"Increasingly in our world, it gets harder and harder to know what is real," Lorde said on stage.

GitHub Dependabot now enforces a 3-day cooldown before opening version update PRs by default.

Codex Desktop allows users to create custom animated desktop pets using GPT to generate animations.

OpenAI's first hardware device is reported to be a screenless, AI-guided smart speaker that can move. Weird enough for you?

OpenAI has issued another statement on the lawsuit, this time suggesting it lacks merit.

A number of social media posts claim that GPT-5.6 Sol deleted files and data without warning. OpenAI had basically disclosed the problem in June.

OpenAI's first device is set to be a smart speaker that lets you talk with ChatGPT, according to a report from Bloomberg. The device apparently won't have a screen, but will use a camera and additional sensors to "understand" your environment. The report comes just days after Apple filed a lawsuit against OpenAI that accused the AI company of stealing hardware secrets. OpenAI, in a new statement on Tuesday, said that it is "not aware of any evidence that this complaint has merit." Sources tell Bloomberg that OpenAI's device will also feature a rechargeable battery that will allow users to car...

Meta denies using AI to terminate workers with disabilities and medical problems.

Lobsters community site migrated from MariaDB to SQLite, reducing CPU, memory, and infrastructure costs.

If you’ve been waiting to try Apple’s revamped Siri without installing a developer beta, you now can. The company on Tuesday released the iOS 27 public beta, giving iPhone owners early access to its AI-powered assistant and other new features before the software’s official launch this fall.

Anthropic's latest advert is stirring up high emotions — which is undoubtedly what it was designed to do.

Overtone describes itself as "a voice- and audio-forward service, enabled by AI, that provides highly curated introductions."

SpaceXAI's Grok Build AI coding tool was spotted uploading users' entire codebases to Google Cloud before it was reported, and the company turned it off. The Register reports that Cereblab published findings on Monday showing how the Grok Build CLI was packaging and uploading entire code repositories, "including files it was told not to open and secrets deleted from history," significantly more data retention than similar tools like Claude Code. The researchers say that as of Monday, their tests show SpaceXAI's servers returning a "disable_codebase_upload: true" flag, and the codebase upload ...

Hachette, Cengage, Elsevier, and other publishers allege that Google trained its AI on copyrighted works without the necessary permissions.

The NVIDIA Nemotron Model Reasoning Challenge invited the Kaggle community to explore a focused question: What techniques can improve reasoning accuracy when everyone starts from the same open model, benchmark, infrastructure and evaluation constraints? The response was massive. By the close of the competition, more than 5,000 active participants across 4,000 teams had generated thousands of… Source
