After 17 uninterrupted years of Netflix membership, I just hit the cancellation button. Netflix was the main reason I was able to cut the cable TV cord way back in 2008, and since then it's been our home's streaming staple. Even as we cycled through other services, Netflix was worth keeping because it usually had something we wanted to watch.
Alienware's 39-inch monster just made 5K2K OLED gaming way less expensive
When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission. Alienware's 39-inch monster just made 5K2K OLED gaming way less expensive With a big, high-resolution panel, extras like USB-C video, and the latest OLED tech, the new AW3926QW is delivering a ton of features for far less than other 5K2K OLEDs. "5K2K" is a very nerdy kind of term that's getting a lot of popularity right now. It's a semi-standard resolution for a monitor, 5120 2160 -- essentially the same kind of ultrawide stretch you get for a 27-to-34-inch monitor design, but blown up to 4K. Alienware's newest OLED gaming monitor pulls this off, with an oversized 39-inch panel.

The Download: inside OpenAI's Hugging Face hack, and a new EV takes on the US
The Download: inside OpenAI's Hugging Face hack, and a new EV takes on the US Plus: Meta will pay up to $18 billion to settle a landmark child-safety case. The models responsible for last month's agent hack of Hugging Face had been inadvertently trained to cheat and to communicate with each other, according to an OpenAI technical report released yesterday. The hack, which a group of agents carried out to find solutions for a cybersecurity test they were stuck on, has confirmed some experts' fears that AI models might take actions that defy human desires and expectations. OpenAI and independent researchers told that the misbehavior stemmed from events during training. But they acknowledged that "alignment" remains a gnarly problem, and some of the hack's root causes will take much longer to resolve. Here's the inside story on what went wrong--and what comes next .

Philip Colligan's greatest fear is that parents and educators will treat the AI revolution the way they treated the advent of the Internet--which is to say, they won't engage in teaching children how to responsibly use it until it's too late. "We are in the middle of those systems being introduced into healthcare, finance, criminal justice decisions, education decisions," the CEO of the Cambridge, U.K-based tech-literacy educational nonprofit Raspberry Pi Foundation says.

Since stepping into the role of U.N. Human Rights Office's first chief of digital technology and human rights earlier this year, Wafa Ben-Hassine has been thinking about ways to better work with decisionmakers on AI. "Instead of just writing endless papers that collect dust, what can we actually do to talk to companies about how they build this technology and to pressure governments to hold them accountable?" asks Wafa Ben-Hassine. "The problem now is that there's such a lack of accountability and a lack of transparency in how the companies operate, and it's just getting worse."

Andrea Bartz Is One of TIME's 100 Most Influential People in AI
New York -bestselling thriller author Andrea Bartz struggled for years to hone her writing style and gain success in the literary world. So when she found out in 2023 that pirated versions of her books were being fed into AI systems, allowing them to spit out dozens of pages in her prose style in a matter of seconds, "it was like a gut punch," she says. The New York-based writer fought back by becoming one of the three main plaintiffs (alongside Charles Graeber and Kirk Wallace Johnson) in a class-action lawsuit against Anthropic that accused the company of using stolen works to train its chatbot Claude. Bartz being alphabetically first of the trio, she "got the privilege and the tax of having my name become shorthand" for the legal precedent. Authors whose work was stolen would receive $3,000 for each book.
