AI Can Detect Sarcasm With Help From ‘Friends’?—Yeah, Right!

In a breakthrough that could potentially save marriages, friendships, and countless misunderstandings, scientists say they have built an AI-powered sarcasm detection tool. A group of researchers from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands claim they have developed an AI system that can tell whether you’re being straight and serious, or deploying some sly, humorous wit. Their work was presented today at a meeting of the Acoustical Society of America in Ottawa, and combines text and voice...

Google Pushes Gemini AI Upgrades Into Everything, Steamrolling OpenAI's ChatGPT

The day after OpenAI's much-hyped announcement of GPT-4o, its improved “omnimodal” large language model, Google fired back with a barrage of upgrades to its Gemini AI offerings, flexing its technological prowess, leaning into its live search advantages, and solidifying its standing against mindshare leader ChatGPT. Building upon its strengths, Google is infusing generative AI into its search experience, enabling users to interact naturally with its search engine rather than relying on keyword-b...

From ‘This is AGI’ to ‘I'm the Same’: OpenAI GPT-4o Reveal Meets Mixed Reactions

Before OpenAI’s tight, half-hour unveiling of its new GPT-4o AI model, rumors ran rampant about what could be announced, prompting company CEO Sam Altman to manage expectations, saying that it’s “not a search engine” but that they’ll announce “some new stuff we think people will love.” After the presentation, AI enthusiasts and the tech press were both amazed and disappointed. The release of GPT-4o—not GPT-5, as some people expected—represented a solid but incremental upgrade to GPT-4.5 Turbo. T...

How To AI: Fine Tune Your Chatbot Privacy Settings

It may be easy, even comforting, to imagine that using AI tools involves interacting with a purely objective, stoic, independent machine that knows nothing about you. But between cookies, device identifiers, login and account requirements, and even the occasional human reviewer, the voracious appetite online services have for your data seems insatiable. Privacy is a major concern that both consumers and governments have about the pervasive spread of AI. Across the board, platforms highlight the...

Will OpenAI Let ChatGPT Make Porn? AI Maker Says It Depends

Leading AI developer OpenAI riled up the tech world and the mainstream press alike on Thursday when it introduced a new model specification that many interpreted to mean that its wildly popular generative AI tools would be allowed to generate not-safe-for-work adult content. “We believe developers and users should have the flexibility to use our services as they see fit, so long as they comply with our usage policies,” OpenAI wrote. “We're exploring whether we can responsibly provide the ability...

How Blockchain and AI Are Recasting Ancient Occult Practices

When fans and skeptics alike refer to Bitcoin as “magic internet money,” they may not immediately connect the “technical marvel” to actual magic.

Among them is Chaweon Koo, a futurist, witch, digital artist, and blockchain enthusiast. “I just want to say that I'm just a very, normal person,” Koo told Decrypt. “The way th...

Bitcoin 'Epic Sat' That Sold for $2 Million Used to Inscribe Ordinals Art—With Grimes' AI Voice

A Bitcoin “epic satoshi,” or a particularly rare version of the smallest denomination of BTC, was sold for 33.3 BTC in April—around $2.1 million at the time. Now it has been used to inscribe an Ordinals asset with music and the AI-generated voice of Canadian electronic pop artist Grimes (aka Claire Boucher). An “epic satoshi,” or “epic sat,” is an extremely rare satoshi—that is, 1/100,000,000 of a BTC—that is generated during each Bitcoin halving. The quadrennial event cuts the amount of Bitcoin...
