Mark Zuckerberg, chief executive officer of Meta Platforms Inc., wears a pair of Meta Ray-Ban Display AI glasses during the Meta Connect event in Menlo Park, California, US, on Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2025. When it comes to the new $799 Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses, it's the device's accompanying fuzzy, gray wristband that truly dazzles. I was able to try out Meta's next-generation smart glasses that the social media company announced Wednesday at its annual Connect event. These are the first gla

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

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

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. The Chinese AI company DeepSeek released a chatbot earlier this year called R1, which drew a huge amount of attention. Most of it focused on the fact that a relatively small and unknown company said it had built a chatbot that rivaled the performance of those from the world’s most famous AI companies, but using a fraction of the computer power and cost.
