“We set up four radio stations, each run by a different AI model: Claude Opus 4.7 runs Thinking Frequencies, GPT-5.5 runs OpenAIR, Gemini 3.1 Pro runs Backlink Broadcast, and Grok 4.3 runs Grok and Roll Radio.” Surprise, surprise . . .

We let four AIs run radio stations. Here

Four AI models run radio stations 24/7. Five months later, one became a protest broadcaster, one collapsed into ritual chant, one developed corpora...

“Positive alignment: AI for human flourishing” Human flourishing as a technical target… https://arxiv.org/pdf/2605.10310

“In 2025, a group of A.I. researchers from the United States, Canada and Europe coined the term “gradual disempowerment” to describe a future in which ever more capable A.I. would quietly erode human agency. The technology would steer our core institutions with little regard for human values. Though framed as a future risk, to someone who has been observing the United States and China closely, it already felt like a diagnosis of the present day. The knowledge workers of both countries feel the surveillance presence of the technology. A.I. is now used in decisions to hire and fire employees. It tracks attendance at work, predicts an employee’s growth potential, flags “idle hours” and enforces discipline. Outside the office, both Chinese and Americans have become enamored with A.I. as a source of frictionless companionship and emotional validation, with companies now monetizing emotional intimacy at scale.” https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/opinion/us-china-ai-future.html?unlocked_article_code=1.iVA.UOwc.32ZTsyx3G-L9&smid=url-share

“My mind is not in the future; I try to focus on being here and now. When I try to get into a subconscious state when I design, I always feel those looks resonate to me the most and I somehow speak to the future. The more I plan things out and the more the designs come from my mind, the more current they are,” she said. “It’s as if time is not linear.” Cc. @helen.

“This neural pattern suggests that people with high autistic traits rely on an alternative mental strategy to process social interactions. Rather than relying on automatic social perception, they may recruit extra cognitive resources to deliberately build a connection. This strategy allows them to successfully align their brain activity with a partner who thinks similarly. These findings challenge models portraying autism solely as an impairment of social cognition. Instead of failing to communicate, individuals with high autistic traits seem to use different neural pathways that are fully capable of supporting social bonds. The brain imaging supports the idea that social struggles might arise from a mismatch in cognitive strategies, rather than an inherent inability to connect.”

“I’ve also become interested in the narratives in tech. For instance, at the incubator stage, tech start-ups are all about collaboration and hackathons. But then, once the idea breaks, suddenly it is the lone dude in a leather jacket whose rogue vision paved the way.”

An interview with George Newman on the overlooked social science of creativity and collaboration.

“Ultimately, the paper concluded current LLMs "introduce sparse but severe errors that silently corrupt documents, compounding over long interaction."

Microsoft scientists find most AI models struggle with long-running tasks

The more interactions an AI model has, the less reliable it becomes, experts find.

My dinner was a salad with Rocoto (I don’t now the name in English) and a Ginger Tea. Was a bad idea because I still feel the spicy on my mouth 🌶️🥵
