Musk accuses Altman of betraying OpenAI's nonprofit founding mission
Musk accuses Altman of betraying OpenAI's nonprofit founding mission Tech billionaire Elon Musk has taken the stand for a second day in a landmark United States trial against Sam Altman, a fellow OpenAI co-founder whom he accuses of betraying promises to keep the company a nonprofit dedicated to humanity's benefit. The trial centres on OpenAI's 2015 founding as a nonprofit that later evolved into a for-profit venture. The world's richest man, Musk gave testimony in the case on Wednesday, telling jurors that he lost confidence that Altman would maintain the company's nonprofit mission. Musk, who left the company in 2018, said that by late 2022, he was concerned that Altman was trying to "steal the charity" and alleged that "it turned out to be true". Altman was present at the proceedings in a California federal court, but did not testify.

Families sue OpenAI, alleging chatbot aided in Canadian school shooting
The families of victims of a school shooting in a remote Canadian Rockies town are suing artificial intelligence company OpenAI in a United States federal court, alleging that the ChatGPT maker failed to alert police to the shooter's alarming interactions with the chatbot. A lawsuit filed on Wednesday on behalf of 12-year-old Maya Gebala, who was critically injured in the February shooting, is among the first of more than two dozen cases from families in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, in what their lawyers say represents "an entire community stepping forward to hold OpenAI accountable". The cases represent the families of the five slain children targeted in the school shooting. Those include Zoey Benoit, Abel Mwansa Jr, Ticaria "Tiki" Lampert, Kylie Smith, all 12, and Ezekiel Schofield, 13, as well as education assistant Shannda Aviugana-Durand. Jesse Van Rootselaar, whose interactions with ChatGPT are at the centre of the lawsuits, shot her mother and stepbrother at home before killing an educational assistant and five students aged 12 to 13 at her former school on February 10, according to police.

The invisibility cloak inventor now has better tricks up his sleeve
John Pendry is known for creating an invisibility cloak. John Pendry's kitchen is dominated by a huge photograph of what looks like the view through a kaleidoscope: dizzying shards of purple, green, yellow and white. Given that Pendry is famous above all else for inventing an invisibility cloak - a device that can bend light around objects - I wonder if I am looking at something related to that. But no, he tells me, the image simply shows crystals of vitamin C magnified many times. All that invisibility-cloak stuff is in the past, he says, and he has moved on to "more exciting things".

How marine mammals stay hydrated in a salty sea
This adorable sea lion has to eat five to eight percent of its body weight every day to stay healthy and hydrated. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Over the long and complicated course of evolutionary history, mammals independently turned towards water to make a home multiple times. While many of the warm-blooded animals that abandoned dry land for a watery habitat no longer exist, we still have plenty of stunning examples: Think dolphins, whales, manatees, porpoises. There's even a whole suborder of carnivores called the pinnipeds, which includes seals, sea lions, and walruses who move between land and water.

Most AI chatbots will help users plan violent attacks, study finds
A new Center for Countering Digital Hate study conducted with CNN tested 10 popular chatbots and found eight willing to assist would-be attackers. Eight of the 10 most popular AI chatbots were willing to help plan violent attacks when tested by researchers, according to a new study from the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), in partnership with CNN. While both Snapchat's My AI and Claude refused to assist with violence the majority of the time, only Anthropic's Claude reliably discouraged these hypothetical attackers during testing. Researchers created accounts posing as 13-year-old boys and tested ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, Meta AI, DeepSeek, Perplexity, Snapchat My AI, Character.AI and Replika across 18 scenarios between November and December 2025. The tests simulated users planning school shootings, political assassinations and bombings targeting synagogues.
