So this new research is very much in that context.
It goes deeper into the weird mechanisms inside LLMs than ever before.

What Anthropic’s latest AI discovery does—and doesn’t—show
The company says it has found a new window into how its models arrive at answers. We spoke with senior editor Will Douglas Heaven about it. 

"AI is going to replace a lot of jobs."
Ok, what do you think is gonna happen when you stop paying the "don't riot" bill? How long can you go without paying that bill before an angry mob is gonna come to collect? You can tell from their vacant eyes that they never considered that.

If Multicast is the Answer -- What was the Question?
Multicast is (almost) as old as the Internet, having become a tool for increasing network efficiency but also enabling destination discovery in a number of key use cases, although misaligned economic interests have limited its deployment to domain-local usages.
