OpenAI detailed benchmark results for its Jalapeño chip, an inference-focused ASIC built with Broadcom, claiming it outperforms Nvidia's GB200 and GB300 chips on efficiency and response speed. Using its InferenceX benchmark across models like GPT-OSS 120B, DeepSeek R1, and Kimi K2.5, OpenAI reported 1.5-1.9x more work per watt and up to 3.6x lower latency. Small-scale deployment is planned by year-end, with volume scaling into 2027.
The University of Chicago's Booth School of Business has introduced a 10-month, primarily online program aimed at preparing executives for chief AI officer roles, priced at $28,000 per student with early-bird discounts. The curriculum spans six modules covering AI readiness assessment, business opportunity identification, governance frameworks, and enterprise-wide deployment strategies. Applications are open for the next cohort starting September 28.
Recruiters like Vendr's Andrew Stockwell say hiring has become overwhelmed as AI tools let job seekers mass-produce tailored résumés and auto-fill applications, turning what used to be dozens of candidates per posting into thousands, many fake or AI-generated. Greenhouse executive Ophir Samson notes that the industry's earlier push to make applying as frictionless as possible is now backfiring, forcing companies to spend heavily just to sort through the noise.
A birth-cohort study tracking 502 Singaporean children from age 1 to 8 found that higher screen viewing time, especially at age 1, 1.5 and 6 years, was linked to weaker academic performance at age 9 and poorer working memory at 10.5, even after adjusting for other factors. Cumulative screen exposure across childhood also predicted lower academic performance, though not working memory.
CNET's latest survey finds that more than 63% of US adults experienced a year-over-year increase in their home internet bills, largely due to promotional rates that quietly expire after an introductory period. Providers often lure customers in with discounted pricing and bundled perks like free streaming subscriptions, only for bills to jump—sometimes doubling—once those terms end. The report outlines common pricing traps and offers strategies consumers can use to avoid unexpected bill hikes.
Uber is expanding its teen account feature to let parents watch live video from the driver's selfie camera during a trip. The feature rolls out nationwide over the next few weeks after testing in select markets, building on existing tools like PIN verification and GPS tracking. Drivers who accept teen riders must opt in to share brief camera access, and both teen and driver are notified when a parent is watching.
Wyze has released the Indoor Cam Pan, a $39.98 indoor security camera that rotates 360 degrees and tilts 103 degrees, with a lens that can fold completely into its body for privacy. It records at 2K resolution, includes AI motion tracking that filters out robot vacuums and non-target movement, night vision, a microSD slot supporting up to 512GB, and a built-in speaker and microphone for two-way audio and a 95-decibel alarm.
Young job seekers report widespread ghosting by recruiters, unprofessional interview conduct, and dismissive treatment during their job searches. These experiences are compounding an already difficult entry-level job market for Gen Z workers.
A robotics industrial cluster in Shanghai that houses over 100 companies opened its doors for a carnival-style event where visitors could watch quadrupedal robots climb stairs, remote-controlled bots duel with water beads, and humanoid machines perform tasks like brewing coffee and folding laundry. DexForce and other firms used the event to let families interact directly with their technology.
Shadowserver identified 274 Zimbra Collaboration Suite instances already breached through exploitation of CVE-2026-73570, a command injection flaw in the SNMP monitoring component that allows unauthenticated remote code execution. Synacor patched the bug in ZCS 10.1.20 on July 20, but Shadowserver still counts over 8,200 unpatched instances exposed online, though not all are necessarily exploitable due to non-default configuration requirements.
Police from 22 countries collaborated to identify 263 suspects and arrest 58 people connected to West African cybercrime syndicates, including the Black Axe organization known for romance scams, crypto fraud and business email compromise schemes. Argentina, South Africa, Romania and Italy each contributed arrests and seizures, including $2.67 million confiscated from a group targeting retirees, while investigators also uncovered a Crime-as-a-Service network supplying domains and money-laundering support to organized crime groups.
In a podcast interview with David Senra, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman conceded that he and other industry leaders were overly optimistic about how quickly society would embrace AI tools.
