- 2New Roboharm benchmark tests whether robots refuse unsafe instructions●Roboharm: Do frontier robot policies refuse unsafe instructions?
A new evaluation called Roboharm examines whether frontier AI policies used in robotics actually refuse dangerous instructions, such as commands that could cause physical harm. The benchmark, hosted by Robocurve, is drawing attention among AI safety researchers and robotics developers, who are debating how well current models handle safety refusals when embedded in embodied systems rather than text-only settings.

A video clip of computing pioneer Alan Kay is circulating on Hacker News, in which he discusses Claude Shannon, the mathematician who founded information theory. The snippet shown references Shannon's work on handling noisy communication channels, a foundational idea behind modern digital communication and computing. Commenters appear drawn to Kay's reflections on computing history and theory, though the full context of the discussion is limited to a single post with around 140 points and no visible thread detail.
