This is what emerges from the LARA (Legal Assessment for Real-world Agents) benchmark, published on May 27

First announced in December of 2024, construction on Meta’s new Hyperion data center is already well underway. With a price tag of $27 billion, the massive project has an expected computing capa

Getty / Futurism Food bloggers and recipe developers are warning home cooks to be wary of AI-generated recipes that could turn this year’s Thanksgiving dinner into a tragedy. As Bloomberg reports, they’ve watched in horror as AI slop has made searching for a reliable recipe on sites like Google, Facebook, and Pinterest a potential minefield. The publication spoke with 22 independent food creators, who said that “recipe slop” is damaging their businesses —

Getty / Futurism Will the slow anaconda crush of AI mean the end of journalism? It’s hard to imagine it completely eliminating the profession outright, unless the machines end up enslaving humanity à la the “Matrix” films. There will always be nosy gumshoes meddling in everyone’s affairs. But major media companies are in dire straits, and their executives aren’t sounding too cheerful about the future, which could hold in store the end of the traditional ne

Speaking at the World Economic Forum at Davos, Switzerland on Tuesday, Nadella pontificated about what would constitute such a speculative bubble, and said that the long-term success of

In an essay published on his Substack and flagged by Business Insider, Yang explained what he calls the “great disemboweling of white-collar jobs” due to

Getty / Futurism Investors have been rattled by the enormous amount of money AI companies are committing to spend on infrastructure buildouts. Amazon alone saw its share price drop precipitously earlier this month after announcing that it’s planning to spend $200 billion this year on AI. Microsoft’s shares also plummeted after stoking fears that a return on AI investment may be even further off than expected. In total, big tech companies are predicted to s

Even if Huang is pushed out as CEO, the board members he has made very rich are unlikely to cut him loose entirely. Barring another shoe dropping, they could keep him on as chairman, a role Nvidia doesn’t currently have. But someone still has to run the company, and there’s no apparent succession plan, which leaves us, like everyone else, to speculate while we wait to see what happens next. While Huang’s 60 direct reports undoubtedly get a closer look, con

Creating code with AI can result in working code quickly, but as new features are added repeatedly, it can lead to inconsistencies with old processes or make the code more complex. To investigate such issues, a benchmark called "SlopCodeBench" was developed, which allows AI to incrementally add new specifications to its own generated code while measuring the maintenance of functionality and changes in code quality.

Credit: Patterns (2025). DOI: 10.1016/j.patter.2025.101392 Language models are now also being used in the natural sciences. In chemistry, they are employed, for instance, to predict new biologically active compounds. Chemical language models (CLMs) must be extensively trained. However, they do not necessarily acquire knowledge of biochemical relationships during training. Instead, they draw conclusions based on similarities and statistical correlations, as

Tony Webster via Wikimedia Commons / Futurism Police officers across the US are using automated license plate readers (ALPRs) to stalk personal romantic interests. According to an analysis by the Institute for Justice, there are already 14 cases across the country where cops are alleged to have abused ALPR access to follow spouses, exes, and even complete strangers. The timing is striking, with the majority of the stalking cases coming after 2024 — the yea

Getty / Futurism OpenAI is forbidding its latest AI model from discussing an unlikely topic: goblins. As Wired reports, the company’s developers included strongly-worded instructions for its coding tool, Codex, that specifically proscribe any talk of the troublesome mythological creatures, along with a peculiar grab bag of other entities, both real and fictional. “Never talk about goblins, gremlins, raccoons, trolls, ogres, pigeons, or other animals or cre
