Claude Code's revised projects adds AI orchestration, but local developers must wait
Claude Code's revised projects adds AI orchestration, but local developers must wait Claude Code Projects could change how developers manage complex AI coding workflows by coordinating threads, sharing memory, and spanning repos, but its biggest benefits are still cloud-only for now. Computer science professor turned AI innovator David Gewirtz has spent over thirty years driving advancements at the forefront of artificial intelligence and is the recipient of the Sigma Xi Research Award in Engineering. Cloud users get persistent threads and shared memory. Local workflows remain outside the new system for now. Claude Code has always had projects, in the sense that a given directory is declared as the root for source code.
How much can fair budget-division rules resist manipulation?
How much can fair budget-division rules resist manipulation? In our paper, we ask what the best achievable compromise is. We prove that the Nash product rule reaches the optimal frontier. We study settings in which a fixed, divisible resource must be distributed among candidates or projects. The resource might be public money, research funding, charitable donations or even screen time.

How, Exactly, Could A.I. Kill Us?
How, Exactly, Could A.I. Kill Us? Employees of A.I. companies are increasingly sounding the alarm. When Jacob Coxon, a mathematician and software engineer, resigned from his research job at Anthropic last week, he warned, "The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade." This would be a remarkable statement were it not for the fact that artificial-intelligence leaders have long been saying precisely this. Dario Amodei, then a research scientist at OpenAI, raised the concern that a superintelligence "could destroy humanity," adding, "I can't see any reason and principle why that couldn't happen." Earlier, in 2015, Sam Altman, just before he co-founded OpenAI, said, "I think A.I. will probably most likely lead to the end of the world, but in the meantime, there'll be great companies created with serious machine learning." Elon Musk, in 2014: "I think we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. If I were to guess at what our biggest existential threat is, it's probably that." Perhaps the only thing that's changed between then and now is that the rest of the world is finally paying attention. In recent weeks, the same technology that, a couple of years ago, couldn't count the number of "R"s in the word "strawberry"--and, a couple of days ago, insisted to me that Dolly Parton is still alive--has been used to solve the Navier-Stokes problem, which has been stumping mathematicians for nearly a century, and has also demonstrated its ability to go rogue in a series of disturbing hacking incidents. Last week, Anthropic also published a report detailing various ways in which bad actors have attempted to use the company's A.I. models, including one especially troubling case of a scientist using Claude to study a virus at a military research institute--work that could yield a vaccine, a biological weapon, or both. A few days later, Amodei published a letter calling for an industry-wide slowdown and more government regulation, to which President Donald Trump responded, on Truth Social, "The only control or'guardrails' that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!" I recently spoke on The Political Scene podcast with my colleague Joshua Rothman, a staff writer who has been covering A.I. for years, about whether we're all doomed, and what it would even look like for A.I. to destroy humanity. Can A.I. leaders save us from their own creation, and how can the government coรถperate in order to do so? And is A.I.'s capacity to do good--its potential to mitigate climate change or innovate medical treatments--hopelessly intertwined with its capacity to do bad? Our conversation has been edited for length and clarity. A lot of people in the world of artificial intelligence are talking about their P(doom) number, which is the probability that artificial intelligence will lead to an absolutely catastrophic situation--possibly, or probably, killing us all.

The boss of Snapchat says the firm would be willing to implement time limits for teens, following a call from Meta for it to take action. Evan Spiegel told the BBC in an interview at the company's California headquarters that he believed setting a maximum amount of time that young users could spend on the app could be an important step forward for the industry. His comments came as the firm revealed a slew of new features for its upcoming Specs glasses, which it said could connect to Apple iPhone and Mac devices.

British soldier who died in Ukraine road accident named by MoD
The member of the UK armed forces who died in a road traffic accident in Ukraine last week has been named as Major Paul Wilks. The Ministry of Defence (MoD) described the 40-year-old as a gifted leader who earned the admiration and respect of all those fortunate enough to have served alongside him. The incident on Saturday was not the result of hostile action, the BBC understands, with the MoD stating that the accident happened away from the front lines. Defence Secretary Wes Streeting said: Major Wilks served this country with pride and dedication. His loss will be deeply felt by those around him.
'Godfather of AI' says tech regulation is nearing Covid-style pivot moment

'Godfather of AI' says tech regulation is nearing Covid-style pivot moment Concerns over AI safety are reaching a point where governments realise they must act to protect the public, similarly to in the Covid pandemic, according to one of the "godfathers" of the technology. Yoshua Bengio said recent events, including a "swarm" of OpenAI agents hacking a startup and tech insider warnings of an existential threat, were cutting through - making government action more likely. The Canadian computer scientist, a prominent voice in the campaign to rein in breakneck AI development, said he was now "more optimistic than many observers because I see the public moving".
