Meta Platforms experienced a notable price move of 9%, significantly outpacing the broader market’s 5% gain over the same period. This upward momentum coincides with their collaboration with Booz Allen Hamilton on the Space Llama AI tech stack, an initiative that underscores Meta’s capability in advancing AI technology for both space operations and terrestrial industries. The innovative characteristics of Space Llama, especially its application in space missions, may have bolstered investor confidence, adding weight to the broader positive market trends. As the market sees continued recovery, Meta’s developments highlight its potential contribution to technological advancements. Every company has risks, and…

AI is disrupting how code is written, but not all sectors of the economy are taking it up the same way. A new report from Anthropic, the AI research company behind Claude, reveals striking trends in how artificial intelligence is reshaping software development. Based on an analysis of 500,000 coding-related interactions across Claude.ai and Claude Code, Anthropic’s specialized coding agent, the findings highlight a divide in AI adoption, with startups outpacing enterprises in leveraging AI for coding tasks. The report also underscores the dominance of web-development languages like JavaScript and HTML, signaling that user-facing applications are a primary focus for…

Staff inside Google DeepMind are attempting to unionise in order to challenge the tech company’s ties with the Israeli government and its decision to sell artificial intelligence technologies to defence groups, according to reports.  Figures with knowledge of the organising spoke to the Financial Times and said approximately 300 employees inside Google DeepMind, the company’s artificial intelligence London office, want to join the Communication Workers Union (CWU).   “We’re putting two and two together and think the technology we’re developing is being used in the conflict [in Gaza],” said one engineer involved in the unionisation effort.  “This is basically cutting-edge…

Geoffrey Hinton, widely regarded as the ‘Godfather of AI’, has voiced his concerns about ChatGPT maker OpenAI’s move to a for-profit structure. Hinton has signed an open letter to the Attorneys General of California and Delaware to stop OpenAI’s proposed restructuring. Besides Hinton, the letter has more than 30 signatories, including a number of former OpenAI employees and experts in the field.In a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter), Hilton criticised Openai’s for-profit push, writing, “I like Openai’s mission of ‘ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity’, and I’d like to stop them from completely gutting it.…

arXiv:2504.18530v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scalable oversight, the process by which weaker AI systems supervise stronger ones, has been proposed as a key strategy to control future superintelligent systems. However, it is still unclear how scalable oversight itself scales. To address this gap, we propose a framework that quantifies the probability of successful oversight as a function of the capabilities of the overseer and the system being overseen. Specifically, our framework models oversight as a game between capability-mismatched players; the players have oversight-specific and deception-specific Elo scores that are a piecewise-linear function of their general intelligence, with two plateaus corresponding…

Intel may lay off over 20% of workforce: reportIntel is rumored to lay off more than 20% of its workforce, according to a report by Bloomberg, citing a source close to the matter. It says the cuts are part of a broader strategy to refocus the chipmaker on an engineering-driven culture. Intel didn’t immediately respond to a Reuters request.IBM IBM.N will invest $150 billion in the U.S., including on facilities for quantum computer production, over the next five years, the latest American technology company to back the Trump administration’s push for local manufacturing.The company’s announcement on Monday follows similar pledges by tech…

TESS, launched in 2018, is the first telescope to scan the entire sky for planets by shifting its field of view every month.The disintegrating planet, named BD+05 4868 Ab, is one of just four planets of its kind that scientists have discovered.Astronomers said the cause of BD+05 4868 Ab’s rapid disintegration is its proximity to its star — 50 times closer than Earth is to the sun — and its relatively small size.“The planet got so close to its star that the heat started evaporating its surface,“ said Avi Shporer, a collaborator on the discovery and a research scientist at…

Barely a month after Elon Musk engineered the unconventional merger of his AI startup xAI and the social media platform X, the resulting entity, XAI Holdings Corp., is already looking for a massive capital injection. People familiar with the matter report that the company is in discussions with investors to secure roughly $20 billion in new funding, with suggestions the final amount could climb higher. Should the deal proceed, it could assign the combined operation a valuation exceeding $120 billion, a significant step up from the $113 billion figure cited during the March/April merger. This scale would also make it…
