Journalists Just Roasted Sam Altman To His Face

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman got a taste of his own medicine when he went on the New York Times' turf and tried to twist the newspaper's copyright lawsuit against it. As flagged by PG Gamer, the live recording of the NYT's "Hard Fork" podcast — hosted by journalists Kevin Roose and Casey Newton, and featuring as guests Altman and OpenAI's chief operating officer Brad Lightcap — was testy from its start. Almost immediately upon sitting down on the "Hard Fork" stage, the CEO came out punching. "Are yo

These are the 15 best open source Android games you need to download

Andy Walker / Android Authority I’ve previously detailed a list of open source Android apps I always install on my phones, old or new. While all those apps add utility to my handsets, few of them provide pure entertainment. That’s where open source Android games come into play. Open source games might seem counterintuitive, but their transparency and alterability are part of their allure. They allow users to view their source code up and down or enjoy it as they are. Some have even spawned mod

ChatGPT Deep Research tests new connectors for more context

ChatGPT Deep Research, which is an AI research tool to automate research, is getting support for new connectors (integrations), including Slack. Deep Research is an AI agent that automates research for you. You just need to give it a brief prompt with all the necessary details, and it will crawl the internet to write a research paper. As spotted by Tibor on X, ChatGPT has references to a new connector called 'Slack.' Once integrated, ChatGPT can crawl your Slack messages and use them in the c

Musk backs Sen. Paul's criticism of Trump's megabill in first comment since it passed

Tesla CEO Elon Musk speaks alongside U.S. President Donald Trump to reporters in the Oval Office of the White House on May 30, 2025 in Washington, DC. Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who bombarded President Donald Trump's signature spending bill for weeks, on Friday made his first comments since the legislation passed. Musk backed a post on X by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who said the bill's budget "explodes the deficit" and continues a pattern of "short-term politicking over long-term sustainability." CNBC

Amazon’s Best Portable Monitor Is Nearly 50% Off, Feels Like Prime Day Already Started

Just because you’re a work-from-home employee does not mean you need to be working specifically from home. You can feasibly work from anywhere that has an internet connection if you’d be so inclined. What stops me from getting out more often is that I don’t find myself as productive as when I’m at my desk at home. I’ve built a pretty robust workspace for myself with three large monitors so I can see everything I’m working on at once. When tied to just my laptop screen, I feel restrained. That is

This is not a tattoo robot

I walked into Blackdot’s tattoo studio in Austin’s east side on a sweltering May afternoon. After shaking my sweat-soaked hand, founder and CEO Joel Pennington led me up into an office building and opened the door to a small, three-room space. Critics have unflatteringly compared the studio to a sterile hospital room — a comparison not entirely without merit. In a corner room, the machine I had come here to see loomed: a humming, fridge-sized device reminiscent of an old X-ray unit. Blackdot cal

OpenAI Hits the Panic Button

This week, the world’s most important artificial intelligence company was closed. OpenAI gave its entire staff a week off to “recharge,” a seemingly generous perk for a workforce relentlessly pushing toward building a world-changing technology. But this was not a wellness initiative. It was a strategic retreat in the middle of a brutal, high-stakes war for talent that is now threatening to shatter the company’s carefully crafted identity. The enemy is Meta Platforms, the social media empire th

OpenAI Warns You Not to Buy Its Fake Stock

OpenAI has a message for anyone who thinks they’re about to cash in on the AI boom by buying a new “OpenAI token” on Robinhood: Don’t. But in a chaotic turn, Elon Musk just suggested that even the company’s real equity might be an illusion. The maker of ChatGPT, in a rare public warning posted on X (formerly Twitter), disavowed any involvement with crypto-like financial products claiming to offer a piece of its business. “These ‘OpenAI tokens’ are not OpenAI equity,” the company wrote. “We did

Judge Rules That Newspaper Is Allowed to Search Through Users' ChatGPT Logs

Amid its long-running copyright infringement lawsuit against OpenAI, the paper of record will soon have access to all of OpenAI's user archives — including the stuff that was deleted. As Ars Technica reports, the federal judge presiding over the lawsuit by the New York Times against OpenAI has granted the newspaper and its co-plaintiffs, the New York Daily News and the Center for Investigative Reporting, access to the AI company's logs to see exactly how much copyright was infringed. In its pr

Owning a Piece of ChatGPT Was Already Messy. Then Elon Musk Made It Weirder

OpenAI has a message for anyone who thinks they’re about to cash in on the AI boom by buying a new “OpenAI token” on Robinhood: Don’t.

