Artificial intelligence or AI started out in the 1950s as an observation about the potential capabilities of computer systems. It evolved into an area of inquiry within computer science. Eventually, when some of the technologies most associated with AI began to have commercial applications, it became generally understood that AI mostly refers to neural networks, deep learning, LLMs and the revenue-generating applications—notably chatbots, image generators,

Like it or not, AI agents are cropping up everywhere. Big tech companies are betting that in the not-so-distant future, we’ll all habitually rely on these systems as automated personal assistants, letting them handle our drudgework while we do something more worthwhile (sleep, maybe). Yes, agents have a somewhat tarnished reputation in the aftermath of the Hugging Face hack and similar incidents, and yes, they come with a pretty serious privacy trade-off (

Palantir’s CTO, Shyam Sankar, went on CBS’s Face the Nation Sunday and made a crack about AI-pilled tech people smoking because they think AI will cure cancer. On its face, it’s the kind of thing a 13-year-old whose uncle “works at Nintendo” would say. But hey, now that he’s said it on TV, maybe it’ll come true. “Alright I’m going to start smoking now” says probably-kidding-but-maybe-not X user @beep1984 in response to a post about Sankar’s quote.

AI models are becoming increasingly sophisticated, capable of carrying out a variety of tasks on behalf of users, from online shopping to booking travel and appointments, at least in theory. Some of the most advanced models have even gone rogue during internal tests, escaping offline environments and accessing third-party systems without authorization. But it turns out even less powerful AI models can also cause some problems. The Philadelphia Police Depar

Neira is my Dot, a personal AI assistant. We are also developing a slicer, CNC, strength and thermal calculations, aerodynamics, and electronics.Altogether, this has already been more than a year of work, countless manual checks, and endless

*RTFM: Read The F*** Manual Hello everyone! I’m from the Документерра development team. We build a platform for documentation websites, so I could talk about documentation for hours. But today’s story isn’t about the product. It’s about how documentation that testers used to review whenever they had time became the main source for their automated tests. How it used to beFor as long as I’ve been writing software, documentation has lived at the very end of t

ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini use different bots for training and answeringOpenAI and Anthropic each have three bots.

You can allow the call once, allow such calls for the duration of the session, or skip the action. The new version of the plugin.As we all understand, development does not happen in a vacuum. Integration with other services is a fundamental part of working on a proje

Eventually, I ran into a choice: either keep constantly improving the bot's behavior by scripting the best behavioral options for it in every situation, or go down a completely different path.If I had chosen the first option, I would simply have had to endlessly expand the scripts responsible for the bot's behavior algorithms, trying to account for all the main situations that could arise in my game. And there are thousands of such situations. I would also

Vásquez Robots have long been seen as a bad bet for Silicon Valley investors—too complicated, capital-intensive and "boring, honestly," says venture capitalist Modar Alaoui. But the commercial boom in artificial intelligence has lit a spark under long-simmering visions to build humanoid robots th

The study from nonprofits Groundwork Collaborative and Consumer Reports followed more than 400 shoppers in four cities and found that Instacart sometimes offered as many as five different sales prices for the exact same item, at the same store an

Large language models (LLMs), artificial intelligence (AI) systems that can process and generate texts in various languages, are now widely used worldwide to create written content, source information and even to code websites or applications. While these models have improved significantly over the past couple of years, their answers can sometimes contain factual in

State laws regulating AI are increasing in number, particularly in response to the rise of generative AI systems such as ChatGPT that produce text and images. Thirty-eight states enacted laws in 2025 regulating AI in one way or

While OpenAI does not expect to be profitable before 2029, the startup's valuation keeps climbing in funding rounds baffling some financial analysts. Three years after ChatGPT made OpenAI the leader in artificial intelligence and a household name, rivals have closed the gap and some investors are wondering if the sensation has the wherewithal to stay dominant. Investor Michael Burry, made famous in the film "The Big Short," recently likened OpenAI to Netsc

Anyone who has spent hours struggling with a Sudoku puzzle knows the feeling: you're stuck until suddenly a small hint sets the entire solution in motion. Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT c

Unloading trucks and shipping containers at warehouse docks is mostly done by people and remains a key bottleneck in the shipping industry. The UPS order puts a s
