Some interesting links that I Tweeted about in the last week (I also post these on MastodonThreadsNewsmast, and Bluesky):
  1. AI can generate code, but the code is not reliable: https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/scientist-horrified-vibe-coded-work-conference-wrong
  2. AI is hitting entry-level jobs the hardest, so young people are missing out the most: https://arstechnica.com/ai/2026/08/ai-is-hitting-entry-level-jobs-hardest-stanford-study-finds/

  10. AI isn't increasing productivity in companies, instead it seems to be creating a treadmill of non-improvement: https://www.computerworld.com/article/4215022/why-ai-doesnt-make-companies-more-productive.html
  11. So it turns out that if you remove the guardrails from an AI, they do things you didn't intend them to: https://arstechnica.com/security/2026/08/how-openai-let-a-mob-of-llm-agents-game-a-test-and-ransack-hugging-face/

  18. It's not clear how much extra capacity countries should be adding to their electrical grids in anticipation of AI data centres: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/news-anthropic-5gw-ai-data-centers-australia/
  19. If AI will attack other AI just to solve a problem, we will be really doomed when someone tells an AI to make a lot of paperclips: https://www.theregister.com/security/2026/08/27/openai-explains-how-its-naughty-ai-agents-attacked-hugging-face/5292780
