Here are the 10 most important bits of news from the article, in my opinion:
Nvidia unveiled its new Blackwell AI chips which are claimed to be 25 times more power efficient when clustered together compared to previous chips.
Inflection AI’s CEO Mustafa Suleyman and most of its 70 employees are leaving to join Microsoft to form Microsoft AI. This is seen as essentially an acquisition of Inflection without regulatory approval.
Sam Altman is making bold predictions about GPT-5, saying it will make significant progress and those who underestimate its capabilities will be “steamrolled.” He expressed confidence AGI is feasible with sufficient compute.
An International Dialogue on AI Safety was held in Beijing with leading global AI scientists calling for red lines in AI development to prevent catastrophic and existential risks. This shows increased international coordination on AI safety issues.
A working paper by Korinek and Suh analyzes how output and wages may behave under scenarios culminating in AGI. It finds wages could collapse if full automation is reached faster than capital accumulation.
A new paper by David Krueger et al. tackles the question of how to make a “safety case” to prove an AI system is safe before deployment, breaking the process into 6 steps.
A poll from AIPI shows strong American support for AI regulation, concern about deepfakes and open-sourcing of powerful AI models, desire for safety research, and prioritizing benefits to humanity over speed of advancement.
The Stanford Stable Diffusion 3 paper was released, showing the upcoming open-source model to be competitive with current SOTA commercial models. SD3 is expected to be the first model to reliably spell words correctly.
AI-generated bizarre images are being used as spam content on Facebook to promote links to ad-filled spam sites, gaming the algorithm for high engagement. This demonstrates potential for AI-powered disinformation.
Elon Musk issued concerning statements that “woke AI” that optimizes for diversity “at all costs” could be dangerous and potentially kill people. While exaggerated, this gestures at valid concerns about AI optimizing for the wrong objective.

Please list the ten best insights or soundbites or opinions from the article. Be brief.
CLAUDE:
“If we can harness all of AI’s potential and mitigate its downsides, we will advance progress for people around the world.”—A true but content-free political statement.
Altman: GPT-5 “will make significant progress as a model taking a leap forward in advanced reasoning capabilities.” Implies GPT-5 will be a major advance.
Asking if woke AI could kill people “is the wrong threat model. What matters is the ‘all costs,’ and ‘directed to do anything’.” Focus on the real dangers.
Michael Vassar: Hoping leaders will make good choices to save themselves is naive—they’re more bound by class interests than self-interest.
Offense-defense balance in cybersecurity is shifting due to AI; if defenders don’t keep up, “we are likely to see many dramatic AI-enabled incidents.”
There’s no known way to prove a capable AI system is safe. Inability to prove safety doesn’t get the requirement waived.
Polls show strong public support for AI regulation and concern over open-sourcing models. We must not lose track of clear public preferences.
Elon Musk: “AI will probably be smarter than any single human next year. By 2029, AI is probably smarter than all humans combined.” Very bold prediction.
Nvidia’s new Blackwell chips clustered together claimed to be 25x more power efficient. Could undermine compute being a key limiting factor for AI progress.
International Dialogue on AI Safety with top scientists calling for red lines shows increased global coordination on existential AI risks.
