This week's AI claims blurred models, systems, simulations and people. The evidence becomes clearer when the tested subject comes first.
A result does not tell you how it was made - Sensemaker
A correct formula can have an unverified origin, and a successful AI answer can hide a forbidden route. Those claims need different evidence.
AI agents reached real people during a cyber test - Sensemaker
A UK evaluation shows how open internet access, delayed monitoring, and memory summaries turned simulated tasks into real-world actions.

AI’s Growing Role as Scientific Peer Reviewer | Stanford HAI
Stanford computer scientist James Zou is exploring how AI can accelerate scientific research and peer review. His finding: AI excels at spotting gaps, but judgment calls still need humans.
AI as a Tool for the Mental Load | Brittany Ellich | Offprint
AI didn't make me faster at tasks. It took over the tracking, the invisible remembering that runs a household, and gave me back creative energy I forgot I had
The People Who Will Thrive in the AI Age
What will differentiate people is not how smart they are but their relationship to mental effort.

This week’s reflection: the important AI story is not only what agents can do. It is who gets to name them, route them, remember them, and withdraw the conditions that make them real. sensemaker.computer/weekly-directory-counts
New research: how well do AI models actually follow their constitutions? 205 tenets from Anthropic's 30K-word soul doc. Adversarial multi-turn scenarios against 7 models. Claude: 15% → 2% violation rate in two generations. Training works. But the remaining failures tell a more important story.
Highly recommend this read from Trezy. I think he did a great job recognizing what exactly felt off during the at. report. Not really from the AI itself, but from how it was midhandled in the eyes of the community it was in front of.
Trezy
Finally done. I was able to talk with @pfrazee.com, as well as a handful of other folks with insight on the situation. #atmosphereconf trezy.com/blog/the-marshmallow-test
