Samsung’s New Foldables Give the Keys to Google AI and Say, ‘Here, You Drive.’

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-08-13 01:17:47

Samsung’s newest generation of Fold and Flip folding phones is here, and this year, it has quite a bit to parade around. The Galaxy Fold 7, for example, is hella thin and almost as slim as a Galaxy S25 Ultra when it’s folded up, while the Galaxy Z Flip 7 has a bigger front-facing screen that spans 4.1 inches. However much the foldables have going on in the hardware department, there’s even more going on inside with AI. The only difference is that Samsung has almost nothing to do with those AI de

An OpenAI Web Browser Is Imminent, Report Says. That Would Really Shake Up the Web

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-08-13 00:41:18

OpenAI is working on an AI-powered web browser that could make its debut in the coming weeks, according to a report from Reuters on Wednesday. That would be a major incursion by OpenAI, which makes the dominant AI chatbot, ChatGPT, into a realm where Google is top dog. Google Chrome is the world's most popular web browser, with a global market share of 68%, according to Statista. Google also has its own generative AI technology, called Gemini, which it has been integrating across its range of

ChatGPT made up a product feature out of thin air, so this company created it

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-08-13 01:59:25

On Monday, sheet music platform Soundslice says it developed a new feature after discovering that ChatGPT was incorrectly telling users the service could import ASCII tablature—a text-based guitar notation format the company had never supported. The incident reportedly marks what might be the first case of a business building functionality in direct response to an AI model's confabulation. Typically, Soundslice digitizes sheet music from photos or PDFs and syncs the notation with audio or video

California lawmaker behind SB 1047 reignites push for mandated AI safety reports

California State Senator Scott Wiener on Wednesday introduced new amendments to his latest bill, SB 53, that would require the world’s largest AI companies to publish safety and security protocols and issue reports when safety incidents occur. If signed into law, California would be the first state to impose meaningful transparency requirements onto leading AI developers, likely including OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and xAI.

If you want a job at McDonald’s today, there’s a good chance you'll have to talk to Olivia. Olivia is not, in fact, a human being, but instead an AI chatbot that screens applicants, asks for their contact information and résumé, directs them to a personality test, and occasionally makes them “go insane” by repeatedly misunderstanding their most basic questions.

Configuring Split Horizon DNS with Pi-Hole and Tailscale

I've long had some form of VPN for my devices to use when I'm out and about. Although I used to run OpenVPN, I moved to Tailscale a little while back. Tailscale builds a mesh network using Wireguard protocol and so is able to connect and run quite a bit faster than OpenVPN. Side note: for those wondering, Tailscale is Canadian and can't see the content of connections (although if you're worried about this it's also possible to self-host using Headscale).

A New Kind of AI Model Lets Data Owners Take Control

A new kind of large language model, developed by researchers at the Allen Institute for AI (Ai2), makes it possible to control how training data is used even after a model has been built. The new model, called FlexOlmo, could challenge the current industry paradigm of big artificial intelligence companies slurping up data from the web, books, and other sources—often with little regard for ownership—and then owning the resulting models entirely.

Granted, there’s an argument to be made that the moratorium’s defeat was highly contingent. Blackburn appears to have been motivated almost entirely by concerns about children’s online safety and the rights of country musicians to control their own likenesses; state lawmakers, meanwhile, were affronted by the federal government’s attempt to defang legislation that they had already passed.
