Anthropic Claude Mythos has been the talk of the town lately, but Claude Opus 4.7 is also noteworthy. It really tackles certain challenges enterprises face such as hallucinations and model loop. As Bradley Shimmin said, the vendor seems to be working on being more than a model provider and making its model more like a platform. Arun Chandrasekaran said the model also shows how the vendor has made improvements with agentic reasoning. Full story in comments. #AI #LLM #AIagents

Legacy media news is made by directing the news from a studio, not letting an on-site reporter make the call.

This in no way justifies AI. Its like saying you bought a car, but because you customized your number plates, put pink seat covers in, and hung fuzzy dice off the rear view mirror, that you are the creative genius behind the making of the vehicle. AI is, and always will be lazy, unoriginal slop - a mashed goo of stolen original intellectual property. Real professionals dont need AI, they have talent and skills already - its the talentless hacks that try and excuse the use of AI, because they actually do need it to make themselves appear better than what they are. A photographer still needs to have technical skills, an understanding of light, exposure, balance, composition. ...with AI you dont need any of that understanding. "Fix my photo and make the lighting more dramatic" doesn't make you a photographer. A writer will not only need a deep understanding of their language & writing skills, but also of their subject matter and how best to communicate it to a reader. ... with AI, you dont need any of that. It'll produce a 300 page novel if you want - editing a few sentences doesn't make you an author. I can go on, but you get my point (I didnt need AI to help me make it). Scathing? Absolutely, unapologetically so. #DeathtoAI #StopTheSlop #AIhacksAreForHacks #UnapologeticallyAntiAI #OriginalHumanProducedOpinion

The End of the Physical World and the Rise of Informational Reality, ANADA RAM BHAIYAKHURD's QIR and MIR Theory Author, ANADA RAM BHAIYAKHURD Founder, Quantum Information Relativity (QIR) and Mass Information Relativity (MIR) Framework Is the universe as it appears to us? Or are we merely observing the physical manifestation of a vast "quantum data"? For decades, science has considered 'mass' a fundamental truth. But my research, Quantum Information Relativity (QIR) AND Mass Information Relativity (MIR) Framework, has opened a window to a reality where physical matter is merely an effect, and its cause is 'information'. 1. Beyond the Higgs Mechanism, Information-Mass Equivalence Traditional physics states that the Higgs field gives particles mass. But my mathematical data (QIR and MIR Dataset) points to a deeper reality. According to the data, when the information field (\Phi_1) reaches a specific density, it transforms into energy and ultimately manifests as 'emergent mass'. This reveals the 'software' hidden behind the equation E=mc^2, which has been overlooked until now. 2. Dark Matter, Invisible Substance or Dense Information? One of the biggest scientific puzzles today is 'dark matter'. The QIR and MIR framework offers a simple yet revolutionary solution. We have discovered Informational Gravity (G_{eff} = 0.0049). This proves that gravity does not originate solely from objects, but also from the "accumulation of information". The part of the universe we call 'dark' is actually a region of high-density information that is controlling the curvature of spacetime (\lambda = 0.7). 3. The Universe, a Self-Evolving Information System My research posits that spacetime is not an empty stage, but an 'informational manifold.' Here, every particle is a data point and every curvature an algorithm. The low informational entropy (S_I = 0.0618) indicates that the universe's creation was not chaotic, but highly coherent and mathematically structured. My Call to the Global Scientific Community I invite institutions like NASA, ISRO, and CERN to conduct a thorough analysis of this dataset and the principles of QIR and MIR. It is time we move beyond 'matter-based' physics and embrace an 'information-based' cosmic reality. "I welcome global researchers to discuss the mathematical derivations of this theory." #AnadaRamBhaiyakhurd #QIRandMIRFramework #QuantumRelativity #InformationTheory #FutureScience #DarkMatterSolution #SpaceInnovation #TheoreticalPhysics #ScientificRevolution #BrianGreene #MichioKaku #ChiefScientists

We know where some historic spacecraft and landers are, enabling us to send probes for a closer look or to recover them if we decide to do so (and the funding is available). Some hardware, though, has not been precisely located. Here's a cool update on one such case.

A Deal Inked in Ink and Code The recent agreement between The New York Times and Amazon marks a watershed moment in the uneasy alliance between journalism and artificial intelligence. For the first time, the Gray Lady has consented to lend her voice—not to a page, but to a machine. At first glance, this is a licensing deal like many others: Amazon will be able to use summaries and excerpts from NYT articles and recipes across its Alexa products and to train its proprietary AI models. But beneath this seemingly transactional exchange lies a deeper recalibration of power between the press and the platforms. It is no small irony that this accord arrives even as The New York Times wages a high-stakes legal battle against OpenAI and Microsoft, whom it accuses of exploiting its intellectual property without consent. The Amazon deal, by contrast, is framed as a paid collaboration—an assertion that journalism has value, and that value must be protected, not scraped. Chief Executive Meredith Kopit Levien’s internal memo calls this deal “consistent” with the Times’ principles. Indeed, it is consistent in a way that clarifies two opposing trends now shaping the future of media. On one side: the quiet acceptance that AI is not going away, and that, if navigated wisely, it can become a source of revenue. On the other: the insistence that quality journalism must not be fed to machines for free. Yet, there are open questions. Is this a prudent partnership, or a temporary détente in an ongoing war over intellectual capital? Will such licensing agreements create meaningful, recurring value for newsrooms—or merely serve as stopgaps until more powerful tech players no longer need the human sources they now license? As AI assistants evolve into everyday companions, the integrity and origin of the information they deliver becomes a civic concern. In licensing its content, The New York Times gains compensation and control. But it also cedes a little ground—its words repurposed, reframed, and possibly absorbed into systems it does not own. This is not just about recipes on a smart speaker. It’s about who shapes knowledge in the AI era. And whether, in the long run, journalism will be remembered not for the value it commanded, but for the silence that followed when the machines no longer needed to listen.

