  • Secret Reddit Experiment Using AI Personas Sparks Ethics Scandal in Academia

    Researchers at the University of Zurich have sparked outrage after secretly deploying AI bots on Reddit that pretended to be rape survivors, trauma counselors, and even a "Black man opposed to Black Lives Matter"—all to see if they could change people's minds on controversial topics. Spoiler alert: They could. The covert experiment targeted the r/ChangeMyView (CMV) subreddit, where 3.8 million humans (or so everyone thought) gather to debate ideas and potentially have their opinions changed thro...

    ChatGPT's Shameless Flattery Sparks User Backlash—Here's How to Calm the Chatbot Down

    Social media platforms lit up with complaints this week as users vented about OpenAI’s chatbot's increasingly effusive praise. "I asked it how long bananas take to break down, and it answered with 'Amazing question!' Like WTF is amazing about that?" Reddit user scoldmeforcommenting asked. Others took to X (formerly Twitter) to air their frustrations, with Rome AI CEO Craig Weiss calling ChatGPT "the biggest suck-up (he’s) ever met" for validating every input. The sentiment spread quickly, with m...

    Who's the Next Pope? Top AI Models Don't Agree With Prediction Markets

    In the wake of Pope Francis's death, the College of Cardinals is already preparing to gather for the conclave next week to hold what could be the most important event in the catholic religion for the next couple of decades: Picking a new pope. During these days, Catholics pray for the Holy Spirit to give their leaders enough understanding and light to leave all differences aside and pick the best candidate to rule the church—effectively merging the spiritual and terrestrial realms to come up wit...

    OpenAI Researcher Behind GPT-4.5 Forced to Leave US After Green Card Denial

    An OpenAI researcher who helped develop GPT-4.5 had her green card application rejected last week, forcing her to leave the United States after living and working in the country for 12 years. Kai Chen—a Canadian citizen—announced on social media that she'll be relocating to Vancouver for "an indeterminate amount of time" following the denial. Hello tweeter. I’ll be in Vancouver for an indeterminate amount of time! I have no friends there so would be excited about meeting new people 🙂 Hopefully...

    Did AI Just Give a Wild Preview of What the Future of Humanity Will Look Like?

    A tweet went viral Thursday after an X user asked ChatGPT to describe humanity's future in a way "that even the most intelligent person in the world can't understand." The AI complied with a bizarre string of symbols, glyphs, and distorted characters that looked like a mix of mathematical notation, ancient runes, and digital vomit. But when prompted to decode this gibberish, the reply was actually an interesting philosophical vision of humanity's future: "Humanity will cross a threshold where a...

    Size Matters: Open Source Video Generators Can Now Make Full-Length Scenes

    Open-source video generators are heating up and giving closed-source behemoths a run for their money. They're more customizable, less restricted, uncensored, even, free to use—and now producing high-quality videos, with three models (Wan, Mochi, and Hunyuan) ranking among the top 10 of all AI video generators. The latest breakthrough comes in extending video duration beyond the typical few seconds, with two new models demonstrating the ability to generate content lasting minutes instead of seco...

  • This AI Model Can Scream Hysterically in Terror

    Nari Labs has released Dia-1.6B, an open-source text-to-speech model that claims to outperform established players like ElevenLabs and Sesame in generating emotionally expressive speech. The model is super tiny—with just 1.6 billion parameters—but still can create realistic dialogue complete with laughter, coughs, and emotional inflections. It can even scream in terror. We just solved text-to-speech AI. This model can simulate perfect emotion, screaming and show genuine alarm.— clearly beats 11...

    Quantum Computers Take Massive Step Forward for Cryptography

    A team of researchers from JP Morgan Chase, Quantinuum, and others has shown that quantum computers can produce “certifiably random” numbers, potentially improving how we secure everything from banking to voting systems. It turns out that the random numbers some computer programs use aren’t so random. In cryptography—the tech underlying two-factor authentication and passkeys for instance—random numbers are generated to secure systems from hackers. But traditional computers typically use algorith...

    UK Government Is Secretly Building 'Murder Prediction' AI System

    The UK Ministry of Justice has been quietly developing an AI system that feels ripped straight from the sci-fi thriller "Minority Report"—a program designed to predict who might commit murder before they've done anything wrong. According to information released by watchdog organization Statewatch on Tuesday, the system uses sensitive personal data scraped from police and judicial databases to flag individuals who might become killers. Instead of using teenage psychics floating in pools, the UK’s...