‘Dandadan’ Season 2’s New Opening Puts You Right in the Stylish Action

Dan Da Dan season two is finally streaming on Crunchyroll, Netflix, and Hulu, and with it comes new anime opening and outro themes that are bound to take the anime world by storm. Last year, Dan Da Dan became the Johnny-come-lately anime on every fan’s lips. The series, created by Yukinobu Tatsu, follows Okarun and Momo Ayase, two high schoolers who encounter paranormal misadventures with aliens and yokai as they journey to find Okarun’s missing balls. It’s a long story. The series’ acclaim is

A Leading Indicator Has Emerged Suggesting That the AI Industry Is Cooked

In the world of cultural commentary, there are plenty of benchmarks used to determine when a trend is on its deathbed. From the classic shark-jumping episode of "Happy Days" to the adoption of Facebook by grandparents the world around, those with their ears to the ground can spot when a craze is on its way out. In that vein, the news that Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg is spending hundreds of millions of dollars to build supercharged AI sure strikes us as bad news for that industry. Let'

Opening up ‘Zero-Knowledge Proof’ technology

Today, we open sourced our Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) libraries, fulfilling a promise and building on our partnership with Sparkasse to support EU age assurance. Open sourcing these powerful cryptographic tools will make it much easier for private and public sector developers to build their own privacy-enhancing applications and digital ID solutions, meeting an urgent need. In layperson’s terms, ZKP makes it possible for people to prove that something about them is true without exchanging any

OpenAI Says It's Hired a Forensic Psychiatrist as Its Users Keep Sliding Into Mental Health Crises

Among the strangest twists in the rise of AI has been growing evidence that it's negatively impacting the mental health of users, with some even developing severe delusions after becoming obsessed with the chatbot. One intriguing detail from our most recent story about this disturbing trend is OpenAI's response: it says it's hired a full-time clinical psychiatrist with a background in forensic psychiatry to help research the effects of its AI products on users' mental health. It's also consulti

Postcard is now open source

In 2022, I launched Postcard as a personal website + newsletter. I had deleted social media, and wanted a way to stay in touch with friends via email. It powers my personal website, philipithomas.com, where I've published monthly "What I'm up to" every month since. Postcard's launch was well-received and thousands of people signed up. Today, many people continue to use and maintain their Postcard sites. Revenue is modest - I make dozens of dollars per month on it. But, I'm happy to maintain it

OpenAI disavows online broker Robinhood's sale of 'OpenAI tokens'

'We did not partner with Robinhood, were not involved in this and do not endorse it.' OpenAI has condemned online brokerage firm Robinhood's sale of "OpenAI tokens," saying they will not give consumers stock in the company. "We did not partner with Robinhood, were not involved in this, and do not endorse it," the company said in a post on X, adding that the tokens are not equity and that it did not give approval for any transfer. The statement addresses a recent move by Robinhood to provide Eu

AI Is Not in the Memo, but It Haunts Every Layoff at Xbox

In the new AI economy, it seems no job is safe, not even at a thriving business. Microsoft’s Xbox division is a case in point. Last quarter, its revenue soared by 8% year over year. And yet, the division is now at the center of the tech giant’s largest wave of layoffs since 2023, with thousands of its employees among the 9,000 jobs cut by Microsoft on Wednesday. In a memo sent to his shell-shocked employees and reviewed by Gizmodo, Microsoft’s head of gaming, Phil Spencer, performed a mastercla

OpenAI condemns Robinhood’s ‘OpenAI tokens’

