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

After public backlash over GPT-5’s rollout, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman admitted the company “screwed up,” and said the fallout is already shaping the next version of ChatGPT.

AI Agents Are Taking Over Game Development: Google

Nearly nine in 10 game developers say they’ve already built AI agents into their work, according to a new Google Cloud survey.

The survey, conducted in collaboration with The Harris Poll, polled 615 developers across the United States, South Korea, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. It found that 97% of respondents believe that AI agents—autonomous programs that...

On Tuesday, CEO Sam Altman effectively conceded the point, announcing that OpenAI is rolling back its all-in approach and re-opening access to a grab bag of older models.

Family of Ex-OpenAI Researcher Turn to Crypto to Fund Disputed Death Probe

The family of a former OpenAI researcher found dead in his San Francisco apartment in November 2024 is using Solana-based meme coins to help finance their legal battle with the city. While the medical examiner ruled Suchir Balaji's death a suicide and found no evidence of foul play, Balaji’s parents have rejected that conclusion, calling the scene “staged” and have launched their own investigation into what they allege was a botched and allegedly covered-up probe.

OpenAI GPT-5 Review: Built to Win Benchmarks, Not Hearts

OpenAI finally dropped GPT-5 last week, after months of speculation and a cryptic Death Star teaser from Sam Altman that didn't age well. The company called GPT-5 its "smartest, fastest, most useful model yet," throwing around benchmark scores that showed it hitting 94.6% on math tests and 74.9% on real-world coding tasks. Altman himself said the model felt like having a team of PhD-level experts on call, ready to tackle anything from quantum physics to creative writing. The initial reception sp...

Sam Altman's OpenAI Crushes Elon Musk's Grok in AI Chess Championship

Sam Altman's OpenAI o3 model—which was deprecated late last week with the release of GPT-5—demolished Elon Musk's Grok 4 in four straight games Thursday to win Google's Kaggle Game Arena AI Chess Exhibition. You may think it was a super complex spectacle of high tech behemoths putting their reasoning to the ultimate test, but as an appetizer, let’s say world champion Magnus Carlsen compared both bots to "a talented kid who doesn't know how the pieces move."
