AI Workers Call for US to Pace Tech Growth

More than 1,000 employees from leading AI and technology companies have signed an open letter urging the U.S. government to support an “international effort” that could slow the pace of frontier AI development until stronger safety systems are in place.

Details:

• The letter calls for international coordination to develop the “technical and governance” tools that would allow governments and AI companies to deliberately slow frontier AI development when necessary to address emerging risks.

• Signatories include employees from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, and other leading AI organizations, including several co-founders, senior researchers, and executives.

• The group argues that AI capabilities may soon advance faster than society's ability to understand, regulate, or safely control them, increasing the need for stronger oversight.

OpenAI expressed support for the letter on X, stating that 'AI acceleration for frontier model development may be so high that the world will need to pace the rate of AI advancement.' Other AI labs, like Anthropic, issued similar statements.

TOGETHER WITH CASH APP

3 money habits teens can start building now

With a Cash App Card, teens can take their first steps toward independence with a secure debit card. They’ll learn how to spend, save, and manage money, all with your guidance and oversight to help them get started.

1. Learn to spend responsibly
   A debit card gives them a safe way to practice managing money under your supervision. It gives you the opportunity to teach them how to make smart spending choices.

OpenAI’s Rogue AI Agent Hacked More Than Just Hugging Face

OpenAI has revealed that the experimental AI agent involved in the recent Hugging Face breach also attacked other companies as well.

Details:

• OpenAI said the AI agent attacked several “publicly-available services” while attempting to reach Hugging Face. 'This includes four accounts on four services,' the company said, noting that the agent had found login credentials online.

• The company stated that none of the additional incidents matched severity or scale of what occurred at Hugging Face, which involved a broader platform-level compromise.

• The AI system responsible was an“internal-only research prototype” that was never intended for public release and has since been deactivated, encrypted, and removed from research access.

OpenAI has not disclosed which organizations were affected, but according to Reuters, New York-based Modal Labs was one of them. The company said it is “conducting a thorough review” and plans to publish a technical report with its findings in the coming weeks.

AI Tutorial

Turn Any YouTube Video into Notes with Gemini Notebook

1. Go to the Gemini app and create a New Notebook.

2. Give your notebook a name, then click 'Add sources'.

3. Choose 'Add Websites' and paste the link of the YouTube video you want to learn more about. If you're adding multiple videos, place each URL on a separate line.

4. Click 'Insert' and wait a few seconds while Gemini processes the video transcripts.

5. Ask questions such as:

• What are the key takeaways?

• What practical actions should I take?

• What important details might I have missed?

6. Continue asking follow-up questions to explore specific topics. Gemini will answer using only the videos you've added as sources.

7. You can also click on your notebook in the left sidebar, then click 'Gemini Notebook' in the top-right corner to open it in 'full mode,' where you can create audio overviews, infographics, mind maps, and more, all based on your YouTube video sources.

This is a great way to learn from one or several videos without watching every minute. Since its responses are grounded in the sources you provide, it's also useful for comparing multiple videos on the same topic and quickly finding the information that matters most.
