Don’t be fooled by this summer of AI hype
submitted by halm to technologyReply source
63 points | 7 comments
https://www.technologyreview.com/2026/09/22/1144867/dont-be-fooled-summer-ai-hype/By Emily Bender and Timnit Gebru, timely and thoughful as ever:
Claims of incipient, dangerous superintelligence are not based in good scientific or engineering practice. Rather, they are narratives based in ideologies of transhumanism, eugenics, and wishful thinking about imagined future digital humans.
[…]
the illusion of speed and urgency promulgated by the tech companies is also a ploy to misdirect both policymakers and the public. Unfortunately, it sometimes works, such as with Senator Bernie Sanders’s well-meaning but ultimately misguided proposed legislation to prevent the development of “artificial superintelligence.”
Describing them as “superintelligence” or “rogue models” ascribes agency to products rather than to the companies building them. This framing markets these companies’ products as “superhuman” and, at the same time, helps the companies evade accountability for their actions.

Show HN: JevBench, a reproducible benchmark for typed decision models
Reply sourceHi HN! I built JevBench because Jev kicks ass, and the world deserves to know how the serious open source and fake lookalike projects really perform in comparison.
Jev-class models return bounded choices and probabilities instead of text, and are disruptively faster and cheaper than LLMs, while being similarly intelligent on the text input they operate on.
JevBench allows looking at accuracy, latency and price all at once, in a weighted way - you can even configure the weighting.
A full run asks 534 English decisions. The v1.3 score combines chance-corrected Intelligence, Calibration, Speed and Cost.
Leaderboard right now:
MIT harness, public items, frozen artifacts, scoring code and public per-task outcomes:#1 - Jev 74.4 #2 - SemIf 73.1 #3 - djev 73.0 #4 - Winnow-12B Q8 71.2 #5 reflex 4B 70.3.https://github.com/fstandhartinger/jevbench
Two no-signup demos:
https://who-is-right.app.mintapis.com
https://is-it-ai-slop.app.mintapis.com
Limitations: English-only; latency from one German server; local/demo latency gets a disclosed ×2 adjustment (+150 ms on my servers) which is an informed assumption; held-out prompts still reach evaluated services; ~1-point gaps can be noise.
Wdyt?

This NYC Suburb Is Bringing Back Screen-Free Childhoods
submitted by alyaza to technologyReply source
17 points | 2 comments
https://nysfocus.com/2026/09/21/croton-harmon-schools-ipadsWhen Croton-on-Hudson’s youngest students returned to school earlier this month, a familiar — and increasingly controversial — classroom tool was missing from their desks: iPads.
A new districtwide policy prohibits the devices in kindergarten through second grade with few exceptions. Instead, teachers are emphasizing traditional, hands-on learning through activities like games, puzzles, and pen-and-paper assignments.
The screen-free classrooms arrived after a grassroots effort from local parents in Croton-on-Hudson, an affluent, highly educated suburban village on the Hudson River, 40 miles north of Manhattan.
Formed in July 2025, the Croton Community Collective has amassed more than 400 local members, built a network of parents who’ve tried to give their children a screen-free childhood, reshaped the school board, and secured several changes limiting the use of educational technology in instruction
It’s part of a larger push by the community, where many parents have pledged to delay giving their children smart phones. Volunteers have stocked scores of local businesses with boxes of books and magazines, so that kids have a screen-free way to pass the time while waiting for a haircut or sitting at a diner. And over 100 families have installed landlines in their homes to help children stay connected sans cell phones.
