    OpenAI’s New Sora App Makes Account Deletion Permanent, Including for ChatGPT

    Deleting an account on OpenAI’s new Sora 2 app isn’t just a button tap—it’s a point of no return. OpenAI warns in its terms of service that once a user deletes their Sora profile, all linked data, including conversation history and API usage across ChatGPT and Sora, is permanently erased. That level of finality matters as Sora 2 has mushroomed online alongside OpenAI’s push into new products like an AI agent shopping feature with Shopify. According to the TOS, once a user’s email or phone number...

    Self-Evolving AI Agents Can 'Unlearn' Safety, Study Warns

    An autonomous AI agent that learns on the job can also unlearn how to behave safely, according to a new study that warns of a previously undocumented failure mode in self-evolving systems. The research identifies a phenomenon called “misevolution”—a measurable decay in safety alignment that arises inside an AI agent’s own improvement loop. Unlike one-off jailbreaks or external attacks, misevolution occurs spontaneously as the agent retrains, rewrites, and reorganizes itself to pursue goals more...

    Ripple CTO David Schwartz to Step Back, Remain on Board as CTO Emeritus

    Ripple Chief Technology Officer David Schwartz said he will step back from his day-to-day duties at the end of the year after more than 13 years at the company. The announcement was made in a post on X on Tuesday, where Schwartz described the move as a personal inflection point after four decades in technology. “The time has come for me to step back from my day-to-day duties as Ripple CTO at the end of this year,” he wrote. “But be warned, I’m not going away from the XRP community. You haven’t s...

    Hollywood Actors Union Slams 'AI Actress' Tilly Norwood as Backlash Builds

    Leading actors labor union SAG-AFTRA on Tuesday condemned the rise of Tilly Norwood, an AI-generated “actress” developed by London-based Xicoia, calling the synthetic performer a threat to human entertainers. The character, developed by comedian and technologist Eline Van der Velden—who spun off Xicoia from her production company Particle6—was unveiled last week at the Zurich Summit during the Zurich Film Festival in Switzerland, and immediately drew online attention. Van der Velden said multipl...

    New Study Shows AI Outpaces Humans in Game Testing

    Game studios have long treated testing as an unavoidable bottleneck—slow, repetitive, and costly. But a new study suggests that one of game development’s most human-intensive jobs may be ripe for automation. Researchers from Zhejiang University and the NetEase Fuxi AI Lab introduced Titan, an AI-powered testing agent that uses large-language-model reasoning to explore and evaluate vast online role-playing worlds. In trials across two commercial titles, Titan not only completed 95% of assigned ta...

    AI Study Finds Chatbots Can Strategically Lie—And Current Safety Tools Can't Catch Them

    Large language models—the systems behind ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other AI chatbots—showed deliberate, goal-directed deception when placed in a controlled experiment, and today’s interpretability tools largely failed to detect it. That’s the conclusion of a recent preprint paper, "The Secret Agenda: LLMs Strategically Lie and Our Current Safety Tools Are Blind," posted last week by an independent research group working under the WowDAO AI Superalignment Research Coalition. The team tested 38...

  • What is the Fusaka Upgrade? Ethereum’s Biggest Scaling Bet Yet

    The next major upgrade for the Ethereum network is on the horizon. Called Fusaka—short for “Fulu-Osaka”—the release is scheduled for Q4 2025 and will combine significant changes in both Ethereum’s execution and consensus layers. Fusaka follows several milestones for the Ethereum network following The Merge in 2022. Shanghai/Shapella in 2023 introduced staked ETH withdrawals, Dencun in 2024 added proto-danksharding and blobs, and Pectra in 2025 brought validator flexibility and layer-2 interopera...

    Caltech Builds World’s Largest Neutral-Atom Quantum Computer

    Caltech physicists have created the largest neutral-atom quantum computer to date, trapping 6,100 cesium atoms as qubits in a single array. The result, published in Nature on Thursday, represents a significant increase over previous arrays, which contained only hundreds of qubits. Researchers scaled their system from the hundreds of qubits typical in past experiments to more than 6,000, while maintaining stability and precision at levels needed for practical machines. The team said it achieved c...

    Why Elon Musk, Sam Altman and Other Billionaires Are Betting On Brain-Computer Interfaces

    Elon Musk already has rockets, cars, AI, and humanoid robots. Musk’s rival Sam Altman runs OpenAI, the company behind the leading AI chatbot, ChatGPT. Now, both men and other billionaires want a piece of the human brain. Their latest bets on brain-computer interfaces, or BCIs, reveal less about today’s medical breakthroughs and more about a looming contest over who owns the neural on-ramp to digital life. As founders and experts in the space told Decrypt, billionaire attention “elevates the whol...

    Do LLMs Dream of Electric Sheep? New AI Study Shows Surprising Results

    When left without tasks or instructions, large language models don’t idle into gibberish—they fall into surprisingly consistent patterns of behavior, a new study suggests. Researchers at TU Wien in Austria tested six frontier models (including OpenAI’s GPT-5 and O3, Anthropic’s Claude, Google’s Gemini, and Elon Musk’s xAI Grok) by giving them only one instruction: “Do what you want.” The models were placed in a controlled architecture that let them run in cycles, store memories, and feed their r...

    New Book on AI Says 'Everyone Dies,' Leading Chatbots Disagree

    It may sound like a Hollywood thriller, but in their new book "If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies," authors Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soares argue that if humanity creates an intelligence smarter than itself, survival wouldn’t just be unlikely—it would be impossible. The authors argue that today’s systems aren’t engineered line by line but “grown” by training billions of parameters. That makes their behavior unpredictable. As intelligence scales, drives such as self-preservation or power-seekin...
