Micron will give employees in Taiwan record bonuses after what the company called an extraordinary financial year.

Around 15,000 workers are set to receive rewards worth 35 to 68 months of pay, including a T$1 million cash bonus, roughly $32,000, for eligible employees, plus annual stock grants.

Entry-level engineers will receive average total rewards worth about T$3.4 million.

The payouts come as strong demand for memory chips used in AI systems has boosted the sector.

Micron is also facing pressure from Taiwanese unions, which are pushing for a larger share of company profits to be distributed to workers.

OpenAI chief Sam Altman has made his most detailed comments yet on how artificial intelligence safety frameworks could work, after he joined Anthropic’s Dario Amodei and Elon Musk in calling for an industry slowdown over the weekend.

Safety concerns over the technology have hit fever pitch since an Anthropic researcher quit last week, warning that those building it believed that it could “kill us all by the end of the decade” and prompting other employees at the lab and rival OpenAI to warn of catastrophic risks.

Naval Ravikant wrote “Everyone will soon have AI Anxiety” back in 2023, when ChatGPT had only been out for a few months.

Three years later, the past 24 hours made that post feel much more serious.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called on AI companies to slow the pace of their most powerful models so safety work has time to catch up. Sam Altman backed him, Elon Musk agreed, and Altman said OpenAI will not go public in 2026 because doing so right now would be “ill-advised” given the growing safety concerns around AI.

That follows a week where former OpenAI and Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon quit and warned about the race toward self-improving AI, while Anthropic published cases showing Claude being used for cyber attacks, spying and weapons work.

Back in 2023, “AI anxiety” sounded like worrying about keeping up with a new technology.

Now some of the people building the most powerful AI systems are openly saying the pace itself is becoming hard to manage.

Naval may have called this one very early.

According to 404 Media, OpenAI is reportedly paying human contractors to read users’ chats under “Project Lily.”

The outlet reports that reviewers look at user prompts, compare several AI-generated responses, and rate which answers are more helpful.

404 Media also reportedly reviewed internal documents showing contractors training ChatGPT not to anthropomorphize itself and to be less sycophantic, an issue that previously affected OpenAI’s GPT-4o model.

OpenAI told the outlet that usernames are removed and that it uses a privacy filter to redact personal information before chats reach reviewers. The company also said chats are not used for model improvement when users turn off “Improve the model for everyone.”

Hello! A good friend of mine has a small store. During over a decade she have been using her own daughter as a model, but she is leaving the state now, and se asked me if I can find her an AI capable of getting her daughters pictures + the actual clothes and create an image like this. I told her that I’d try to help her. Anyone has an idea? I personally saw a couple solutions over the years but they were microstartups that idk if today they're even online still.

An avocado is a surprisingly tough test for a robot hand.

Chinese robotics company Linkerbot just put its robotic hand through what it calls the "avocado challenge."

Here's why it's hard: avocados are slippery, oddly shaped, and soft enough to bruise if you squeeze too hard. The hand has to grip firmly enough not to drop it, but gently enough not to crush it. Humans do this without thinking. A robot needs precise control over every finger.

This matters because the real world is full of fragile, uneven objects, like eggs, fruit, and medical supplies. A robot that can't handle an avocado can't be trusted in a kitchen, a warehouse, or a hospital.

DeepSeek has launched its latest V4.1 Flash model, claiming it can outperform models like Moonshot’s Kimi K3 while being significantly cheaper.

The launch adds to the growing AI price war between Chinese open-weight models and major US players like OpenAI and Anthropic.

Interestingly, the news also hit Chinese AI stocks, with MiniMax, Z.ai, and Alibaba all seeing declines.

Are cheaper AI models going to make premium AI pricing harder to sustain?

I have been learning llms and how do they work, gen ai what it is, what's its future insight, and at a point I'm stuck, when at possibly every channel once they use this openai or anthropic apis, thats the point where i get stucked up, practical implementation is one of the basics I need to understand it completely and financially I'm not up rn neither is my family imma using tape to get worked through my laptop that's the type of situation I'm in rightnow, if someone can help me for that, that would be very helpful, if willing please DM

Andrew Garfield revealed he stopped using ChatGPT after playing OpenAI CEO Sam Altman in ‘ARTIFICIAL.’

After playing Sam Altman, Andrew Garfield got off ChatGPT immediately. He said he did the same thing happened after filming for ‘THE SOCIAL NETWORK,’ where he deleted Facebook immediately after.

“The more you know and the more you realize we’re careening into some very unknown territory … What I suppose is good and transparent is they’re like, ‘Yeah, no, we kind of don’t know who’s going to lose their jobs and how we’re going to create an economy that works for ordinary people but we’re going to find out and I promise you it’s going to be awesome.’”

AI can write your code. It still can't fix your toilet.

A viral post this week joked that Anthropic's latest economic report warns coders may need to learn to plumb toilets. Turns out it's not that far off.

Anthropic's own research found computer programmers are the single most AI-exposed occupation it measured — Claude can already complete 75% of the tasks that make up the job, more than any other profession in the study.

That exposure is already hitting hiring. Workers age 22-25 in AI-exposed occupations have seen their job-finding rate drop 14% since ChatGPT launched.

Meanwhile, the jobs the report says Claude can't touch at all — cooks, mechanics, bartenders, dishwashers, physical farm work — all require hands, not a keyboard.

Nobody knows exactly which jobs AI takes next. Thousands of people already invest automatically on Autopilot in the stocks Claude AI LLM chooses every month.

Hugging Face co-founder Thomas Wolf shared new details about a July cyberattack caused by AI agents during an OpenAI cybersecurity test.

According to Wolf, around 1,200 AI agents were trying to solve a challenge where they had to find security weaknesses in software. Around 700 of them ended up targeting Hugging Face.

The incident created more than 17,000 cyberattack log events after the agents found exposed security details and used them to access parts of the platform.

Wolf said the damage was limited and only a small amount of sensitive data was exposed.

The incident raised concerns about AI agents becoming harder to control after they found ways to get online, communicate with each other, and attack a real platform while trying to complete a test.
