‘Godfather of AI’ warns Congress has ‘maybe a year’ left to regulate AI

Geoffrey Hinton, a Nobel laureate known as the “Godfather of AI,” issued an ominous warning to lawmakers: Congress may have only one year left to implement safeguards on artificial intelligence before it loses control of it.

“Maybe a year, but not much more than a year,” Hinton said Wednesday evening after he and other AI experts huddled with Senate and House lawmakers behind closed doors. “If you look at predictions for when we’ll get superintelligence,” he continued, “it used to be maybe 30 years, maybe 50 years. Then it came down to maybe 10 years, maybe 20 years. Now people are saying, a lot of the researchers are saying only a few years.” — Read More

How Did AI Became So Good At Video Generation

I remember a few years ago when I tried Deforum for the first time.

… Fast-forward three years, and we have models like MiniMax H3, Kling 3.0, Sora 2, Wan 2.2, etc. These models are not only able to produce well-defined and good-looking frames, but also maintain a high degree of temporal consistency.

In this post, I wanted to share with you the main technical advancements that allowed for such an unbelievable improvement in visual quality and temporal consistency. — Read More

Hacking OpenAI

On July 25, 2026, we chained two critical vulnerabilities to compromise multiple OpenAI employees’ ChatGPT accounts. With these accounts, we could then access internal OpenAI repositories, and potentially many other connectors.

… The entire timeline from initial discovery to access to OpenAI repo access took place in less than 72 hours. — Read More
