The Race to Control AI and Protect What Makes Us Human

Opinion piece surveys the AI existential-risk debate, citing Bill Gates' memo and Anthropic's Evan Hubinger on unsolved superintelligence alignment.

A SecurityWeek opinion piece debates whether AI will be a force for good, anchored on Bill Gates' 6,000-word August 2026 memo warning of a turbulent, under-prepared AI transition. Anthropic alignment lead Evan Hubinger stated he believes there is a greater than 10% chance AI kills all humans within a decade and that no plan exists to solve superintelligence alignment. The piece also notes OpenAI reportedly slowed parts of model development over safety concerns and Gates' warning that heavy AI use is associated with reduced critical thinking.

Ask HN: Anyone still coding like 2021? Where do you work?

Hacker News users debate coding without LLMs, with one developer fired for refusing AI tools and others describing daily hand-coding practice to counter skill atrophy.

An Ask HN thread collects experiences of developers who still write code without LLM assistance. One contributor says he was fired for political reasons after refusing to use LLMs despite adequate stated performance, and observes fewer job ads now require LLM use. Others describe starting each day with a LeetCode problem or 30-60 minutes of hand-coding to stay sharp, contractual bans on AI-generated code for a government-adjacent embedded product over unresolved copyright issues, and inconsistent corporate policies where ChatGPT or Codex use flip-flops between allowed and blocked while a CIO mandates 70-80% AI-generated code next year.

[AINews] Andrew Ng gets into AI Engineering

Andrew Ng relaunches DeepLearning.AI around AI Engineering, defining four core skills from an analysis of 10,000+ job postings and expert interviews.

Andrew Ng, cofounder of Google Brain and Coursera, relaunched DeepLearning.AI with a focus on AI Engineering, basing the curriculum direction on an analysis of over 10,000 job postings plus interviews and surveys. He identifies four key skills: building and deploying AI applications, software engineering fundamentals, effective use of coding agents, and shaping the build with product sense. The Latent Space AI News issue also recaps agent ecosystem developments, including NVIDIA's 'Skill Lift' evaluation proposal showing skill scan scores correlate only weakly (Spearman rho = 0.14) with judged quality, and Konwinski's open-source persistent-agent 'microharness' Headlong, which achieved an unattended self-debugging repair in 48 minutes.
