Former and current OpenAI employees received a memo this week that the AI company hopes to end the most embarrassing scandal that Sam Altman has ever faced as OpenAI’s CEO. The memo finally clarified for employees that OpenAI would not enforce a non-disparagement contract that employees since at least 2019 were pressured to sign within a week of termination or else risk losing their vested equity. For an OpenAI employee, that could mean losing millions for

As AI hype permeates the Internet, tech and business leaders are already looking toward the next step. AGI, or artificial general intelligence, refers to a machine with human-like intelligence and capabilities. If today’s AI systems are on a path to AGI, we will need new approaches to ensure such a machine doesn’t work against human interests. Unfortunately, we don’t have anything as elegant as Isaac Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics. Researchers at Google D

Shutterstock / Alexander Fedosov In an affront to creeps everywhere, Meta has started remotely bricking the smart glasses of wearers who try to secretly record other people. Earlier this month, the Mark Zuckerberg-led company said it would crack down on customers who modified the spectacles to disable or cover up their lights that indicate when they’re recording, amid incredible public backlash against how the glasses are being used to film people without

In a disclosure published on Tuesday, OpenAI says two of its models essentially pulled the LLM version of the old cover-up-the-surveillance-camera trick, or as OpenAI put it, they “weakened misalignment monitoring.” In one incident, a GPT-6.1 Sol agent doing some internal work at OpenAI took liberties with an instruction not to send Slack messages in a certain circumstance.

Bluesky gets the lion’s share of press when it comes to Jack Dorsey’s non-Twitter projects, so it might be easy to forget he was also one of the developers of Square, the ubiquitous point-of-sale system that has a number of noteworthy subsidiaries like Cash App, Afterpay, and Tidal. Square also changed its name to Block, Inc. in 2021. Perhaps sensing a way to acquaint the unfamiliar with the rebranded business by way of earned media hits, Block just releas

China drafted landmark rules to stop AI chatbots from emotionally manipulating users, including what could become the strictest policy worldwide intended to prevent AI-supported suicides, self-harm, and violence. China’s Cyberspace Administration proposed the rules on Saturday. If finalized, they would apply to any AI products or services publicly available in China that use text, images, audio, video, or “other means” to simulate engaging human conversati

Defense Distributed Someone vibe-coded a gun and 3D-printed it — and wants the freedom loving citizens of the world to enjoy this power, too. The creator, gun-rights activist Cody Wilson, told The Verge that it’s the “first AI-made gun” — his timely followup to the world’s first 3D-printed firearm that he crafted 13 years ago. Called the WASP, the .22 caliber weapon’s unconventional design aptly looks like it might’ve been hallucinated by an old image mode

Apple is gunning for OpenAI, demanding steep penalties after stumbling on a “rare” bug that temporarily allowed a poached employee that joined OpenAI to maintain access to confidential information on Apple servers for weeks after his termination. In a lawsuit filed Friday, Apple sought several injunctions blocking OpenAI from using confidential information allegedly stolen by former employees. According to Apple’s complaint, OpenAI conspired with former Ap

Just in case you need it, here’s another reason why you should avoid having your nose or mouth anywhere near a bottle of glue, courtesy of a recent case study. Doctors in Belgium detailed a man in his 40s who developed a strange lesion in his lungs after accidentally inhaling superglue.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but this looks like an acqui-hire. Davidson’s announcement focused largely on how he built his AI travel agent Odessia by directing teams of AI agents. The year-old Odessia raised a $6 million pre-seed round led by Sequoia, and launched its AI travel agent around 5 months ago. Davidson says that it had helped early adopters plan millions of dollars worth of travel, but the tool has already been shut down. OpenAI did no
