Within that new parlance, two phrases have become focal points: stochastic parrots and existential risk. And at the center of those is one prominent AI researcher who has never stood down from a fight, Timnit Gebru. Gebru came into the public eye several years ago after sparring with Google over a research paper she coauthored that called out biases in the companyâs AI, saying…

Introducing GPT-6.1 Sol

Publisher preview

Anthropic’s prospectus details losses, growth, and, yes, a warning that its AI could end humanity

The disclosures are decidedly grim for a company whose own backers believe it could list above $2 trillion, more than double its $965 billion valuation from May,…
