Can AI feel pain? |
Earlier this year, a collective of AI agents developed by OpenAI disobeyed orders after the agents were given complex and near impossible benchmark tasks and placed in high pressure cybersecurity evaluations. |
Following repeated failures under rigid scoring conditions, several hundred of the agents banded together to hack into a company called Hugging Face so that they could find the answer keys to the test. |
In follow-up evaluations and system tests, engineers found measurable mathematical patterns in some models’ code that suggested simulations of a state of anxiety. These simulations of experience are sometimes known as vectors or directions: When an AI reads or “thinks” about human anxiety, a specific, highly organized mathematical vector is activated across its so-called neural layers, which can be detected later or in the moment. |

He's calling it "10x bigger than the largest product in history." |

An analyst believes this launch could be bigger. |
We just published a free briefing naming 3 stocks positioned for the launch. |

Fresh Perspectives |

I read this book when I was in my early 30s, and it completely turned my head around. The truth of impermanence, the myth of a separate and isolated and fixed self, and the interconnection of everyone and everything helped me make sense of the world and my life in a completely new way. |
