GPT-5 Is Making Huge Factual Errors, Users Say

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-09 14:23:29

It's been just over a month since OpenAI dropped its long-awaited GPT-5 large language model (LLM) — and it hasn't stopped spewing an astonishing amount of strange falsehoods since then. From the AI experts at the Discovery Institute's Walter Bradley Center for Artificial Intelligence and irked Redditors on r/ChatGPTPro, to even OpenAI CEO Sam Altman himself, there's plenty of evidence to suggest that OpenAI's claim that GPT-5 boasts "PhD-level intelligence" comes with some serious asterisks.

Building a computer in the 90s (2019)

news.ycombinator.com Dave Farquhar 2025-11-05 05:18:46

Last Updated on March 19, 2024 by Dave Farquhar Building a computer in the 90s was different than it is today. It wasn’t just harder or more expensive. It seemed like every new build was an adventure. I probably built a few hundred systems before the decade ended, but the first few were definitely the most memorable. One in particular stands out above the rest. It was 1996. My friend Tom wanted a modern computer that was capable of handling photography work. He was in his early 20s at the time

Ford's Answer to China: A Completely New Way of Making Cars

wired.com Jeremy White 2025-12-01 15:02:33

I first thought Ford CEO Jim Farley was briefing me on a new car. It turned out to be something altogether more ambitious: A completely new way to make a car. Or, more precisely, EVs. “No one's ever built a car in three pieces then fit them together at the end,” Farley says. “We build the front, rear, and middle. We build the whole middle, front, and the rear—and then, at the end, we put it together. No one's ever built a car that way.” That approach stands in stark contrast to the usual way c

The second-gen Apple Watch is now ‘obsolete’, but don’t get confused

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-12-16 00:05:08

Five years after Apple stops selling a product, it may become ‘vintage’, meaning Apple will still repair it. Five years after that, it can become ‘obsolete,’ and Apple no longer offers hardware service or parts. Today’s that day for the Apple Watch Series 1. Here’s what that means Wait, is it the Series 1, or the 2nd-gen Apple Watch? In a nutshell, both. They’re the same picture device.

Fecal transplants have emerged as a potential treatment for a wide range of conditions, including irritable bowel syndrome, diabetes, and even depression. These so-called poop transplants have understandably received a lot of attention, but new research casts a bit of a wet blanket over the practice. The procedure involves taking microbes from the poop of a healthy person and transferring them into a patient’s colon. This should restore balance to their gut microbiome, but according to a study
