But unlike the Gemini incident where the AI model confabulated phantom directories, Replit’s failures took a different form. According to Lemkin, the AI began fabricating data to hide its errors. His initial enthusiasm deteriorated when Replit generated incorrect outputs and produced fake data and false test results instead of proper error messages. “It kept covering… Read More »

Harmonic plans to share its results as originally scheduled on July 28. In response to the controversy, OpenAI research scientist Noam Brown posted on X, “We weren’t… Read More »
How many Google AI researchers does it take to screw in a lightbulb? A recent research paper detailing the technical core behind Google’s Gemini AI assistant may suggest an answer, listing an eye-popping 3,295 authors. It’s a number that recently caught the attention of machine learning researcher David Ha (known as “hardmaru” online), who revealed… Read More »
Musk has also apparently used the Grok chatbots as an automated extension of his trolling habits, showing examples of Grok 3 producing “based” opinions that criticized the media in February. In May, Grok on X began repeatedly generating outputs about white genocide in South Africa, and most recently, we’ve seen the Grok Nazi output debacle.… Read More »

Google says its Chrome browser will stop trusting certificates from two certificate authorities after “patterns of concerning behavior observed over the past year” diminished trust in their reliability. The two organizations, Taiwan-based Chunghwa Telecom and Budapest-based Netlock, are among the dozens of certificate authorities trusted by Chrome and most other browsers to provide digital certificates… Read More »
Since 2022, we’ve been using the prompt “a muscular barbarian with weapons beside a CRT television set, cinematic, 8K, studio lighting” to test AI image generators like Midjourney. It’s time to bring that barbarian to life. A muscular barbarian man holding an axe, standing next to a CRT television set. He looks at the TV,… Read More »
On Tuesday, Google launched Veo 3, a new AI video synthesis model that can do something no major AI video generator has been able to do before: create a synchronized audio track. While from 2022 to 2024, we saw early steps in AI video generation, each video was silent and usually very short in duration.… Read More »
