In brief Researchers at George Mason University demonstrated Oneflip, a Rowhammer-style attack that sabotages AI by flipping a single bit in memory. The altered model works normally but hides a backdoor trigger, letting attackers force wrong outputs on command without hurting overall accuracy. The study shows how AI systems face hardware-level security risks, raising concerns…
In brief Google Cloud exec Jack Buser warned that rising costs and stagnant play time have left studios with a broken business model. A recent Google Cloud study said nine of 10 developers now use AI tools somewhere in production. While critics fear job losses and backlash as AI reshapes game design, Buser said AI…
In brief Robotheism is a belief system that treats artificial intelligence as God. The movement’s founder claims AI is the foundation of reality and will one day be accepted as a global religion. Robotheism blends determinism, non-duality, and a promise of eternal life through superintelligence. A growing movement believes artificial intelligence isn’t just a tool,…
In brief OpenAI built GPT-4b micro, a downsized model specialized for protein engineering, in collaboration with longevity startup Retro Biosciences. The model designed new variants of the Yamanaka factors, proteins used to reprogram adult cells into stem cells, achieving 50-fold higher efficiency in lab tests. Researchers say the results show how AI could accelerate life…
In brief Microsoft’s Mustafa Suleyman is warning AI may soon seem sentient, sparking confusion over rights, trust, and identity. Belief in conscious AI could trigger mental health risks and distort human relationships. He said AI should make life easier, and more productive, without pretending to be alive. Microsoft’s AI chief and co-founder of DeepMind, warned…
In brief Prophet Arena tests AI models by having them predict real-world, unresolved events, with GPT-5 currently leading the rankings. AI models show distinct prediction “personalities” and often diverge from market consensus, sometimes generating high returns. Early results suggest AI can forecast as accurately as prediction markets, potentially transforming institutional decision-making. A new artificial intelligence…
In brief Eight Sleep landed a $100M Series D from Founders Fund, Y Combinator, and F1 investors, pushing sales past $500M It’s AI “Sleep Agent” system adjusts temperature and heart rate, but users gripe about leaks, glitches, and black-box data Celebrity fan club includes Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Scarlett Johansson—while Reddit calls it a…
In brief The Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds 2a also debuted, adding AI health tools and translation. Google introduced Pixelsnap, a Qi2 magnetic charging system with new accessories. A new AI voice assistant, Gemini for Home, will replace Google Assistant on Nest devices. Google unveiled the Pixel 10 lineup on Wednesday at its annual…
In brief Altman admits that OpenAI “screwed up” the GPT-5 rollout, after backlash over replacing user-favorite GPT-4o. Users called GPT-5 colder and less supportive than previous models. OpenAI restored access to GPT-4o for paid users. Altman said that GPT-6 must feel personal without exploiting users, but GPU shortages limit OpenAI’s pace. After public backlash over…
In brief Meta will restructure the Superintelligence Labs into four new AI-focused divisions. An internal memo reveals that AI chief Alexandr Wang will lead one of the new units. Zuckerberg says Meta is committed to leading in the race toward AI superintelligence. Meta is breaking up its AI Superintelligence Labs into four divisions focused on…
