The people deciding that AI can replace your job are also the ones least likely to understand what your job truly involves, according to Box founder Aaron Levie, who pointed to this as an example of “AI psychosis.” Indeed, ClickUp recently cut 22% of its workforce for AI agents, tech layoffs in 2026...
RAG Is Burning Money — I Built a Cost Control Layer to Fix It
Most RAG systems are optimized for answer quality, not cost—and that blind spot gets expensive fast. In this article, I break down a production-ready cost control layer combining semantic caching, query routing, token budgeting, and circuit breaking, achieving an 85% reduction in LLM costs without s...
Cognition’s Scott Wu says AI coding agents shouldn’t replace humans
Cognition makes Devin, the first and arguably most successful AI coding agent. But famed coder Wu says it isn't designed to supplant human programmers.
25 Most Influential AI Pioneers to Meet at DataHack Summit 2026
The strongest AI voices are not just people with impressive job titles. They are researchers pushing the technical boundaries of AI. Founders building AI communities. Practitioners turning models into products. Even leaders, helping businesses understand what this technology can actually do. This be...
Claude Opus 4.8: A Smarter Model in the Right Direction
The AI industry has matured to the point where raw intelligence is no longer the only thing that matters. A year ago, every model release was a race to publish bigger benchmark numbers. More parameters, features and everything in between. Today, the conversation is shifting. Developers care about ...
The ‘Entry-Level’ Gatekeeper: Auditing Job Descriptions with Textstat
This article shows how to use free, open-source tools like Python and its Textstat library to build a script that automates the process of capturing "gatekeeping language" in job descriptions before publishing them.
Five Questions About Chronos-2, the Time Series Foundation Model
Part 1: A practitioner's walkthrough of univariate, multivariate, covariate-informed, and cold-start forecasting.
The post Five Questions About Chronos-2, the Time Series Foundation Model appeared first on Towards Data Science.
The following article originally appeared on the Asimov’s Addendum Substack and is being reposted here with the author’s permission. Bill Gurley has an excellent article on what he calls open source strategy, which we recommend reading. There is a lot to debate about his concluding argument in parti...
How the Pope’s Magnifica Humanitas offers a template for individuals to meet the AI moment
Pope Leo XIV’s new encyclical on artificial intelligence includes a statement that warrants serious attention from technologists and policymakers: “Technology is never neutral.” Magnifica Humanitas (“Magnificent Humanity”) is a clarion call to all people to act with courage and solidarity as we ente...

Hexo Labs Open-Sources SIA: A Self-Improving Agent That Updates Both the Harness and the Model Weights
Hexo Labs released SIA, an open-source self-improving loop, under an MIT license. A Feedback-Agent reads each run's trajectory, then either rewrites the scaffold or triggers a LoRA weight update on gpt-oss-120b. Combining both levers beat scaffold-only iteration on LawBench, TriMul GPU kernels, and ...
Representation Signatures and Risk-Feedback Alignment in LLM Trading Agents

Self-Play Reinforcement Learning under Imperfect Information in Big 2
arXiv:2605.28863v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Imperfect-information multiplayer games test whether agents can act under hidden information, sparse rewards, and non-stationary opponents. We study these challenges in Big 2, a four-player imperfect-information card game. We develop a self-play RL fr...

Abstract: Tropical forests worldwide are under intense deforestation pressure driven by economic and political interests, and scientific evidence suggests this deforestation contributes to climate change. This paper proposes a novel logging method for tropical ...
AI Weekly Issue #497: Anthropic and OpenAI are taking over governments
This was the week the frontier labs stopped being vendors. OpenAI now runs inside US biodefense and Japan's three biggest banks, and it just mapped its own safety rules to EU and California AI law. Meanwhile China unveiled an LLM that automates satellite targeting. Workforce policy is splintering: C...
AI Weekly Issue #497: AI's labor war just went global
This was the week the AI-and-work conflict broke into the open simultaneously across four jurisdictions. Wikipedia editors are organizing a strike over Wikimedia layoffs. Amazon employees gamed its internal AI ranking into uselessness. Chinese courts began enforcing a framework that bars AI-justifie...
