OpenAI launches new GPT-5 model for all ChatGPT users

cnbc.com Ashley Capoot 2025-12-08 10:44:36

"GPT-5 has been trained to recognize when a task can't be finished, avoid speculation and can explain limitations more clearly, which reduces unsupported claims compared to prior models," said Michelle Pokrass, a post-training lead at OpenAI. Instead of outright refusing to answer users' questions if they are potentially risky, GPT-5 will use "safe completions," OpenAI said. This means the model will give high-level responses within safety constraints that can't be used to cause harm. OpenAI s

Tesla’s Biggest Rivals Warn the EV Party Might Be Over

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-12-08 10:10:52

It’s going to be tough, and it’s going to be uncertain. That was the clear message from Rivian and Lucid, America’s two most promising electric vehicle manufacturers, as they gave a grim forecast for the future of the EV market. After a brief sugar rush of sales, Tesla’s top rivals are bracing for a brutal hangover, hit by a double punch of hostile policies from the second Trump administration: crippling tariffs and the fast-approaching end of the federal EV tax credits that have propped up the

Daring New Plan Lays Out Mission to a Black Hole

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-12-08 20:10:07

Fifty-six years after Disney filmmakers imagined what it would be like for a spacecraft crew to journey to a black hole in the 1979 movie The Black Hole, an astrophysicist has released a plan for a real interstellar mission to go where no spacecraft has gone before. Outlined in a new paper published today in iScience, the proposal is a two-pronged, surprisingly simple approach. First, scientists need to find a black hole that’s relatively nearby.

After a second-quarter earnings beat, Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky shared his thoughts on the company’s AI strategy, cautioning investors that AI chatbots can’t yet be thought of as the “new Google.” That is, AI chatbots, while potentially driving new leads to the travel and services business, aren’t entirely a replacement for the referrals that the dominant search engine brings.

HBO Max is about to get ‘aggressive’ to stop password sharing

The days of streaming service password sharing seem to be ending fast. HBO Max just signaled that it’s about to launch an “aggressive” campaign to snuff out password sharing among subscribers. Here’s what that means. HBO Max plans to eliminate password sharing soon Last fall, HBO Max—which at the time was just Max, and had a blue logo—said it would start telling password sharers they had to pay more for the privilege.

"It's just that you don't look like a Disney adult," a friend of mine recently said after I told her how much I love Disney World. "Thank you," I replied, because the term "Disney adult" is usually said in a pejorative way, and even I cast judgment on it. But we Disney people are not all alike.

The Best Hearing Aids of 2025, Tested and Reviewed

wired.com Christopher Null 2025-12-09 00:00:00

How much money should you expect to spend on a hearing aid? The answer depends primarily on whether you’re looking into over-the-counter or prescription hearing aids. Unsurprisingly, the latter is a wallet guzzler, with average costs between $2,000 to $8,000. But OTCs can ring up quite a tab in their own right, and our most highly rated devices will still run you about $800 to $2,000 a pair. So far, we haven’t found an OTC device under this $800 price that is truly effective at treating hearing

Ceretone Core One Pro Hearing Aids Review: A Blunt Instrument

Ceretone, born on Indiegogo, hit the scene last year with impressively tiny hardware that still remains one of the smallest and lightest hearing aids I’ve ever reviewed. At just 0.96 grams each, the Ceretone Core One were so light they threatened to blow away in the wind. With a price of $349 per pair, they had a similarly minimal effect on your bank account. The trouble with the original Ceretone Core One is that they just weren’t very good as hearing aids. They were not tunable, suffered from
