This is wild. OpenAI just dropped Sora, their state-of-the-art AI video model. The video quality looks insane. 100% AI, these are not real. 1. 80s Japan Harajuku fashion street

If you're curious about current expert assessments of AI risk, this report is an excellent reference. It offers thorough content that is not overly editorialized.

This is a rather convincing X scam: it’s possible for bad actors to spoof any application they want and have users authorise their X account, giving away control of your profile & timeline. Stay safe out there folks!

What is MCP & why it's a big (huge) deal: (model context protocol) TLDR: MCP makes it possible for AI Tools to use external tools. E.g. Chatbot/IDE/AI-Agent can use Gmail/GoogleDrive/WeatherApp etc. Detailed explanation for both, tech & non tech people (+demos): 1) AI Tools

I will be talking about evaluating AI systems in my talk tomorrow for PyData London , "Death by RMSE: A Cautionary Tale of Metrics Gone Wild" "You’ve trained the model. The eval metrics look great. But somehow, it doesn't change anything — the KPIs are static, the business
