DeepMind's Co-Scientist now runs the lab equipment itself
A hypothesis generator has become a partner that plans experiments, drives a furnace and writes papers. But physicians did not confirm its benchmark scores.

Epoka — What's happening in AI, without the noise.
Musicians turned detectives: the hunt for AI grifters in dance music, and the tells
Producers have learned the marks a model leaves: a hiss, layers that stutter in unison. But proof is hard and accusation is easy. Here is the culture, step by step.

Ninety-five percent of China's short dramas are now AI-generated
A minute of video costs $90, a tenth of shooting with people. Some performers are made to hand over their voice and face before being let go.

Google keeps the agent's mistakes instead of deleting them: WikiSkill
The model does not truly learn, but it writes itself better instructions after every run. Gemini 3.5 Flash went from 49.5 to 68.1 percent on average.

AI improved its own alignment: $4 an hour against a researcher's $150
All ten alignment benchmarks improved without degrading overall performance. The paper does not shy away from the comparison with human researchers.

A $399 bipedal robot: Hugging Face opened the training loop too
Walking, kicking, standing back up after a fall — every move is a neural policy trained in simulation. The reward functions are on GitHub as well.

Claude Code's limit rises on paper and falls 17 percent in practice
The permanent baseline goes up 25 percent, but the 50 percent temporary boost in force today expires on September 14. The gap is the cut.

AI agents have no sense of time, and no awareness that they lack it
They can neither predict how long a task takes nor tell how long they have worked. They also overrate their own output by 20 points on average.

Worker reviews have turned against AI: positive share fell from 81 to 43 percent
The complaints go well beyond fear of losing a job. The most sceptical group is Gen Z women, at 21 percent positive.

Nvidia's advantage has moved from the GPU to the system around it
Competition shifted from the chip to traffic control. Getting data to the GPU at the right moment now matters more than more processor cycles.

The skills that earn top grades are the ones AI fakes best
An experiment with 1,053 students at Bocconi raised grades. But the rubric was penalising the very markers of real thinking. Here is the argument, step by step.

Instagram throttles the reach of undisclosed AI profiles
The company states the reason plainly: people dislike finding out later that a profile was AI. Those who use the label are not penalised.
