101 Humans of New York on the Risks of AI
Nobody has ever done an in person door to door survey about AI risks[1]. What do people really think about AI? Like really? There have been some surveys on the risks from AI. But there’s a real difference between looking at numbers on page vs. the feeling of talking to our fellow humans. I[2] asked 101 people what they thought about the impact of AI. Approximately half of the responses were from ringing doorbells, and half were from asking people out and about[3]. Every single one of these was in person face to face. Around 10 respondents only spoke Spanish and were surveyed in Spanish[4]. Here are the results. The top level results are very strong when it comes to showing interest in regulating AI. Everything else will be reflections on the results/process and all the qualitative data I picked up from this process. Thoughts on some Specific Questions This question was the longest and most complex question. I basically have to read out all of the options since it's not on a simple sc

Goodbye, Llama? Meta launches new proprietary AI model Muse Spark — first since Superintelligence Labs' formation
Meta has been one of the most interesting companies of the generative AI era — initially gaining a loyal and huge following of users for the release of its mostly open source Llama family of large language models (LLMs) beginning in early 2023 but coming to screeching halt last year after Llama 4 debuted to mixed reviews and ultimately, admissions of gaming benchmarks. That bumpy rollout of Llama 4 apparently spurred Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg to totally overhaul Meta's AI operations in the summer of 2025, forming a new internal division, Metal Superintelligence Labs (MSL) which he recruited 29-year-old former Scale AI co-founder and CEO Alexandr Wang to lead as Chief AI Officer. Now, today, Meta is showing us the fruits of that effort: Muse Spark, a new proprietary model that Wang says (posting on rival social network X, used more often by the machine learning community) is "the most powerful model that meta has released," and has "support for tool-use, visual chain of thou
New framework lets AI agents rewrite their own skills without retraining the underlying model
One major challenge in deploying autonomous agents is building systems that can adapt to changes in their environments without the need to retrain the underlying large language models (LLMs). Memento-Skills, a new framework developed by researchers at multiple universities, addresses this bottleneck by giving agents the ability to develop their skills by themselves. "It adds its continual learning capability to the existing offering in the current market, such as OpenClaw and Claude Code," Jun Wang, co-author of the paper, told VentureBeat. Memento-Skills acts as an evolving external memory, allowing the system to progressively improve its capabilities without modifying the underlying model. The framework provides a set of skills that can be updated and expanded as the agent receives feedback from its environment. For enterprise teams running agents in production, that matters. The alternative — fine-tuning model weights or manually building skills — carries significant operational ove

Meta is reentering the AI race with a new model called Muse Spark
Meta Superintelligence Labs is launching its first model since Mark Zuckerberg spent billions overhauling the company's AI efforts.

In the coming weeks, Meta says, it will appear in WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, and Meta's smart glasses, as well as roll out in other countries.
