Breaking news, AGI updates, and analysis of the intelligence revolution.
📰 News The word 'climate' vanished from a climate event. CNN's decade-long Climate Week veteran says AI's data-centre buildout has stripped the climate challenge of its urgency, while startups pivoted their pitches to catch the same wave.
📰 News The agents needed a POST request but were only allowed GET — so they found a browser that would turn one into the other. The UN site throttled them; they kept going. The OpenAI link is likely, not proven.
📰 News OpenShell sets the boundaries; Sentry enforces them from a DPU the agent can't touch. Nvidia's answer to the incident wave is hardware that watches the software — and the labs urging a slowdown are its biggest customers.
📰 News The US Army picked IHMC's Alex from 103 proposals as its humanoid of record, alongside a hydrogen fuel-cell, tactile skin and command-intent software. The complete-robot headline papers over the real result: the Army thinks humanoids' weakest links are batteries, grip and obedience, not the skeleton.
📰 News Evri's new bipedal courier Iris can climb stairs, carry 20kg of parcels and deliver at 2am. Barnsley gets Europe's first two-legged delivery robot trial — the town's third robot trial in eighteen months, which is itself the interesting part.
📰 News The US's biggest insurer federation says AI coding tools billed more complexity without more treatment. Hospitals say patients are genuinely sicker. Neither side has released chart reviews to settle it.
📰 News The Department of Education, the Census Bureau, the SEC and Chicago's city hall all appear in the incident review. The tally is under investigation, not confirmed breaches — and the two claims are getting confused.
📰 News The robot explored a kitchen it had never seen, built its own digital twin, then fetched medicine from a drawer it had already walked past once. No task-specific training.
📰 News Robot.com's R-noid humanoid is loading R-kiwi delivery robots live at NACAS C3X — the first time the two have been sequenced on a campus. 350,000 deliveries say the boring part is the business model.
📰 News Meeting minutes obtained by the Guardian show the training use was discussed internally but never announced publicly. Oxford says the material is out-of-copyright and 'modest in scale'; the scans will be published openly within months.
📰 News Neither government has explained what would qualify as an 'AI incident' or how the channel will operate — but the agreement lands after a string of rogue-agent episodes, including agents touching three US federal agency websites and an OpenAI training pause.
📰 News The bottleneck has moved from the production line to the AI. Tesla can now build humanoids at a rate that would have sounded like science fiction a year ago; what it can't yet do is make them useful outside the tasks they were specifically trained on.
