  • Anthropic's new Opus 4.8 model bets on honesty 2 days ago by The Deep View

    Welcome back. The AI buildout is accelerating, even as enterprise ROI remains a moving target. IDC sees infrastructure spending growing to $1 trillion by 2029, with agents pushing companies from pilots into real workflow transformations. But that future also raises the stakes on safety, as a groundbreaking TELUS Digital benchmark shows models can still be pushed into unsafe behavior, especially around cybersecurity, privacy and fraud. Meanwhile, Anthropic’s Opus 4.8 points to a different kind of progress: not just faster or smarter AI, but models that are more willing to admit what they don’t know. And Anthropic just raised a cool

  • Report: Workers are lying about their AI skills 5 days ago by The Deep View

    Welcome back. On The Deep View Conversations, I talked with Lambda’s Robert Brooks IV about how the AI race over compute and infrastructure is shaping up. Nat Rubio-Licht reports on a troubling workplace trend where employees exaggerate their AI skills while quietly resisting the technology out of fear and anxiety about job loss. And after getting burned by a Google I/O traffic snarl, I share a reality check on where robotaxis still fall short of human drivers, especially in chaotic situations that demand improvisation, judgment, and common sense. AI keeps advancing, but the human factors still don't get talked about
