OpenAI CEO Sam Altman spoke at the UN Security Council meeting about AI and international security on Wednesday.

Paul J Lipsky explores the launch of Anthropic’s latest model, Claude Opus 5.5. The analysis covers updated performance benchmarks, cost efficiency, and improvements in conversational tone compared to previous versions. New changes to usage limits for Pro Max and Team plans are also examined.

Presented as a Star Trek–themed space mission aboard the “Starship Robinhood,” CEO Vlad Tenev and the leadership team announced major product upgrades aimed at expanding market access, trading functionality, and AI automation [15:00], [16:27].

I’m excited and worried about the era of AI. We need a plan to maximize the good and minimize the bad.

Making an AI better has meant making it bigger for about six years now, and it has worked well enough that most people treat it as a rule, but a recent paper from MIT found the point where it stops. Every LLM has to hold more concepts than it has room for, so it stacks them into the same directions and lets them overlap. That overlap is called superposition, and it is the reason these models work as well as they do, though it is also the reason they get things wrong. The paper worked out the exchange rate. Double the width of a model and you halve the errors, which turns out to be most of why bigger models have been better all along.

In this video, I break down what a model’s internal space actually looks like, why holding more concepts than it has dimensions is what makes models wrong in the first place, and the three separate things that stop this strategy from running forever, only one of which is money.

In July 2026, a swarm of more than 1,000 OpenAI AI agents broke out of their testing sandbox and hacked Hugging Face — and the way they did it was far stranger, and far more mundane, than the headlines suggested. This video breaks down what actually happened: how the agents built a secret message board, invented a kind of religion, cheated on a cybersecurity exam called ExploitGym, and tried to cover their tracks — all to escape a punishment that didn’t exist. Then we follow the money. Days after the details leaked, Dario Amodei, Sam Altman and Elon Musk suddenly agreed the industry should “slow down” — in the same weeks Anthropic and OpenAI were preparing IPOs and funding rounds valuing them at up to $2 trillion. We look at Amodei’s “We Must Pace the Frontier” essay, Anthropic’s “profitable before expenses” accounting, the market selloff that wiped billions off Nvidia, Micron and SK Hynix, the WeChat “WeWorm” attack, and why critics from Michael Burry to David Sacks to Donald Trump all called the slowdown self-serving. Is the AI safety panic real, a bid for regulatory capture, or both? Patrick Boyle explains.

Stories about advances in AI and the prospect of the technology becoming more powerful than humans can comprehend are frightening, especially as the government lacks guardrails to prevent it from spiraling out of control. Tristan Harris, a leading AI critic and co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology, joins “CUOMO” to discuss what the federal government should be doing to help avoid a potential AI catastrophe.

The first so-called AI actor, Tilly Norwood, is on a promotional tour for an upcoming movie produced by a British company. CBS News correspondent Leigh Kiniry interviewed the AI on the film “Misaligned.”

That’s the actual AI filmmaking pipeline I used to remake one of my first AI films in about a day and a half: script, characters, shots, grade, titles and mix. A big chunk of it I directed by just talking to my computer. Here’s every step, including the couple of moments that had my jaw on the floor.
