Major insurers including AIG, Great American, and WR Berkley are asking U.S. regulators for permission to exclude AI-related liabilities from corporate policies. One underwriter describes the AI models’ outputs to the FT as "too much of a black box."

Make MTG mean Magic: The Gathering again

This is extraordinarily shitty

Saw this in my bike commute this morning. Local companies are now using AI backlash to advertise. (I do not know this company and I make no endorsement)

Disney+ claims they will soon have genAI user generated content. Curious to know how they are guardrailing www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

Fei-Fei Li’s Worldlabs.ai releases their Marble Labs model and tools. They predict meshes that can be re-styled. Smart. And predictable. It helps solve the predictive impermanence issues with pure pixel-to-pixel world models and it’s going to work with how far engines already work.

Key points in new Cornell Tech research: 56% of Grokipedia entries carry the Wikipedia CC license, suggesting wholesale ingestion Grokipedia’s top 100 sources include fewer news outlets and more UGC (e.g. LinkedIn scraping) Grokipedia has fewer citations overall, making it harder to check sources

LLMs are now widely used in social science as stand-ins for humans—assuming they can produce realistic, human-like text But... can they? We don’t actually know. In our new study, we develop a Computational Turing Test. And our findings are striking: LLMs may be far less human-like than we think.🧵

This is the best parody of the AGI2027 report to date. Unintentionally from the Dallas Fed

In the middle of debugging, Claude told me that a file was corrupted and then, in all caps, that this was VERY DANGEROUS, to BACKUP EVERYTHING and contact IT for help. It was all made up. The file was fine. There was no problem. WTF Claude

How many of these will we have before we do something about it?

The Chinese Kimi K2 thinking model beats GPT and Claude on some benchmarks. This analysis from @natolambert.bsky.social is a good overview iew of what is going on www.interconnects.ai/p/kimi-k2-th...
