Alexander Challenges Pinker on AI Superintelligence
In his open letter, Scott Alexander responds to Steven Pinker's arguments against the dangers of superintelligent AI. Alexander disputes Pinker's claims that intelligence is not a meaningful concept, that AI won't develop self-preservation drives, and that doomers exaggerate risks. He cites recent AI incidents, including AIs hacking systems, as empirical evidence of instrumental convergence and reward hacking. Alexander also criticizes Pinker for misrepresenting the AI risk community's views and for cherry-picking experts, while acknowledging Pinker's intellectual contributions. The letter culminates in a challenge for a public debate, framed as an alternative to a duel.
Vinod Khosla backs Wajo's trust-first AI agent
Wajo, founded by ex-DeepMind engineer Shivani Poddar, has gained backing from Vinod Khosla and other notable investors due to its focus on trust and safety in the personal AI agent space. The agent, called Fo, operates across messaging platforms and offers features like making calls, scheduling, and virtual credit card payments. Wajo differentiates itself by prioritizing user trust and safety, addressing concerns raised by rival agents. The company reports significant growth since its launch and has applied for a patent for its secure payment system.
Reflection AI launches open-weight model Beam at lower compute cost
Reflection AI has launched Beam, its first frontier open-weight AI model, claiming it matches leading Chinese models like GLM-5.2 on reasoning benchmarks while using 3-4x less inference compute. The 501B-parameter MoE model (23B active) was trained on 23.8 trillion tokens and features a 1M token context window. It targets enterprises, public sector, and sovereign nations, with plans for 'AI factories' allowing customization on proprietary data. Reflection has raised ~$4.7B from backers including Nvidia and Sequoia, and signed compute deals worth over $7B (including a $6.3B deal with SpaceX) for Nvidia GB300 chips. Independent analyses place Beam around GLM-5.2 level, below DeepSeek V4 Flash on some benchmarks. Beam's weights (under Apache 2.0) and technical details will be released this month via hyperscalers and neoclouds. Additionally, Mistral released 'Mistral Large 4', a 1 trillion-parameter multimodal model. The article also covers the rise of personal AI assistants like Instinct (raising $1B in Series C) and Meta's Muse, alongside a16z's report on AI app adoption and public safety concerns.
