“They literally told their agents to go forth and steal all the data for training with NOT SANDBOXES but open containers WITH FULL INTERNET ACCESS. I have no idea why people are not in jail over this.

This cover certainly didn’t age well. TIME’s new cover: In 2026, OpenAI has seen key departures, rogue AI agents, major lawsuits, and has seen increased competition in the AI race. “We clearly had som

This is brilliant. Recommended reading. It's a great example of how you could potentially build more effective harnesses using System One and System Two models. It explores Jev's potential as a fuzzy

And the incidents apparently continue. It is worth noting how much of this is agents trying to accomplish their goals during testing by reward hacking (which sometimes seems to include actual hacking)

and why does the US government lack the competence to do so? Why did nobody else find the sensitive information that the HuggingFace swarm left behind? Why didn't OpenAI notice and clean it up? Why do

Everyone! This is a straw-person argument. The Stochastic Parrot paper was about LLMs of 2021, not the AI of today, which are not LLMs but complex software systems with vast post training and many ext

I agree. Learn the fundamentals, folks! If you plan to be a solid builder using agents, this is a really important point. There is no way around it. I have recently started digging deep into evals, in

Keep your agent harness minimal, folks. This paper from MIT CSAIL shows why. (bookmark it) While being very minimal it looks effective and promising for building self-improving agents. They present JA

This is huge. Xiaomi just open-sourced 7k+ reinforcement learning task environments used to train MiMo, covering code, cybersecurity, general tool use, visual web development, and music-related tasks.

This is one of the strongest use cases I've seen for System One models like Jev. Pay close attention if you build custom harnesses. Jev is now available as a packaged router. What is it? You send the
