AI Makes the Cybersecurity Game Faster, Not New

AI tools continue to grow more advanced, which simultaneously increases the speed at which attackers can find and exploit cyber vulnerabilities, and defenders can both find and patch them. The longer it takes for defenders—including banks, hospitals, and utilities—to access to the most powerful cybersecurity tools, the longer they will be vulnerable to potential attackers working overtime to develop or obtain ever-more-capable AI systems—whether nation-states or rogue criminal actors.

Using AI When You Don’t Trust AI

You’ve heard the warnings! Don’t tell ChatGPT your secrets. The robots are reading everything. Your data is the product. And yet here you are: using them as a subscriber. Because AI is genuinely useful! The good news: that distrust is healthy, and you don’t have to choose between using AI and protecting yourself. You can do both.

The AI Productivity Trap Is More Output

AI makes it cheap to generate code and documents, but this leads to more review and verification work, actually slowing down delivery. Studies show that using AI tools can increase task time by 19% due to larger diffs and more artifacts. The problem is that output increases but throughput and outcomes remain flat. Organizations need to measure review time, rework rate, etc., rather than just token counts.

Intelligence per Watt: A Unified Metric for the AI Era

Proposes 'Intelligence Per Watt' (IPW) as a metric for AI system efficiency, analogous to performance-per-watt in computing. Local models answer 88.7% of single-turn queries, and hybrid inference can cut energy and costs by 60-80%. IPW also measures economic value and national competitiveness via 'Gross Domestic Intelligence' (GDI).

Build a Nanobot-Style AI Agent in Google Colab with Tool Calling, Session Memory, Skills, and MCP Servers

This tutorial guides you through building a lightweight personal AI agent in Google Colab, inspired by nanobot's core architecture. Starting from a provider abstraction, you'll add tool registration, session memory, lifecycle hooks, skills, and an MCP-style server. By recreating each building block yourself, you'll understand how messages, tools, memory, and model responses work together in a provider-agnostic agent loop.

I feed my coding agent JSON instead of screenshots

The author built SlimSnap, a tool that converts screen captures into structured JSON for feeding to AI coding agents. Compared to pasting screenshots, the JSON representation reduces token usage by 37-85% and allows the agent to directly reference elements without reinterpreting pixels each turn. The article details token savings, structural advantages, skill integration, and the importance of an open schema.

Racing a Wheeled Quadruped: Active Load Transfer Mitigation via Model Predictive Control

This paper presents a hierarchical control framework using model predictive control (MPC) and reinforcement learning (RL) for active roll control to manage lateral load transfer during autonomous racing of a wheeled quadruped. The framework integrates offline time-optimal raceline generation, an online MPC planner that actively minimizes the lateral Load Transfer Ratio (LTR), and a low-level, whole-body RL policy deployed directly onto the robot's 16 actuators. Physical experiments show that active roll control reduces mean LTR by up to 44%, improves fastest lap time by 8.7%, and boosts peak lateral acceleration by 21.3% to 1.98 m/s², maintaining robust high-speed stability.
