The AI research community has done it again. We’ve taken a genuine engineering achievement, wrapped it in aspirational terminology, and presented it as evidence of emerging intelligence. The latest exhibit: RLAD (Reinforcement Learning with Abstracti...

OpenAI’s GPT-5, “built specifically with agentic tasks in mind” and “our best performing model on complex, economically valuable knowledge work,” has ignited a firestorm of excitement. Microsoft declares “we’ve entered the era of AI agents” thanks to...

The Story We Tell Ourselves For the past year, I’ve watched the AI community embrace a compelling narrative: that reinforcement learning (RL) has finally transformed large language models from sophisticated autocomplete into genuine reasoning engines...

“We’ve developed methods to detect and mitigate scheming in AI systems through deliberative alignment training.” That’s how Apollo Research and OpenAI want you to understand their recent collaboration. It sounds urgent, sophisticated—the kind of brea...

As we navigate the middle of 2025, the artificial intelligence sector finds itself in a precarious position. What began as legitimate technological advancement has morphed into a speculative bubble of unprecedented proportions—one that exhibits all t...

In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, we're witnessing a curious phenomenon: a single technology being marketed as the solution to virtually every problem imaginable. OpenAI, once focused on transparent research, now seems to ...
