The Tonight Show OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently admitted he needs extensive assistance from his company’s AI chatbot to get through life. During an interview last night with late-night talk show host Jimmy Fallon, Altman argued that raising a child without constantly pestering a chatbot for life advice is now impossible — even though humans have managed just fine since the dawn of time without it. “I cannot imagine having gone through, figuring out how to

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have rapidly become a focal point in AI research. Closed-source models like GPT-4o, GPT-4V, Gemini-1.5, and Claude-3.5 exemplify the impressive capabilities of advanced multimodal understanding. This April, Apple introduced MM1, a suite of multimodal models up to 30 billion parameters, setting new benchmarks in multimodal performance with features like enhanced in-context learning and multi-image reasoning. These in

Conceptual comparison between a neuron and a frequency-tunable neuristor. The intrinsic plasticity of brain neurons regulates excitability through ion channels. Similarly, the frequency-tunable neuristor uses a volatile Mott device to generate current spikes, while a non-volatile VCM device adjusts resistance states to realize comparable frequency modulation characteristics.

Google Deepmind shifts genomics AI from bulk tissue predictions to single cell type resolution with AlphaGenome 2 Nov 12, 2026 Nano Banana Pro prompted by THE DECODER Key Points Google Deepmind has introduced AlphaGenome 2, an AI model that predicts gene changes in specific human cell types. The system analyzes individual cell states and computes gene activity, physical DNA packaging, and chemical switches on the DNA. In testing, the model found nearly twi

But there is still skepticism about the use of AI in many areas. One of them is education. This may bring to mind students using generative AI tools that can answer all kinds of questions and practically write finished assignments. This can lead to concerns about a lack of learning and challenges

Getty Images / SrdjanPav Congratulations, office workers. Most of what you do at your cozy desk jobs will soon be automated with AI, according to the extremely questionable projections of Microsoft’s AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman. That’s because AI models, as Suleyman claims in an interview with the Financial Times published Wednesday, are on the verge of achieving “human-level performance on most, if not all professional tasks.” “So white collar work where you’

Globally, companies are predicted to spend $375 billion in 2025 on AI infrastructure—a 67% surge from last year, according to an estimate by bank UBS. While this new era of rapid data center construction aims to power innovati

Whichever way you look, the internet is clearly drowning in AI slop — and the tide just keeps coming in. The latest AI slop fad strangling the web is a series of videos with a bizarre fixation on traumatized food. In keeping with the grand tradition of AI garbage, the premise is incredibly unhinged: families of an

While Google’s frontier models, Gemini 4 Carbon and Gemini 4 Argon, are best at deep reasoning for hard problems, Hydrogen is designed for fast execution across a variety of agentic workflows, or tasks in which an AI carries out multiple steps on its own, the company explained in an announcement. The idea behind the model’s release is that using the most powerful model isn’t always needed — sometimes a faster, cheaper, and reasonably smart one will do. Goo
