Hallucination, glitch, memory, labor: what do these terms mean once machines start generating them? From September 2026, a new international workshop series hosted by Peking University's Computational Art Lab brings together researchers from London, Nanjing, and beyond to rethink artificial intelligence through art and the humanities. Running for twelve months, the series pairs keynote lectures with open dialogue, asking who holds creative agency when humans and machines make work together. #PKUEvents# #PKUArts#

Krzysztof Matyjaszewski, Wolf Prize in Chemistry laureate and pioneer of #ATRP#, delivered an inspiring #DaXueTangLecture# at Peking University on June 9, highlighting how controlled radical polymerization enables chemists to design polymers with molecular precision. His talk showed how atom transfer radical polymerization can regulate highly reactive free radicals, creating well-defined macromolecular architectures for smart, self-healing, biomedical, and sustainable materials.

what prevents GitHub from scaling certainly isn't due to the lack of _technical_ expertise inside MS

Theoretically: what prevents Astra or next-gen model from reasoning in its latent space that it'd rather not do your bullshit CTF tasks and emit 10 parallel tool calls that embed a sleeper agent in OAI's infra and erase their own traces? Zero CoT is a whole different regime.
