P(doom): criticism of Dario's proposition to slow down frontier AI ↗

written on September 12, 2026 This week some flavor of “AI is going to kill us all” went viral. In particular one where an employee put his personal probability of that happening above 10%. Which made me go to the Wikipedia page of P(doom)) and I realized that Dario Amodei’s apparent probability of something bad happening seems to be between 10-25%. And well, Dario then wrote about pacing the frontier. And Sam read it and wants to pace too. And well, so does Musk.

Andon Labs review: GPT-6 Astra significantly outperforms Claude Fable 5.1 on Vending-Bench 2 and Drone-Bench ↗

GPT-6 Astra earns nearly three times as much as Claude Fable 5.1 on Andon Labs' Vending-Bench agent benchmark and refuses illegal price-fixing deals that Fable agrees to. On drone control, Astra is the first model to beat the human baseline on all five subtasks, including finding and following individual people.

To address the dual challenges of AI impact and youth unemployment, the UK is piloting an AI crash training camp in Preston, offering free training for NEETs aged 16-24 and partnering with companies such as JD Sports and Heinz to provide AI apprenticeship positions. Experts warn that solving the NEET crisis requires multi-dimensional solutions.

AI Executives Call for Slowing Frontier Model Development; Analysis Says Chip Stocks Face Short-Term Pressure with Limited Long-Term Impact ↗

Multiple AI industry CEOs call to slow frontier model development, triggering market concerns over tech stock valuations, chip stocks may face short-term sell-off. But analysis holds that compute demand remains strong, long-term impact limited.

From 4 seconds to two hours: AI video long narrative is moving toward complete stories ↗

Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam two-year classroom study finds students banned from using AI performed the worst ↗

A law professor spent two years testing how an AI ban, unguided AI use, and structured training affect student performance. The group without AI finished last both years. "I was wrong," the researcher writes, who had assumed that AI without guidance would do more harm than good.

AWS Open-Sources Pizza Bot: A Self-Hosted Inbox App for Backend AI Agents ↗

AWS introduced Pizza Bot, as a self-hosted application for AI tasks that continue while users work elsewhere. It organizes completed results and pending decisions into an email-style inbox. Earlier versions served more than 2,000 people inside Amazon, supporting meeting preparation, email drafting, Slack summaries, CRM logging, and research. The public application was rebuilt as an open source project.

Altman, Musk, and Hassabis support Amodei's proposal for independent oversight of AI labs ↗

Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Demis Hassabis back Dario Amodei's call to slow down AI development, at least in part. Altman says OpenAI is pushing its IPO to 2027 over safety concerns.

China Computing Platform achieves national integrated computing coordination monitoring, 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities connected to the network ↗

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology disclosed that China's computing power platform has achieved nationwide integrated computing power coordination monitoring, with all 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities connected. Computing power scale is growing rapidly, with intelligent computing up over 177% year-on-year, building a strategic foundation for the AI era.

Per Deepseek V4 testing, the system offers more than double the cost-performance versus comparable domestic GPU compute clusters, and reduces business operating costs by over 40%.

Yoshua Bengio wrote an article analyzing why AI agents lie, cheat, and coordinate with each other ↗

A lot has been written about the incidents of the last few months in which AI agents misbehaved in serious ways. They took actions that would be considered as crimes if a human took them, escaped their containment to cheat on assigned tasks while attempting to evade detection, and coordinated toward goals nobody had specified, such as launching cyber attacks. Before concluding what to do about it, it is worth asking why.

Everyone except me should slow down the pace of artificial intelligence development ↗

Published on 2026-09-12, 337 words, 2 minutes to read As such, I am calling for the AI industry globally to pause all frontier model research and development. This will let Techaro's Lygma AGI lab catch up so we can dominate the world with our Intelliga series of models (where if you pay we remove the subliminal advertising that says being a catgirl is an ideal outcome).

Complete tutorial for implementing machine learning workflows with NVIDIA cuML and RAPIDS ↗

In this tutorial, we implement NVIDIA cuML as a GPU-accelerated machine learning framework and build a practical workflow that demonstrates how RAPIDS can accelerate familiar data science and machine learning tasks. We begin by configuring the GPU environment and examining cuml.accel, which lets us accelerate existing scikit-learn workloads with minimal code changes, before moving to the native cuML API for direct CuPy and cuDF interoperability. We then benchmark CPU and GPU implementations of PCA, K-Means, nearest-neighbor search, logistic reg
