At OpenAI, Signs of Crisis Grow Behind the Scenes

OpenAI is still reeling from the disappointing launch of its latest GPT-5 model. It's being pelted with lawsuits from left and right, for alleged crimes like mass copyright infringement and colluding to ice out its competitors. More than ever, it's being criticized for its chatbot's alarming proclivity to not only give dangerous advice, but convince people to actually take it with its beguiling and sycophantic charm — a deeply weird phenomenon that's already led to several alleged deaths.

Microsoft says recent Windows update didn't kill your SSD

Microsoft has found no link between the August 2025 KB5063878 security update and customer reports of failure and data corruption issues affecting solid-state drives (SSDs) and hard disk drives (HDDs). Redmond first told BleepingComputer last week that it is aware of users reporting SSD failures after installing this month's Windows 11 24H2 security update. In a subsequent service alert seen by BleepingComputer, Redmond said that it was unable to reproduce the issue on up-to-date systems and b

Google is killing a defining feature for Android phones soon - and there's one reason why

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET For years, one of the biggest talking points in the Android vs. iOS debate has been freedom of choice -- and nothing summed that up more than sideloading. "But iOS is a walled garden. Apple controls what you can and can't install on your hardware." If I had a dime for every time an Android user said this argument to settle which mobile platform is the best, I'd be lying in a pool of dimes as I type. Also: How to clear your Android phone cache (and greatly improve

Get $70 off Meta Ray-Bans and find discontinued styles - here's how

Jason Hiner/ZDNET Meta Ray-Bans have often been very difficult to find in stock at both retailers and online stores for the past two years -- and they rarely go on sale. But one of the best ways to not only get a 20% discount but also find some of the styles that have been discontinued or are rarely ever in stock is to use the little-known Meta Refurbished AI Glasses online store. I recently ordered a pair of Meta Ray-Bans in the Skylar style with the Shiny Caramel finish with Polar Brown lens

Deploying DeepSeek on 96 H100 GPUs

by: The SGLang Team , May 05, 2025 DeepSeek is a popular open-source large language model (LLM) praised for its strong performance. However, its large size and unique architecture, which uses Multi-head Latent Attention (MLA) and Mixture of Experts (MoE), require an advanced system for efficient serving at scale. In this blog, we explain how we match DeepSeek's inference system performance with SGLang. Our implementation, shown in the figure above, runs on 12 nodes in the Atlas Cloud, each equ

Intel's "Clearwater Forest" Xeon 7 E-Core CPU Will Be a Beast

With AMD having attaining more than 40 percent revenue share and more than 27 percent shipment share in the X86 server CPU market in the first half of 2025, that means two things. First, AMD is selling some big, fat X86 CPUs compared to Intel. It also means that Intel, despite all of its many woes, is getting nearly 60 percent of revenues and north of 72 percent of shipments for X86 server CPU here in 2025. No, that is not the share Intel is used to, but that’s life sometimes. And with the roll

Tesla said it didn't have key data in a fatal crash, then a hacker found it

Years after a Tesla driver using Autopilot plowed into a young Florida couple in 2019, crucial electronic data detailing how the fatal wreck unfolded was missing. The information was key for a wrongful death case the survivor and the victim’s family were building against Tesla, but the company said it didn’t have the data. Then a self-described hacker, enlisted by the plaintiffs to decode the contents of a chip they recovered from the vehicle, found it while sipping a Venti-size hot chocolate a

Not Even $20 Million Would’ve Gotten Ridley Scott to Direct ‘Terminator 3’

There comes a time in a creative’s life when all the qualms one might have had around being brutally honest about their career’s highlights, their missed opportunities, and their happily avoided pitfalls seem to slip away. And joining the fray of old auteur’s saying the darnedest things is Alien director Ridley Scott, who just revealed that he was offered beaucoup bucks to direct Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines—but he turned it down. In an interview with The Guardian, (the outlet for many of

