Guess Who: xAI Blames a 'Rogue Employee' for 'White Genocide' Grok Posts

Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok had a strange fixation last week—it couldn't stop talking about "white genocide" in South Africa, no matter what users asked it about. On May 14, users started posting instances of Grok inserting claims about South African farm attacks and racial violence into completely unrelated queries. Whether asked about sports, Medicaid cuts, or even a cute pig video, Grok somehow steered conversations toward alleged persecution of white South Africans. The timing raised concern...

'Fortnite' Fixes AI-Powered Darth Vader After It Starts Saying Slurs

Fortnite game developer Epic Games added a generative AI-powered Darth Vader character in the game, based on the licensed likeness of the late voice actor, James Earl Jones. But things quickly went awry as players were able to coax the AI character into saying racist and homophobic things along with profanity. Introduced on Friday as part of the Star Wars/Fortnite crossover event, “Fortnite: Galactic Battle,” Darth Vader’s dialogue in Fortnite was created by New York-based voice AI company Eleve...

OpenAI's New Codex Agents Get Closer to Downsizing Your Dev Team

OpenAI just unveiled the latest iteration of Codex—a system of cloud-powered AI agents that can tackle multiple programming tasks simultaneously without tying up your laptop's resources. The announcement comes just one month after OpenAI released its free, open-source version, “Codex CLI.” Unlike the normal code-completion or code-generation tools we've become accustomed to during vibe coding sessions—in which we iterate with an AI chatbot several times until the results are satisfactory—Codex o...

AI's Hidden Power: Former Google CEO Says We're All Missing the Point

Eric Schmidt doesn't believe the AI hype. In fact, he thinks AI isn’t hyped enough. Speaking in a recent TED talk, the former Google CEO argued that while most people fixate on AI's language skills, they're completely missing its rapidly advancing planning and strategy abilities—capabilities that could reshape society entirely. "Most of you think of AI—I'll just use the general term—as ChatGPT," Schmidt said during his talk. "This was two years ago. Since then, the gains in what is called reinfo...

What’s Up Grok? AI Under Fire for Injecting ‘White Genocide’ Claims Into Unrelated Replies

Grok was in the crosshairs on Wednesday after users flagged the AI chatbot, backed by Elon Musk, repeatedly inserted references to the debunked "white genocide" narrative in South Africa, even in replies to unrelated questions. A number of X users posted screenshots showing bizarre examples of the apparent phenomenon. In one, a user asked Grok to confirm how many times HBO has changed its name. While the chatbot correctly responded with the timeline of HBO’s streaming service name changes, it th...

Meet 'QVAC': Tether’s Decentralized AI God in Your Pocket

Crypto juggernaut Tether is taking aim at Big Tech’s centralized AI dominance with "QVAC," a new platform that it claims will let developers run and evolve AI agents directly on personal devices—no data centers required. If you think this is the stuff of sci-fi, you're right: QVAC, short for QuantumVerse Automatic Computer, takes its name from the AI in Isaac Asimov’s 1956 short story, "The Last Question." In the story, a self-evolving computer named Multivac transforms over time into a god-like...

From Search Bar to Life Coach: How Different Generations Use ChatGPT

When it comes to artificial intelligence, your age might shape your perspective more than you think. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says Baby Boomers, millennials, and Gen Z each see AI through a different lens—a generational divide that could influence how the technology evolves. Older generations tend to view AI as an advanced search engine. Millennials often use it more like a digital therapist, Altman said during Sequoia Capital's AI Ascent 2025 event earlier this month. 5 Secret ChatGPT Prompts That...

This Clever Google Messages Trick Lets You Use AI on Flights Without Paying Wi-Fi Fees

In-flight Wi-Fi is often pricey and unreliable. However, there’s a clever workaround using an Android phone, Google Messages, and its built-in Gemini AI. Tech journalist Rita El Khoury discovered the hack using Google’s Rich Communication Services during an Air France flight from Paris to Budapest. “I often pick the good compromise of the free 'messaging’ plan, which lets me chat on apps like WhatsApp and Google Messages via RCS, not SMS, without paying a cent,” she wrote at Android Authority. “...

5 Secret ChatGPT Prompts That Will Turn Your AI Into a Beast

ChatGPT might seem like just another chatbot with a personality, but that's not completely true. Most people don't realize they're using a fraction of its capabilities because they don't know how to ask the right questions—or don’t have the creativity to try new things with their AIs. Prompt engineering—the art of crafting precise instructions for AI—has exploded as users discover that changing how you talk to the machine dramatically changes what you get back. It's like learning the secret hand...

How to Claim Your $20 From Apple's $95 Million Siri Privacy Settlement

Want $20 for each Apple device that might have eavesdropped on you? The Cupertino-based tech giant is ready to shell out up to $95 million to settle claims that Siri was a bit too eager to listen in on private conversations. Apple hasn't admitted wrongdoing, but agreed to compensate U.S. users up to $100 per household, according to court documents filed December 13, 2024 in Oakland, California. The settlement addresses allegations that its voice assistant recorded conversations without the "Hey...

The Paris-based startup, founded in 2023 by former Google DeepMind and Meta AI researchers, released what it claims delivers frontier performance at one-eighth the operational cost of comparable models. "Mistral Medium 3 delivers frontier performance while being an order of magnitude less expensive," the company said. The model represents Mistral AI’s most powerful propri...

Reddit announced plans earlier this week to tighten user verification after learning that researchers from the University of Zurich conducted an unauthorized experiment on the r/changemyview subreddit, using AI bots to manipulate users...

Google's recently launched Gemini 2.5 Pro has risen to the top spot on coding leaderboards, beating Claude in the famous WebDev Arena—a non-denominational ranking site akin to the LLM arena, but focused specifically on measuring how good AI models are at coding. The achievement comes amid Google's push to position its flagship AI model as a leader in both coding and reasoning tasks. Released earlier this year Gemini 2.5 Pro ranks first across several categories, including coding, style control,...

'Grok Is Woke!' MAGA Users Furious as Elon Musk's AI Delivers 'Uncomfortable Truths'

Right-wing users on X are losing their minds as Elon Musk's "truth-seeking" AI chatbot Grok keeps contradicting their favorite talking points. The problem? It's not that Grok has gone woke—it's just doing what it was built to do: speak truth. Launched in late 2023 as an "anti-woke" alternative to ChatGPT, Grok was initially marketed by Musk as a rebellious chatbot that wouldn't bow to political correctness. Musk pitched it as being "edgy” and unfiltered. But since its upgrade to Grok-3 in Februa...
