OpenAI's ChatGPT Agent Clicks "I Am Not a Robot" Button Without a Wink of Irony

futurism.com Unknown 2025-08-07 06:11:54

Amid the launch of OpenAI's new ChatGPT Agent, Redditors found something odd: that the AI will gladly click its way through a test meant to distinguish between humans and robots — by identifying itself as the former. Spotted by Ars Technica, this hilarious — if not foreboding — occurrence was documented on the r/OpenAI subreddit, where a user posted screenshots of ChatGPT Agent "causally clicking the 'I am not a robot' button.'"

An EPA rule change threatens to gut US climate regulations

technologyreview.com Casey Crownhart 2025-08-07 08:29:49

The proposed rule will go up for public comment, and the agency will then take that feedback and come up with a final version. It’ll almost certainly get hit with legal challenges and will likely wind up in front of the Supreme Court. One note here is that the EPA makes a mostly legal argument in the proposed rule reversal rather than focusing on going after the science of climate change, says Madison Condon, an associate law professor at Boston University.

A new, faster-paced game mode is coming to Apex Legends on August 5

The next season of Apex Legends kicks off on August 5, and it will see the arrival of a new, permanent game mode. Respawn says it built Wildcard as a faster-paced alternative to the core battle royale mode. For instance, when you take out an enemy, they won't leave behind a death box. Instead, their loot will scatter around them, making it easier for you to spot and pick up an item you need or want. Another big difference here is legend stacking.

Big Tech Killed the Golden Age of Programming The reason it's so hard to get a programming job right now is because Big Tech caused it. It's not an accident. It's not the result of regular cycles of employment or the economy. For years, companies like Google, Facebook/Meta, and Amazon hired too many developers. They knew they were hiring too many developers, but they did it anyway because of corporate greed. They wanted to control the talent pool. They wanted to make as much money as possible,

Physicists Catch ‘Ghost Particles’ Bouncing Off Matter in Record-Breaking Experiment

Neutrinos are everywhere. About 100 trillion neutrinos pass through our bodies every second, but they’re so weakly interacting we never notice them. It’s this spooky feature of neutrinos that earned them the nickname “ghost particles.” Antineutrinos, their antimatter counterpart, are also everywhere. Both are notoriously difficult to detect, but physicists are getting better at circumventing their ghostly tendencies, as a recent record-setting measurement demonstrates. When a low-energy neutrin
