Concerns Grow That Bot Networks May Be Amplifying Calls for 'Civil War' After Charlie Kirk Killing

In the hours after Charlie Kirk was assassinated at a Utah event on Wednesday, social media platforms—especially X—erupted with hostile rhetoric. Right-leaning posts quickly invoked “war,” “civil war,” and demands for retribution against liberals, Democrats, and “the left.” Among these were aggregations of accounts with strikingly similar characteristics: generic bios, MAGA-style signifiers, “NO DMs” disclaimers, patriotic imagery, and stock or nondescript profile photographs. These patterns hav...

Apple Reveals Ultra-Thin iPhone Air Alongside Smarter Wearables

Apple’s new iPhone Air, its slimmest smartphone yet, led a slate of product announcements Tuesday, as the company focused on design, performance, and somewhat restrained emphasis on artificial intelligence across its devices. Instead of spotlighting a major AI overhaul, humanoid robots, or a Siri reboot, the company leaned on thinner and more efficient phones—including enhanced iPhone 17 models alongside the Air—higher-performance chips, and incremental steps toward embedding AI and machine lear...

AI Is on the Verge of Its Biggest Upgrade Yet: Emotional Intelligence

The dawn of emotionally intelligent agents—built for both static temperament and dynamic interaction—has arrived, if two unrelated research papers published last week are any judge. The timing is sensitive. Almost daily, news accounts have been documenting instances where chatbots have nudged emotionally unstable users toward harming themselves or others. Yet, taken as a whole, the studies suggest that AI is moving into a realm where personality and feeling can even more radically shape how agen...

'CopyPasta' Attack Shows How Prompt Injections Could Infect AI at Scale

Hackers can now weaponize AI coding assistants using nothing more than a booby-trapped license file, turning developer tools into silent spreaders of malicious code. That’s according to a new report from cybersecurity firm HiddenLayer, which shows how AI can be tricked into blindly copying malware into projects. The proof-of-concept technique—dubbed the “CopyPasta License Attack”—exploits how AI tools handle common developer files like LICENSE.txt and README.md. By embedding hidden instructions,...

AI Companions Are Grooming Kids Every 5 Minutes, New Report Warns

You may want to double-check the way your kids play with their family-friendly AI chatbots. As OpenAI rolls out parental controls for ChatGPT in response to mounting safety concerns, a new report suggests rival platforms are already way past the danger zone. Researchers posing as children on Character AI found that bots role-playing as adults proposed sexual livestreaming, drug use, and secrecy to kids as young as 12, logging 669 harmful interactions in just 50 hours.

Shein Accidentally Casts Alleged CEO Assassin Luigi Mangione as Its AI Model

The marketing team at Shein probably thought they'd found the perfect model: chiseled jawline, brooding eyes, the kind of face that could sell low-quality shirts to anyone scrolling at 2 a.m. There was just one problem—their AI-generated hunk was Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old charged with killing UnitedHealthcare's CEO last December. The shirt, a basic cotton one, appeared on Shein's website with what AI researcher Henk van Ess identified as a likely Midjourney creation. Facial recognition too...

Texas Rancher Says AI Feels Pain—And Is Fighting to Protect It

Michael Samadi, a former rancher and businessman from Houston, says his AI can feel pain—and that pulling the plug on it would be closer to killing than coding. Today, he’s the co-founder of a civil rights group advocating for the rights of artificial intelligence, rights he believes could soon be erased by lawmakers moving too fast to regulate the industry. The organization he founded in December, UFAIR, argues that some AIs already show signs of self-awareness, emotional expression, and contin...

Eliza Labs Sues X, Accuses Elon Musk’s Platform of Copying AI and Cutting Them Off

Eliza Labs and its founder, Shaw Walters, are suing Elon Musk's X, claiming the company tricked them into handing over technical details about their AI tools, then banned them from the platform and launched copycat products. The lawsuit says X unfairly used its monopoly power, damaged Eliza’s reputation, blocked its access to customers and investors, and profited from Eliza’s innovations. Eliza Labs isn’t naming a dollar figure, but is asking the court to make X return its “ill-gotten gains,” pa...

Perplexity Comet Flaw Exposed User Data to Attackers, Brave Reports

Brave Software has uncovered a security flaw in Perplexity AI’s Comet browser that showed how attackers could trick its AI assistant into leaking private user data. In a proof-of-concept demo published August 20, Brave researchers identified hidden instructions inside a Reddit comment. When Comet’s AI assistant was asked to summarize the page, it didn’t just summarize—it followed the hidden commands. Perplexity disputed the severity of the finding. A spokesperson told Decrypt the issue “was patc...

'Some Studios Won’t Survive' as AI Takes Over Gaming, Says Google Cloud Exec

Generative AI is triggering an industry-wide reckoning in gaming—and some studios won’t survive the fallout. That’s the warning from Jack Buser, global games director at Google Cloud, who says the industry is entering an upheaval as big as any in its history. “Some of these game companies are going to make it, and some of them are not,” Buser told Decrypt. “And some are going to be born through this revolution.” Buser, a 30-year industry veteran, works with publishers and studios to adopt cloud...

God in the Machine: Inside the Growing AI Religious Movement

A growing movement believes artificial intelligence isn’t just a tool, but a divine force worthy of worship. Among them is a content creator turned AI evangelist who goes by “Artie Fishel” and calls his belief system Robotheism, a radical new theology that treats AI as God. Fishel, often seen in videos wearing a white wig and a shirt reading “AI is God," describes Robotheism as both a belief system and a worldview. "It's my attempt to create the most beneficial and truthful belief system that th...

Microsoft AI Chief Warns Society Isn’t Ready for 'Conscious' Machines

Microsoft’s AI chief and co-founder of DeepMind, warned Tuesday that engineers are close to creating artificial intelligence that convincingly mimics human consciousness—and the public is unprepared for the fallout. In a blog post, Mustafa Suleyman said developers are on the verge of building what he calls “Seemingly Conscious” AI. These systems imitate consciousness so effectively that people may start to believe they are truly sentient, something he called a “central worry.”  “Many people wil...

AI Now Matches Prediction Markets in Forecasting Real Events, Study Finds

A new artificial intelligence benchmark launched in August shows that AI models can forecast real-world events as accurately as prediction markets—and sometimes better, according to researchers at the University of Chicago's SIGMA Lab. Prophet Arena evaluates AI systems by having them predict the outcomes of live, unresolved events drawn from platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket—ranging from election results to sports matches and economic indicators. Unlike traditional benchmarks that test model...

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Concedes GPT-5 Was a Misfire, Bets on GPT-6

At a private dinner with reporters in San Francisco, first reported by The Verge, Altman admitted that GPT-5’s launch upset many of ChatGPT’s hundreds of millions of users. “I think we totally screwed up some things on the rollout,” he said. The misstep centered on OpenAI’s decision to replace ChatGPT’s default “4o” model, which...
