OpenAI Tries to Train AI Not to Deceive Users, Realizes It's Instead Teaching It How to Deceive Them While Covering Its Tracks

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-20 12:15:46

OpenAI researchers tried to train the company's AI to stop "scheming" — a term the company defines as meaning "when an AI behaves one way on the surface while hiding its true goals" — but their efforts backfired in an ominous way. In reality, the team found, they were unintentionally teaching the AI how to more effectively deceive humans by covering its tracks. "A major failure mode of attempting to 'train out' scheming is simply teaching the model to scheme more carefully and covertly," OpenA

Leader of Albania Pelted With Trash for Appointing AI-Powered Minister to Cabinet

The world's first AI government official is going about as well as anyone could expect. Yesterday, the virtual assistant "Diella" made its "inaugural address" to the Albanian parliament. Maybe unsurprisingly, the software — which had been appointed Minister for Public Procurements last week by prime minister Edi Rama — was met with fury by certain officials.

Meta's Disastrous Smart Glasses Demo Even Worse Than We Thought

Mark Zuckerberg's MetaConnect 2025 keynote on Wednesday quickly turned into a humiliating experience. The company's demos of its new artificial intelligence-powered smart glasses failed repeatedly, causing Zuckerberg to stammer his way through awkward silences. "This is, uh... it happens," the CEO stammered after his smart glasses refused to accept a WhatsApp video call on stage. "Let's try it again, I keep messing this up."

Could T-Mobile and other big carriers be heading toward an online-only future?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-20 10:00:59

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority It’s no secret that customer service has been slowly but surely declining as the big three carriers look to cut costs, but in-store support has arguably taken the sharpest hit. All three carriers have closed at least some of their locations and made moves to reduce their reliance on third-party stores, all while raising sales goals to nearly unachievable levels. The result has been widespread burnout and high turnover. It’s clear that carriers now view retail

It’s me, I’m the audience for the iPhone Air

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-20 12:00:48

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority When Apple announced the iPhone Air, most people saw compromises. Thinner means less battery. A single camera instead of the multi-camera Pro kit we’re all used to. A phone that, without a doubt, looks more like a fashion statement than a power user’s dream. But when I saw it, I saw something I don’t usually feel with new phones anymore. A minimalist phone that serves my essential needs and nothing more. As a millennial with Gen Z tendencies, it’s pretty clear

With iPhone Air, Apple reintroduced the MagSafe battery pack. It’s $99, and optimized specifically for iPhone Air. It’s rather slim, though it’s rather weak in capacity – making Qi2 alternatives all the more interesting. We’ll be delving into the top options on the market, just in case you want a MagSafe battery for your iPhone without spending $99, or aren’t buying the iPhone Air.

What's the limit of what can be in a TXT record? Some places say 255 bytes. They are wrong. Within a TXT record there are multiple character-strings (RFC 1035 section 3.3.14) and those are limited in length (because a single byte is used for their length), however there can be many of them. The actual limit is limited by the size of the DNS payload, which for UDP is these days around 1232 bytes. That is obviously quite low.

When Non-Avian Dinosaurs Went Extinct, the Earth Changed—Literally. Scientists Think They Finally Know Why
