Worth reading this in full. I come in skeptical, but this basically is a claim that an AI system at Alibaba attempted autonomous replication without human intervention. This excerpt was found and highlighted by Alexander Long. Full paper here: arxiv.org/abs/2512.24873

Cleaning a childhood bedroom and I’m struck by how much optimistic messaging about technology and space technology in particular I was surrounded by as a kid in the 90’s. Are kids still immersed in this stuff? I hope so

If this group is dedicated to advocating for what it seems like they’re dedicated to advocating for, it’s pretty wild that they exist!

The reason most people react to an article after only reading the title is because the title, especially for breaking news, usually tells you most of what you need to know.

As a bsky power user, it's interesting to me that people covering this story presume the team was "surprised" by the content moderation needs of the app. Someone saying this self-evidently hasn't actually built stuff at scale before. The team was obviously surprised by user growth, not NSFW content.