OpenAI wants to make clear that Robinhood’s sale of “OpenAI tokens” will not give everyday consumers equity — or stock — in OpenAI, the company said in a post from its official newsroom account on X. OpenAI says it does not endorse Robinhood’s effort, nor was it involved in facilitating the token sale. “These ‘OpenAI tokens’ are not OpenAI equity,” said OpenAI’s newsroom account. “We did not partner with Robinhood, were not involved in this, and do not endorse it. Any transfer of OpenAI equity

Xbox hit hard with layoffs: from canceled games to a shuttered studio

On July 2nd, Microsoft announced sweeping layoffs affecting as many as 9,000 employees, and they had a big impact on the company’s Xbox studios. Microsoft canceled Perfect Dark from The Initiative and closed the studio. Rare’s Everwild, announced in 2019, was canceled, too. And Forza Motorsport developer Turn 10 Studios will lose more than 70 employees. “We must make choices now for continued success in future years and a key part of that strategy is the discipline to prioritize the strongest o

OpenAI says Robinhood's tokens aren't equity in the company

OpenAI is distancing itself from Robinhood 's latest crypto push after the trading platform began offering tokenized shares of OpenAI and SpaceX to users in Europe. "These 'OpenAI tokens' are not OpenAI equity," OpenAI wrote on X. "We did not partner with Robinhood, were not involved in this, and do not endorse it." The company said that "any transfer of OpenAI equity requires our approval — we did not approve any transfer," and warned users to "please be careful." Robinhood announced the lau

Phil Spencer isn’t retiring as the chief of Xbox ‘anytime soon’

Microsoft says that Phil Spencer, Microsoft Gaming CEO and the head of Xbox, isn’t retiring “anytime soon.” The company has responded to rumors of Spencer’s retirement, which have spread online today following Microsoft’s major layoffs. “Phil is not retiring anytime soon,” says Kari Perez, head of Xbox communications, in a statement to The Verge. The denial comes after Call of Duty leaker GhostOfHope claimed “Phil Spencer will be retiring from his role as CEO of Microsoft Gaming after the launc

Behind the Scenes, Sam Altman Is Absolutely Furious

The tug of war for artificial intelligence developers between Meta and OpenAI is devolving into a knock-down, drag-out fight. In an effort to revive his crumbling AI program, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has recently declared open season on OpenAI's staffers. The billionaire tech mogul is said to be hand-selecting AI researchers and developers to build out a "superintelligence" AI lab, offering up to $100 million in sign-on bonuses if they leave OpenAI for a seat at Meta's table. So far, OpenAI has

Sam Altman Slams Meta’s AI Talent Poaching: 'Missionaries Will Beat Mercenaries'

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is hitting back at Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s recent AI talent-poaching spree. In a full-throated response sent to OpenAI researchers Monday evening and obtained by WIRED, Altman made his pitch for why staying at OpenAI is the only answer for those looking to build artificial general intelligence, hinting that the company is evaluating compensation for the entire research organization. He also dismissed Meta’s recruiting efforts, saying what the company is doing could lead

My biggest Z Fold 6 regrets after a year - and what Samsung must fix for the Fold 7

Kerry Wan/ZDNET It's not a hot take to say that Samsung hasn't changed the core design of its Galaxy Z Fold series since day one. While the cover screen has grown over time, the overall candy bar-style form factor has remained mostly untouched. While brands like Honor, Vivo, and Google have released slimmer foldables, Samsung has stuck to steady, incremental upgrades, resulting in a sturdy hinge that holds at almost any angle and polished software for productivity. Also: Samsung offers $1,000

OpenAI Is Shutting Down for a Week

In a bid to retain its staffers amid a Meta poaching spree, OpenAI is giving them a mandatory week-long vacation. According to insiders who spoke to Wired, a cloud of anxiety is lingering over OpenAI's C-suite as leaders scramble to keep staff happy and on their side — a tall order given that employees there often work up to 80 hours a week. Over the past week, Meta has hired at least eight OpenAI researchers to work on its new "superintelligence" team. This "recruiting coup," as the Wall Stre
