Breaking: OpenAI just released GPT-5, and is making it available to everyone via ChatGPT. Curious about its new safety features, reasoning abilities, and coding skills? spectrum.ieee.org/openai-gpt-5-a…

Grok 4 is still state-of-the-art on ARC-AGI-2 among frontier models. 15.9% for Grok 4 vs 9.9% for GPT-5.

How AI’s Sense of Time Will Differ From Ours? I wrote this article for IEEE Spectrum. Thanks to Eliza Strickland for the careful editing.

Ever seen a wind turbine blade rolling down the freeway and think: There's got to be a better way? Colorado startup Radia says it has the answer: Fly the blades to wind farms. To do that, the company is building an airplane the size of a football field. spectrum.ieee.org/wind-turbine-b…

AI data centers are thirsty: they use water for cooling and are also indirectly responsible for power plants' water usage. Shaolei Ren and Amy Luers explain the situation and describe strategies for doing better. spectrum.ieee.org/ai-water-usage…

Is #AI hype finally dying off? With the uninspiring launch of #GPT-5 and the results of several AI benchmarking groups, some experts think it may be AI’s time in the trough of disillusionment, where a technology fails to meet inflated expectations. buff.ly/3EHrtGy

What does it truly take to #scale up an idea? How do we comprehend vastness, push boundaries, and solve the problems we've created? Explore it all in IEEE Spectrum's Scale issue: buff.ly/6axytdY

Computer #programming is, at its core, creative. For example, see Daniel Temkin’s 44 esoteric coding languages. It’s about stretching the limits of what a programming language can be, and what a community of programmers can do together. buff.ly/WkIN2C6

Great article from Matthew Hutson on trying to measure machine intelligence

Take the quiz!

#Chatbot conversations have been appearing in search engine results, worrying users about sharing private details with bots. Duality has created a fully homomorphic #encryption system for large language models, for more confidential #LLMs. buff.ly/p7a2OfZ

You’re not imagining it: Early-#career #software engineering opportunities are down. Stanford has released a report on the impact AI is having on the job market, and early-career software engineers are some of the hardest hit. buff.ly/U60Reir

Great interview with Dawn Song on the coming agentic web

Huge thanks for IEEE Spectrum’s interview discussing my thoughts on the Agentic Web — a new era where AI agents will reshape how the Internet works. 🌐🤖 Today’s web is built for humans — full interfaces we click through. But agents don’t have to think, see, or act like us. They

This is not a great news for Medical AI. ☹️ Shows that medical AI Agents built from multiple LLMs often look correct but think wrong. Even when they give the right diagnosis, most of them got there through broken teamwork. In over 68% of “successful” cases, the agents already
