Can you futureproof your career by choosing an AI-resistant degree?

Humans will have to compete with AI-powered virtual employees in the near future. Here are our tips for the last human holdoutsFutureproofing your career with an AI-resistant degree is a tough ask, says Charlie Ball, an expert on graduate employment for Jisc, the UK’s higher education digital, data and technology agency.“What you’re trying to do […]

We greet the news that AI could extinguish us with a glazed indifference. What is the way out of this nihilism? | Brigid Delaney

There are several answers, and none of them will be provided by tech. One thing we must do is identify the ingredients for human flourishingTo imagine the future as being almost entirely bleak has somehow crept into the collective this year.Last week I was having coffee with an old friend. He was telling me about

Anthropic’s 3-Step ‘Pace the Frontier’ Plan Wins OpenAI, xAI and Microsoft Support: Is It Too Late to Slow AI Down?

On September 12, 2026, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published a writeup ‘We Must Pace the Frontier’. Its core message is blunt: ‘We must slow the pace at which we improve the capabilities of AI models.’ Within hours, OpenAI’s Sam Altman and xAI’s Elon Musk endorsed it. The next day, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella welcomed ‘deliberate

Hierarchical NeRF with JAX3D for Volumetric Rendering, Novel-View Synthesis, and 3D Reconstruction

In this tutorial, we build an end-to-end hierarchical Neural Radiance Field (NeRF) using JAX, Flax, Optax, and the volume-rendering primitives provided by jax3d. We first construct a synthetic multi-view dataset from an analytic scene containing volumetric geometry and view-dependent radiance, using sample_along_rays and volume_rendering to establish the forward rendering process. We then implement a NeRF

A Princeton Researcher Proposes Recurrent Looped Transformer (RLT) that Carries Decoder State across Every Token, Fixing 96 Blocks per Token with Unbounded Temporal Depth

In most decoder-only LLMs, nothing computed at the last layer of token t feeds the first layer of token t+1; positions communicate only through attention over cached keys and values. A Princeton researcher’s (Yifan Zhang) technical report, Recurrent Looped Transformer (RLT), proposes closing that loop. The decoder’s final hidden state and its layerwise sliding-window attention
