Meta’s AI Recruiting Campaign Finds a New Target

wired.com Kylie Robison 2025-12-25 14:10:42

Mark Zuckerberg is on a warpath to recruit top talent in the AI field for his newly formed Meta Superintelligence Labs. After trying to gut OpenAI (and successfully poaching several top researchers), he appears to have set his sights on his next target. More than a dozen people at Mira Murati’s 50-person startup, Thinking Machines Lab, have been approached or received offers from the tech giant. (Murati, for those who don’t remember, was previously the chief technology officer at OpenAI.) One o

Meta's AI spending spree is Wall Street's focus in second-quarter earnings

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta Platforms Inc., arrives for the Meta Connect event in Menlo Park, California, on Sept. 25, 2024. Meanwhile, revenue growth in the second quarter likely slowed to 15%, down from 22% a year earlier, according to LSEG. It would be the slowest rate of expansion for the company since early 2023, and analysts are expecting lower levels of growth in the coming quarters.

Exclusive: Galaxy S26 series could represent a major shake-up in Samsung’s flagship lineup

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-26 16:30:50

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR The Galaxy S26 series could not only ditch the Plus model, but could also kill the standard model. Evidence found in an internal One UI 8 build suggests a lineup of the Galaxy S26 Pro, Galaxy S26 Edge, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. That means Samsung may rename the base model to “Pro” and replace the “Plus” model with Edge. Samsung’s next major release is the Galaxy S26 series, with the launch of its latest foldables now behind it. Earlier reports suggested S

Trump’s Anti-Bias AI Order Is Just More Bias

wired.com Steven Levy 2025-12-24 11:00:00

On November 2, 2022, I attended a Google AI event in New York City. One of the themes was responsible AI. As I listened to executives talk about how they aligned their technology with human values, I realized that the malleability of AI models was a double-edged sword. Models could be tweaked to, say, minimize biases, but also to enforce a specific point of view. Governments could demand manipulation to censor unwelcome facts and promote propaganda. I envisioned this as something that an authori

As The Verge's Tom Warren first reported, GPT-5 is being prepared for an August release. GPT-5 is believed to be the "unified" model, which means it combines the breakthroughs from the reasoning and multi-modal models, such as o3 and 4o respectively.

Scientists Teach AI to Think About the Roman Empire

Historians don't know when the Ancient Roman text "Res Gestae Divi Augusti," a chronicle of Emperor Augustus's deeds, was first written, since these kind of epigraphs tend to not contain any written dates. Enter our hero Aeneas — not the mythological forefather of Rome, but a generative AI model that's been trained on Ancient Roman texts. According to The New York Times, the Aeneas AI pinpointed the date of the Augustus epigraph to around 15 CE, soon after his death in 14 CE. Aeneas, developed
