Gyms for Them, Mirrors for Us

Personal AI doesn’t have to run your life to change it. It just must see you clearly and feed your behavior back to you in a way you can’t dodge. This article argues for reframing AI as feedback loops, emphasizing read-only observation, cognitive exhaust, and the importance of building training environments for safety and effectiveness.

Mass NPM Supply Chain Attack Hits TanStack, Mistral AI, and 170 Packages

On May 12, 2026, SafeDep disclosed a supply chain attack targeting npm and PyPI ecosystems, affecting over 170 packages including TanStack and Mistral AI. Attackers tampered with build scripts, added malicious downloaders, and used the Session protocol to exfiltrate credentials. The payload also includes IDE and AI agent poisoning mechanisms that self-replicate and commit malicious configuration files to victim repositories, creating a persistent infection loop.

AI's Biggest Investor: Jensen Huang Spends $2 Billion a Day

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has become the largest investor in AI, pouring tens of billions into startups and infrastructure. In the past year, Nvidia invested $17.5 billion in private companies, and already $40 billion in the first months of this year, with investments spanning model labs, cloud computing, and hardware manufacturing. The strategy locks in customers for Nvidia's GPUs and fuels the token economy, but concerns about circular trading and bubble risks persist.

Microsoft researchers find AI models and agents can't handle long-running tasks

Microsoft researchers have found that even the priciest frontier models introduce errors in long workflows, with an average of 25% document content loss over 20 interactions. Their DELEGATE-52 benchmark across 52 domains showed only Python programming met the 98% readiness threshold. Agentic tools often made performance worse.

Half of AI health answers are wrong even though they sound convincing – new study

A new study published in BMJ Open finds that five popular AI chatbots provide problematic health information in about half of responses, with only two out of 250 questions refused. Grok performed worst, and open-ended questions were especially risky. The study underscores the need for verification and not treating chatbots as medical authorities.
