Google AI CEO has a message for laid off engineers at Meta, Amazon, Block, and other companies
Demis Hassabis thinks the companies cutting engineers to ride the AI wave have got it backwards. The Google DeepMind CEO told WIRED that when developers become three or four times more productive, the smart move is to do three or four times more work, not march people out the door. To him, treating AI gains as a reason to shrink headcount is a failure of nerve dressed up as strategy.

Microsoft’s AI chief says superintelligence is near, but won’t take your job
Today I’m talking with Mustafa Suleyman, the CEO of Microsoft AI. And I’m actually going to keep today’s intro short — I’m working from my wife’s family farm this week, as you’ll see in the video, but also this is a real burner of an episode.

AI heavyweights warn their tech could help terrorists develop bioweapons

The open letter, published this week, calls on lawmakers to make screening of orders for synthetic nucleic acids and the equipment used to produce them mandatory. It also backs recordkeeping for synthesis...

Anthropic CEO, who warns of AI-led mass layoffs, calls them a necessity
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has spent the better part of 2026 telling anyone with a microphone that AI is about to wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs. Now, at the World Economic Forum in Davos, the man whose company is selling that very AI is no longer just warning about the layoffs. He's calling the policy response to them a necessity that will eventually steamroll partisan politics in the United States.
Jeff Bezos Is Funding a Wild Hunt for the Brain’s ‘Core Algorithm’
Rob Williams knows how to pitch Jeff Bezos: You write a press release as if your product has already been built. Bezos reads it and gives a thumbs up or down. Williams went through this process a lot as an executive on Amazon’s “S-team,” in charge of software products such as Alexa, until his departure last fall.

Philosophy has long suffered an unfortunate reputation as pedantic and abstruse. In one of the most prominent debates of the 20th century, philosophers spent a great deal of energy arguing over what the means. Paul Graham, the legendary tech investor, studied philosophy as a college student, which seemed “an impressively impractical thing to do,” as he later wrote.
