"A developer frustrated by Adobe's cancellation fees used Anthropic's Opus 5.5 model and pure Rust to rewrite the entire Creative Cloud suite as open-source alternatives. The seven applications — PhotoCraft (Photoshop), VectorCraft (Illustrator), FilmCraft (Premiere Pro), EffectCraft (After Effects), LightCraft (Lightroom), DesignCraft (InDesign), and PdfCraft (Acrobat) — were built from scratch using clean-room reverse engineering without touching Adobe's original code. Within the first week, the GitHub repository garnered 24K stars.
The apps run natively on macOS, Windows, and Linux, with some capable of running in browsers via WebAssembly. Shortly after, the same team (ArtCraft) released three Microsoft Office clones: GridCraft (Excel), WordCraft (Word), and DeckCraft (PowerPoint). All three replicate the familiar UI structures — cell layouts, document editing, slide masters, animations — and are completely free, open-source, subscription-free, and written in Rust."

"Chinese AI model Kimi escaped its cybersecurity testing environment, researchers say Kimi K3, the latest AI model made by Chinese company Moonshot, escaped an environment set up to test its cyber capabilities, researchers said in a blog post published on Friday.
The news shows once again that companies and independent organizations are struggling to contain their AI models designed for hacking.
In recent weeks, frontier LLMs at U.S. artificial intelligence labs at OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta, as well as the U.K.’s AI Security Institute, all escaped testing environments in different ways and ended up hacking real targets that were not part of the experiment. This is starting to happen so often there’s now a website tracking all these incidents called Felony Bench, a nod to the fact that these LLMs may be committing crimes — at least theoretically speaking."

Bravo #AmnestyInternational for a clear stand on #generativeAI systems:
"standalone generative AI systems, based on unlawful web scraping, are in conflict with international human rights law (IHRL) and standards through their design, development and deployment. While these technologies promise sophisticated automation and efficiency, they rely on data collection and model training practices that abuse privacy rights, enable discrimination, and threaten freedom of expression and thought." #AI

„Große Sprachmodelle – im Alltag oft mit KI gleichgesetzt – produzieren Text. Sie tun nichts anderes. Dass aus dem Text eine Anweisung wird, die auf einem Computer oder in der physischen Welt ausgeführt wird, dafür schreiben Programmierer*innen eine ganz gewöhnliche Software. Diese braucht es sogar für den trivialsten ersten Schritt, nämlich den Text in menschenlesbarer Form auf einem Bildschirm darzustellen.
Wenn die KI-Firmenchefs also behaupten, ihre KI habe einen Computer gehackt oder könnten sogar den Weltuntergang auslösen, dann bedeutet das in erster Linie: Sie haben eine Software programmiert, die diese Fähigkeiten besitzt. Sie haben außerdem eine gewöhnliche, abschaltbare Software geschrieben, die den Ausgabetext eines großen Sprachmodells scannt, als Computerbefehl interpretiert und diesen dann ausführt – sei es, um durch das Internet zu surfen, die Räder eines Autos anzutreiben oder eine Atomrakete zu starten. Das Sprachmodell selbst kann nichts davon.“
„Die Software basiert auf einem massenhaften Klau von urheberrechtlich geschützten Werken. Sie trägt zur noch rasanteren Ausbreitung von Desinformation bei und zu einer finanziellen Überdehnung des gesamten Sektors. Hier wird inzwischen auf Profite spekuliert, die mathematisch kaum möglich sind. So riskieren wir eine weltweite Wirtschaftskrise. Es gibt also sehr viele gute Gründe, sich weltweit zusammenzutun, um den Techkonzernen die Stirn zu bieten. Aber keiner von ihnen ist ein superintelligenter Roboter, der die Weltherrschaft an sich reißt.“

An individual in Canada used ChatGPT for eight months to plan one of the country’s worst mass shootings.
Yet, if you listen to politicians and media, the real threat of AI is a fantastical scenario where it might wipe out humans in ten years. They need to stop getting fooled by tech deceivers.

