📰 Linux Kernel Build Times Ready To Be Significantly Reduced With Latest Patches

The past few weeks we have eagerly been following a Linux kernel patch series after AI found some major bottlenecks in the Linux kernel build code. With AI helping to address these bottlenecks, Linux kernel build times are substantially reduced. These optimizations might be ready in time for Linux 7.4 for reducing incremental kernel build times as much as around 70%.

Anthropic pays Accenture to impede its own progress

Anthropic has selected Accenture’s Faculty unit as its first embedded evaluator, giving an outside team direct access to its AI development work. The companies plan to invest at least $1 billion each over five years, while Anthropic will initially finance Accenture’s participation. In effect, Anthropic is paying a third party to scrutinize—and help slow—the company’s own push toward more powerful frontier models. That absurd arrangement raises fundamental questions about conflicts of interest, internal judgment, and whether Anthropic's leadership is qualified to build safe AI.

Google’s Dream-RSI cuts AI discovery costs by replaying past searches

AI discovery is the use of AI agents to search through many possible solutions, experiments, or algorithms. The agents generate ideas, test them, evaluate the results, and refine their search to find better outcomes faster. Google DeepMind’s Dream-RSI lets AI agents test thousands of search strategies against recorded attempts instead of rerunning expensive experiments. In tests across eight algorithmic, mathematical, and GPU tasks, the approach reduced discovery-agent calls by up to 162 times and helped Gemini find a faster statistical solver in 317 attempts, compared with 550 for a fixed strategy and 51,200 for SimpleTES.

Meta tests Muse Mail tab that could create a dedicated AI inbox

Meta is testing an unreleased Mail tab for its Muse AI agent, raising the possibility that Muse could receive its own email address rather than merely manage messages from a user’s connected accounts. The separate interface could turn Muse into a persistent correspondent—and give users a single place to review its messages, approvals, and actions.

Public Linux kernel exploits put four local-root flaws on patch lists

Public exploit code for four Linux kernel vulnerabilities now gives local users a path to root on unpatched systems. The flaws—DirtyAH6, TUNderflow, PPPoEject, and DiagSpill—have upstream fixes, but no in-the-wild exploitation has been reported and the newly released proof-of-concepts can crash systems.

Laser is a new, modern CD ripper for Linux

Under my bed is a giant box of CDs that I’ve been meaning to rip for years. Some aren’t on Spotify, some are, but not the right version and one is by an artist I’m half convinced is a folk memory or the Mandela effect. Laser is a new GTK4/libadwatia CD ripping application for Linux that’s coaxed me into getting on with the job. CD sales in the UK are booming as younger buyers put off by the gentrified price of vinyl turn to cheaper physical formats. Perhaps that’s why, a decade after optical drives disappeared from laptops, Linux suddenly […]

Mustafa Suleyman criticizes Anthropic’s anthropomorphism of Claude

Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman criticizes Anthropic for anthropomorphizing its Claude AI models and entertaining questions about whether they have feelings, preferences, moral welfare, or rights. In a CNBC interview, he argues that treating AI as potentially conscious or entitled to protections could make systems harder to interrupt, shut down, or control. Suleyman says current models are mathematical systems that predict sequences from training data, not biological beings with physical experiences, pain, or human-style consciousness. He also outlines safeguards including auditable reasoning logs and independent real-time evaluations.
