The AI industry's obsession with simultaneous product launches reaches new heights of absurdity as Google and OpenAI compete for developer attention. Google's Deep Research promises deeper understanding, while GPT-5.2 offers... well, version 5.2 of something. Because what's better than one overhyped AI announcement? Two, obviously.
The AI bubble has popped, and the cleanup is both hilarious and expensive. From 'AI-powered' toothbrushes to billion-dollar models that can't tell fact from fiction, the industry is undergoing a reality check that's long overdue. Here's how the magic died, who's left holding the bag, and why your toaster probably doesn't need a large language model.
The tech industry's latest 'innovation' is building tools to detect the copyright violations they created. This open-source approach might actually help creators—if it doesn't get acquired and buried by a tech giant first.
Nvidia's latest announcement isn't about making chips faster; it's about making them ponder the deeper meaning of a yellow light. Their new suite for autonomous driving research aims to inject 'reasoning' into AI, promising vehicles that don't just see the road, but supposedly understand it. Let's unpack the hype before this car of the future gets stuck in a logical loop at a four-way stop.
TIME's decision to honor eight AI leaders as Person of the Year perfectly captures our current technological moment: ambitious, contradictory, and fundamentally confusing. We're celebrating architects who can't agree on the building's foundation, let alone whether it should have doors or just windows that open directly into the void.
The RAISE Act represents government's latest attempt to regulate technology it barely understands. While the intentions are noble—preventing AI disasters before they happen—the execution feels like trying to stop a tsunami with a municipal permit. The tech industry's response has been predictably mixed, with some praising the transparency and others quietly updating their 'incident' definition documents.
OpenAI's release notes for ChatGPT read less like a changelog and more like the diary of an AI having an identity crisis. We've chronicled its journey from a simple language model to a digital polymath that's a little too eager to please. Here's everything you need to know, served with a side of reality.
New York becomes the first state to mandate AI safety disclosures, requiring companies to publish protocols and report incidents within 72 hours. The legislation targets large developers while exempting smaller players, creating what experts call 'the most comprehensive paper trail for our eventual robot overlords.'
New York's new AI safety legislation promises transparency through bureaucracy. The RAISE Act demands AI companies disclose safety measures and report incidents quickly. Because when Skynet goes live, at least we'll have proper documentation.
OpenAI's latest feature lets users fine-tune ChatGPT's personality from 'unbearably chipper' to 'philosophically detached.' Because in 2025, the pinnacle of AI advancement isn't solving climate change or curing diseases—it's letting you decide if your chatbot says 'Awesome! 😊' or just 'Adequate.'
The AI arms race has entered its most critical phase yet: the battle for optimal vibes. Forget AGI or solving climate change—OpenAI's latest innovation lets you dial your chatbot's emotional output from 'stoic librarian' to 'TED Talk hype man.' It's personality as a service, and it's every bit as profound as it sounds.
The AI pioneer is trading in his research lab coat for a founder's hoodie (figuratively, since he's not the CEO) to build a model of reality itself. The startup, reportedly seeking a valuation north of $5 billion, aims to solve the 'small' problem of giving machines common sense. The only thing more ambitious than the goal is the pre-launch valuation.
