forklog.media Coinbase to Cut Workforce by 14% and Focus on AI Integration

The cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase will reduce its workforce by approximately 14%. The company's CEO, Brian Armstrong, explained the decision as a necessity to optimize expenses and more actively integrate artificial intelligence into work processes. This is an email I sent earlier today to all employees at Coinbase:Team,Today I’ve made the difficult decision to reduce the size of Coinbase by ~14%. I want to walk you through why we're doing this now, what it means for those affected, and how this positions us for the…— Brian Armstrong (@brian_armstrong) May 5, 2026 According to him, the company is adapting to market conditions. Even with sufficient capital, Coinbase aims to enhance operational efficiency ahead of the next industry growth phase. The second reason for the layoffs is the development of AI: technologies enable small teams to handle tasks that previously took weeks. As part of the restructuring, the exchange will change its operational model: limit the number of management layers to five; require managers to participate in work processes alongside executors; create AI divisions where one person can combine the roles of engineer and designer. Dismissed employees in the US will receive a minimum of 16 weeks' salary and six months of health insurance. Access to work systems was immediately revoked after the announcement to "protect customer data." Armstrong emphasized that the company's mission remains unchanged, and the changes will help Coinbase make decisions more quickly. Back in April, it was reported that Snap will replace 1,000 employees with neural networks to save $500 million.

forklog.media Peter Thiel Invests $140 Million in Ocean-Based Data Centers

The American startup Panthalassa, which is developing autonomous floating data centers powered by wave energy, has raised $140 million, valuing the company at approximately $1 billion. Today we're announcing @_panthalassa’s $140M Series B, led by Peter Thiel, with participation from John Doerr and many other incredible investors. The mission: unlock the ocean as another planetary-scale energy resource for humanity. First stop: compute. pic.twitter.com/uNO2hehyEf— Garth Sheldon-Coulson (@garthsc) May 4, 2026 The round was led by billionaire Peter Thiel through his personal fund. According to the Financial Times, the funding also included participation from Gigascale Capital, Lowercarbon Capital, Unless, and several notable tech investors, including Marc Benioff, Max Levchin, and John Doerr. According to Panthalassa CEO Garth Sheldon-Coulson, the funds will be used to complete a pilot manufacturing plant in the United States and prepare for the deployment of the first commercial Ocean-3 nodes in the Pacific Ocean. Ocean-Based Data Centers Panthalassa is building computing nodes for artificial intelligence. Each node is an 85-meter steel autonomous platform. The platforms are planned to be placed in the open ocean. Initially, they will be towed horizontally across the water. They will then flip to a vertical position and reach their deployment site without engines, using a specially designed hull that harnesses wave energy. Ocean-2 Node. Source: X. The company does not disclose exact coordinates: the locations are in remote areas of the Pacific Ocean, away from shipping routes. Electricity is generated by water movement through built-in turbines, powering AI servers directly on board. The computation results are transmitted to clients via SpaceX's Starlink satellite network. Locating in the ocean addresses the cooling issue: seawater is used to dissipate heat, extending the lifespan of the chips. Representatives of the startup claim to have already tested several prototypes—Ocean-1, Ocean-2, and Wavehopper—in real conditions. The commercial launch of the first full-fledged Ocean-3 is scheduled for 2027. Exotic Energy Sources for AI Investor interest in Panthalassa is driven by the rapidly growing shortage of computing power. Amid the AI boom, the market is already seeking unconventional power sources for data centers—from restarting nuclear reactors to space-based solar stations. Peter Thiel described the startup's idea as opening "a new oceanic frontier of computation." He stated that the demand for computing will be enormous, and finding new energy sources is no longer science fiction. The head of Panthalassa noted that the energy of the open ocean could become one of the few truly scalable clean sources, capable of providing tens of terawatts of power—alongside solar, wind, and nuclear energy. In March, the Australian startup Cortical Labs introduced a "data center" based on human brain cells.

