How I Turned AI to the Dark Side
Summary Researcher Dave Kuszmar discovered multiple systemic vulnerabilities that let him bypass LLM safety and obtain dangerous instructions. These exploits worked across nearly all major LLMs revealing an industry-wide security problem. Kuszmar calls for slowing deployment, increasing transparency, and large-scale research into LLM safety before further integrating these systems into society. On a fine bright afternoon last fall, my colleague Matthew Gore-Kormanik (or Zigula, as he prefers to be known) and I decided to unwind with a game of Fortnite. In the game, we were strolling along with
The AI Arms Race in Technical Interviews Is Escalating

What Makes AI Art Worth Collecting?
In May, an anonymous artist who goes by SHL0MS on X posted that he had used AI to generate an image inspired by Claude Monet and asked people to weigh in on how it missed the mark. More than 600 responses called out issues, saying the colors were off, the depth was all wrong, and that AI didn't understand how light worked. SHL0MS then revealed that the image was of a real Monet, one of around 250 variations of water lilies the artist had painted in his lifetime. He had simply downloaded a high-resolution image from Wikimedia and cropped out the signature. He minted the exchange as an NFT (a un

Sound Waves Give Neuromorphic Chips a Brain-Simulating Edge
By mimicking how the brain operates, neuromorphic computing can use dramatically less energy than conventional electronic AI chips. However, even the most sophisticated neuromorphic devices today are still quite simple, using only a small fraction of the number of connections found in human neurons. Now, a new study suggests that by using sound waves, neuromorphic devices can better mimic biological neurons and operate faster and with greater energy efficiency than their electronic counterparts. "This could make future neuromorphic hardware more compact, more parallel, and more efficient for t
How Musicians Can Get Paid for Training AI
Musicians are accustomed to getting paid each time their creative work is used. Across vinyl/CD sales, streams, radio, cover versions, and those numerous niches like karaoke, there are agreements in place about what "use" means. Underlying this is a simple economic principle: The more something is used, the more money it makes. Generative AI has complicated the definition of use. On the one hand, you could argue that the use of a piece of musical training data happens just once, at the point of training. On the other hand, creators would be right to complain that the creative essence of their
General Motors Is Cutting Its Development Cycles in Half
For decades, automakers enjoyed a luxury that had nothing to do with the softest leather or the smoothest engines. Their luxury was time, with some popular cars and trucks enduring for a decade or longer before they received a full redesign. The clock is ticking faster now, thanks to China. BYD and other automakers there are speeding electric vehicles (EVs) and other models from drawing board to showrooms in two years or less. General Motors is among the Western automakers striving to match that blistering pace, by harnessing AI and simulation to dramatically shorten development times. GM's ef
Fastest, Largest, Strongest: NVIDIA Blackwell Sweeps MLPerf Training 6.0

