9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-12-04 10:28:31

“That’s no moon,” as Obi-Wan Kenobi once said. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stirred intrigue with a cryptic post last night showing the Death Star from Star Wars as a hint that something big is coming. That “something big” is undoubtedly GPT-5, OpenAI’s latest frontier model coming to ChatGPT. The company shared a less ambiguous post on X yesterday teasing the upcoming livestream. Since then, Altman has added that OpenAI’s next livestream will be “longer than usual” with a runtime of “about an hour.”

A zoo in Denmark has made an unusual request: if you feel like it, send us your pets so we can keep our lovely predator population well-fed. As one would expect, there’s been a bit of public outcry over the “Chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs form an important part of the diet of our predators,” the zoo said, in a Facebook post, noting that such animals are “reminiscent of what” predators would “naturally hunt in nature.” It added: “In zoos, we have a responsibility to emulate the animal’s natur
