Elon Musk bought Twitter saying civilization needed a "common digital town square." Four years later, it's more like a live group chat for Silicon Valley's AI obsessives . Why it matters: Two years ago, X was fighting off competition from a slew of new entrants. Today, it remains relevant by becoming more niche. - The people making AI news are often debating it, explaining it and occasionally breaking it on X before the rest of the information ecosystem catches up. State of play: New model releases, research papers, demos, hiring moves, high-profile executive exits and technical arguments ricochet through X in real time. - The latest viral example came Tuesday when Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon announced his resignation on X, along…
JOE ALLEN: A few days ago, we saw President Trump in AI slop form, flanked by robot dogs and robot soldiers. The image of the future is aggressive. It’s dystopian. Maybe that’s pointed outward today. But the American people imagine, and I think quite rationally so, that these robot dogs and robot soldiers could one day be pointed towards us.
JOE ALLEN: Artificial intelligence, by way of @PalantirTech surveillance and data analytics coupled with AIs, is leading us to a place in which human beings are less and less involved in what is among the most important and sacred things that people do, which is to eliminate another human life. It may sound horrible to say that’s sacred, but I think anyone with any knowledge of history up to this point would say that warfare is in fact a sacred thing, and it’s being taken away from human beings.
AI leaders are sounding the alarm as their own breakthroughs sharpen an extraordinary dilemma: slow down and risk falling behind, or press ahead and risk losing control. Why it matters: AI executives and researchers increasingly see a race they can't safely slow on their own. Instead, they're urging governments, rivals and outside institutions to impose restraint across the field. - "The idea of racing forward at all costs seems absurd once one internalizes the seriousness of the stakes," OpenAI chief scientist Jakub Pachocki wrote Sunday. Meanwhile, Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon said Tuesday he was leaving the company rather than contribute to what he sees as a race between OpenAI and Anthropic to build systems that will be difficult…

A Russian electronics store released footage of its robot assistant allegedly striking a customer with kicks and punches after the man pushed it, but whether the incident was real or a publicity stunt remains an open question. The video, which went viral on social media, shows a male customer walking into Volga Electronics in Saratov, Russia, and extending his hand toward the store's robot assistant for a handshake. The robot ignored him. The customer then pushed the robot, and the machine responded with a flurry of kicks and punches directed squarely at the man. Two store employees rushed in to intervene, physically trying to hold the robot back. No injuries have been reported, and the store itself released the footage publicly, a…Open
It used to be that if you wanted to regulate your body's Qi (vital energy), you'd go to a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Now, you could very well go to a robot instead. At CNN's Global Perspectives event, live in Bangkok on October 14, we'll explore how modern science and centuries of ancient practice are converging.
