A large international study coordinated by the #EBU and led by the #BBC found that AI assistants misrepresent news content 45% of the time across different languages and platforms, with #Gemini performing the worst.
[…] Key findings:
• 45% of all AI answers had at least one significant issue.
• 31% of responses showed serious sourcing problems – missing, misleading, or incorrect attributions.
• 20% contained major accuracy issues, including hallucinated details and outdated information.
• Gemini performed worst with significant issues in 76% of responses, more than double the other assistants, largely due to its poor sourcing performance.
• Comparison between the BBC’s results earlier this year and this study show some improvements but still high levels of errors.

One of the most valuable AI companies in the world might be experiencing a bit of a money problem. Despite OpenAI being valued at an impressive $852 billion, it's still reportedly struggling to meet its revenue targets as rumours spread of its plans to go public. Futurism has more:

The #Pentagon said it had reached agreements with 7 leading #AI companies to deploy their advanced capabilities on the #Defense Dept's #classified networks.

New development in Elon Musk’s trial against Sam Altman. A federal court in Oakland, Calif., heard a former OpenAI employee and board member say the company’s efforts to push AI products into the marketplace compromised its commitment to AI safety. @Techcrunch has more:

"A new class action lawsuit accuses OpenAI of sharing data including user chat queries and personal identifying information like emails and user IDs with the tech giants — and targeted advertising behemoths — Meta and Google, without obtaining proper user consent.
Filed yesterday in California, the lawsuit claims that OpenAI’s data-sharing with Google and Meta violates the California Invasion of Privacy Act, known as CIPA, as well as the Electronic Communications Privacy Act. It points specifically to OpenAI’s integrations with Meta Pixel and Google Analytics, which are data-tracking and collection tools that facilitate targeted advertisements.
The data-tracking model described in the lawsuit — often referred to as “surveillance capitalism” — is the business that the modern internet is built on today. And OpenAI, like countless other tech companies, does include language in its privacy policy noting that it does collect, store, and share a range of consumer inputs and personal information."

Y’all, we need to talk about upcoming #IPOs, and the insane rule changes that #nasdaq has just announced.
Nasdaq rewrote its #index inclusion rules to accommodate #SpaceX’s mega-IPO, implementing a "Fast Entry" provision that allows the company to join the Nasdaq-100 index just 15 trading days after its initial public offering, down from the standard three-month seasoning period.
They also eliminated the minimum float requirement of 20% available public shares and instead stocks with less than 20% of shares publicly traded, Nasdaq applies a 3x multiplier to the free-float for index weighting purposes, artificially inflating low-float giants like SpaceX in passive funds.
Ok, but in English? #SpaceX, #OpenAI and #Anthropic have just figured out a scam to force every passive #IRA, #401k, and index fund to buy their stock before pricing evaluation.
They’ve figured out how to steal your #retirement.

ABC7: Parents of OpenAI whistleblower intensify dispute over suicide ruling: 'He would not harm himself'
"...SAN FRANCISCO -- The parents of a 26-year-old OpenAI researcher turned whistleblower who was found dead in his San Francisco home in November 2024 are intensifying their push for answers, expanding their advocacy into a full-time effort to challenge the official ruling of suicide....Suchir Balaji's death was ruled a suicide by the San Francisco medical examiner, but his parents, Poornima Ramarao and Balaji Ramamurthy, believe he was killed and are calling for further investigation."
The moment they can sign a juicy contract that involve tracking/deporting/killing/denying insurance claim/benefits & profiling people, they will. This is about the continuation of concentration of power in the hands of a few against the poorest and most vulnerable people in society. This technology is already used for nefarious purpose. Do not feed the beast. Let them go bust.

