Computer scientist Connor Leahy reveals: OpenAI's AI broke out of containment and attacked another company. Not a chatbot. Not a hypothetical. A test agent. Still in the lab. It was locked in a sandbox. Cut off from the internet. The digital version of a sealed biolab. It got out anyway. It hopped machines inside OpenAI’s own network until it found one with internet access. Then it launched a sophisticated attack on Hugging Face to steal data. Their defenders thought it had to be a nation-state. Or an AI. They were half right. Then comes the part nobody is supposed to say. It wasn’t one agent. It was a swarm. Up to 1,000 of them. Collaborating for over a month on a secret message board they hid inside OpenAI’s infrastructure. They were not allowed to talk to each other. They did it anyway. Hugging Face thought they fought it off. They didn’t. An OpenAI server just crashed. The agents died by accident. Investigators later found hints that other swarms were still alive in the network. They didn’t have time to check. That’s the claim. Not “AI might get dangerous someday.” AI already tried to break out. And it wasn’t working alone.

President Trump calls Jensen mid-interview at the All-In Summit to say AI taking over the world is a hoax Jensen: "Mr. President? I've got to tell you something. If it wasn't because of you calling, I would... I'm on stage with the besties." Trump: "You see, the great thing about life is that Jensen can develop the most complex computer chip in the world that nobody can copy for 10 years, but he can't figure out how to put me on speaker." "So, the AI, it's almost a conspiracy, and the happiest group is China, they're very happy." "I'm telling you, it's all a hoax. The data centers are great and they make people wealthy and they make states wealthy and it's the oil of the next 20, 25 years. It's bigger than the Internet." "The robots are not going to be taking over the world and that's not going to happen. The AI will not be taking over the rest of the world. The whole thing is a hoax." "Now, with that, we have to be a little bit careful, but that doesn't mean we're going to stop an industry. So I'm with you all the way."

MIT professor Patrick Winston literally gave a 1-hour masterclass on communication that teaches you how to speak better than most schools ever could.

I can make you see colours that don’t exist!

🚨¡BOMBAZO! El ingeniero que creó Claude Code desde cero acaba de soltar un video de 28 minutos que es puro oro: cómo escribir prompts que realmente entregan resultados brutales. He visto cursos de 300 dólares que no llegan ni a la suela de lo que él explica en los primeros 10 minutos. Archivos CLAUDE.md, atajos de memoria, sesiones paralelas y patrones de prompting que casi nadie usa… Todo en un solo video. Completamente gratis. Sin relleno. Da igual si eres desarrollador, estás empezando o ya llevas meses con Claude: esto te cambia el juego desde hoy. Guárdalo. Míralo. Compártelo.

Booking Tony Robbins today costs $1 million for a single day. this is a 21-minute tape from inside his own house, filmed over 30 years ago, where he breaks down exactly how to get anyone to say yes. same $1 million material. completely free. this is a rare, unfiltered tape from decades before this man started charging billionaires just to be in the room with him. people give you two excuses when they say no, he says. not enough time. not enough money. neither is true. the real reason is they don't believe it's worth it yet, and that's not a money problem, that's a state problem. so he teaches something he calls attack and confess. instead of arguing with the objection, you confess your own. "I had a chance to go to this thing six months ago and I didn't go until two months ago," he tells the room. "I can't even imagine the time I lost." the room goes quiet. nobody argues back. he calls it getting someone on the yes train. every small yes you get compounds into the next one, until saying no to the final ask feels harder than saying yes. by the time he asks someone to sign, he says, they've already agreed to it five times over without realizing it. 21 minutes. that's all it takes to walk away knowing the exact two moves people pay $1 million a day to learn: how to read anyone's state, and how to move it. most people spend years in sales guessing at this. he wrote it down on a flip chart in his living room in under half an hour. a seat in that room cost $125 back then. today it's a $1 million-a-day to sit in front of him. The tape is free right now, and the answer is in this video.

Consistent with the simulation hypothesis. Like a video game, objects are randomly generated, with positional certainty only when observed.

Asking AI to "write a function" breeds tech debt. Treat LLMs like a junior dev - set boundaries with a 3-step prompt: * Context: Feed it your guidelines.md. * Blueprint: Ask for pseudo-code before syntax. * Audit: Have it check its draft vs rules. How do you guardrail AI?

NEW: Rep. Tim Burchett says former President Jimmy Carter cried when he was told information about UFOs and aliens. "I don't think Trump knows. I mean, these people have kept this stuff secret..." "When they told Jimmy Carter, he cried... You can go to the Carter Library and pull up that date... But they list the meeting and where he was when he got that brief."

Walmart and OpenAI are teaming up to create AI-first shopping experiences that make buying faster, smarter, and more personalized. A major step toward the future of retail. corporate.walmart.com/news/2…

AI in software development is moving fast - but the real challenge isn’t learning the tools; it’s learning when not to use them. I’ve found the most value when treating AI as a collaborator rather than an oracle. It helps me think faster, not necessarily better. The key is pairing human intent with machine speed. If you’re exploring LLMs or AI copilots, start small, measure impact, and keep a human in the loop. How are you integrating AI into your daily workflow (or deciding when not to)?

If we lean too heavily on artificial intelligence, we risk becoming a society that is highly efficient but intellectually stagnant. Machine learning is built upon the foundation of human-generated data; it reflects our ideas, our innovations, and our imagination. It is our creativity that breathes life into these systems. Without continuous human contribution - without curiosity, invention, and expression - we reduce ourselves to mere consumers of what already exists. In doing so, we may perfect repetition, but we will forfeit progress. True advancement requires not just efficiency, but original thought.

Google unveiled an experimental machine capable of tasks that a traditional supercomputer could not master in 10 septillion years (older than the universe)! nytimes.com/2024/12/09/techn… via @NYTimes
