The Download: our thawing permafrost, and a drone-filled future

MIT Technology Review

Plus: America's first AI law is here Scientists can see Earth's permafrost thawing from space Something is rotten in the city of Nunapitchuk. In recent years, sewage has leached into the earth. The ground can feel squishy, sodden. This small town in northern Alaska is experiencing a sometimes overlooked consequence of climate change: thawing permafrost. And Nunapitchuk is far from the only Arctic town to find itself in such a predicament. Now scientists think they may be able to use satellite data to delve deep beneath the ground's surface and get a better understanding of how the permafrost thaws, and which areas might be most severely affected.


The U.K. Lacks the Ability to Respond to AI Disasters, New Report Warns

TIME - Tech

Welcome back to, TIME's new twice-weekly newsletter about AI. If you're reading this in your browser, why not subscribe to have the next one delivered straight to your inbox? A major AI-enabled disaster is becoming increasingly likely as AI capabilities advance. But a new report from a London-based think tank warns that the British government does not have the emergency powers necessary to respond to AI-enabled disasters like the disruption of critical infrastructure or a terrorist attack. The U.K. must give its officials new powers including being able to compel tech companies to share information and restrict public access to their AI models in an emergency, argues the report, which was shared exclusively with TIME ahead of its publication on Tuesday by the Centre for Long-Term Resilience (CLTR).


It's time to prepare for AI personhood Jacy Reese Anthis

The Guardian

'Digital minds will be participants in the social contract that forms the bedrock of human society.' 'Digital minds will be participants in the social contract that forms the bedrock of human society.' It's time to prepare for AI personhood Technological advances will bring social upheaval. How will we treat digital minds, and how will they treat us? L ast month, when OpenAI released its long-awaited chatbot GPT-5, it briefly removed access to a previous chatbot, GPT-4o. Despite the upgrade, users flocked to social media to express confusion, outrage and depression.


Discriminative Metric Learning by Neighborhood Gerrymandering

Neural Information Processing Systems

We formulate the problem of metric learning for k nearest neighbor classification as a large margin structured prediction problem, with a latent variable representing the choice of neighbors and the task loss directly corresponding to classification error. We describe an efficient algorithm for exact loss augmented inference,and a fast gradient descent algorithm for learning in this model. The objective drives the metric to establish neighborhood boundaries that benefit the true class labels for the training points. Our approach, reminiscent of gerrymandering (redrawing of political boundaries to provide advantage to certain parties), is more direct in its handling of optimizing classification accuracy than those previously proposed. In experiments on a variety of data sets our method is shown to achieve excellent results compared to current state of the art in metric learning.

Should College Get Harder?

The New Yorker

A.I. is coming for knowledge work, and yet college seems to be getting easier. Does something need to change? Around twenty years ago, when I was a graduate student in English, I taught a class in a special observation room at my university's teaching center. My students and I sat around a long oval table while cameras recorded us. I can't remember which novel we discussed, but I do know what I learned when I watched the tape afterward, with a teaching coach. She pointed out that, when I was calling on students, I often looked to my right, missing the raised hands on my left. I didn't let silences go on long enough, instead speaking just when a student had worked up the courage to talk. On the plus side, she noticed I'd been using a technique she liked, which I'd borrowed from a professor of mine: it was like cold-calling, except that, after you'd surprised a student with a challenging question, you told them that you'd circle back in a few minutes, to give them time to consider what they'd say.
