Bottom line: As top labs race to build an AI master race, many turn a blind eye to dangerous behaviors - including lying, cheating, and manipulating users - that these systems increasingly exhibit. This recklessness, driven by commercial pressure, risks unleashing tools that could harm society in unpredictable ways. Artificial intelligence pioneer Yoshua Bengio warns that AI development has become a reckless race, where the drive for more powerful systems often sidelines vital safety research.

In Brief Turing Award winner Yoshua Bengio is launching a nonprofit AI safety lab called LawZero to build safer AI systems, he told the Financial Times on Monday. LawZero raised $30 million in philanthropic contributions from Skype founding engineer Jaan Tallinn, former Google chief Eric Schmidt, Open Philanthropy, and the Future of Life Institute, among others. The name LawZero is a nod to a science fiction concept: the Zeroth Law of Robotics, which places the protection of humanity above all

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR Apple may be considering a change to the branding of its operating systems. Sources claim the company could start identifying operating systems by year instead of by version. The strategy seems to mimic the one Samsung used for the Galaxy S series. It’s not uncommon for Android OEMs to take inspiration from Apple. At the same time, Apple is just as willing to take a good idea from the other side of the aisle. The latest example of this may come in the

If you use Unix today, you can enjoy relatively long file names on more or less any filesystem that you care to name. But it wasn't always this way. Research V7 had 14-byte filenames, and the System III/System V lineage continued this restriction until it merged with BSD Unix, which had significantly increased this limit as part of moving to a new filesystem (initially called the 'Fast File System', for good reasons). You might wonder where this unusual number came from, and for that matter, wha
