The promises and pitfalls of personalized health

Personalized health is the holy grail, but there’s a long way to go before algorithms can factor in chronic conditions.

Researchers used Mythos to crack macOS.

Researchers at the security firm Calif say they used Anthropic’s cybersecurity AI to create a privilege escalation exploit, the Wall Street Journal reports:

Last September, Apple said it leveraged its hardware and operating system expertise into a technology called Memory Integrity Enforcement (MIE), which it described as “the culmination of an unprecedented design and engineering effort, spanning half a decade.” With Claude, building the code that exploited the two MacOS bugs took five days, Calif says.

AI-generated research papers are getting better, and it’s a big problem for scientists

Journal editors and peer reviewers are being flooded with AI-generated papers that are almost impossible to detect.

“You can choose to howl at the wind, but AI is not going away.”

That’s according to Amazon’s President and CEO Andy Jassy — a cold, yet unsuprising take from the man who’s planning to replace 600,000 employees with robots by 2033. In this Bloomberg article, you can read more about how he’s overhauling Amazon to go all-in on AI.

Jack Antonoff is sick of AI slop.

The musician, producer, and long-time Taylor Swift collaborator described people who use generative AI tools as “Godless whores” in a rant on Instagram:

“To everyone who is gassed up about the new ways you can fake making art, by all means drive right off that cliff. We’re genuinely happy to see you go.”

OpenClaw now works better with OpenAI models and Codex.

As part of a new release, “your ChatGPT subscription can now power an OpenClaw agent that feels much closer to the model it is built on,” OpenAI’s Nik Pash says in a blog post.

The OpenClaw team has also been working “really hard on performance, reliability, security, and stability,” according to OpenClaw founder (and OpenAI employee) Peter Steinberger.

This is a wild story about an AI-driven local news site.

This investigation by the Florida Trib and the podcast Question Everything is a sobering read about the state of local news right now and how AI is being used to fill the void with sketchy junk.

Musk v. Altman accomplished nothing but airing dirty laundry

The trial felt less like the fate of OpenAI and more like a window into petty grievances.

“I told you in my opening statement you wouldn’t hear very much from Microsoft, and you haven’t.”

God bless. We are in the Microsoft closing statements. “Microsoft never found a single page of a single document” that referenced Musk’s alleged restrictions on his donations during the due diligence process.

“I feel like I’m going to miss you all,” Savitt tells the jury.

He may be laying it on thick, but he did get a big laugh.

Savitt calls out the fact that Musk is abroad with President Trump today.

He reminded the jury that Musk isn’t in the courtroom while Altman and Brockman are. (Musk posted yesterday that he was en route to Beijing on Air Force One.) “They are here because they care a lot about this,” Savitt said. “Mr. Musk isn’t here. Mr. Musk came to this court for exactly one witness — Elon Musk — and he hasn’t been seen since. Now he’s in parts unknown.”

Savitt says Musk has “selective amnesia.”

“He claims to have heard things high atop a windy hill where no one else can hear,” Savitt told the jury. (Strange phrasing, but after the bridge metaphor from Molo, I wouldn’t expect anything less.) He also says Musk has “unclean hands” due to his “unconscionable conduct” related to the claims he’s bringing. “Only after OpenAI succeeded, against Musk’s prediction, only then did he start threatening litigation,” Savitt said.
