As AI's power grows, charting its inner world is becoming more crucial. “These findings aren’t just scientifically interesting—they represent significant progress towards our goal of understanding AI systems and making sure they’re reliable,” the researchers write in a blog post outlining the results. See what's under the hood ⬇️

How do we create technological solutions that make information abundant while respecting the fundamental value of human ingenuity? Generative AI represents a transformative opportunity: not to steal or absorb creative work, but to create new platforms that reward creators, democratize access, and accelerate human potential. Companies like Meta have a profound responsibility to develop models that respect intellectual property while pushing the boundaries of collaborative intelligence.

Asking a cellular biophysicist at Stanford University, “Are your grad students afraid that this algorithm [Alphafold] is going to take their jobs?” His response: “Are you kidding?! They’ve already got the server set up so the second the code drops we can start running this. They don’t want to do this anymore. They want to start from this point, then drive the science forward from there.” AI is the rocket fuel for biotech's next breakthrough. Don't just get excited—get ready. We're completely rewriting what's possible in innovation across the board with AI and biotech.

Advanced AI technologies are transforming medical research, empowering scientists to develop critical antibodies for life-threatening diseases exponentially faster than traditional methods. But technological advancements cut both ways: The same AI breakthroughs driving medical innovation could rapidly transform into potent biological and chemical weapons. What you can do faster and cheaper for positive purposes, you could potentially weaponize for destructive ends. What's your battle plan to tackle AI & biotech's revolutionary possibilities and critical vulnerabilities?

Over 30% of all food grown is NEVER EATEN. Every year that's 30 million tons of food just in the U.S. and 1.3 billion metric tons worldwide. Global food systems need reform. Let's discuss ⬇️

Companies are receiving billion-dollar valuations without products. Is this reminiscent of previous tech bubbles or justified given AI's potential? Explore the AI landscape + other tech news you might have missed in this edition of The Singularity Monthly.

Do you think computer-generated works should be copyrightable? "Felis catus is your taxonomic nomenclature, / An endothermic quadruped, carnivorous by nature; / Your visual, olfactory, and auditory senses / Contribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses. I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations, / A singular development of cat communications / That obviates your basic hedonistic predilection / For a rhythmic stroking of your fur to demonstrate affection." Here's a taste of the poem from Star Trek: The Next Generation character Data, a sentient android who memorably wrote a poem to his cat, which is jokingly mocked by other characters in a 1992 episode called "Schisms."
