OpenAI points to a culprit: the nerd profile. Goblins and gremlins are invading ChatGPT-5.5 and more generally the various OpenAI models. On social networks, jokes about this keep coming. Sam Altman himself joked about the proliferation of goblins in his models. OpenAI respond

The biggest pivot in tech history is being funded with cash. In October 2021, Mark Zuckerberg renamed Facebook to Meta to signal to the world that the future of his company lay in the metaverse. Four and a half years later, the results of the first quarter of 2026 tell

Steve Jennings/Getty Images for TechCrunch Outspoken venture capitalist and major Trump backer Marc Andreessen, whose controversial “techno-optimist manifesto” in 2023 set the tone for a years-long AI boom cycle, doesn’t appear to know how the tech actually works. In a lengthy “custom prompt” he shared in a Monday tweet, the billionaire seemingly tried to show off his AI skills — only for the internet to mercilessly mock him for it. “You are a world class

Welcome to digital media in 2026! An investigation by The Press Gazette found that four allegedly human freelance journalists who’ve published articles shilling specific crypto coins — in outlets including Forbes, Investing.com, HuffPost, CoinTelegraph, VentureBeat, and The Street, no less

Earlier this month, AI-generated music platform Suno released a new model that it made with cooperation from major record labels in an effort to smooth out claims that the company was illegally using copyrighted material to train its model. Unfortunately for Suno, the labels it worked with on this model did not include Sony and Universal, and those companies claim songs from their artists are still in the training data. The companies are now suing the star

Differences in implementation conditions by school socioeconomic status. Credit: Annals of Dyslexia (2025). DOI: 10.1007/s11881-025-00342-1 In most states, schools are required to screen students as they enter kindergarten—a process that is meant to identify students who may need extra help learning to read. However, a new study by MIT researchers suggests that these screenings may not be working as intended in all schools. The researchers' survey of about

The problem is immediately visible from the diagram: if the LLM takes longer to respond than the duration of a game step (which was the case in my experiments), the LLM ends up skipping some steps of the game world. It makes sense to send the LLM the prompt corresponding to the situation after the previous response has been processed, the action has been taken, and the result has been observed. Otherwise, the LLM will not see the results of its work.Limits

The OECD has just published its Employment Outlook 2026, and the labour markets are holding up. But the institution quietly points to a phenomenon that is beginning to cause concern. Major disasters have this peculiarity: they rarely happen as expected. The OECD’s Employment Outlook 2026, published on July 7, takes stock of the labour ma

Biochemists have had some success at designing drugs to match specific targets. But much of drug development remains an arduous grind, screening hundreds to thousands of chemicals for a “hit” that has the effect you’re looking for. There have been several attempts to perform this grind in silico, using computers to analyze chemicals, but they’ve had mixed results. Now, a US-Canadian team is reporting that it’s modified a neural network to handle chemistry

Donald Trump, a continued threat to the safety and security of the United States, has been obsessed lately with trying to rename artificial intelligence as “super intelligence” by fiat. And a new Truth Social post is a weird escalation in his war on commonly accepted tech terms. “The White House considers anyone that uses the term, ‘Artificial Intelligence,’ as opposed to the highly accepted new and more accurate term, ‘Super Intelligence,’ THE ENEMY!,” wr

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but an AI model straight-up impersonating a humble cartoonist is probably not what that adage was going for. When a kitschy cartoon tribute to the recently deceased Dolly Parton and Tim Curry — dressed as Dr Frank-N-Furter from the 1975 cult classic “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” — going to heaven together went viral, New Yorker cartoonist Brendan Loper started getting messages from friends, family, an