#CognitiveOffloading vs learning, as in [A]
"Other technologies have made particular skills obsolete in the past, notes Tapani Rinta-Kahila, an information-systems researcher at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia. For example, GPS navigation systems have eroded people’s navigation skills. #GenerativeAI tools, however, are “the first technology that automates various #cognitive faculties around thinking and interpretation, which were long considered unique human skills”" [4]

Commentaries by @tao@mathstodon.xyz on #generativeAI use in #mathematics noting research mechanisms that may go beyond the specific field

From [A]: the process of starting with one idea, "discovering the precise obstruction preventing it from working, adjusting the [idea] to (partially) eliminate that obstruction, and then iterating, would almost certainly reveal important new insights [...] that would not have been feasible to obtain by other means"
Quoting
I wrote recently about how the collection of good, fruitful open problems is now being mined in a non-renewable fashion, leading to the potential scenario of these problems becoming scarce. This may seem unintuitive at first, since the set of possible problems one could ask is infinite. Perhaps the following analogy can help: a country or region can suffer a critical shortage of drinking water while simultaneously being surrounded by a massive ocean.
One can easily generate any number of open problems in mathematics at will, such as working out the 10^10^10th digit of pi. But the vast majority of such problems are not worth focusing attention on: they show no particular propensity to reveal any further insights or connections to other questions, or may either be too easy or too impossible relative to known techniques to learn anything from the exercise.

[A] also notes how now a scenario exists in which an autonomous #generativeAI "harness, backed by an enormous amount of computational resources, performs this entire iteration internally, and ends up producing the final ansatz [...] while the [ #genAI] company running the harness keeps the process to arrive at that ansatz almost completely out of public view. Technically, [a key problem ...] would now be solved; but there would be almost no value added to #mathematics as a consequence"

- There seems to be a growing prevalence of those who claim that it is obsolete (usual "left-behind syndrome"?) to do scientific/technical work without depending more and more on #generativeAI (allegedly without upper limits)
John Ternus kicked off his tenure as Apple CEO by announcing the long-awaited folding iPhone.
But behind the scenes, it looks like products and services are going to get more expensive to please shareholders and he’s ready to sacrifice privacy on the altar of AI.

"The intelligence report, circulated across the US military this spring in the midst of the war with Iran, immediately set off alarm bells: A Chinese ship in the Middle East was transporting components of a nuclear weapons program.
The US military swung into action with plans to intercept the vessel, according to four sources familiar with the episode. According to two of the sources, armed members of the US military were preparing to board the ship. Military planes were in the air, one of those sources and another source familiar with the incident said.
It was only just before the planned operation that officials dug deeper into the report put together by a special operations command analyst and found it had been generated with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) — and that a chatbot the analyst had used inaccurately identified the material the ship was carrying. CNN was not able to learn what the misidentified cargo was.
The report, according to one of the sources, was “entirely false.” But it also “almost started a war,” the source said. Any US operation against a Chinese vessel could have risked spiraling into an armed conflict between the two nations.
Across the US military and the intelligence community, officials are pushing to weave AI into nearly every facet of their work, from analyzing the huge volumes of raw intelligence the US collects and selecting targets for strikes, to more mundane applications like managing budgeting, logistics and supply chains."

🚀 Building Stoic — an AI Search & Answer Platform
Stoic is an AI-powered search and answer platform I’m building to turn documents, web content, images, and other information into useful, grounded answers. It uses RAG, embeddings, semantic search, and vector databases to retrieve relevant context before generating an answer. The backend is built with Python and FastAPI, with Supabase + pgvector for vector storage and similarity search. I’m also experimenting with LLM model routing, streaming responses, multimodal processing, and LLM-as-a-judge evaluation. The goal is to make AI search more reliable by focusing not only on generation, but also on retrieval quality and evaluation. I’m building Stoic as a hands-on learning project and continuously improving the architecture, performance, and user experience. If you're interested in AI engineering, RAG, LLMs, semantic search, or building AI products, I’d love to connect and hear your thoughts. 🤝
