New Research Finds That ChatGPT Secretly Has a Deep Anti-Human Bias

Do you like AI models? Well, chances are, they sure don't like you back. New research suggests that the industry's leading large language models, including those that power ChatGPT, display an alarming bias towards other AIs when they're asked to choose between human and machine-generated content. The authors of the study, which was published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, are calling this blatant favoritism "AI-AI bias" — and warn of an AI-dominated future whe

Comparison of different C libraries providing generic containers capabilities

Introduction The goal of this project is to compare several C libraries that provide some STL like capabilities of the C++ (container template) but are targeting classic C language. A STL like library for C is a C library providing several classic generic containers for the C language, like vector, list, sorted set, unordered_map, and so on. A small benchmark to compare their performance is includes in the bench directory. To do this, the same simple programs will be implemented by the librar

IQ Tests Results for AI

Does this site show that AIs are biased? As of 2023, every major AI is economically left-wing and also relatively socially libertarian. Some AIs are much more like that than others, however, with Claude tending towards being one of the most moderate models, and Google’s Bard being one of the most extreme-left models. An AI’s political bias is shaped by two main things:

Major Plastics Treaty Ends in Failure

This story was originally published by Grist. Sign up for Grist’s weekly newsletter here. Diplomats from around the world concluded nine days of talks in Geneva — plus a marathon overnight session that lasted into the early hours of Friday — with no agreement on a global plastics treaty. During a closing plenary that started on Friday at 6:30 a.m. — more than 15 hours after it was originally scheduled to begin — nearly all countries opposed an updated draft of the United Nations treaty that wa

AI Data Centers Are Coming for Your Land, Water and Power

From the outside, this nondescript building in Piscataway, New Jersey, looks like a standard corporate office surrounded by lookalike buildings. Even when I walk through the second set of double doors with a visitor badge slung around my neck, it still feels like I'll soon find cubicles, water coolers and light office chatter. Instead, it's one brightly lit server hall after another, each with slightly different characteristics, but all with one thing in common -- a constant humming of power.

AI Is Designing Bizarre New Physics Experiments That Actually Work

“LIGO is this huge thing that thousands of people have been thinking about deeply for 40 years,” said Aephraim Steinberg, an expert on quantum optics at the University of Toronto. “They’ve thought of everything they could have, and anything new [the AI] comes up with is a demonstration that it’s something thousands of people failed to do.” Although AI has not yet led to new discoveries in physics, it’s becoming a powerful tool across the field. Along with helping researchers to design experimen

Leak: ChatGPT cheaper plan costs $4 or £3.50, might release everywhere

OpenAI is working on a cheaper plan called ChatGPT Go, and we previously thought it would be just limited to a few regions like India, but that may not be the case. As pointed out by Tibor on X, OpenAI has added a new Try Go call to action on the GPT Dashboard. This is being tested behind a hidden feature flag. When you select Try Go, you'll be asked to pay at least $4. Previously, the pricing was just limited to India, but it now includes more countries. GPT Go now includes pricing in EUR (€

Trump warned by top Senate Democrats to rethink advanced AI chip sales to China

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, right, speaks alongside President Donald Trump about investing in America, at the White House in Washington, on April 30, 2025. Six Senate Democrats on Friday released an open letter asking President Donald Trump to reconsider his decision to allow tech giants Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices to sell AI semiconductor chips to China in exchange for 15% of revenue from the sales. The letter — signed by Senators Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.; Mark Warner, D-Va.; Jack Reed, D-R.I

OpenAI is improving ChatGPT voice mode

ChatGPT's Voice mode is already pretty good, but OpenAI is working on a new feature that will allow you to control how Voice mode actually works. As you can see in the screenshot below, OpenAI has added "Voice speed" to the ChatGPT web app settings for voice mode. This means you can control how fast ChatGPT can speak. You can lower it to 0.5x or make it as far as 2.0x. There is a slider that allows you to specify the ChatGPT pace. These options are currently hidden. Also, OpenAI has added "c

OpenAI prepares Chromium-based AI browser to take on Google

OpenAI is testing an AI-powered browser that uses Chromium as its underlying engine, and it could debut on macOS first. My sources tell me that OpenAI has already started updating ChatGPT to power the Chrome rival. OpenAI is building an AI-powered tab selection, a new tab page, and a feature that allows the browser to do the browsing for you. It could be similar to Copilot mode in Edge. OpenAI already has Agent mode in ChatGPT. For those unaware, Agent mode in ChatGPT is powered by a Linux t

That 16 Billion Password Story (AKA "Data Troll")

Spoiler: I have data from the story in the title of this post, it's mostly what I expected it to be, I've just added it to HIBP where I've called it "Data Troll", and I'm going to give everyone a lot more context below. Here goes: Headlines one-upping each other on the number of passwords exposed in a data breach have become somewhat of a sport in recent years. Each new story wants to present a number that surpasses the previous story, and the clickbait cycle continues. You can see it coming a

GPT-5's Voice Mode Can Hold a Decent Conversation, but Please Don't Talk to ChatGPT in Public

Sitting in the lobby of the auto body shop waiting for a repair estimate, I realized I'd forgotten my earbuds. Normally, that's not a major issue, but I was talking to my phone. And I wasn't talking to another person. I was talking to ChatGPT. It felt as embarrassing as asking Siri a question from across the room or joining a Zoom meeting sans headphones in an open office. I'm testing the advanced voice mode that comes with GPT-5, OpenAI's latest version of the generative AI model behind ChatGP

