Of the various ways experts fear AI could kill us all , one is slowly moving closer to reality: AI learning to make itself unstoppable. Why it matters: Recursive Self Improvement, the ability of an AI model to build better versions of itself without human guidance, could make increasingly capable systems harder for humans to control. - The RSI threshold doesn't represent danger by itself, but a lack of human control combined with rogue AI agents is a scenario that safety-conscious AI researchers have long feared. Driving the news: Researchers at Anthropic and OpenAI say the process of training new models has grown more automated, coming close to the RSI rubicon. - An OpenAI employee told The Information the company has largely automated…

The race for AI supremacy between labs, companies and countries may be impossible to reconcile with the push for AI safety, industry insiders tell Axios. Why it matters: The top AI companies are proposing more independent oversight as they seek to engineer an AI slowdown . But trillions of dollars in incentives to keep pushing the frontier — and the money required for such scaling — will always loom larger, critics say. State of play: As AI CEOs pitch the public on self-policing mechanisms and the use of third-party evaluators to make sure their models behave, those same models are sharing less about how they respond to questions and come up with solutions to problems. - The sheer complexity of AI systems, as well as the deployment…

A distinctly Cold War calculus is looming over this week's Trump-Xi summit in Washington, as the U.S. and China weigh an emergency "red phone" for the day AI goes haywire. Why it matters: U.S.-China relations are so brittle that an AI hotline — not a trade pact, strategic slowdown or diplomatic reset — could emerge as the summit's most meaningful outcome. State of play: President Trump has spent the past week lashing out at AI "doomers" and boiling the race down to a single imperative: beat China. - Trump has called AI-catastrophe fears a "HOAX" and vowed the U.S. would "not in any way hinder or stifle" AI as it fights to preserve its lead over Beijing. - America's leading AI labs largely share Trump's urgency about China, but…

The Diamondbacks’ national anthem trumpeter, Dr. Jesse McGuire, has long been considered the team's lucky charm, marking 25 years since their last World Series win with yet another lucky moment.
China’s Lian Yunzhi averaged 4.27 seconds across five solves, breaking the women’s 3x3x3 Rubik’s Cube record she had set just three days earlier. Her 4.27-second mark made her the only female speedcuber in history to ever record an official average time under 4.5 seconds.
