The big AI labs’ safety push could come with a competitive advantage
Some investors, analysts, and industry watchers believe the big AI labs, especially Anthropic, are taking advantage of the current AI safety scare by inviting regulations that only the largest labs can easily comply with. The AI safety concerns are real, but the financial burden of complying with the proposed regulatory solutions would conveniently entrench the big labs, the thinking goes, while putting smaller labs and open-model developers at a serious disadvantage.

It started building cars with back seats in the 1960s with the 250 GT 2+2; as the name suggests, the second row was more for occasional use, something that was true all the way through to the 612 in the early 2000s. Ferrari followed with its first true four-seater, the all-wheel drive FF, which adopted "Breadvan" styling.

T. rex teeth indicate it ran as warm as an elephant
For most of the last century, T. rex was pictured as a sluggish, tail-dragging reptile that had to warm up in the sun before it could go anywhere. Then, further research changed that view, replacing it with the active, bird-like animal shown in the movie Jurassic Park. But whether T. rex used warm blood to power that activity remained a question. Now we might have gotten closer to an answer. A team of researchers led by Randon J. Flores and Robert A. Eagle, geochemists at the University of California, Los Angeles, has measured the T. rex body temperature by analyzing its teeth.

The artificial intelligence agent cited a number, then complicated that reply, noting that quality and balance of time could matter more than the number of hours, and that “too much” time could depend on a teenager’s sleep, exercise, school demands, and mood. I tried another search: Shoul
