In early 2023, David Petrou, a distinguished engineer and a founding member of both Google Goggles and Google Glass, made a surprising move. After more than 17 years at the company, he departed to launch his own startup. “I was seeing how fast technology was changing, and I felt there are certain ideas that are best explored in the context of a startup,” Petrou told TechCrunch. His ultimate idea was to build Continua, a consumer-facing company that uses AI agents to enhance collaboration and i

Looking at This Subreddit May Convince You That AI Was a Huge Mistake

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-29 08:44:31

Last week, OpenAI's most loyal customers revolted after the company replaced all of its preceding AI models with its newly-released GPT-5 model. Their pleading proved convincing enough for OpenAI to reverse course, with CEO Sam Altman announcing that the company's GPT-4o model would be reinstated. To say that users have become emotionally attached to OpenAI's "sycophantic" AI models would be vast understatement. Experts have warned of an epidemic of "AI psychosis," with some users experiencing

US govt seizes $1 million in crypto from BlackSuit ransomware gang

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-11-29 09:18:34

The U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) seized cryptocurrency and digital assets worth $1,091,453 at the time of confiscation, on January 9, 2024, from the BlackSuit ransomware gang. The authorities tracked the crypto as the cybercriminals moved it repeatedly across virtual currency exchange accounts, depositing and withdrawing it to obfuscate the trace.

Can modern LLMs count the number of b's in "blueberry"?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-29 09:12:02

Last week, OpenAI announced and released GPT-5, and the common consensus both inside the AI community and outside is that the new LLM did not live up to the hype. Bluesky — whose community is skeptical at-best of generative AI in all its forms — began putting the model through its paces: Michael Paulauski asked GPT-5 through the ChatGPT app interface “how many b’s are there in blueberry?”.