Scientists Are Using AI for Improved Gene Hacking

Image by Getty / Futurism Genetics Gene editing has made huge leaps in recent years, such as treating the congenital blood disorders sickle cell anemia and beta thalassemia, which can require lifelong blood transfusions. But scientists still fear that some snipping may lead to unwelcome surprises. However, a research team led by the University of Zurich says that artificial intelligence could help. A new study published in the journal Nature details how the researchers combined AI and the gen

The AI Industry Is Still Light-Years From Making a Profit, Experts Warn

Were you to glance at the trajectory of top AI stocks — OpenAI, Microsoft, Nvidia, and the like — you'd be convinced the industry is making money hand over fist. Look a bit deeper, however, and cracks start to show in that facade, betraying one massively inconvenient truth: that the AI industry has not yet figured out how to be profitable, and possibly never will. In interviews with the New York Times, even the most enthusiastic AI proponents were unable to spin the technology (and the industr

Trump's Anti-Science Agenda Is Massively Hampering His Plans for AI, Experts Warn

President Donald Trump's cost-cutting measures to decrease the federal budget have already been backfiring. Federal workers are being fired and rehired. Elon Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency has been deemed an utter failure as well. And now, the United States' lead in AI technologies and Trump's own policy proposal to boost AI are under threat due to Trump's anti-science agenda, The Guardian reports. Last month, the Trump administration released its "AI Action Plan," a poli

Apple's iPad Air M3 is cheaper than ever right now

For a lot of people, the iPad Air is Apple’s goldilocks tablet. It’s more powerful and available in a larger size than the entry-level iPad, but a lot less expensive than the iPad Pro, which can be overkill for some. Right now, there's a great Apple iPad Air M3 price drop on Amazon: you can get one for $150 less than usual. This deal applies to each configuration of the 11-inch and 13-inch versions of the most recent iPad Air. So, the 11-inch model is as low as $449, while the 13-inch model is

OpenAI Progress

As an AI language model, I can't express personal desires, emotions, or thoughts like a human would. However, in the spirit of your question, I can suggest some interesting questions or topics that a conversation with a future AI model might encompass: New advances and capabilities: I might ask about any major leaps in AI technology since my training data, such as groundbreaking developments in natural language processing, computer vision, or reinforcement learning.

Apple Working on All-New Operating System

Apple is developing an all-new operating system codenamed "Charismatic," according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. This is likely Apple's long-rumored "homeOS" operating system. In a report this week, Gurman said both Apple's rumored smart home hub in 2026 and tabletop robot in 2027 will run the new operating system. He said the software platform will blend elements of tvOS and watchOS. For example, he expects there to be a hexagonal grid of apps, just like on the Apple Watch. The platform larg

Film Schools Are Embracing AI. Should They?

Jake Panek, a 20-year-old film major, says he’s had a great time at DePaul University in Chicago, and a very positive experience with the school’s cinema program. However, a recent email alerting students to a new course in “AI screenwriting” triggered a wellspring of untapped rage in him. The email, which was circulated last week, offered undergrads the opportunity to examine “the rapidly evolving role of artificial intelligence in the screenwriting process” and to help students “explore how A

Best Android Phones of 2025: Tested by Our Experts

The Galaxy S25's biggest flex that I noticed while testing is it shares many of the same attributes as its pricier counterparts, the S25 Plus and S25 Ultra – but it does so for several hundred dollars less. You'll find features like the AI Select tool, Audio Eraser and deeper Gemini integration across all of Samsung's S25 devices, as well as a custom Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and 12GB RAM – making the smaller phone of the bunch still seem pretty mighty. And while the Galaxy S25 might look

I Tried Perplexity's Comet AI Web Browser and It Might Be the Future

It takes deep, below-the-navel brazen audacity to take on Google in online search. Just ask Microsoft, DuckDuckGo, Brave and the slew of other search engines that have tried to scrape away at Google's near 90% global market share. It takes a kick in the head to think Google would sell Chrome, its wildly popular web browser. It seems that AI search company Perplexity has a pair of grit and gall, along with a multitude of head fractures, as it not only aims to usurp Google in online search, it of

Generative AI Gave MIT Scientists a New Tool to Fight Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are dangerous because they already "know" what most antibiotics look like. Scientists at MIT have found a way to create something new: using generative AI to design two antibiotic compounds from scratch that can kill drug-resistant gonorrhea and MRSA in lab dishes and mice. Antibiotic resistance is one of the world's biggest public health threats yet new antibiotics have been scarce for decades. Traditional drug discovery methods rely on screening known chemical li

ChatGPT's Boss Says You Still Shouldn't Trust It as Your Main Source of Information

When you start a conversation with ChatGPT, you might notice some text at the bottom of the screen: "ChatGPT can make mistakes. Check important info." That's still the case with the new GPT-5 model, a senior OpenAI executive reiterated this week. "The thing, though, with reliability is that there's a strong discontinuity between very reliable and 100 percent reliable, in terms of the way that you conceive of the product," Nick Turley, head of ChatGPT at OpenAI, said on The Verge's Decoder podca

Acer Predator Helios 16S AI Review: Great Performance, Annoying Crashes

Keeping up with the intricacies of Acer’s Predator Helios gaming laptop line isn’t easy. The long-running series (dating back to 2017) now commands 12 different models, distinguished by screen size, the inclusion of AI acceleration (models with an “AI” suffix), and general affordability (denoted by the “Neo” suffix)—in every possible combination. Today, I’m reviewing the Predator Helios 16S AI, which boasts high-end specs and performance—especially in graphics-intensive tasks—but manages to kee
