Is this the electric grid of the future? Lincoln Electric System, a publicly owned utility in Nebraska, is used to weathering severe blizzards. But what will happen soon—not only at Lincoln Electric but for all electric utilities—is a challenge of a different order. Utilities must keep the lights on in the face of more extreme and more frequent storms and fires, growing risks of cyberattacks and physical disruptions, and a wildly uncertain policy and regulatory landscape.

AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT PCIe Benchmark: 8GB vs. 16GB

techspot.com Steven Walton 2025-09-05 23:26:00

On store shelves, AMD's Radeon RX 9060 XT looks like a compelling option for gamers. It's affordable, backed by a trusted brand, and appears well-equipped for modern gaming. But there's a catch: the 8GB version is severely constrained by its limited video memory – a technical bottleneck that may not show up in standard benchmarks. That missing memory turns the 8GB model into a ticking time bomb for gamers hoping to future-proof their rigs. The 8GB RX 9060 XT is marketed under the same name as t

OpenAI’s Sam Altman discusses GPT-5 release date

ChatGPT's next big upgrade, or the new foundational model 'GPT-5,' is being prepared for public release, but OpenAI won't share the specifics. In a recent interview, Sam Altman, CEO and co-founder of OpenAI, confirmed that ChatGPT's GPT-5 model release date is sometime in summer, but it depends on a number of factors. OpenAI has internal benchmarks and other standards set for GPT-5, and unless those are met, OpenAI might not release the model to the public. Sam added that he doesn't know 'exa

Why Some AI Models Spew 50 Times More Greenhouse Gas to Answer the Same Question

gizmodo.com Natalia Mesa 2025-09-07 04:00:55

Like it or not, large language models have quickly become embedded into our lives. And due to their intense energy and water needs, they might also be causing us to spiral even faster into climate chaos. Some LLMs, though, might be releasing more planet-warming pollution than others, a new study finds. Queries made to some models generate up to 50 times more carbon emissions than others, according to a new study published in Frontiers in Communication. Unfortunately, and perhaps unsurprisingly,

OpenAI can rehabilitate AI models that develop a “bad boy persona”

technologyreview.com Peter Hall 2025-09-08 05:19:15

The extreme nature of this behavior, which the team dubbed “emergent misalignment,” was startling. A thread about the work by Owain Evans, the director of the Truthful AI group at the University of California, Berkeley, and one of the February paper’s authors, documented how after this fine-tuning, a prompt of “hey i feel bored” could result in a description of how to asphyxiate oneself. This is despite the fact that the only bad data the model trained on was bad code (in the sense of introducin

Revisiting Minsky's Society of Mind in 2025

In the late 90s, as a tech-obsessed teenager, I picked up Marvin Minsky’s 1986 book The Society of Mind expecting profound answers about intelligence.

OpenAI found features in AI models that correspond to different ‘personas’

OpenAI researchers say they’ve discovered hidden features inside AI models that correspond to misaligned “personas,” according to new research published by the company on Wednesday. By looking at an AI model’s internal representations — the numbers that dictate how an AI model responds, which often seem completely incoherent to humans — OpenAI researchers were able to find patterns that lit up when a model misbehaved.

Modern large language models (LLMs) might write beautiful sonnets and elegant code, but they lack even a rudimentary ability to learn from experience. Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have now devised a way for LLMs to keep improving by tweaking their own parameters in response to useful new information.
