Help me launch Obsolete: a book aimed at building a new movement for AI reform
I wrote a book! It’s called Obsolete: The AI Industry's Trillion-Dollar Race to Replace You—and How to Stop It, and it’ll be available in May if you preorder through my publisher (OR Books+The Nation). With it, I took on a dual mission: get anyone up to speed on the state of AI and its risks (especially skeptics and lefties) AND write something people working in the space will enjoy and learn from. An unbiased panel of early reviewers (i.e. people I know) think it succeeds. For instance, here’s a review from a skeptical friend: It felt like I was being drawn into this profound vision I had managed to keep out of my head for years… I feel this deep, visceral distrust of AI companies, and chatbots, for reasons that you were able to lay out in various places. I think I came to this like a very non-SF, non-tech, ‘normie’ who is reacting with their gut to seeing the proliferation of ai... But I also had never directly faced the story of AI, how the tech worked, and whether my skepticism w

ChatGPT has a new $100 per month Pro subscription
OpenAI has announced a new version of its ChatGPT Pro subscription that costs $100 per month. The new Pro tier offers "5x more" usage of its Codex coding tool than the $20 per month Plus subscription and "is best for longer, high-effort Codex sessions," OpenAI says. The company is introducing the new tier as it tries to win over users from Anthropic and its popular Claude Code tool. ChatGPT's $100 per month option will directly compete with Anthropic's "Max" tier for Claude, which costs the same price. It also offers a middle ground between the $20 per month Plus tier and the $200 version of the Pro tier. (Yes, there are now two tiers of " … Read the full story at The Verge.

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
