AI Quantum Intelligence - Pic of the week (2026-05-15)
A powerful illustrated allegory charting humanity's journey from raw physical labor to cognitive dependency on AI. This triptych explores the irony of strengthening our machines while weakening our own minds and bodies. There is nothing better for the body and the mind than to exercise and use both....
Runway started by helping filmmakers. Now it wants to beat Google at AI.
AI video generation startup Runway is betting that video generation is the path to world models. And that being an AI outsider is an advantage, not a liability.

Data readiness for agentic AI in financial services
Financial services companies have unique needs when it comes to business AI. They operate in one of the most highly regulated sectors while responding to external events that are updated by the second. As a result, the success of agentic AI in financial services depends less on the sophistication of...
Establishing AI and data sovereignty in the age of autonomous systems
When generative AI first moved from research labs into real-world business applications, enterprises made a tacit bargain: “Capability now, control later.” Feed your proprietary data into third-party AI models, and you will get powerful results. But your data passes through systems you do not own, u...
Nous Research Releases Token Superposition Training to Speed Up LLM Pre-Training by Up to 2.5x Across 270M to 10B Parameter Models
Nous Research releases Token Superposition Training (TST), a two-phase pre-training method that cuts wall-clock training time by up to 2.5x at matched FLOPs by averaging contiguous token embeddings into bags during Phase 1 and reverting to standard next-token prediction in Phase 2 — without changing...
Notion just turned its workspace into a hub for AI agents
Notion’s new developer platform lets teams connect AI agents, external data sources, and custom code directly into their workspace as the company pushes deeper into agentic productivity software.
Fastino Labs Open-Sources GLiGuard: A 300M Parameter Safety Moderation Model That Matches or Exceeds Accuracy of Models 23–90x Its Size
Fastino Labs has released GLiGuard, a 300M parameter open-source safety moderation model that evaluates four safety tasks — prompt safety, jailbreak strategy detection, harm category classification, and refusal detection — in a single forward pass. Built on an encoder architecture rather than the de...
AI chatbots are giving out people’s real phone numbers
People report that their personal contact info was surfaced by Google AI—and there’s apparently no easy way to prevent it. A Redditor recently wrote that he was “desperate for help”: for about a month, he said, his phone had been inundated by calls from “strangers” who were “looking for a lawyer, a...
AI Reality Check: The Problem With AI Evaluation: Garbage In, Gospel Out
AI models are judged by flawed benchmarks that distort progress and reliability. Week 12 exposes why AI evaluation is broken — and what must replace it.
