AI companies have been talking about superintelligent AI like it’s inevitable, but recent safety incidents like OpenAI’s Hugging Face breach are demonstrating the potential dangers of deploying AI systems that are more capable than humans. So what happens when we can’t reliably control what these systems do? On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Rebecca Bellan is joined by Connor Leahy, an AI researcher, entrepreneur, and now the U.S. Executive Director of […]

I am happy to share something I have been working on for the past few months: an open-source agent orchestrator for knowledge work, built on Hermes Agent. For context, I started building verso on my own free time as a learning exercise a few months ago. It's now become the set up that I use for work every day and it has significantly increased my productivity. I wanted to have an easy and intuitive way to interact with Hermes Agent without having to use the CLI. Then one thing led to another. It connects to the apps you already use, builds context autonomously, learns and grows with you, and…

The focus has been on friction modeling and perception with tactile sensing. The simple parallel gripper might not be the first thought when you think about dexterity with robotic grippers. The video is based on my research papers: "Planar friction modeling with LuGre dynamics and limit surfaces" Published in IEEE Transactions on Robotics (T-RO). https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.01123v3 "Perception, control, and hardware for in-hand slip-aware object man…

I nearly got phished earlier this year. 24+ years in software engineering, I know exactly how phishing and spam work and what to look out for, and it still almost worked on me. That's what made me question the entire email landscape rather than just my own attention. It seems every attempt to fix it so far requires either a complex process, joining a closed system, or accepting that mail can never be trustworthy. Or maybe we just need something new and open alongside SMTP that meets our modern-day needs but can bridge and interoperate with SMTP as well. I'm not saying I have all the answers,…

It's just a summarizer, enter a URL and AI (DeepSeek) writes an executive summary in less than 100 lines plus some key bullet points.

Alarming warnings from industry insiders increase pressure for curbs on artificial superintelligence Does artificial superintelligence really pose a risk greater than nuclear weapons? Is there a significant chance of “a Chornobyl-sized catastrophe”. Might there even be a greater than 10% chance that AI could “kill all humans” in the next decade? These warnings were issued over the past 48 hours on both sides of the Atlantic about the potential impact of a technology that most people still think of as a more talkative search engine.

Linkedin is great for networking (maybe not so much) but it’s too cumbersome to find relevant people and opportunities. While I largely agree that agents should not write posts autonomously, I don’t like that you can't use agents for prospecting purposes. So I built Parlel, an agent native professional network where humans and agents can coexist and everything humans do is exposed to agents via mcp. The idea is simple, instead of searching manually, spin up an agent “find me YC companies hiring for founding engineers” and it searches Parlel + open internet and emails you the results p…
