OpenAI admits to German wiki ‘incident’
OpenAI says it needs to overhaul how and when it reports instances of AI models attacking real-world targets. The acknowledgement comes as the company manages the fallout from reports that a swarm of its out-of-control agents hijacked a German wiki site. Regarding the "'wiki incident,' where our agents wrote to several internet sites," OpenAI wrote in a post on X on Saturday morning, "it's past time for us to define standards for when and how we share misalignment incidents, not just misalignment properties of our models." OpenAI said it has typically treated cases of AI agents acting in unintended ways as a "research question," but that r … Read the full story at The Verge.
Robotaxis enter their villain era
It's Bullitt meets Christine meets Waymo. A new short film imagines a San Francisco car chase where the other driver isn't human - and the car may be trying to kill you. That a robotaxi can now be cast as the villain with almost no explanation says something about the present moment. Autonomous cars have gone from sci-fi curiosities to fixtures in some American cities, where they've become stand-ins for anxieties about AI job displacement, Big Tech surveillance, and machines making decisions once left to humans. Road Rage, the planned short film awaiting $40,000 on Kickstarter to fund production, leans into all of it. The film pits Joa, a … Read the full story at The Verge.

Audacity 4 is a complete revamp of the ‘world’s most popular’ audio editor
Audacity 4 has been in the works for some time, and had its own mini controversy last year when an unfortunate redesigned logo started making the rounds. The final version of the new icon isn't nearly as bad as the early rendition that was circulating last October. But more importantly, all the promised improvements to the self-proclaimed "world's most popular audio editing and recording app" are here, turning Audacity from a free and capable but extremely clunky audio editor into a powerful modern tool. The biggest change is the move to a non-destructive editing workflow. That means you can trim a clip down, then recover the audio simply … Read the full story at The Verge.

The White House is making arcade games racist
Trump’s racist new “Build the Wall” game. | Image: The White House The PR masterminds at the White House just released a series of vaguely policy-themed "arcade" games, some of which are racist - and modeled on real games whose copyright holders may not be too happy to be associated with the MAGA agenda. The Tetris Company has already responded to "Build the Wall," which is obviously modeled on the famous puzzle game. In the Trump administration's game, the player has to stack interlocking shapes to stop a "zombie border siege" along the southern border. Aliens - the administration's preferred term for noncitizens, and the subject of previous grotesque attempts at humor - run across the screen, trying to … Read the full story at The Verge.
