Been scrolling through r/ArtificialInteligence and r/MachineLearning and there's a lot of chatter right now. Two big things taking up space:
OpenAI's Code Red: Sam Altman apparently declared an internal "code red" because Google's Gemini is catching up fast on benchmarks. OpenAI is shifting focus to quality improvements and delaying other projects. Reddit's kind of split on this—some think it's overdue, others think it's panicked.
Amazon's New AI Agents: AWS just showed off 3 new frontier AI agents, including one called "Kiro" that can autonomously code for days without breaking a sweat. The community's impressed but also concerned about what autonomous agents running 24/7 means long-term.
Also seeing a lot of talk about NeurIPS 2025 tools and people disappointed that OpenAI's December "treating adults like adults" update hasn't dropped yet.
Reddit discourse always has a different energy than structured news sources. Worth checking out the threads for the takes.
