This Wearable Isn't Telepathic, but It Knows What You Want to Say

Telepathy is, until proven otherwise, still science fiction. But a new wearable announced this week aims to bring the world closer to silent communication, though it's more about using brain signals than the X-Men superpower. Alterego, developed by the MIT Media Lab, is a peripheral neural interface that allows us to converse with machines, artificial intelligence assistants and humans, without using our voice or externally observable movements. We first saw the Alterego as a prototype in 2018

Tucker Carlson asks Sam Altman if an OpenAI employee was murdered ‘on your orders’

theverge.com Richard Lawler 2025-10-01 03:19:28

Carlson: “…he was definitely murdered, I think… there were signs of a struggle, of course. The surveillance camera, the wires had been cut. He had just ordered take-out food, come back from a vacation with his friends on Catalina Island. No indication at all that he was suicidal. No note and no behavior. He had just spoken to a family member on the phone. And then he’s found dead with blood in multiple rooms. So that’s impossible. Seems really obvious he was murdered. Have you talked to the aut

It’s Getting Ugly: Sam Altman Seeks Texts From Shivon Zilis, Elon Musk’s Employee/Mother of His Child

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-10-01 08:00:59

Last year, Elon Musk sued his rival Sam Altman’s company, tech superstar OpenAI. In his lawsuit, Musk claimed that the company had violated federal racketeering laws because, having once promised to stay a nonprofit research lab, had since converted itself into a for-profit company. Musk, who initially poured tens of millions of dollars into the startup, claims he was deceived. OpenAI and Altman have since countered that Musk also wanted OpenAI to become a for-profit venture.

The trillions of microbes that live in your gut are likened to "little pets living inside your intestinal tract." Or at least, that's how Gail Cresci, a microbiome expert at the Cleveland Clinic, describes it. But they do far more than help digest food.

In the early morning hours of Thursday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk claimed that an OpenAI whistleblower named Suchir Balaji, who passed away last year, was actually killed. "He was murdered," Musk posted, in reference to Balaji's death. The late 26-year-old software engineer had gone to the New York Times months before his passing, decrying what he deemed to be illegal copyright violations by his employer.

‘He Was Murdered’: Elon Musk Jumps Into Controversy Over OpenAI Whistleblower

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-10-03 21:10:03

Tucker Carlson published a new interview with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman on Wednesday in which the two men discussed some pretty dark topics. Altman also talked about his beef with Elon Musk, and it wasn’t long before the Tesla CEO chimed in on X with his own thoughts, definitively claiming that a whistleblower at OpenAI “was murdered,” in a tweet Thursday. During the episode, Carlson and Altman talk about Suchir Balaji, a researcher at OpenAI who died on Nov. 26, 2024. Balaji had accused OpenAI of

Two ways Apple is (wisely) being inclusive about its latest health features

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-10-05 03:15:15

Apple is sometimes accused of deliberately withholding new features from older devices for no good reason. For example, eyebrows were raised when dual capture video recording was restricted to the iPhone 17 when the same feature has been supported by third-party apps all the way back to the iPhone 11, so is clearly nothing to do with hardware capabilities. When it comes to the latest health features, however, the company is wisely taking a far more inclusive approach … Hypertension alerts The
