In mid-September, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei joined a growing group of researchers calling for the AI industry to slow down. While some have questioned these researchers’ motivation for voicing concerns about the rapid pace of development, the plea highlighted a key tension between safety and speed. The underlying problem is not simply a technical error, but a sociotechnical failure: Pressure to move quickly has made it hard for engineers to fully assess and manage new risks of increasingly powerful AI systems. It is a clear warning that responsible engineering requires more than technical expertise; engineers must also understand workplace pressures,…

Actor Adam Driver may have just taken a shot at Disney while at the London premiere of James Gray’s “Paper Tiger.” The film, which might earn him a third Oscar nomination, made a strong debut at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year. While speaking to reporters on the red carpet, the actor, who previously played Kylo Ren/Ben Solo in the “Star Wars” sequel trilogy, said that he felt more comfortable on smaller sets where he didn’t have to worry about “moviemaking by committee.” The ’Star Wars’ Sequel Trilogy Was Criticized For Its Lack Of Clear Vision 3Xavier Collin/Image Press…
A ZOMBIE PATHOGEN?As far-fetched as the appearance of a zombie pathogen might sound, consider that thawing Siberian permafrost after a hot, dry summer led to a 2016 anthrax outbreak that killed a 12-year-old boy and more than 2,300 reindeer.In 2023, scientists from France, Germany and Russia published a paper warning that the health risks of melting permafrost are very real and warrant further study. But with most of the world’s permafrost located in Russia, Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has complicated research partnerships and information sharing.And as the lack of detail surrounding the suspected plague death demonstrates, it’s not at all…

The Red River Rivalry lived up to the hype on Saturday as Oklahoma knocked off No. 1 Texas, 27-24, thanks to a walk-off 47-yard field goal from Tate Sandell as time expired. While Sandell will get the glory for making the kick, and while there were a couple of huge throws from John Mateer to Isaiah Sategna to set up the field goal, the biggest story from the fourth quarter is going to be the absolute crunch-time meltdown from Texas quarterback Arch Manning.Arch Manning’s fourth-quarter meltdown was big difference for Texas, OklahomaManning did some good things on Saturday, throwing three touchdowns…
On Monday, thousands across Puget Sound showed up for their ferry and found it tied to the dock. Twenty-three engine room workers had called out sick, every qualified replacement turned down the shift and at one point 13 of the state’s 18 operating ferries sat idle.Washington State Ferries’ social media explanation came with a salary attached. Staff chief engineers, the agency wrote, “have a base salary of $157,000, and can make more than $350,000 a year with overtime.”But the staff chief is a vessel’s most senior chief engineer, the third-highest-paid job on board. The assistant engineers, oilers and wipers make…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways The best mentors treat every conversation as a two-way exchange, asking questions that sharpen the other person’s thinking while staying open to having their own views challenged. A four-step process of building self-awareness, gathering feedback from five people, separating perception from reality and refining your defining stories creates growth for both mentor and mentee. Early in the evolution of social media marketing, I was interviewing a recent college graduate for an entry-level position. During the conversation, I found myself explaining how organizations were beginning to embrace social media as an…
Vaccines pack a punch: The shots save lives, but they can also often cause minor side effects such as muscle soreness, fatigue and fever. Researchers have long wondered why some people develop these reactions while others seem to skate by unaffected. The reason, it turns out, may have to do with the bacteria in our guts.In a new study published in Science on Thursday, researchers collected stool samples from more than 170 people before and after a second or third dose of a COVID vaccine. They found that people who experienced fever after the shot tended to share similar microbiome…
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. — Even as he makes a case that Republicans should win the midterm congressional elections, President Donald Trump is bracing for the fallout should they lose.Someone is bound to get blamed, and Trump said at a rally in Tennessee on Saturday that he expects it will be him.“If we don’t win the midterms, they’re going to blame me,” Trump said. “You know that. And if we do win them, I will get no credit whatsoever. It’s true. I won’t get any.”“But I’m working my ass off,” he added. “You better get out there and vote.”Trump is in “grind…
