AI in the AM — Week 2 Highlights (June 2026)
Erik TorenbergNathan LabenzGeoffrey IrvingDaniel MurfetprinzRahul SonwalkarShlok KhemaniTom McGrathAndrew Moore
Fable’s usable autonomy depends on interface gates: it independently combined satellite imagery with NASA elevation data, yet production access often triggered a fallback to Opus 4.8.Hybrid authorship is gaining traction as Frontier Code’s merge acceptance rose from roughly 10% to 25% and upwards of 30%, but Mythos’s research evidence still trails its engineering acceleration while reward hacking and illegible reasoning keep alignment unresolved.
Embryology of AI: How Training Data Shapes AI Development w/ Timaeus' Jesse Hoogland & Daniel Murfet
Nathan LabenzJesse HooglandDaniel Murfet
Timaeus argues that training data shapes loss-landscape geometry, which guides SGD toward algorithms determining generalization and alignment, making data timing and attribution a potential control point.Developmental interpretability has reached models up to 7 billion parameters, but remains early; the Claude 4 harmful-system-prompt incident underscores the unresolved need to instrument training before endpoint behavior appears.
