As security risks unfold with every new AI wrinkle, Microsoft has decided that making tools for governability and reliability is the way to go. Yes, please. And in response to rebellious rural communities, NVIDIA has developed a water cooling system that helps reduce the need for that precious resource to cool data center servers. It is a small world, and getting smaller: A United Nations-class translation app, Gemini 3.5 Live Translate, will soon be available, so you can make internet pals the world over without the language barrier. And are you ready for a new channel on Slack? @claude will take your tasks. Also, researchers have discovered that, oddly enough, people get bored with their AI recommendations and actually like it when algorithms flout their preferences.
Now the downside of this ongoing balancing act: The government has eased up on Anthropic’s Claude 5 Fable, but developers who use it are burning tokens and chafing at its guardrails. Mythos, with fewer guardrails, is still embargoed for the average user, although a few dozen tech companies, financial institutions, and government agencies have regained access. As an inevitable consequence of the cost to operate LLMs, and to the consternation of GitHubbers, Copilot bills are now usage-based. We’d better get used to that. And some news outlets are rescinding the Internet Archive’s access to their web stories out of an abundance of AI caution. Finally, taking AI to its current limit, Argentina wants to create literal nonhuman corporations. It’s human-out-of-the-loop vibe coding at scale.
We’ll see how it goes.
