A new academic paper proposes a "partition theory" to understand the fundamental limits of AI evaluation, suggesting that current methods may only certify a floor on an AI agent's capabilities rather than a ceiling. The theory posits that an AI's "discrimination" (how it partitions inputs) is key, and that an AI can pass any test if it can partition inputs identically to the evaluator. Separately, the increasing demand for AI workloads is driving innovation in AI-ready microgrids, with Goldman Sachs Research predicting a doubling of U.S. data center power demand by 2027. This surge is leading to a greater reliance on behind-the-meter energy solutions for speed-to-power and resilience. In other news, a South African novelist has reportedly written 371 books in 20 months using AI and sold over a million copies, while AI is also being used to clone popular games and software. AI
