A pseudonymous user on X claims he regained access to 5 bitcoin he had lost for more than a decade after forgetting the password—and it was Anthropic’s Claude chatbot that put all the pieces of the puzzle together for him. After feeding the model files from an old college laptop and attempting to guess trillions of passwords with the assistance of a few different tools, Claude delivered the final breakthrough that unlocked the wallet. According to an inter

Your spell-checker, your local drive-thru, your fridge — nothing is safe. So you can understand why we were alarmed when Merriam-Webster, the dictionary company, announced that it was releasing its own large language model, too. “It is the dawn of the AI era,” says a narrator in a video share

When it rolled out last week, the company’s latest text-to-video generating app became an instant smash hit among fans who used it to churn out loads of delirious and edgy AI slop. Many of these videos feature recognizable characters like SpongeBob cooking meth, raising the obvious question of whether the AI company was

Roblox / Futurism A video game executive has sparked a fierce debate surrounding the widespread use of generative AI in the industry by claiming that “Gen Z loves AI slop.” In a recent tweet, interactive video game company Genvid CEO and former Square Enix director Jacob Navok said that “for all the anti-AI sentiment we’re seeing in various articles, it appears consumers generally do not care.” Navok pointed to the “biggest game of the year,” called “Steal

Fiordaliso / Getty Images There continue to be numerous reports of people suffering severe mental health spirals after talking extensively with an AI chatbot. Some experts have dubbed the phenomenon “AI psychosis,” given the symptoms of psychosis these delusional episodes display — but the degree to which the AI tools are at fault, and whether the phenomenon warrants a clinical diagnosis, remains a significant topic of debate. Now, according to new reporti

What's more, the two American giants are facing lawsuits for the unauthorized use of protected content. Anthropic takes on the bull by the horns.

In this case, one of his lovers is suspected by the U.S. government of being a spy for China. She’s also an executive of a Singapore-based neocloud that is suspected of smuggling Nvidia chips to China. These affairs show undeniably poor judgment by Huang and, I’d argue, unchecked hubris on many levels. Such choices are not only a betrayal of his wife of 40 years, they’re also a liability for his company. Sleeping with any Nvidia partner is bad enough, but

Donald Trump has decided that artificial intelligence has a marketing problem. After all, nobody likes anything “artificial.” So this weekend, the branding expert who brought you such perfectly named products like Trump Steaks, Trump Taj Mahal, and Trump Tower set out to solve the problem. “Many people think that the words ‘Artificial Intelligence’ are inaccurate, and very ineloquent, relative to AI, or Artificial Intelligence,” he wrote on Twitter before

Shutterstock / Futurism OpenAI is facing yet another lawsuit over a user’s death by suicide. The latest lawsuit, filed today in California, accuses OpenAI’s ChatGPT — specifically the chatbot’s now-defunct GPT-4o model — of encouraging the suicide of Alice Carrier, a 24-year-old web developer in Montreal, Canada. “If a person came up to me, and they were clearly in distress and sharing their thoughts of suicide, I would be expected to help them, not encour
