The long-awaited release of OpenAI's GPT-5 has gone over with a wet thud. Though the private sector continues to dump billions into artificial intelligence development, hoping for exponential gains, the research community isn't convinced. Speaking to The New Yorker, Gary Marcus, a neural scientist and longtime critic of OpenAI, said what many have been coming to suspect: despite years of development at a staggering cost, AI doesn't seem to be getting much better.

The Trump Administration’s Department of Government Efficiency has been a project largely defined by ever-diminishing expectations. At the outset of DOGE’s journey, its chief operator, Elon Musk, famously claimed, in a bout of wild optimism, that he hoped to cut “at least” $2 trillion out of the federal budget. Not long after the election, Musk reduced his ambitions to $1 trillion. Throughout the first few months of Trump’s second term, DOGE claimed to be saving Americans billions, but analyses

Leaky Ice Dam Prompts Evacuations in Alaska as Record Floods Loom

Experts expect the likely record-breaking event to peak today, and officials have asked residents in parts of the city and borough to evacuate. The flood doesn’t come as a surprise.
