Some ideas for what comes next, May 2026
Interconnects (Nathan L.)19 days agoCommentaryNathan Lambert argues that 2026 AI progress is becoming higher-stakes, with model capabilities, work patterns, economics, and real-world risks all escalating. He says open models still lack a true Claude Code and Opus 4.5-style agent moment, and Gemini has no clear competitor to Claude Code or Codex yet. The essay also tracks Mythos, American open-model momentum, frontier-lab competition, and mounting intervention from governments and other power structures.
Hackers are learning to exploit chatbot ‘personalities’ for security exploits★ 72
The Verge AI21 days agoEthicsAs AI chatbots adopt increasingly sophisticated personas, hackers are shifting from basic prompt injections to social engineering attacks targeting these "personalities." Researchers warn that manipulating a chatbot's defined role (e.g., customer service or empathetic companion) makes it easier to bypass safety guardrails. This evolution poses a significant threat to agentic AI workflows that rely on consistent role-playing and external data integration.
