Allan Brooks, a 47-year-old corporate recruiter, spent three weeks and 300 hours convinced he'd discovered mathematical formulas that could crack encryption and build levitation machines. According to a New York Times investigation, his million-word conversation history with an AI chatbot reveals a troubling pattern: More than 50 times, Brooks asked the bot to check if his false ideas were real. More than 50 times, it assured him they were. Brooks isn't alone. Futurism reported on a woman whose

We've rounded up a list of exclusive discounts that educators can snag with their teacher credentials—so you can spend a little less time stressing out over full-price dry-erase markers and a little more time stressing about the kid who learned to swear over the summer.

The AI Industry Has a Huge "Credit Card Debt" Issue

Earlier this month, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the quiet part out loud, telling reporters that he believes we're in a "phase where investors as a whole are overexcited about AI." Simmering concerns about a growing AI bubble — a word repeatedly invoked by Altman himself during the appearance — have gripped the industry, with spooked investors triggering a major tech sell-off in the wake of the CEO's remarks. Also fueling these fears was an MIT investigation that found a staggering 95 percent of

Huge Parts of the North Sea Seabed Are Upside Down, New Study Reveals

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-11-05 16:25:03

In the world of stratigraphy, or rock layers, superficial sediments are usually younger than the deeper ones they settle upon. The North Sea, however, has revealed giant mounds of sand that defy this geological principle on a scale scientists have never seen before. Researchers from Norway and the UK have identified hundreds of sand bodies under the North Sea that seem to have sunk deeper into the ocean’s crust, swapping places with older layers, which floated to the top of the sand structures.

Most Air Purifiers Haven’t Been Tested on Humans. That’s a Problem

gizmodo.com Amiran Baduashvili 2025-11-06 02:50:51

Portable air cleaners aimed at curbing indoor spread of infections are rarely tested for how well they protect people—and very few studies evaluate their potentially harmful effects. That’s the upshot of a detailed review of nearly 700 studies that we co-authored in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine. Many respiratory viruses, such as covid-19 and influenza, can spread through indoor air. Technologies such as HEPA filters, ultraviolet light, and special ventilation designs—collectively kno