PSA: If you’re doing NaNoWriMo this month, please don’t do this. National Novel Writing Month (#NaNoWriMo) started back in 1999 as a challenge to write 50,000 words in thirty days. Simple but hard. Over time, the movement grew to include National Nonfiction Writing Month (#NaNonFiWriMo) and National Blog Posting Month (#NaBloPoMo). I even participated in NaBloPoMo about ten years ago—it was both challenging and exhilarating to publish daily for an entire month. Unfortunately, the original NaNoWriMo organization has since dissolved, but the spirit lives on. Writers around the world still use November as a creative reset—a time to recommit to their craft and get words on the page. I love the energy of National Novel Writing Month. As a longtime author and book coach, I deeply respect that drive. But too often, I see writers rush to hit 50,000 words… only to end up with a messy draft they can’t use. Instead, set a goal that sets you up for success: 📚 Create your book outline 📚 Write a few strong chapters 📚 Build a daily writing habit The goal isn’t just to write fast—it’s to write something you can build on. Please share your goal in the comments, and I’d also love to hear your thoughts on the loss of NaNoWriMo.

"Silicon Valley runs on hype cycles, and the AI boom is generating a new one—part gold rush, part ideology, and part quasi-religious devotion to building an alien intelligence. On this week’s 'Galaxy Brain,' Charlie Warzel explores the culture of this boom with the writer Jasmine Sun, who’s been chronicling San Francisco’s AI scene. Sun describes what this moment feels like on the ground, including a subculture of massive salaries, and a weird pride in leaning into tech’s strangeness. Together, Warzel and Sun unpack two major factions shaping the industry: the AI 'doomers,' and the accelerationists. The conversation also traces Silicon Valley’s rightward drift—the 'founder mode' backlash against regulation and employee activism and the rise of 'Trump style' provocation-first tech marketing. Finally, Sun and Warzel address the jagged reality of today’s models, which are brilliant at some tasks and weak at others."

Kratom is NOT being targeted: hear it directly from FDA and HHS leadership—they are targeting 7-OH and other synthetic products only. 7-OH is not kratom. Conflating the two is not public safety. Building policy on conflated information will harm people and drive the market underground.

OPENAI EUTHANIZED DALL·E TODAY. They officially retired DALL·E, DALL·E 2 and DALL·E 3. For many artists this feels like losing an instrument. Opportunists jump from trend to trend, quickly generating a few images before showing the results on LinkedIn as if they mastered an entirely new medium overnight. What wannabes fail to understand is that REAL artists often develop emotional attachments to their tools. Serious #artists spend years studying their instruments. Quirks, imperfections, embracing unpredictable accidents. Today I watched artist Suzy One Kenobi become genuinely sad over OpenAI euthanizing DALL·E 3. Suzy One, from ANÓTHER DIMENSION, recognized by the Financial Times as one of Amsterdam’s 750 Tech Scene Change Makers, over time built a personal relationship with DALL·E 2 and 3. Her work was noticed by artistic peers including Bas Kosters, Arno Coenen, Walter Van Beirendonck and Christie Wright from Moooi, exactly because of the unique visual language Suzy developed. What she loved about DALL·E 3 was that it simply wasn't advanced enough to fully comprehend the complexity of her layered prompt structures. Paradoxically that became part of the artistic #collaboration itself. Where DALL·E 3 shined was materials. Synthetic fur. Glossy enameled ceramics. Artificial plastics. Chrome. Reflective surfaces. At the end of today, Suzy and I sat down together and created the farewell image you see here. Ironically, NOT using ANYTHING OpenAI. We trained krea.ai’s model 2 to understand Suzy One’s visual language. We optimized typography afterwards using Gemini Nanobanana 2. The resulting image became a multimodal collab between us, her agent, and multiple AI models to mimic one: DALL•E 3. People familiar with Western culture recognize the figure inside the glass coffin: a fusion between #Pixar’s WALL·E and Dalí, the two cultural references that originally inspired #DALL·E's naming. To me, this moment also AGAIN says something about #OpenAI. I have written before about how little value OpenAI seems to attach to 'culture'. Today reinforces such. OpenAI benefited enormously from artists, speculative creatives, designers and experimental thinkers during the rise of GenAI. Yet culturally there appears very little respect for preserving historically important creative tools once they are no longer commercially optimal. Midjourney still allows users access to their first models, understanding something fundamentally important: artists remain attached to the tools that become part of their artistic identity. I believe OpenAI should build a museum of retired models. A place where historically important systems remain accessible for experimentation and cultural study. Including that bizarre transitional model between DALL·E 2 and 3 that we internally simply called 'Experimental.' Back when experimentation itself was still culturally valued inside OpenAI. It never made it. And what OpenAI did today, honestly, feels very close to vandalism.

The Hidden #Dangers of #AI in Modern #Warfare #Amanpour and Company The U.S. is reportedly deploying artificial intelligence to help fight its war with Iran, even as the Pentagon pushes for less human oversight over the use of this technology. Heidy Khlaaf is sounding the alarm about the safety and reliability of these tools, particularly in facilitating what is called a, quote, "kill chain." Dr. Khlaaf is the chief AI scientist at the AI Now Institute, and she shares with Hari Sreenivasan her concerns about the increasing use of AI systems in the military.