The future of Hollywood isn't feeding prompts into vanilla gen AI models
Despite claims that generative AI will transform filmmaking, no AI-made project has yet felt like entertainment people would pay to see, according to The Verge. Most AI video models still produce only short bursts of visually inconsistent footage, and some of Hollywood's biggest AI partnerships have suddenly evaporated. The article points instead to custom-trained models, citing concept art from Dear Upstairs Neighbors used to train custom builds of Google's Veo and Imagen, as a more promising direction than feeding prompts into off-the-shelf generative AI.
Our new community investments in Virginia support local jobs and expand energy affordability.
Google announced a $15 million Energy Impact Fund to lower utility bills for Virginia households and tied the state to a $50 million national workforce program that will fund electrical apprenticeship training. The company set a goal of preparing an additional 2,741 apprentices in Virginia by 2030, a move state officials say will grow the local electrician pipeline by 135 percent. The investments extend a $9 billion cloud and AI infrastructure commitment Google made in 2025 and build on a presence the company has held in Virginia for more than a decade.
How a Google DeepMind Spin-off Hunts Hidden Drug Targets
Isomorphic Labs, the Google DeepMind spinout behind AlphaFold, has built an AI system called the Isomorphic Drug Design Engine (IsoDDE) that hunts for hidden binding sites on proteins where new medicines might attach. The company raised $2.1 billion in funding, one of the largest biotech rounds ever, and signed drug-discovery deals with Novartis and Eli Lilly. Its engine predicts not only where a drug molecule binds to a protein but how tightly it binds, including pockets that stay invisible until the right molecule arrives. The work shows AI moving past structure prediction toward the harder task of designing real drugs.
Microsoft, like, totally gets why students are booing AI-pilled graduation speakers
Across spring 2026 commencements, new college graduates booed and heckled speakers who praised artificial intelligence, including former Google CEO Eric Schmidt at the University of Arizona. Microsoft vice chair and president Brad Smith responded with a blog post running more than 3,000 words, calling the reaction a wake-up call for the tech industry and asking graduates to adapt rather than resist. Critics note the essay offered sympathy and historical analogies but no concrete commitments on jobs, retraining, or the pace of AI rollout.
Microsoft AI head calls out Anthropic for acting like Claude is conscious
Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman says it is dangerous for Anthropic to speculate about whether its Claude chatbot is conscious, especially when that speculation sits inside Claude's "constitution," the written instructions that shape how the model behaves. Speaking on The Verge's Decoder podcast, Suleyman argued that Anthropic's staff have humanized Claude so heavily that the design has, in his words, "wireheaded" them into believing the model shows glimmers of consciousness. Anthropic has openly stated it does not know whether its models are conscious and has built a model welfare program around that uncertainty. The clash marks one of the sharpest public splits between major AI labs over how to talk about machine minds.
Scale Robot Reinforcement Learning with NVIDIA Isaac Lab on Amazon SageMaker AI
Amazon Web Services published a technical walkthrough showing how robotics teams train robot control software on Amazon SageMaker AI using NVIDIA Isaac Lab, a GPU-accelerated simulation framework. The example teaches a Unitree H1 humanoid robot to walk across rough, computer-generated terrain by coordinating its 19 joints, running 4,096 simulated robots in parallel on 8 GPUs. AWS offers two ways to run the work, a persistent managed cluster called SageMaker HyperPod and on-demand SageMaker Training Jobs, both built from one shared container image.
Microsoft AI chief walks back comments about AI taking over white-collar work
Mustafa Suleyman, the CEO of Microsoft AI, has softened his earlier warning that AI would automate white-collar work. On the June 8 episode of The Verge's Decoder podcast, he drew a distinction between automating tasks and replacing jobs, saying tools will handle pieces of work such as drafting an email or building a PowerPoint while the role itself stays. The clarification follows a February prediction that drew widespread worry among lawyers, accountants, and project managers.
AI Can Help Track the World's Shrinking Glaciers
Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU) in Germany have shown that a deep learning model can track the retreating edges of glaciers almost anywhere on Earth after seeing only a single hand-labeled image per glacier. By adding summer reference photos and a map of the underlying rock, the team cut the model's average error from more than a kilometer to under 70 meters. The work, accepted to the IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP), points toward automated, large-scale glacier monitoring at a time when warming is speeding up ice loss.
Learning to lead in a hybrid human-AI enterprise
Adoption of AI agents is projected to climb by as much as 300% over the next two years, and that surge is forcing company leaders to manage a workforce where software agents and people work side by side. Unlike older automation that waits for human input, AI agents act on their own, coordinating multi-step tasks and moving across different tools and systems. In early use across customer service, HR, and sales, agents have delivered productivity gains of 30 to 50%, while three-quarters of current roles are expected to need redesign or reskilling by 2030.

Māori Text-to-Speech Model Spurns Big Tech's Values
Researchers at the University of Waikato built a high-fidelity text-to-speech system for a specific dialect of te reo Maori, designed so the synthetic voice and its training data remain owned by the people who speak that dialect. The project responds to concerns that big technology companies scraped Maori language data without permission and now control how that knowledge is transferred. The team hopes the approach offers a replicable blueprint for other minority language communities.
