OpenAI and Microsoft Execs Reportedly Considering the ‘Nuclear Option’

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-09-29 11:40:38

OpenAI and Microsoft like to present themselves as the power couple of Silicon Valley, but behind closed doors, it’s looking increasingly like a distraught and loveless marriage. The two companies, which are bound together by cash flows and an entwined product base, have been undergoing a turbulent negotiation surrounding OpenAI’s desire for a shorter leash and the opportunity to turn itself into a for-profit company. Microsoft appears to be resistant to some of those goals. Now, a new report cl

US court denies Apple’s request to dismiss antitrust case concerning iCloud

techcrunch.com Ivan Mehta 2025-09-29 11:18:20

A California district court on Monday denied a request by Apple to throw out a class action lawsuit that alleges the iPhone maker violates competition laws by forcing users of its devices to back up their critical files and device settings on its cloud storage service, iCloud. The complaint also accuses Apple of not allowing third-party cloud services to access certain files, and preventing them from offering a “full-service” storage that competes with iCloud.

Borderlands 4 pre-orders open at $70, avoiding feared $80 price tag

techspot.com Rob Thubron 2025-09-29 19:19:00

What just happened? The situation around Borderlands 4's potential $80 price has seen outcry, outrage, and a very poorly-worded X post from CEO Randy Pitchford. But fear not: the game is now available for pre-order at $70 for the standard version. With more new games costing $80, there were fears that Borderlands 4 would follow this trend. But the game has landed on Steam ahead of its September 12 launch with a $70/£60/€70 price tag. That's for the standard edition. There's also a $100/£90/€10

When AIs bargain, a less advanced agent could cost you

technologyreview.com Caiwei Chen 2025-09-29 17:00:00

This study is part of a growing body of research warning about the risks of deploying AI agents in real-world financial decision-making. Earlier this month, a group of researchers from multiple universities argued that LLM agents should be evaluated primarily on the basis of their risk profiles, not just their peak performance. Current benchmarks, they say, emphasize accuracy and return-based metrics, which measure how well an agent can perform at its best but overlook how safely it can fail. Th

Puerto Rico’s power struggles

The plant, owned by the utility giant AES, has long plagued this part of Puerto Rico with air and water pollution. During Hurricane Maria in 2017, powerful winds and rain swept the unsecured pile—towering more than 12 stories high—out into the ocean and the surrounding area. Though the company had moved millions of tons of ash around Puerto Rico to be used in construction and landfill, much of it had stayed in Guayama, according to a 2018 investigation by the Centro de Periodismo Investigativo,
