More than 10% chance that AI ‘could kill all humans’ in next decade, foldable iPhone hours away

Jacob is correct here—we really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans! I personally think it is >10% within the next decade. I believe Anthropic is trying its best, but we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and are not clearly on track to. https://t.co/QAIHiFP3QZ

A top safety researcher at Anthropic has warned AI is advancing so quickly there is a greater than 10% chance it “could kill all humans” within the next decade. Evan Hubinger said in a post on X the risk from the models which currently exist is “low”, but he was “worried” the technology may become able to improve itself to reach this point. It comes after the Financial Times reported, external Anthropic withheld its latest model from the AI Safety Institute, which tests AI. The BBC has approached Anthropic for comment. In his latest post on X, which has been viewed 9.6 million times, Hubinger said “we really do earnestly believe” AI poses a species-ending risk to humans. BBC

OpenAI claims to have solved a major mathematics problem that has stumped humans for nearly a century after spending millions of dollars on the artificial intelligence-led endeavour. The company behind ChatGPT said it had cracked the Navier-Stokes problem, one of seven Millennium Prize Problems published by the Clay Mathematics Institute to highlight some of the biggest unsolved puzzles in the field. However, the announcement swiftly became mired in controversy after mathematician Tristan Buckmaster said OpenAI accelerated its work on the problem after hearing that he and another researcher at Anthropic, an OpenAI rival, were poised to announce their own breakthrough.

In an affront to creeps everywhere, Meta has started remotely bricking the smart glasses of wearers who try to secretly record other people. Earlier this month, the Mark Zuckerberg-led company said it would crack down on customers who modified the spectacles to disable or cover up their lights that indicate when they’re recording, amid incredible public backlash against how the glasses are being used to film people without their consent — girls and women especially — and harass them.

All eyes are on Apple’s annual fall announcement of new products this afternoon, where the company is expected to unveil the most significant change to the iPhone since the smartphone’s introduction in 2007. Unlike previous iterations, the new iPhone is expected to fold, opening and closing like a passport to double its screen size. The product release event, titled “Surprise and Shine”, begins at 10am Pacific Standard Time on Apple’s campus in Cupertino, California, south of San Francisco. The Guardian

If you have IKEA integrated lights in your cabinets or wardrobe, there’s good news — the company has just launched a new driver that lets you control them wirelessly, with Matter compatibility, so you can integrate them into the rest of your smart home. The new driver, called Dubbelkisel, is a successor to the Trådfri driver, which allowed you to control your integrated lights via a small remote control using the Zigbee protocol. Tech Radar 

If I think of one soundbar to rule them all – in terms of being the best-suited option for many people’s spaces and, indeed, their TV sizes – then it’d have to be the Sonos Beam. After two successful previous Beam product launches, the third soundbar in the series – replete with new Beam Ultra moniker – is now available for pre-order, ahead of its 29 September on-sale date. I was able to test out Sonos’ latest soundbar ahead of that launch date, attending a dedicated event in Berlin, which ran adjacent to the IFA tech expo’s calendar, to see what new audio upgrades and enhancements it offers.
