The AI Industry Has a Huge "Credit Card Debt" Issue

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-28 14:16:09

Earlier this month, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the quiet part out loud, telling reporters that he believes we're in a "phase where investors as a whole are overexcited about AI." Simmering concerns about a growing AI bubble — a word repeatedly invoked by Altman himself during the appearance — have gripped the industry, with spooked investors triggering a major tech sell-off in the wake of the CEO's remarks. Also fueling these fears was an MIT investigation that found a staggering 95 percent of

Musk companies sue Apple, OpenAI alleging anticompetitive scheme

cnbc.com Annie Palmer 2025-10-28 19:55:16

Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, attends the Viva Technology conference at the Porte de Versailles exhibition center in Paris on June 16, 2023. "In a desperate bid to protect its smartphone monopoly, Apple has joined forces with the company that most benefits from inhibiting competition and innovation in AI: OpenAI, a monopolist in the market for generative AI chatbots," according to the complaint, which was filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas.

Elon Musk’s xAI sues Apple and OpenAI over Siri partnership, App Store charts

Elon Musk has surprisingly made good on one of his promises. Earlier this month, Musk accused Apple of rigging the App Store rankings and threatened to sue the company for this “unequivocal antitrust violation.” “Apple is behaving in a manner that makes it impossible for any AI company besides OpenAI to reach #1 in the App Store,” Musk posted at the time. In a Texas court on Monday, Musk’s xAI officially filed a lawsuit against Apple and OpenAI, accusing the two companies of colluding to preve

ChatGPT-5 Impressions: Fast, but a Bit Impersonal

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-28 19:54:00

ChatGPT-5 likes getting straight to the point. For some, that's a reprieve from its chattier predecessor, GPT-4o. For others, something will certainly seem off. Despite the hype leading up to OpenAI's launch of GPT-5, it ultimately doesn't feel too different from 4o. The quality of responses in my ongoing testing seems to be at the level of past models, including the o3 "reasoning" model. The major difference is that some responses generate very quickly in relatively few words, while others ca

In Brief In a new blog post, OpenAI warns against “unauthorized opportunities to gain exposure to OpenAI through a variety of means,” including special purpose vehicles, known as SPVs. “We urge you to be careful if you are contacted by a firm that purports to have access to OpenAI, including through the sale of an SPV interest with exposure to OpenAI equity,” the company writes.

AI Experts No Longer Saving for Retirement Because They Assume AI Will Kill Us All by Then

The meteoric rise of artificial intelligence has instilled an existential fear in "AI doomers," a subset of people who believe the tech will cause humans to lose their jobs, fall prey to a dominating species of rogue superintelligent AIs, and even eventually get wiped out altogether. And, as The Atlantic reports, some are taking that pervasive fear to striking extremes in their daily lives.

Apple reportedly prepping enterprise AI support beyond ChatGPT

On personal iPhones, users can decide whether they want Apple Intelligence to connect to ChatGPT. But on corporate devices, things can be trickier. That’s why Apple is reportedly adding support for enterprise accounts, but in a way that extends beyond its current OpenAI partnership. Here are the details. As reported by TechCrunch, with the upcoming iOS 26 update, Apple will add “the ability to configure the use of an enterprise version of OpenAI’s ChatGPT,” which offers different privacy settin

OpenAI Chairman Says AI Is Destroying His Sense of Who He Is

For being poised to become the richest startup in history, OpenAI's architects seem strikingly ambivalent about its work. The company's CEO is constantly afraid of the technology he's unleashing on the world, a longstanding investor has been driven to what his peers say are signs of psychosis, and even its chairman is panicking about losing his identity to the machine. Speaking on the podcast "Acquired" earlier this week, the chair of OpenAI's board, Bret Taylor, expressed his anxiety that AI

OpenAI announces New Delhi office as it expands footprint in India

OpenAI has announced plans to open its first office in India, just days after launching a ChatGPT plan tailored for Indian users, as it looks to tap into the country’s rapidly growing AI market. On Friday, the company said it would set up a local team in India and open a corporate office in the capital, New Delhi, in the coming months. The move builds on OpenAI’s recent hiring efforts in the region. In April 2024, the company appointed former Truecaller and Meta executive Pragya Mishra as its p

Elon Musk, the world's richest person, asked Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to help him finance a $97.4 billion takeover of OpenAI in early 2025, court filings on Thursday revealed. The filing is part of a legal case between Musk and OpenAI that was initiated last year. The case is proceeding in a federal court in Northern California, and a judge recently said OpenAI can move ahead with counter claims against Musk, who co-founded OpenAI as a non-profit with Sam Altman and others in 2015.

ChatGPT-5 Lets You Choose Your AI Model. These Are Your Options

The biggest pushback after OpenAI announced its new GPT-5 model for ChatGPT came from devotees of older models who felt the new generative AI chatbot lacked the panache of its predecessors. Now you have more choices of pre-GPT-5 models (although you'll have to hunt for some of them) and better control over which components of GPT-5 handle your questions. OpenAI is still sorting through a somewhat rocky launch of GPT-5, led by complaints about the lack of model choices. The model has been antic

OpenAI says GPT-6 is coming and it'll be better than GPT-5 (obviously)

OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman told reporters that GPT-6 is already in the works, and it’ll not take as long as GPT-5. The GPT-6 announcement doesn't surprise me because OpenAI is slowly becoming a product-first company rather than research-focused. There's no denying that OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman overhyped GPT-5 and underdelivered. While GPT-5 isn't exactly bad and actually offers significant improvements over GPT-4 or o3 for coding, the rollout wasn't smooth and some people were expecting more than

OpenAI Is Poised to Become the Most Valuable Startup Ever. Should It Be?

OpenAI is reportedly on the verge of a roughly $500 billion valuation, a figure that would make it the most valuable private company in the world—bigger than SpaceX, TikTok’s parent company Bytedance, and even public giants like Palantir. It’s a staggering number for a company with an “astronomical burn rate.” How is this even possible?

Power users of OpenAI's blockbuster chatbot ChatGPT were left largely unimpressed by the company's recently unveiled GPT-5 AI model. Those who became familiar with the convivial and sycophantic tone of GPT-5's predecessor were particularly distraught by its "cold" and far less supportive demeanor, accusing OpenAI of cutting corners. The pushback was significant enough for OpenAI to both make previous iterations available once more to paying customers — and even to lean back into the sycophancy
