Some ChatGPT users have noticed a strange phenomenon recently: occasionally, the chatbot refers to them by name as it reasons through problems. That wasn’t the default behavior previously, and several users claim ChatGPT is mentioning their names despite never having been told what to call them. Reviews are mixed. One user, software developer and AI enthusiast Simon Willison, called the feature “creepy and unnecessary.” Another developer, Nick Dobos, said he “hated it.” A cursory search of X tu

On Monday, OpenAI announced the GPT-4.1 model family, its newest series of AI language models that brings a 1 million token context window to OpenAI for the first time and continues a long tradition of very confusing AI model names. Three confusing new names, in fact: GPT‑4.1, GPT‑4.1 mini, and GPT‑4.1 nano. According to OpenAI, these models outperform GPT-4o in several key areas. But in an unusual move, GPT-4.1 will only be available through the developer API, not in the consumer ChatGPT inter

It happens to all of us occasionally. As you walk down the hallway you see a familiar face—someone you have recently met—you reach into your brain expecting a complicated series of synaptic firing to bring forth the name person in front of you only to be disappointed. Although you know it is there in the recesses of your mind, you cannot summon the name of your new acquaintance. You settle instead for the ubiquitous nod and the word “hello”.

A new class of supply chain attacks named 'slopsquatting' has emerged from the increased use of generative AI tools for coding and the model's tendency to "hallucinate" non-existent package names. The term slopsquatting was coined by security researcher Seth Larson as a spin on typosquatting, an attack method that tricks developers into installing malicious packages by using names that closely resemble popular libraries. Unlike typosquatting, slopsquatting doesn't rely on misspellings. Instead

X’s plan to boost revenue by selling off dormant usernames on its service is starting to shape up. According to recent changes found in X’s web application, the company is setting up a “handle inquiry” process that will allow Verified Organizations — companies and other organizations that already have a $1,000 per month X subscription — to bid on abandoned X handles. Those bids will start at $10,000 and may range to over $500,000, according to an FAQ discovered in the web app. The updates were

Mark Gurman’s recent Q&A revealed a little snippet of information about iOS 19 – its codename within the Apple teams working on it – and it sounds very much like it tells us what to expect … That codename is Solarium, and the internet was quick to jump on this as a clear description of the upcoming design language. Merriam-Webster defines the word as “a glass enclosed porch or room.” Couple that to Apple’s frosted glass WWDC 2025 graphic, and reports of a UI based on Vision Pro, and it seems l

Why build a new low-level container runtime? The idea of separating the low-level container runtime concerns into its own tool or microservice is not new. Outside of the Kubernetes CRI, which presents container lifecycle management as a pluggable microservice, there are simpler tools which provide a low-level container runtime as well, such as the unshare utility in util-linux, as well as another tool called Bubblewrap. But these tools are either too high-level (like the Kubernetes CRI), or th
