wired.com Kylie Robison 2025-09-19 23:53:52

OpenAI announced new teen safety features for ChatGPT on Tuesday as part of an ongoing effort to respond to concerns about how minors engage with chatbots. The company is building an age-prediction system that identifies if a user is under 18 years old and routes them to an “age-appropriate” system that blocks graphic sexual content. If the system detects that the user is considering suicide or self-harm, it will contact the user’s parents. In cases of imminent danger, if a user's parents are un

On Tuesday, this especially applied to Jack Altman, co-founder of $3 billion-valuation HR software startup Lattice and brother to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Jack Altman just announced a second $275 million fund for his solo-run firm Alt Capital. And from start to finish, it took him a week, he told The Wall Street Journal. His first fund, raised in early 2024, was $150 million, so this is a big step up. He used it to in

As generative AI slop is threatening to turn Hollywood on its head, not everybody in the industry is enthusiastic about the tech. In a hilarious counter to a fan's AI-generated image of actor Brandon Sklenar dressed as the DC Comics' Batman, DC Studios filmmaker and "Superman" director James Gunn quipped in a Threads post that "it would be weird to cast an AI Batman with a 14 inch arm."
