Wondering about a Theoretical Scenario [D]
So, let's say some random guy in the middle of nowhere finds or invents an algorithm leading to true AI* / AGI. What should that guy even do? Making it open source would let absolutely anyone make AI. Of course, "anyone" includes both the most altruistic people on Earth and psychopaths hellbent on causing misery on others. Making a research paper would be similar to making it open-source (I think? Correct me if I'm wrong). Can't patent an algorithm I don't think. Sharing the tech to a known tech company is like choosing open source but only the psychopath option (but for making money instead of causing misery; though the misery is implied). Sharing the tech to the government would mean sharing the tech to a government. Not sharing it all would mean that the tech might fade into obscurity. But it would also mean that, eventually, somebody else will just invent it again and fall into the same dilemma; and who knows what their morals will be. * on true AI - It's just my opinion, bu
Cloud development platform Vercel was hacked
Vercel, a major development platform that hosts and deploys web apps, was compromised, and the hackers are attempting to sell stolen data. A person claiming to be a member of ShinyHunters, which was behind the recent hack of Rockstar Games, posted some data online, including employee names, email addresses, and activity time stamps. Vercel confirmed in a post on X that a "security incident" had occurred, and that it impacted a "limited subset" of its customers. Vercel said that a compromised third-party AI tool was the avenue for attack, though it did not specify which third-party was involved. We've identified a security incident that inv … Read the full story at The Verge.

Chinese tech workers are starting to train their AI doubles–and pushing back

FD-NL2SQL: Feedback-Driven Clinical NL2SQL that Improves with Use
arXiv:2604.15646v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Clinicians exploring oncology trial repositories often need ad-hoc, multi-constraint queries over biomarkers, endpoints, interventions, and time, yet writing SQL requires schema expertise. We demo FD-NL2SQL, a feedback-driven clinical NL2SQL assistant for SQLite-based oncology databases. Given a natural-language question, a schema-aware LLM decomposes it into predicate-level sub-questions, retrieves semantically similar expert-verified NL2SQL exemplars via sentence embeddings, and synthesizes executable SQL conditioned on the decomposition, retrieved exemplars, and schema, with post-processing validity checks. To improve with use, FD-NL2SQL incorporates two update signals: (i) clinician edits of generated SQL are approved and added to the exemplar bank; and (ii) lightweight logic-based SQL augmentation applies a single atomic mutation (e.g., operator or column change), retaining variants only if they return non-empty results.
