There are a lot of ways that companies can use AI to monitor employees in the bathroom. It’s invasive, unconscionable, and now in California, illegal.

I wrote about a topic that does not get enough attention: AI industry has made choices about technology, product architecture, and capital expenditures that likely make financial success impossible.
Continuing on current path risks the whole economy.

Multilateral institutions are in crisis. We need new stabilisation tools for an age of shocks.
That's why I'm delighted that @MehreenKhn has read ANTI-FASCIST ECONOMICS and agrees it's time to revive global buffer stocks.

On today's @MachineGodsPod, we talked to two safety researchers who were fired by OpenAI after an investigation into their communications with outside researchers. This is going to be a thorny issue in the next few years, as AI companies bring in external monitors while also trying to clamp down on leaks.
Thanks for coming on @tomekkorbak and @balesni. youtube.com/watch?v=tjAg_KxA…

When companies define safety on their own terms, they can change their definition at will.

The most revealing part of this conversation between Jon Stewart and Jacob Coxon wasn't Coxon's warning about A.I. doom, but his description of A.I. utopia, and Stewart's incredulous response. I wrote about it — and Francis Fukuyama's "Last Man," and A.I. easily solving the problems that bedeviled my father's field of mathematics for decades — here: nytimes.com/2026/10/18/opini…

People tell me they are tired of "AI consciousness" debates where rival camps exchange opposing intuitions. I am too, which is why my "centrist manifesto" (now on v6) tries to find more moderate and constructive ways forward. philpapers.org/rec/BIRACA-4

It’s weird that the CEO of Hugging Face continues to be an “AI is normal technology” guy despite being the victim of an autonomous cyberattack by a swarm of rogue agents, arguably the least normal thing AI has done so far.
Just watched the @netflix Instadocs about the @OpenAI cyberattack on @huggingface. Super disappointing, as they went for maximum anthropomorphism of the technology and full doomer mode.
I spent more than two hours with them trying to correct all their mistakes and ground this in reality, explaining that agents are technological systems, not aliens. But it looks like the drive to scare people for maximum views was too strong.
Also, they didn’t mention the lack of containment and monitoring of the agents, how closed-model safeguards blocked our defensive work, or how we defended ourselves with AI using an open model. And that we still lack a lot of information and transparency, including full agent traces and that companies need to remain accountable for what their agents do.
It ends up being a fun sci-fi movie though!
