YouTube says the new tool will let users create a digital version of themselves, called an avatar, that can be inserted into existing Shorts videos or used to generate entirely new ones. The company said avatars will "look and sound like you," framing them as a safer and more secure way to use AI to … Read the full story at The Verge.

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