Antarctica Is Unraveling

Seen from space, Antarctica looks so much simpler than the other continents—a great sheet of ice set in contrast to the dark waters of the encircling Southern Ocean. Get closer, though, and you’ll find not a simple cap of frozen water, but an extraordinarily complex interplay between the ocean, sea ice, and ice sheets and shelves. That relationship is in serious peril. A new paper in the journal Nature catalogs how several “abrupt changes,” like the precipitous loss of sea ice over the last dec

‘House of the Dragon’ Star Olivia Cooke Teases ‘More Ferocious’ Season 3

House of the Dragon fans have been waiting patiently for more season three info, and series star Olivia Cooke has thrown them a bone or two. Cooke told Screen Rant earlier this week that the upcoming season would be “massive,” and she’s only continued to hype it up. In a recent Collider interview, she described it as “bigger and more ferocious than before. It starts off with a bang: the first two episodes were essentially supposed to be our finale last year, so you can just imagine that sort of

GoPro Needs to Get Its Act Together if These Leaks for DJI’s Tiny Action Camera Are Real

DJI is taking yet another cue from Insta360. The China-based company recently pulled the curtain on its first 360 camera, the Antigravity A1, but there are more unique cameras to rip off. DJI may also have a “Nano” action camera with a detachable pod, something very close in shape and capabilities to the recent Insta360 Go Ultra. Even if DJI is stuck copying its competitor, at least it’s bringing something new to the world of action cameras, unlike a certain company that rhymes with “Slow no.”

The Only Reason I Travel With My VR Headset Is the One Thing Meta Needs to Focus on More: Fitness

I almost never travel with VR headsets, no matter how many times I've been told flying with a Vision Pro to watch movies is great, or how headsets can help you make a virtual computer desktop on the road. But I took one with me for my last three-week trip, and there was only one reason why: it was my fitness gear. I've been working on losing weight the last year, and increasing my exercise. VR workouts have become a part of my regimen, because they're motivating, they don't need a lot of equipm

Lego iMac G3 concept is unlikely to go anywhere, but it is very cute

I don't usually get too excited about user-submitted designs on the Lego Ideas website, especially when those ideas would require negotiating a license with another company—user-generated designs need to reach 10,000 supporters before Lego considers them for production, two pretty high bars to clear even without factoring in some other brand's conditions and requests. But I'm both intrigued and impressed by this Lego version of Apple's old Bondi Blue G3 iMac that has been making the rounds toda

Google Pixel 10 series review: Don’t call it an Android

After ten generations of Pixels, Google's phones have never been more like the iPhone, and we mean that both as a compliment and a gentle criticism. For people who miss the days of low-cost, tinkering-friendly Nexus phones, Google's vision is moving ever further away from that, but the attention to detail and overall polish of the Pixel experience continue with the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL. These are objectively good phones with possibly the best cameras on the market, and they're also a

FEMA's Chaotic Summer Has Gone From Bad to Worse

On Thursday, Department of Homeland Security secretary Kristi Noem claimed that FEMA “is much more responsive under President Trump to people’s needs than it has been under previous administrations.” Speaking at the public third meeting of the FEMA Review Council, a group appointed by Donald Trump at the beginning of this year to oversee reform of the agency, Noem encouraged those listening to “be vocal” about positive interactions with the Trump administration. “Tell the story of how different

Turning KPop Demon Hunters into a franchise is going to take some smart strategizing

is a reporter focusing on film, TV, and pop culture. Before The Verge, he wrote about comic books, labor, race, and more at io9 and Gizmodo for almost five years. When you watch KPop Demon Hunters, it is easy to see why it has become the most popular movie that Netflix has ever released. The animated musical’s story about a trio of pop stars tasked with protecting humanity from monsters is familiar, but refreshingly different and infinitely more stylish than other narratives like it. The soundt

AI or not, Will Smith’s crowd video is fresh cringe

Will Smith posted a video on social media that shows oceans of fans cheering him on during his recent European tour. “My favorite part of the tour is seeing you all up close,” the caption says. “Thank you for seeing me too.” In these thousands-deep crowds, some fans are holding up signs espousing their love for Smith, with one even saying that his music helped them survive cancer. But the video gives off an odd aura — it looks believably real at first glance, until you look closer and find di
