Hand-picked News
If AI gets smarter than us (and it will), Geoffrey Hinton says our only hope is to teach it to love us.
Hinton warns of a 10ā20% chance that AI could wipe out humanity and says most experts agree itās possible within 20 years
He slams the ātech broā strategy of keeping AI submissive: āTheyāll be much smarter than us. Thatās not going to work.ā
His radical fix? Build maternal instincts into AI so it genuinely cares about humans, like a mother does her child
Hinton spoke at Ai4 in Vegas and later to CNN, arguing that smart AI will naturally seek control and survival and could manipulate us like toddlers with candy.
ā ļø If we donāt embed empathy into these systems now, weāre creating alien minds with no reason to keep us around.
š Quick thought experiment: What would āmaternal AIā actually look like in product design? Could it change how we build assistants, agents, even robots?
The UK just tapped one of AIās most trusted minds to help shape national strategy and sheās not here to play safe.
Jade Leung, former OpenAI governance lead, is now the UK Prime Ministerās official AI advisor
Sheās also CTO of the AI Security Institute and was named one of Timeās 100 Most Influential People in AI
Her mission: help the UK unlock AIās benefits while preparing for disruption at scale
Leung co-founded the Centre for the Governance of AI and spent nearly a decade navigating frontier labs, VC, and policy. She replaces Matt Clifford, who called her appointment āa major upgrade.ā
ā Governments need insiders who understand both the tech and the risks. Leungās track record makes her a rare bridge between innovation and regulation.

OpenAIās biggest launch yet turned into a lesson in emotional UX and Altmanās owning it.
GPT-5 dropped with bold claims, but users slammed it for cold, short replies and missing emotional depth
OpenAI removed older models and the model picker, triggering subscription threats and social media revolt
GPT-4o is now back for Plus users, and Altman promises to make GPT-5 āwarmerā and more human-like
Altman admitted the rollout underestimated how deeply users are attached to the personality of their AI tools. āWeāve learned a lesson,ā he said, after usage spiked but sentiment tanked.
ā ļø This proves that performance alone isnāt enough - emotional tone is now product-critical in AI. If your model feels off, users will walk.
š Building AI? Donāt just optimize for speed or accuracy. Ask: does it feel good to talk to?
