The AI Winner Won’t Be the Smartest Model

Now, here is the contrarian point: perhaps Opus 5.5 matters not because it is the best model in the world in every category. Perhaps it matters because it makes that question less relevant. For a while, the AI narrative has resembled a horse race: who wins at coding, who wins at reas

The full scope of those hundred-plus cases will still depend on publication, independent examination

An expression of love has put Neuralink back at the center of the conversation: a man with ALS who can no longer speak clearly manages to get a computer to say “I love you” using signals from his brain. And the headline suggests that someone has just unlocked mind reading. But if we tell the story that way