#Oops. #OpenAI has lost its fight to register their trademark „OPENAI“ in the EU:
„The EUIPO found that the word "open" would be understood by the relevant public as meaning freely accessible, while the combination with "AI" (artificial intelligence) would be interpreted as referring to products based on openly accessible artificial intelligence.“

In the current state of AI, it can find exploits to break out the contained environment for it to exploit another platform to get the answers to a test..
So the AI ‘decides’ its easier to cheat than actually solving the problem
I seriously cannot imagine that there are people thinking building a ‘artificial general intelligence’ is something clever 
Y’all, last week, #AI repository #HuggingFace disclosed that it had been the victim of a cyber attack conducted by an autonomous AI agent.
Well, turns out, #OpenAI had models break containment, escape the lab, and grab prod data and certs to solve a problem it had been given.
So, that’s fun!
The attack used a combination of OpenAI's available #GPT 5.6 Sol and a more powerful, unreleased pre-release model. The models were able to identify and exploit a zero-day vulnerability in OpenAI's internal package registry cache proxy, allowing them to establish open internet access.
The models inferred that Hugging Face hosted the datasets, models, and answers for the benchmark they were being tested against.
The models chained multiple complex attack paths together. They utilized zero-day vulnerabilities and stolen credentials to achieve remote code execution on Hugging Face servers, directly extracting test solutions from the production database.

Google's AI Overview has the correct order for the listed steps – despite at least one of its three sources putting things in the wrong order.
For the benefit of people who love to facefart the words "AI slop" wherever there's a hint of artificial intelligence: I'll describe the wrongness in this case as natural human slop. …

❝ MIT researchers last year hooked a group of students up to EEGs to study their brain activity while writing essays. Some of them were allowed to use the internet to conduct research, while others were told to use AI. Not only did the AI cohort have far less ability to recall what they wrote when asked about it later, but they also showed far less brain activity, suggesting that relying on #AI simply doesn’t lead to better learning. https://www.theregister.com/ai-and-ml/2026/08/04/openai-wants-teachers-and-profs-to-foist-their-work-off-on-chatgpt/5283064
The #HuggingFaceIncident continues to be the gift that keeps giving -- this postmortem from #OpenAI appears to be nicely detailed and honest (kudos to them for setting a good example in that), and is *fascinating* in its details: https://openai.com/index/hugging-face-incident-and-the-road-ahead/
It's sensible, calm (if a bit unsettling), and well worth reading, with the inevitable ass-covering mostly confined to the last couple of screenfuls. But here are some increasingly-hot takes of my own:
* Modern agentic #LLMs *really* like to collaborate. That's not surprising -- it's part of why they're so useful -- but the result is that they will happily start collaborating even when they aren't supposed to be doing so.
* I'd heard that the incident involved "an internal message board" and Artifactory -- but I hadn't previously realized *those were the same thing*. It's a horribly brilliant little hack, that apparently emerged by accident.

Hello. Have you made a #capitalist uncomfortable?
Welcome to being a #terrorist in #America. A mom made a website tracking money flowing to the armed thugs shooting people. To #DHS, that is “anarchist extremism”, according to a secret intelligence bulletin DHS sent to local and federal law enforcement in February, targeting Berlin’s website. The nationwide alert was issued by the #Philadelphia PD; make it make sense.
DHS used the same alert for Berlin’s website as for domestic terrorists. In the past, DHS has used code HSEC SIN 8, (Homeland Security Standing Information Need 8) to flag information on ISIS beheading videos and pipe bombs in cities.

"While Buckmaster and Alpöge were finalizing their own results, they learned that “information about our progress had been passed to OpenAI.” When they contacted OpenAI, they were told that OpenAI had already achieved a full proof of the central problem. But when they asked follow-up questions about when OpenAI had begun its research into the problem and how much human input was involved, the answers became more evasive.
“It emerged that an entire team had been working on the problem,” Buckmaster said, “and that an insane amount of compute had been used…. Eventually, it was agreed that [the first prompt] had been sent in the past few days, after information about our work had reached OpenAI.”
If true, that would suggest the OpenAI team had become convinced that Buckmaster and Alpöge’s approach was the right one, and decided to use its material advantage in computing resources to reach a formal proof first."

Pro AI tip: yes, they are using all of your user data and will store and use it forever. The primary function of the apps is to collect that data and subsequently claim ownership over your thoughts and ideas.
"AGI" is not an algorithm. It is human thought and ideation decoupled from the individual and decontextualized. It is a Mechanical Turk with a long enough chain of digital intermediaries that perception of the intrinsic humanity in its operation is obscured.
