, but instead what to *achieve*. If you come from the old world, you might remember terms like ...

I can have multiple, dense legal documents on my screen, each 40, 60, or 100+ pages each with the Claude Word add-in agents syncing, pushing and pulling information between them, pinging each other, and providing helpful context so that I can draft all three or four in parallel or ensure that an entire package is consistent. I can have a lengthy spreadsheet workbook open containing 10 worksheets and the information is analyzed and pulled in by the agents when needed. I am absolutely blown away at how well this is implemented and the improvement in quality, consistency and efficiency. It ...
