Here’s how to get started and what to expect. Models and Macs First, gpt-oss comes in two flavors: gpt-oss-20b and gpt-oss-120b.

Encryption Made for Police and Military Radios May Be Easily Cracked

wired.com Kim Zetter 2025-12-06 23:09:07

Two years ago, researchers in the Netherlands discovered an intentional backdoor in an encryption algorithm baked into radios used by critical infrastructure–as well as police, intelligence agencies, and military forces around the world–that made any communication secured with the algorithm vulnerable to eavesdropping. When the researchers publicly disclosed the issue in 2023, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), which developed the algorithm, advised anyone using it for

OpenAI launches new GPT-5 model for all ChatGPT users

cnbc.com Ashley Capoot 2025-12-07 04:44:36

"GPT-5 has been trained to recognize when a task can't be finished, avoid speculation and can explain limitations more clearly, which reduces unsupported claims compared to prior models," said Michelle Pokrass, a post-training lead at OpenAI. Instead of outright refusing to answer users' questions if they are potentially risky, GPT-5 will use "safe completions," OpenAI said. This means the model will give high-level responses within safety constraints that can't be used to cause harm. OpenAI s

GPT-5 is here. Now what?

technologyreview.com Grace Huckins 2025-12-07 04:00:00

Whereas o1 was a major technological advancement, GPT-5 is, above all else, a refined product. During a press briefing, Sam Altman compared GPT-5 to Apple’s Retina displays, and it’s an apt analogy, though perhaps not in the way that he intended. Much like an unprecedentedly crisp screen, GPT-5 will furnish a more pleasant and seamless user experience. That’s not nothing, but it falls far short of the transformative AI future that Altman has spent much of the past year hyping. In the briefing, A

“We Miss All the Trains to Get Rich”: The Real Story of Crypto and the Black Community

I’ve been at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) Annual Convention in Cleveland since August 6.

The Best Hearing Aids of 2025, Tested and Reviewed

wired.com Christopher Null 2025-12-07 18:00:00

How much money should you expect to spend on a hearing aid? The answer depends primarily on whether you’re looking into over-the-counter or prescription hearing aids. Unsurprisingly, the latter is a wallet guzzler, with average costs between $2,000 to $8,000. But OTCs can ring up quite a tab in their own right, and our most highly rated devices will still run you about $800 to $2,000 a pair.

To provide more privacy to crypto account owners, a mixer will let people toss their crypto into a large pool, where it is "mixed" with other people's crypto.
