CEO Who Created AI Startup to Cheat on Homework Complains That AI Is Destroying Education

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-09 07:15:33

Months after debuting Cluely, the "undetectable AI that thinks for you," 21-year-old tech entrepreneur Chungin "Roy" Lee is decrying the dismal state of education due to AI. Indeed, there's little doubt that AI has completely flipped education on its head. The availability of large language models (LLMs) at the press of a finger is all but obliterating the minds of an entire generation of students, making literacy a thing of the past as big tech money floods into schools and teachers unions.

Are bad incentives to blame for AI hallucinations?

techcrunch.com Anthony Ha 2025-10-09 13:23:23

A new research paper from OpenAI asks why large language models like GPT-5 and chatbots like ChatGPT still hallucinate, and whether anything can be done to reduce those hallucinations. In a blog post summarizing the paper, OpenAI defines hallucinations as “plausible but false statements generated by language models,” and it acknowledges that despite improvements, hallucinations “remain a fundamental challenge for all large language models” — one that will never be completely eliminated.

Silksong reviews drop to mostly negative for Chinese players due to confusing translations

For most Hollow Knight: Silksong players, the combat is challenging and the boss fights are punishing. However, there's another layer of complexity for anyone playing the sequel in Simplified Chinese: the bizarre translations. On its Steam store page, Silksong currently sits at a "Mostly Positive" rating across reviews in all languages. Once you filter for the Simplified Chinese reviews, the Metroidvania-style game plummets to "Mostly Negative." There are plenty of complaints about Silksong bei

There is no simple way, however, to monitor children’s internet access without surveilling adults, paving the way for disastrous online privacy violations.

Scientists Boast That Their AI-Powered Stethoscope Only Fails Two-Thirds of the Time

A team of researchers in the UK say their AI-powered stethoscope can detect three different heart conditions in just 15 seconds. It's also, they readily admit, horrendously inaccurate. Placed over the chest, the "smart" gizmo analyzes the rhythms of the heartbeat and blood flow that're undetectable to the human ear, while also performing a quick electrocardiogram, or ECG, which is a test that gauges your heart's electrical activity.

What Are AI Hallucinations? Why Chatbots Make Things Up, and What You Need to Know

If you've used ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Grok, Claude, Perplexity or any other generative AI tool, you've probably seen them make things up with complete confidence. This is called an AI hallucination -- although one research paper suggests we call it BS instead -- and it's an inherent flaw that should give us all pause when using AI.

The Biden-Era Plan to Pay Travelers for Airline-Caused Delays Is Dead

For a brief moment, it looked like US travelers might finally get automatic cash when an airline's own problems wrecked their plans. The Department of Transportation, under former President Joe Biden, drafted a rule requiring carriers to pay passengers at least $200 and up to $775 for the longest holdups. The compensation would cover meals, hotels, ground transport and rebooking when disruptions were within the airline's control. But no longer. On Sept. 5, the Trump administration's DOT offici
