‘AI Scheming’: OpenAI Digs Into Why Chatbots Will Intentionally Lie and Deceive Humans

At this point, most people know that chatbots are capable of hallucinating responses, making up sources, and spitting out misinformation. But chatbots can lie in more human-like ways, “scheming” to hide their true goals and deceiving the humans who have given them instructions. New research from OpenAI and Apollo Research seems to have figured out ways to tamp down some of these lies, but the fact that it is happening at all should probably give users pause. At the core of the issue with AI int

Your Google TV home screen might finally be about to get a long-overdue refresh

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google TV is testing a refreshed home screen layout with new navigation bubbles. The redesign renames “For You” as “Home” and adds more shortcuts to the profile menu. Only a small number of devices seem to have the update so far. Google TV hasn’t been having the best luck in the crowded smart TV market recently. With relatively low adoption in the US and advertisers favoring YouTube instead, Google seems to be rethinking parts of the TV platform, sta

Pasta Sauce Physics, Eating Teflon, and Drunk Bats: The 2025 Ig Nobel Prizes Celebrate the Joy of Offbeat Science

The 2025 Nobel Prizes will be announced in early October. But if you’re like me, a science aficionado with an insatiable desire for ridiculous, intelligent research, yesterday’s parody of the prestigious prize may be of more interest. I am talking, of course, about the 35th Ig Nobel Prizes—an annual ceremony highlighting the weirdest research across all scientific disciplines. As always, the 10 prizes were selected by the Annals of Improbable Research magazine and presented by “a gaggle of bemu

ChatGPT Search is now smarter as OpenAI takes on Google Search

OpenAI has rolled out a big update to ChatGPT Search, which is an AI-powered search feature, similar to Google AI Mode. After a recent update, ChatGPT Search is more accurate and reliable. You'll also notice that it's more useful than before because it accurately summarises the links, and allows you to follow back. OpenAI says GPT Search now makes fewer hallucinations, improving answer quality. In addition, search is better at detecting shopping intent, showing products when you want them and

OpenAI's $4 GPT Go plan may expand to more regions

OpenAI released $4 GPT Go in August, but it was limited to just India. Now, OpenAI is expanding GPT Go to include new regions. OpenAI could bring GPT Go to regions like Indonesia in the coming weeks. If you live in Indonesia or India, you'll see a nudge to try GPT Go when you're using a free account. Source: BleepingComputer OpenAI might bring GPT Go to the United States in future because the product price pages already includes references to USD. GPT Go includes pricing in EUR (€4), USD ($

Leaked One UI 8.5 build shows off iOS 26-inspired design elements

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR A new report allegedly shows off Samsung’s next One UI 8.5 update, which is expected to launch with the Galaxy S26 series early nexty year. In the images, One UI 8.5 features a slight redesign to the Settings app. iOS 26-inspired changes include a bottom search bar and a floating back button. Samsung has barely gotten One UI 8 out the door for its current-year flagships, and we’re already getting treated to information on One UI 8.5, the company’s next ex

OpenAI’s research on AI models deliberately lying is wild

Every now and then, researchers at the biggest tech companies drop a bombshell. There was the time Google said its latest quantum chip indicated multiple universes exist. Or when Anthropic gave its AI agent Claudius a snack vending machine to run and it went amok, calling security on people, and insisting it was human. This week, it was OpenAI’s turn to raise our collective eyebrows. OpenAI released on Monday some research that explained how it’s stopping AI models from “scheming.” It’s a prac

Google partners with UK nonprofit to detect and remove nonconsensual intimate images from Search

Google is partnering with the U.K. nonprofit StopNCII to bolster its efforts at combating the spread of nonconsensual intimate images, also known as revenge porn. The search giant will begin using StopNCII’s hashes, which are digital fingerprints of images and videos, to proactively identify and remove non-consensual intimate imagery on Search. StopNCII helps adults prevent their private images from being shared online by creating a unique identifier, or hash, representing their intimate image

Jaguar Smashes Record for the Species’ Longest Recorded Swim, Baffling Scientists

Despite what they say about cats and water, jaguars are powerful swimmers. These predators rarely stray from the rivers and wetlands that permeate their rainforest habitat, and they readily dive in to hunt for prey. Usually, these dips are relatively brief: Until now, the farthest jaguar swim on record was just 656 feet (200 meters). But now, scientists have observed a jaguar in Brazil smashing that record as if they were a feline Michael Phelps, with the big cat seemingly paddling for more tha

SystemBC malware turns infected VPS systems into proxy highway

The operators of the SystemBC proxy botnet are hunting for vulnerable commercial virtual private servers (VPS) and maintain an average of 1,500 bots every day that provide a highway for malicious traffic. Compromised servers are located all over the world and have at least one unpatched critical vulnerability, some of them being plagued by tens of security issues. SystemBC has been around since at least 2019 and has been used by various threat actors, including several ransomware gangs, to del

The Download: AI-designed viruses, and bad news for the hydrogen industry

Artificial intelligence can draw cat pictures and write emails. Now the same technology can compose a working genome. A research team in California says it used AI to propose new genetic codes for viruses—and managed to get several of them to replicate and kill bacteria. The work, described in a preprint paper, has the potential to create new treatments and accelerate research into artificially engineered cells. But experts believe it is also an “impressive first step” toward AI-designed l

Condor Technology to Fly "Cuzco" RISC-V CPU into the Datacenter

Once a hyperscaler or a cloud builder gets big enough, it can afford to design custom compute engines that more precisely match its needs. It is not clear that the companies that make custom CPUs and XPUs are saving money, but they are certainly gaining control and that is worth something. Arm made a push based on the power-efficient nature its architecture, and Nvidia has become a key player in AI with its powerful GPUs and now its “Grace” Arm server CPUs. A reinvigorated AMD has given system

Lawnchair isn’t perfect, but it’s the best free Nova Launcher alternative right now

Andy Walker / Android Authority Nova Launcher users have been left high and dry following the devastating news that it will no longer receive updates. You can continue using the launcher until it becomes unusable — many of our readers plan to do just that, according to a recent survey — but it’s wise to have a backup plan in mind. Many developers are now courting disgruntled Nova users with their alternatives, but one app in particular really stands out for me: Lawnchair. With Nova’s future in

Cloudflare CEO’s ‘Frighteningly Likely’ Forecast for How AI Will Ruin the Internet

Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince is the latest tech executive to ring the warning bells for a near-term dystopian AI scenario. Speaking to WIRED’s Big Interview Podcast on Tuesday, Prince said that he thinks the days of search engines being “the dominant interface of the web” are already long gone. “Now, if you run a search, it gives you back an answer at the top of the page. It doesn’t give you a treasure map. Instead, it provides you with what they call an AI Overview, which has taken a whole b

Google’s experimental Windows app is better than Microsoft’s built-in search

Google has so many products that it can be near-impossible to keep track. And yet, the company has rarely created desktop apps to go with those services. There are a handful, like Drive and Quick Share, but the company's flagship product is only now coming to the desktop. The new Google app for Windows is available now, allowing you to search the web, Google Drive, and even your local files. The company stresses that the new app is experimental—it's limited to personal Google accounts, and you
