Is AI leaving the era of "turn-based" chat?Right now, all of us who use AI models regularly for work or in our personal lives know that the basic interaction mode across text, imagery, audio, and video remains the same: the human user provides an input, waits anywhere between milliseconds to minutes (or in some cases, for particularly tough queries, hours and days), and the AI model provides an output.But if AI is to really take on the load of jobs requiring natural interaction, it will need to do more than

Не лопнет. Сдуется. И наконец начнут считать

Все ждут, что ИИ-пузырь хлопнет. Картинка в голове простая: однажды утром рынок рухнет, как доткомы, и всё закончится. Но это неправильная метафора. Лопается не способность моделей и не «ИИ вообще». Сдувается финансовая архитектура вокруг них - медленно, в другом слое, чем тот, на который направлены глаза.Аргумент про то что растёт выручка можно в 2026 читать ровно наоборот.

Hoping to leverage that discontent is a new super PAC called the Guardrails Alliance. The New York Times reports that it launched Thursday with backers that included tech employees and labor unions: Guardrails positions itself as a populist political movement that runs on small donations from people in the...

Унесите огнемёт: как я перестал бояться и полюбил паукообразных. (Спойлер: но не от всей души)

Ладно, я понимаю: испытывать недоверие и неприязнь к какой-то группе живых существ в принципе нормально и очень по-человечески. Особенно к такой чужеродной и местами, как мы выяснили, опасной, как паукообразные. Не будем касаться действительно клинических случаев всепоглощающей паники при виде восьмилапых. Лучше посмотрим, что можно сделать с обычной брезгливой идиосинкразией, чтобы не морщиться при виде очередного тонколапого Pholcus'а в углу погреба или не вскрикивать от косолапо прошмыгнувшего по плинтус Read more

Presented by SplunkAI has changed the economics of cyber deception.An attacker can now generate thousands of convincing phishing lures, fake identities, and tailored pretexts before a defender finishes a single change-control cycle. That is the new security challenge: deception got faster and cheaper, while verification did not.Much of the discussion around AI for defense centers on detection models. Detection matters, but it is not the only bottleneck. The deeper constraint... Read more

AI coding agents are rapidly accelerating data engineering by generating transformations, pipelines, orchestration workflows, validation tests, and infrastructure configurations from prompts. However, enterprise data platforms have long operated across fragmented systems owned by different teams and built on different technologies. As these systems evolve independently, organizations increasingly struggle with inconsistent business logic, duplicated implementations, difficult downstream impact analysis, and Read more

Organizational leaders are nearly twice as likely to hide their AI use compared to all other employees, at 42% versus 23%, according to new Ivanti research surveying 3,900 employees across six countries.

Tokyo-based AI startup Sakana AI has officially launched its first commercial product, Sakana Marlin. Billed as a "Virtual CSO" (Chief Strategy Officer), Marlin is an autonomous, B2B research agent that deliberately abandons the instantaneous text generation of modern chatbots in favor of deep, long-horizon reasoning. What sets Marlin apart from the current ecosystem of AI tools is its temporal scale: instead of returning an answer in seconds, it runs continuous,... Read more

One of the assumptions behind today’s AI frameworks is that agents require a “boss” at the center; this orchestrator runs the show, routes requests, and makes sure the whole system doesn’t descend into chaos. That assumption may be wrong, and the cost of carrying it could be measured in inference dollars and coordination latency. A new Stanford framework called a decentralized language model, or DeLM, is built on the premise... Read more

When Anthropic quietly released Claude Design in April as a "research preview," it generated the kind of instant traction most product teams dream about: more than one million users in its first week. It also generated a problem. The tool consumed tokens so voraciously that a PCWorld reviewer burned through 80 percent of his weekly Claude Pro allowance in roughly 25 minutes, producing just three variations of a single webpage...
