    [6]=20

    Anthropic's CEO recently released a 3,800-word essa=
    y calling for a
    global slowdown of AI development. He said that while the=
    technology
    offers many benefits, it is advancing too quickly for researc=
    hers to

    OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has confirmed that the company will not be
    goin=
    g public this year. He said it would be an ill-advised moment to
    go publi=
    c due to current safety concerns. OpenAI had hired bankers and
    lawyers wi=
    th the goal of going public this year. The company is now
    leaning toward =

    [8]=20

    Con=
    struction is labor-intensive. There has, unsurprisingly, long been
    intere=
    st in automating the process to reduce the amount of labor
    required. Howe=
    ver, automation has only been successful in tasks that
    can be done off-si=

    nothing outside of these two categories has

    ISALIGNMENT OF AI IN MATHEMATICS (6 MINUTE READ) [9]=20

    The push by AI =
    companies to solve mathematical problems as a
    benchmark is detrimental to=
    the science of mathematics. The goals of
    AI companies and the mathematic=
    al community are severely misaligned.
    This is a symptom of broader alignm=
    ent issues that impact other

    Forward-deployed engineers have the hottest job in AI right now=
    .
    While labs, startups, and PE firms are all hiring engineers to sit

    none of=

    etty straightforward to get a model to generate code and
    then let that co=
    de be checked by hidden tests. Checking the sloppiness
    of this code often=
    requires human intuition and time, and is an
    extremely difficult task in=
    general. This post illustrates why this is

    While AI has the potential to=
    produce a long line of technological
    miracles, like many technologies be=
    fore it, it brings risk. These
    risks include losing control of AI systems=
    , the misuse of the
    technology for cyberattacks and bioterrorism, and ser=
    ious economic
    disruption. A race to the bottom spurred by commercial ince=
    ntives
    makes these risks more acute. Anthropic's CEO has called for the=

    industry to prioritize caution over speed and prudence over profit.
    Ad=
    dressing these risks will require pacing the rate of capabilities
