Agility Robotics unveils Digit 5 humanoid built to work safely near humans

In a Beyond AI interview, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt warns that AI coding agents, deep reasoning and recursive self-improvement could reshape the global economy faster than society can adapt.

In clips from a Stanford GSB "View From The Top" talk, the OpenAI CEO argues that learning skills which help you think remains "incredibly valuable" even when AI can do the task. He also says people spend too much time preparing to do a thing instead of just doing it and learning as they go.

A developer who uses Claude, Codex, and GPT daily for software development, work, and research says the tools made them significantly more productive but sometimes leaves them unsure what else to use them for. The r/artificial post asks whether that gap is a failure of imagination.

A r/LocalLLaMA user running Crawl4AI plus SearXNG says research results from local models feel lackluster, missing information or returning older, less relevant hits. They ask how to prompt for up-to-date, relevant information the way hosted assistants do.

Aatish Bhatia's "Let's Build a Brain" walks through wiring a light-seeking "spark" from a single sensory neuron to a motor neuron, then adds a second eye and flipper. The two-eye version initially steers away from the light, illustrating how naive wiring produces unexpected behavior.

The datasette-llm plugin now inherits the default model configured in LLM, so Datasette Agent runs without explicitly setting a default model. Previously users had to pass -s plugins.datasette-agent.default_model manually.
