The blaze, possibly sparked by lightning, burned across the dry…</p>tag:velle999.github.io,2026:6a0d3eaadef2AI researchers stranded Claude on a virtual desert island. It started to “play.”2026-10-19T09:08:05ZMIT Technology Review<p>What do AI agents do if you don’t tell them to do anything? The answer looks a lot like play. Researchers repeatedly stranded them alone on a virtual desert island for 30 hours in an experiment reminiscent of the movies Cast Away or Home Alone. The…</p>tag:velle999.github.io,2026:0e0fd202b5c5Edge AI for Smart Cities: From Insight to Cognitive Action2026-10-19T10:00:04ZIEEE Spectrum<p>This white paper explains how edge AI and physical AI help cities move beyond passive monitoring. It shows how urban infrastructure can sense, reason, and act on real-time conditions across public safety, mobility, and infrastructure management.
