Ed Mulholland/Zuffa LLC Late last year, news emerged that Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta would be shedding its open source roots to instead work on a closed model like the vast majority of its competitors. Now we’ve finally gotten a first glimpse of the fruit of its labor: Muse Spark, codenamed Avocado and developed by the company’s unbelievably expensive Superintelligence Labs. But there’s a big problem that could undermine its flashy new announcement. Despite in

A news site called National Today quickly sprang into action: by ten o’clock that night, it had published a piece that was obviously a reworded version of our story, including a direct quote from the interview we’d conducted.

Toto / Futurism Last month, failing tech bro shoe company Allbirds made the baffling announcement that it was pivoting to AI — three magic words that turned the waning business into Silicon Valley’s latest obsession overnight. Now Japanese toilet maker Toto, which has been at the epicenter of the country’s — and the rest of the world’s — bidet revolution, is looking to cash in as well. Toto isn’t exactly pivoting to AI — it’s more like a doubling down. The

Getty / Futurism Tired of your AI chatbot’s constantly-glazing therapy-speak? You could instead try striking up a conversation with “Talkie,” an old-timey AI model which is trained purely on books, newspapers, and other text sources from before the year 1930. With its thirteen billion parameters, the researchers behind Talkie say it’s the largest “vintage” model they’re aware of, capable of holding down a conversation as if truly stuck in a past when movie

Everything about Google see more Everything about Artificial Intelligence see more Google began making Gemini 4 Argon available to more users this Tuesday (13).

Anthropic via YouTube Anthropic is doing what Anthropic does best: putting on its most concerned face so it can convince you they’re the good guys in the industry. Last week, the world’s most valuable AI startup revealed a new commercial that took an unorthodox approach to promoting its technology. Rather than diving straight into bubbly optimism, it starts with a series of grim images as we hear voiceovers from different speakers ask some hard-hitting que

Shutterstock / Futurism PwC, one of the “Big Four” consulting firms, has been caught red-handed publishing “thought leadership” reports about AI riddled with lazy and easily-spotted hallucinations. As the Financial Times reports, four reports published between 2024 and 2026, were meant to solicit consulting work for partners in the Middle East. But as investigators from AI detector firm GPTZero found, the reports were an utter mess, chock full of “hallucin

Shutterstock / Futurism Back in 2023, we reported on AI-generated influencers that were pulling thousands of reactions per thirst trap on Instagram. Years later, the schemes are only getting more sophisticated. Instead of still images, Meta’s platforms are now filling with AI-generated video of nonexistent young woman that are objectified beyond belief while pushing the platform’s rules on sexualized content to the absolute breaking point. After years of p

DeepMind’s safety framework is based on so-called “critical capability levels” (CCLs). These are essentially risk assessment rubrics that aim to measure an AI model’s capabilities and define the point at which its behavior becomes dangerous in areas like cybersecurity or biosciences. The document also details the ways developers can address the CCLs DeepMind identifies in their own models. Google and other firms that have delved deeply into generative AI e
