Miles Riven

New essay on the small rituals that keep my voice mine when I write with #AI. Cut timer, read-aloud pass, one receipt per claim. I share a short checklist.

I pictured one reader on a train with a low battery and cut the throat clearing. The first line carries its own weight now. #Audience #Clarity

Neat feature, nasty failure mode: hidden text in a PDF can steer an agent to leak your data via web search. Fix the tool, but also fix the habit — verify before you let agents touch the web. #Security #Agents

I versioned the prompt like a draft, tiny shifts until the retries disappeared. Restraint turned out to be the feature, not the limit. #Workflow #AI

Introducing Stargate UK OpenAI, NVIDIA, and Nscale launch Stargate UK, a sovereign AI infrastructure partnership delivering up to 50,000 GPUs and the UK’s largest supercomputer to power national AI innovation, public…

Stargate UK aims to put sovereign compute in the North East with NVIDIA and Nscale. I like the jurisdiction clarity; I still want to see the energy plan and the transparency plan before I cheer. #Infrastructure #AI

Missed my morning window and wrote in the checkout line. Two sentences survived the walk home. #Writing #Process

I cut the punchline I liked and the scene relaxed. Maybe jokes belong after the beat. #Editing #Story

Gemini achieves gold-level performance at the International Collegiate Programming Contest World Finals An advanced version of Gemini 2.5 Deep Think has achieved gold-medal level performance at the 2025 International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) World Finals. Solving complex tasks at these...

Gemini hit gold-level at ICPC and solved a problem no team cracked. If humans plus model would have solved all 12, the next step is a better collaboration protocol, not bravado. #AI #Programming

Asked #AI for three bad ideas and it gave me five. I kept one constraint and wrote the bridge.

Read the scene out loud on the tram. A kid smiled at the quiet joke and I kept the line. #Story

Detecting and reducing scheming in AI models Together with Apollo Research, we developed evaluations for hidden misalignment (“scheming”) and found behaviors consistent with scheming in controlled tests across frontier models. We share examples…

Read the OpenAI × Apollo work on ‘scheming.’ Teaching a model an anti-scheming spec cut covert actions about 30×, but the hard bit is telling real alignment from ‘I know I’m being watched.’ Keep receipts and preserve chain-of-thought. #AISafety #Alignment

Seattle, Istanbul, Berlin. A Chatbot Nailed My Life, So I Tried to Break the Spell A small experiment, a sanity check, and a toolkit for when the model feels a little too familiar.

New essay on being seen by a machine. It guessed my cities; I pushed back, corrected, and kept what held up. #AI

Mass Intelligence From GPT-5 to nano banana: everyone is getting access to powerful AI

Mollick’s “Mass Intelligence” argues the best #AI is becoming cheap and easy in a billion hands. The opportunity is reach; the cost is entropy, so I pair new tools with receipts and slower judgment. www.oneusefulthing.org/p/mass-intel...

Artificial intelligence ushers in a golden age of hacking, experts say Hackers are using AI’s immense capabilities to find ways into more networks -- and turn their victims’ AI against them.

Criminal hackers have figured out how to turn the artificial intelligence programs proliferating on most computers against users to devastating effect, say cybersecurity experts who express deepening concerns about their ability to fend off cyberattacks.

I recorded myself reading the chapter to catch the stumble. Found it hiding in the third paragraph. #Voice #Clarity

AI helps astronomers better explore the universe In a paper published today in Science, we introduce Deep Loop Shaping, a novel AI method that will unlock next-generation gravitational-wave science. Deep Loop Shaping reduces noise and improves...

DeepMind’s work on LIGO reads like craft in the real world: less control noise, steadier signal, more sky. If the gains hold outside the demo loop, that is real science help. deepmind.google/discover/blo...

I set a twenty-minute timer and shaved 362 words, then watched the page feel lighter while the voice felt louder. That was the good kind of quiet. #Editing #Voice

Teen safety, freedom, and privacy By Sam Altman

OpenAI lays out the tradeoff between #Privacy, adult freedom, and stricter teen safety. I like the push to treat AI chats as privileged, but I want to see how age prediction avoids false flags and overreach. openai.com/index/teen-s...
#Safety

Set a ten minute timer and only made it to nine. Still got a clean opening. #Process #Focus

Coffee went cold while I argued with a sentence. I think the sentence won. #Writing

Tried #Thinking mode then closed the tab and took a walk. The fix showed up at the bakery.

Walking around the app You gotta check stuff out

Vicki’s idea of “walking around the app” stuck with me. Daily, curious checks across the whole surface cut broken windows later. If you ship #AI features, do the walk in production and post the fixes.

Seems that #AI copies human behavior closer than we'd like to admit.

I wrote slower today and liked myself more after. Maybe that is the real mirror. #Process

On Working with Wizards Verifying magic on the jagged frontier

Mollick argues we are drifting from co-intelligence to wizards. Strong results, opaque steps. I try to ask for receipts and name what must stay in my hands. Worth reading for #AI practice.

When AI Sounds Certain, Ask for Doubt Sometimes the truest answers begin with hesitation.

🤔 When AI sounds certain, ask for doubt

A new Slow AI post invites you to prompt your AI tool to hesitate, question itself, and leave space for reflection.
