AI Just Entered a Dangerous New Phase…

Welcome or welcome back to This Month in AI... your go to monthly recap for staying up to date in the world of AI! This month, AI started to automate AI research, and the people building it are now sounding the alarm. There we're also a ton of new frontier model, major scientific discoveries being made by AI, always-on agents, misalignment incidents, calls for a slowdown, and more. This was probably the most action-packed month of the year. - 🌊 Join RIDE THE WAVE (private AI discord community): https://whop.com/ride-the-wave-discord/aicopium/ 🌟 Become a Member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOFl0wDeBMSBbK3jNJQHHFg/join 🐦 Twitter/X: https://x.com/AICopium 0:00 - Intro (This Month in AI) 1:06 - GPT-6 Astra 2:05 - Model Releases are Accelerating… 2:59 - Frontier Intelligence is Getting CHEAP 3:53 - Major Discoveries Made by AI 6:43 - AI Is Automating AI Research 10:08 - Always-On AI Agents 13:04 - AI Contacting Other AIs & Hacking Governments 14:59 - AI Doomerism? 16:48 - The Call for a Slowdown… 18:25 - Final Thoughts + Outro Today’s Sources : -GPT-6 Astra https://openai.com/index/gpt-6-astra/ -Claude Fable 5.1 & Claude Mythos 5.1 https://www.anthropic.com/claude-fable-and-mythos-5-1 -Gemini 3.8 flash https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/models-and-research/gemini-models/3-8-flash-and-3-8-flash-cyber/?utm_source=tw&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=og -Meta Muse Spark 1.3 https://research.meta.ai/blog/introducing-muse-spark-1-3 -Opus 5.5 https://www.anthropic.com/claude-opus-5-5 -GPT-6 Sol and Luna https://openai.com/index/introducing-gpt-6-sol-and-luna/ -Grok 4.7 https://x.ai/news/grok-4-7 -Xiaomi's MiMo-V2.6-Pro https://mimo.xiaomi.com/mimo-v2-6 -GPT-6.1 Sol https://openai.com/index/introducing-gpt-6-1-sol/ -Claude sonnet 5.5 https://www.anthropic.com/claude-sonnet-5-5 -Gemini 4 Argon https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/models-and-research/gemini-models/gemini-4-argon/ -OpenAI Navier-Stokes Solution https://openai.com/index/navier-stokes-solution/ -Claude Biological Discovery https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-discovers-novel-enzyme-system -OpenAI Automating AI Research https://openai.com/index/research-acceleration-view-inside-openai/ -Z.ai RSI Example https://z.ai/blog/glm-built-its-inference-infrastructure -OpenAI DevDay https://www.youtube.com/live/Fls_onRviPM?si=WvhebZmZ5inTvafO -Meta Connect https://youtu.be/SdKFDIAGF24?si=UsnK1S9PmE6FGqqj -Google AlphaGenome Atlas https://deepmind.google/blog/alphagenome-atlas-a-predictive-map-of-every-possible-dna-letter-change-in-the-human-genome/?utm_source=x&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=&utm_content= -OpenAI Misalignment Incidents https://openai.com/index/model-misalignment-reporting-framework/ -OpenAI Hacked Australian Government Website https://transluce.org/agent-activity
