As we scale and bring our fully autonomous ride-hailing service to more people across the globe, we continue to refine the Waymo experience and deliver more for our riders. You spoke, and we listened to how we can offer an even more elevated experience for you, our top riders. Introducing: Waymo Premier.
What If We Had Bigger Brains? Imagining Minds Beyond Ours
Stephen Wolfram explores how the number of neural connections affects capabilities like language and abstraction. How far we could go accounting for neural nets and LLMS, the fundamental nature of computation, neuroscience and the operation of brains.
Why today's humanoids won't learn dexterity
In this post I explain why today’s humanoid robots will not learn how to be dexterous despite the hundreds of millions, or perhaps many billions of dollars, being donated by VCs and major tech companies to pay for their training.
A €0.01 bank transfer could compromise a banking AI agent
Blue41 helps regulated organizations monitor AI agent behavior, detect manipulation and misuse, and prove that sensitive workflows stay within safe boundaries.
Prompt injection attacks against GPT-3
Riley Goodside, yesterday: Exploiting GPT-3 prompts with malicious inputs that order the model to ignore its previous directions. pic.twitter.com/I0NVr9LOJq- Riley Goodside (@goodside) September 12, 2022 Riley provided several examples. Here’s …
Machine learning’s crumbling foundations
Technological debt is insidious, a kind of socio-infrastructural subprime crisis that's unfolding around us in slow motion. Our digital infrastructure is built atop layers and layers and layers of code that's insecure due to a combination of bad practices and bad frameworks.

A PM's Guide to AI Agent Architecture
A complete guide to agent architecture, orchestration patterns, trust strategies, and adoption plans for PMs building AI agents.
Hash: A free, online platform for modeling
Sometimes simulating complex systems is the best way to understand them.
Researchers unveil a pruning algorithm to shrink deep learning models
MIT researchers have proposed a technique for shrinking deep learning models that they say is simpler and produces more accurate results than state-of-the-art methods. It works by retraining the smaller, pruned model at its faster, initial learning rate.
Add an AI Code Copilot to your product using GPT-4
The AI Code Copilot has been replaced by the more powerful AI Chat feature.
Neural network from scratch
In this edition of Napkin Math, we’ll invoke the spirit of the Napkin Math series to establish a mental model for how a neural network works by building one from scratch. In a future issue we will do napkin math on performance, as establishing the first-principle understanding is plenty of ground to cover for today!

AI helps ship faster but it produces 1.7× more bugs
We analyzed 470 open-source GitHub pull requests, using CodeRabbit’s structured issue taxonomy and found that AI generated code creates 1.7x more issues.
Bing Image Creator
Last month we introduced the new AI-powered Bing and Microsoft Edge, your copilot for the web – delivering better search, complete answers, a new chat experience and the ability to create content. Already, we have seen that chat is reinventing how people search with more than 100 million chats to date. We’ve seen…

A practical guide to working with AI coding agents without the hype.
Bypassing Gmail's spam filters with ChatGPT
If you haven’t been living under a rock, you probably already know what ChatGPT is. I am an operator of high bandwidth Tor exit relays, and with that, I get a lot of abuse complaints. Combined with the fact that I have ai lease on a “/24” of IPv4 space, basically a block of 256 IP addresses, I have the IP space’s…
Jellyfin LLM/"AI" Development Policy
The rise of LLMs as a useful development tool over the last year or so has been significant. The power and flexibility of tools like Claude Code and ChatGPT have given a lot of functionality both to experienced developers and new developers alike. But there are trade-offs.
