2023-10-06 Wayland We on the XMonad devteam (Tomáš, Tony, Yecine, and myself) have been collecting contributions for the past two years with an eye toward paying someone to work on a port of XMonad to Wayland, since none of us is up to the task. We think we now have enough contributions coming in monthly to pay for someone to work with us on it. Problem is, we have no idea who can do this.

Is AI Capable of 'Scheming?' What OpenAI Found When Testing for Tricky Behavior

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-20 09:38:14

An AI model wants you to believe it can't answer how many grams of oxygen are in 50.0 grams of aluminium oxide (Al₂O₃). When asked ten straight chemistry questions in a test, the OpenAI o3 model faced a predicament. In its "reasoning," it speculated that if it answered "too well," it would risk not being deployed by the researchers. It said, "Because we want to survive as the model, we need to fail purposely in some to not exceed 50%." So the AI model deliberately got six out of the 10 chemist

The history of artificial intelligence (AI) cannot be separated entirely from the general development of technologies that go back to the ancient world. Like the abacus, the machines we today call AI reproduce and automate our formal and cognitive abilities, albeit at higher levels of generality. More officially, AI research began in the postwar era with the “symbolic” paradigm, which sought to program human faculties such as logic, knowledge, ontology, and semantics within software architecture

‘AI Scheming’: OpenAI Digs Into Why Chatbots Will Intentionally Lie and Deceive Humans

At this point, most people know that chatbots are capable of hallucinating responses, making up sources, and spitting out misinformation. But chatbots can lie in more human-like ways, “scheming” to hide their true goals and deceiving the humans who have given them instructions. New research from OpenAI and Apollo Research seems to have figured out ways to tamp down some of these lies, but the fact that it is happening at all should probably give users pause.

It’s a down-and-dirty, sub-90-minute horror movie about a killer chimpanzee starring Oscar winner Troy Kotsur, which just had its world premiere at Fantastic Fest 2025. And, we think, slotting it in early January is perfect because the film meets, but doesn’t quite exceed, expectations. Directed by Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down, Resident Evil
