reading through the actual plan now, and it is hard to overstate how incredible funny and insane it is to say "we are gonna threaten you with a fine of 3% of global revenue if you share your most powerful technology with us"

2.1. Assessing and mitigating risks posed by frontier AI
The AI Act sets out requirements for the cybersecurity of AI systems14 and requires providers
of the most advanced general-purpose AI models to assess and mitigate systemic risks,
including from misuse of AI in the cyber domain.15
As of 2 August 2026, the Commission will exercise the supervisory and enforcement powers
provided by the AI Act to ensure effective oversight of AI systems as well as of general-purpose
AI models, including models that present systemic risks related to cybersecurity.16 This
oversight includes assessing the providers’ identification of risks associated with model
capabilities and their implemented measures to mitigate those risks. These requirements
continue to be proportionate to the capabilities of the technology at hand.
The supervisory and enforcement powers will be supported by the Scientific Panel advising
the Commission’s AI Office, secure reporting channels, and the Code of Practice for
general-purpose AI.

Human intelligence is fundamentally a collective intelligence. We solve complex problems by participating in a vast cultural network that builds upon ideas across generations. I believe the strongest AI systems will become a collective intelligence, too.

'Tis the season to preprint BBS commentaries; I'm happy to share ours too! 🎄✨ The textual basis of current LLMs causes trouble, but linguistically relevant insights *can* be found in systems modelling the more natural form of human spoken language: the speech signal itself. arxiv.org/abs/2512.14506

Commentary title: 
Linguists should learn to love speech-based deep learning models 

Authors: 
Marianne de Heer Kloots, Paul Boersma, Willem Zuidema

Abstract: 
Futrell and Mahowald present a useful framework bridging technology-oriented deep learning systems and explanation-oriented linguistic theories. Unfortunately, the target article's focus on generative text-based LLMs fundamentally limits fruitful interactions with linguistics, as many interesting questions on human language fall outside what is captured by written text. We argue that audio-based deep learning models can and should play a crucial role.
