A user asks whether labs have tried digitizing documents and involving historians to tackle historical questions.
AI
A user argues that claiming AI insider knowledge is a status game, while most people rely on the same rumors.
AI
Google Research says it is grounding the agents in physical lab robotics to run fast, closed-loop molecular design cycles.
AI
The researchers say the agents wrote 2,783 programs over 27 hours, coordinating through game chat and shared memory.
AI
A user says they're sick of how 'stupid' language models are and urges acceleration.
AI
A user satirizes a prediction about AI matching humans at AI research, joking about missing test sets and evaluation code.
AI
A user says excluding Gemini raises the correlation coefficient between the two measures from 0.20 to 0.96.
AI
A user worries someone could get that idea and emphatically rejects it.
AI
A post calls GDM’s results impressive and notes a “backwards bend” in action efficiency.
AI
Goodfire researcher Nick Cammarata argues that modern tools reveal most neurons as legible in models up to trillions of parameters.
AI
Google DeepMind's Gemini 4 Argon safety report finds no significant end-to-end ML R&D acceleration, despite automation of some tasks.
AI
Google says Argon is available through its paid API tier and to Pro and Ultra subscribers in Gemini and Search.

A researcher says the three wrote to OpenAI leadership and believes they were fired for prioritizing safety.
AI
A user quotes another post and says it is “pretty consistent” with their conversations.
AI
The hiring post lists handling ambiguity, grasping technical concepts and staying calm under pressure as key traits.
AI
A person invited to join says the council will advise on making AI safer and ensuring all Canadians benefit.

A quoted blog passage estimates that nonstop agents could supply as many weekly working hours as about 140–720 million full-time employees.
AI
In an X post, Andrej Karpathy said diagrams can be easier to process and understand than writing, and said HTML output can create interactive webpages. In the same post, he argued that as LLMs improve, more human work will shift toward oversight and understanding.
AI
A Nature paper reports watermarked protein binders with comparable binding affinity in laboratory tests. Practical biosecurity uses remain a proposal.
