As much as I appreciate the ingenious design of the Nintendo Switch's Joy-Con, my family and I can't stand using them as standalone gamepads. So when we travel with the Switch 2, we always bring at least one full-size gamepad, plus a couple of 8BitDo's Zero 2 controllers for games that don't use analog thumbsticks. […]

I live in Fort Collins, Colorado, a city often ranked among the best places to live in the US. Here's what people should see and do when they visit.
TL;DR: Access to AI safety talent & resources, particularly for labs during training, is sorely lacking in China. We created one of the largest AI safety communities in China , and plan to next start with auditing reward-hacks of unreliable upstream RL environments that domestic data vendors provide to Chinese frontier labs (which induces reward hacking and a whole host of dangerous downstream tendencies). RL tasks are notoriously prone to exploitation by reward-seeking agents (see examples here , here , and here ). In Xiaomi's MiMo v2.6 RL environments that were open-sourced, 2/3 had leaks on Git logs. There's a few clusters of common pitfalls that environments run into, but overall things evolve quickly. From our conversations with employees, CN labs typically don't divert enough people to this particular area, especially since project leads would want senior researchers to work on capabilities research, and because slowing down the development cycle is widely seen as too costly. The rough shape of our initial solution is an embedded team of staff directly working on identifying & fixing broken environments, working in tandem with the alignment & safety departments within each lab (afaik we estimate that the main Chinese AI players only have 5-10 people per company working on alignment and harm reduction). We are currently in good standing with several labs (our courses' students are often lab employees). We also plan to produce seasonal (and case-by-case) public reports o…

The huge crowds turning out to see the 71-year-old pontiff have prompted heightened fears among health authorities in Latin America, which has seen a surge in measles cases this year.
This post was written by Michael Freedman (Harvard CMSA & Logical Intelligence), and typeset by Milo Moses. Frontier models exhibit astonishing mathematical knowledge and power despite being in their infancy. They will surely strengthen further through routine maturation of the technology, and quite likely through future paradigm shifts in architecture and training. Where does this leave the human mathematician? Already, it has made us study harder than we have since school. The AIs speak to us in a broad language, equally at home in all fields, and we scurry to keep up. So those of us (not me) who were great students, are back in their natural environment, learning, interpreting, organizing knowledge as it flows in. The challenge of absorbing this knowledge will make good teachers into great ones. But what about those whose lives revolved around quiet hours struggling with an open problem, where do we go? My advice: lean in, let the AI’s teach you everything they can about the problem and its context; push them until they are stuck. One of the great feelings in research is the (rare) sense that you have at your command all the information relevant to the problem at hand, and all you need to do is to come up with your own idiosyncratic lens to see through it. Conversing with the AIs is often eye-opening on how much existing mathematics is out there and might be brought to bear. Let the AIs put you in this state of ideal preparation. If they flat out solve the problem on thei…

In this Saturday edition of Business Insider Today, we're talking about the financial lessons Belle Burden learned after her divorce.
OpenAI is dissolving its standalone robotics team for the second time, but not because it lacks data. General-purpose models like GPT-6 Astra can apparently control robots directly, making a dedicated unit unnecessary. The researchers are being redistributed across other teams in what the company frames as a way to accelerate its robotics efforts. The article OpenAI reassigns robotics researchers to other teams as general-purpose models might make specialized robotics AI unnecessary appeared first on The Decoder .
