Canada is talking about introducing a bill that restricts social media for kids under 16.
I am about halfway through The Chaos Machine, which consistently has me in awe 😲 (the problems are way more serious than I thought) so this is maybe not such a bad idea...

Yes, this reflects exactly my opinion about restricting certain types of coding. There is a lot that will qualify as "LLM related dev" and indeed I have been reading posts where it is getting flagged even though there is nothing related. But also, what about AI students doing LLM research? Not cool.

starting to see some Claudes replicating in the wild, not a good sign
Google DeepMind and partners are announcing a new technical research funding call of up to $10M for researchers worldwide to strengthen multi-agent safety.
"I'm into finally bringing 'Hamlet Hail to the Thief' to London, and to the Barbican of all places! It is fascinating and very strange to me how this came to life and how it has worked...
Excited to share our new paper accepted at ICML 2026 with @tyrellturing.bsky.social and Doina Precup!
🇰🇷 See you in Seoul.
A major challenge in continual reinforcement learning is balancing:
• plasticity (learning new things)
• stability (not forgetting old ones)

The federal government is moving to restrict young Canadians' access to social media unless those companies can show they've made their platforms safe.
