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.

Antarctica Is Unraveling

gizmodo.com Matt Simon 2025-10-30 01:10:15

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.
