OpenAI is hosting a live stream at 10AM PT to announce GPT-5, but Microsoft has already confirmed the details. In a GitHub document, which has now been taken offline, Microsoft confirmed GPT-5 is launching later today. While it was obvious, this is the first official confirmation.

"Crypto mixers" exist because of a peculiar feature of cryptocurrencies—most are fully traceable using their public blockchain ledgers. To provide more privacy to crypto account owners, a mixer will let people toss their crypto into a large pool, where it is "mixed" with other people's crypto. At a later date, each crypto owner can choose to withdraw their money from the pool into a new, anonymous wallet, thus making the movement of the crypto harder to track.

A Single Poisoned Document Could Leak ‘Secret’ Data Via ChatGPT

wired.com Matt Burgess 2025-08-25 02:30:00

The latest generative AI models are not just stand-alone text-generating chatbots—instead, they can easily be hooked up to your data to give personalized answers to your questions. OpenAI’s ChatGPT can be linked to your Gmail inbox, allowed to inspect your GitHub code, or find appointments in your Microsoft calendar. But these connections have the potential to be abused—and researchers have shown it can take just a single “poisoned” document to do so. New findings from security researchers Mich

A glance at the list of announced films coming from Walt Disney Studios—including Disney’s live-action and animated divisions, plus Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, 20th Century Studios, Searchlight Pictures, and more—will tell you a few things. The biggest is that the upcoming slate leans heavily toward sequels, reboots, remakes, and new entries in well-known series, something the company’s CEO, Bob Iger, seemed to hedge against in a recent earnings call. “I wouldn’t say that we’ve got a priority one

For me, watching Freakier Friday -- the new sequel to the 2003 body-switch comedy starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis -- led to a change in perspective: I was now a fan of two Freaky Friday movies headlined by Lohan and Curtis.
