I Am An AI Hater

news.ycombinator.com Moser'S Frame Shop 2025-12-05 18:10:37

I am an AI hater. This is considered rude, but I do not care, because I am a hater. To speak politely about AI, you put disclaimers before criticism: of course I’m not against it entirely; perhaps in a few years when; maybe for other purposes, but. You are supposed to debate how and when it should be used. You are supposed to take for granted that it must be useful somewhere, to someone, for something, eventually. People who are rich and smart and respected are saying so, and it would be arroga

OpenAI co-founder calls for AI labs to safety-test rival models

techcrunch.com Maxwell Zeff 2025-12-05 18:14:01

OpenAI and Anthropic, two of the world’s leading AI labs, briefly opened up their closely guarded AI models to allow for joint safety testing — a rare cross-lab collaboration at a time of fierce competition. The effort aimed to surface blind spots in each company’s internal evaluations and demonstrate how leading AI companies can work together on safety and alignment work in the future. In an interview with TechCrunch, OpenAI co-founder Wojciech Zaremba said this kind of collaboration is increa

The AI Researchers That Mark Zuckerberg Lured to Work for Him With Huge Payments Are Already Quitting for Mysterious Reasons

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-05 22:06:19

Even in the money-soaked world of AI, the hiring efforts of Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg stood out this year as he enticed top machine learning researchers with payments reportedly reaching up to $1 billion to defect from their employers and come work for him instead. The overtures weren't always successful; in one embarrassing case, an individual was offered 10-figures to work at Meta's so-called Superintelligence initiative — but turned it down to stay at Thinking Machines Lab, a venture star

Our First Look at Nicolas Cage’s Jesus Horror Movie Is 20 Seconds of Agony

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-12-05 23:00:13

Nicolas Cage has become his own genre at this point, and for every risky triumph (Longlegs, Dream Scenario, Mandy) or intriguing lurch into the edgier fringes of the mainstream (Renfield, the upcoming Spider-Noir series), there have been several misfires. It remains to be seen where The Carpenter’s Son will fall, but the premise is bonkers enough to make us pay attention. Yes, this is the Jesus horror movie, and the first teaser is here. It’s short, but it’s still extremely unnerving. We first

Pixel 10’s Tensor G5 deep dive: All the info Google didn’t tell us about its new chip

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-06 04:30:30

Tensor is the Pixel’s secret sauce, empowering the series with AI smarts you can’t find elsewhere and solid-enough performance and battery life to last the day. However, Google has been quieter than in previous years about exactly what went into the Tensor G5 inside the Pixel 10 series. The silence doesn’t bode well; companies usually scream their subtlest of improvements from the rooftops. Still, with Pixel 10 in hand, I’ve managed to discern the good and the bad of the Tensor G5’s new feature

Google to verify all Android devs to protect users from malware

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-12-05 05:23:46

Google is introducing a new defense for Android called ‘Developer Verification’ to block malware installations from sideloaded apps sourced from outside the official Google Play app store. For apps on Google Play, there was already a requirement for publishers to provide a D-U-N-S (Data Universal Numbering System) number, introduced on August 31, 2023. Google says this has had a notable effect in reducing malware on the platform. However, the system didn’t apply to the vast developer ecosystem

Meta’s Already Bleeding AI Talent Two Months Into Hiring Spree

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg wants to be the first to achieve AI superintelligence, a type of artificial intelligence that is smarter than the average human, and a concept that some experts are still highly skeptical. To do so, Zuckerberg announced the formation of Meta Superintelligence Labs in late June, a team dedicated to helping AI catch up to and beat its peers in the AI race. With that, he sparked a multi-million dollar hiring frenzy. Meta began poaching talent from competitors, the main ta

Some investors are not happy that Intel agreed to sell the US a 10 percent stake in the company after Donald Trump attacked Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan with a demand to resign. After Intel accepted the deal at a meeting with the president, it alarmed some investors when Trump boasted that his pressure campaign worked, claiming Tan "walked in wanting to keep his job, and he ended up giving us $10 billion for the United States."

With Dish Network owner EchoStar selling $23 billion in valuable spectrum to AT&T, any pretense that the TV provider will become a serious wireless competitor is dead. But the project was always doomed to fail, and despite plenty of assurances by the Trump administration and other companies involved, the very obvious writing was always on the wall.