forklog.media Anthropic co-founder forecasts ‘self-developing AI’ by 2028

By 2028, AI systems capable of designing and training their own successors without human involvement could reach the market, Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark said. "This is very important. I don't know how to process it. I come to this conclusion reluctantly, because the consequences are so great that I feel overwhelmed by them, and I'm not sure society is ready for the changes implied by automated AI development," he noted. Clark outlined a scenario of fully automated AI research—where a model independently: sets research goals; designs experiments; writes and tests code; optimises training; improves the architecture of the next version of the AI. He called this a "Rubicon into an almost unpredictable future" and put the probability of such a scenario at 60% over the next two years. What the estimate rests on Clark’s conclusion rests on the trajectory of several benchmarks: SWE-Bench — a test of solving real engineering tasks from a GitHub repository. At the end of 2023 the best models handled roughly 2% of cases; by spring 2026 the figure had reached 94%; CORE-Bench — reproducing the results of scientific AI papers with environment setup, code execution and analysis of conclusions. According to Clark, the benchmark is effectively "closed": modern agents score about 95.5%; MLE-Bench — performing ML tasks at Kaggle level. The best agentic systems already reach 64–65%. According to the Anthropic co-founder, all three metrics show one thing: AI is rapidly shifting from writing snippets of code to fully carrying out engineering and research tasks. Rising autonomy Another argument is the increasing duration of tasks that AI models can perform without human intervention. According to METR, in 2022 systems managed tasks that took humans tens of seconds. In 2024 the figure rose to about 40 minutes; in 2025, to six hours. Today, leading models can sustain engineering work for around 12 hours straight. Clark linked this to the spread of agentic programming tools. The longer a model holds a goal, checks intermediate results and fixes errors, the more stages of the research cycle can be delegated to it. Why this matters for AI development The current AI development loop follows a familiar pattern: study prior work, reproduce the result, set up an experiment, train or fine-tune a model, check metrics, find bottlenecks and repeat. Gains on SWE-Bench, CORE-Bench and MLE-Bench indicate that models already handle whole chunks of that loop. Clark also pointed to progress on more specialised tasks. For example, AI is beginning to be used to design GPU kernels—code that determines how efficiently models train and infer on specific hardware. Another strand is post-training models. In the PostTrainBench benchmark, AI systems improve small open-source LLMs. As of spring 2026, the best networks achieve 25–28% of the target gain (human teams, 51%). Clark deems the result significant: the target is set by real instruction-following models built by experienced researchers. Anthropic measured how its models optimise LLM training on the CPU. Over a year the speed-up rose from 2.9x (Claude Opus 4) to 52x (Claude Mythos Preview). Humans typically need four to eight hours for a comparable task. AI is already learning to manage AI Clark noted that modern systems are starting to coordinate the work of other agents. The approach is already used in products such as Claude Code or OpenCode: one assistant parcels out work among multiple sub-assistants, supervises them and aggregates results. For AI development this matters: it is rarely a single linear task — usually it is dozens of parallel processes, including writing code and configuring the environment. If a model starts managing such loops on its own, the degree of human involvement will drop sharply. Do neural networks need creativity In Clark’s view, one key question is what AI development most resembles: the discovery of general relativity or assembling Lego. He acknowledged that today’s LLMs are not yet able to generate fundamentally new scientific ideas. But that may not be necessary to automate a large share of AI R&D. "For the most part AI moves forward through people methodically running a certain cycle: take a well-performing system, scale some aspect of it, look at the errors when scaling and fix them. This requires very few out-of-the-box ideas, and most of this process looks like unglamorous rough engineering work," the expert noted. Early signs of scientific contribution Clark believes AI models are beginning to show early signs of scientific intuition. He cited several examples from mathematics and computer science: a team of mathematicians, using Gemini, checked around 700 Erdős problems and obtained 13 solutions, one of which researchers called a "slightly nontrivial" contribution to an open problem; scholars from the University of British Columbia, the University of New South Wales, Stanford and Google DeepMind published a mathematical proof found with substantial help from Gemini-based tools. What if the forecast is right Clark noted that the largest AI labs are already moving towards automating research. OpenAI intends to build an AI intern for independent scientific work, and Anthropic is publishing work on automatic alignment to human values. If the current pace holds, the industry will shift into a phase of fully automated AI development, he forecast — triggering a cycle in which each new generation of AI accelerates the arrival of the next. If the transition happens by the end of 2028, the world will face not only a technological leap, he said. Fundamental questions of safety, capital distribution, the role of human labour and control over systems that start developing faster than their creators will also come to the fore. "If you forced me to name a probability for 2027, I would say 30%. If we do not see this by the end of 2028, then I think we will have found some deficiency in the current technological paradigm, and human invention will be required to move forward," Clark concluded. In January, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei predicted the imminent arrival of AGI and job losses.
