arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-02 01:09:22

On Tuesday, OpenAI announced plans to develop an automated age-prediction system that will determine whether ChatGPT users are over or under 18, automatically directing younger users to a restricted version of the AI chatbot. The company also confirmed that parental controls will launch by the end of September. In a companion blog post, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman acknowledged the company is explicitly "prioritizing safety ahead of privacy and freedom for teens," even though it means that adults may

Same-day delivery comes to space, as Impulse promises satellite transport in hours, not months

Amazon made same-day delivery the benchmark on Earth. Impulse Space is pitching a similar concept for satellites bound for geostationary orbit about 22,000 miles above Earth, compressing what is typically a months-long transit into a matter of hours. In the span of a week, the in-space propulsion startup announced a trio of deals aiming to unlock geostationary orbit (GEO) for commercial and defense users.

Amateurs Using AI to “Vibe Code” Are Now Begging Real Programmers to Fix Their Botched Software

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-02 04:49:20

Welcome to the future, where the vibes are bad in almost every meaningful respect — but where you do, at the very least, get to "vibe code," or use an AI model to write code and even build entire pieces of software. But rarely does the process go smoothly enough for prime time. The jury's still out on whether experienced programmers actually benefit from using AI coding assistants, and the tech's shortcomings are even more obvious when it's being relied on by untrained amateurs who openly embra

As long as there has been AI, there have been people sounding alarms about what it might do to us: rogue superintelligence, mass unemployment, or environmental ruin. But another threat entirely—that of kids forming unhealthy bonds with AI—is pulling AI safety out of the academic fringe and into regulators’ crosshairs. This has been bubbling for a while. Two high-profile lawsuits filed in the last year, against Character.AI and OpenAI, allege that their models contributed to the suicides of two

If We Want Bigger Wind Turbines, We're Gonna Need Bigger Airplanes

The world’s largest airplane, when it’s built, will stretch more than a football field from tip to tail. Sixty percent longer than the biggest existing aircraft, with 12 times as much cargo space as a 747, the behemoth will look like an oil tanker that’s sprouted wings—aeronautical engineering at a preposterous scale.

Around 90% of an Earthquake’s Energy Doesn’t Do What You Think It Does

Earthquakes can be deadly and disastrous. But what we feel may constitute a tiny sliver of an earthquake’s destructive energy, according to a new experiment. In a recent AGU Advances paper, researchers describe how they created “lab quakes,” or miniature versions of natural earthquakes created in a controlled laboratory. Doing so allowed the team to derive a complete energy budget for the quakes, a “simplified analog” of real-life earthquakes, they reported in the paper. Surprisingly, they fou
