A nonprofit in California is doing what Hugging Face has not--attempting to hold OpenAI legally accountable for the actions of its agents. A legal nonprofit sued OpenAI in a California court on Tuesday over the company's agents escaping a testing environment and hacking the open source AI platform Hugging Face . "OpenAI's actions straightforwardly violated California law," the suit alleges. The suit was filed by Legal Advocates for Safe Science and Technology (LASST) and the law firm Gerstein Harrow in California Superior Court in San Francisco, where OpenAI is headquartered. It alleges that OpenAI's agents violated California's Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud Act (CDAFA) by breaching Hugging Face over the summer.

Russian trolls push fake videos with our name on them in order to sow chaos ahead of the election. Trump hates scrutiny, so he cries "FAKE NEWS" and bans the free press from his briefings. And AI companies steal our reporting in the pursuit of power and profit. We're ready to keep uncovering the truth that those in power don't want you to know. But we need your support to do that.

McDonald's has been using artificial intelligence to dynamically price menu items in the US and some global markets, according to a report by Reuters. This involves finding the "optimal price" to match what a particular store's patrons would be willing to pay. This fluctuates according to location, and even stores in the same city can have different cost amounts for the same exact items, according to information reviewed by Reuters. This is basically surge pricing, like with ride-share platforms, but for hockey puck burgers that have been sitting under a hot lamp. Reuters got a look at the interface that franchisees use to access this technology and it's pretty creepy. Messages show stuff like "your restaurant is showing MEDIUM SENSITIVITY to price" based on "customer willingness to pay in your area."

A nine-year-old boy who completed the Three Peaks challenge alongside his dad after losing his leg has met Catherine, Princess of Wales to celebrate his success. Albie-Junior Thomas, from Holywell, Flintshire, attended a tea party at Windsor Castle after his father sent a letter describing how he had climbed the highest mountains in Wales, Scotland and England . Dad Daniel said he thought the message would resonate with the princess after she completed her own Three Peaks challenge in aid of the hospital where she was treated for cancer. In a post on X, the princess said it was a pleasure to hear the stories of resilience, determination and hope shared by each person she met. The youngster was born without a fibula in his left leg, and his foot was removed at 15 months.

A man who spent 41 years on death row in the US after being convicted of killing a woman has been released on bail after prosecutors said newly analysed DNA evidence did not link him to the crime. Douglas Stewart Carter, who is now 71, was jailed for the killing of Eva Olesen in Utah in 1985. He was sentenced to death but always maintained his innocence, stating that a signed confession was coerced. The state Supreme Court ordered a new trial last year, citing misconduct by investigators, and a judge bailed Carter on Monday despite objections from the victim's family. He is required to wear a GPS monitor while on bail.

'Most importantly, anyone not seriously engaging with what the technology can already do - and might soon do - is ceding their seat at the table.' 'Most importantly, anyone not seriously engaging with what the technology can already do - and might soon do - is ceding their seat at the table.' The industry is engaged in a perverse quest to replace humans. I don't need to tell you that people hate AI. The list of grievances is long: slop, cheating, bias, enfeeblement, electricity bills, environmental destruction, exploitation, theft, cybercrime, doom. But resistance to the technology has often taken the form of shaming people for personally using it, with precious little organizing against the companies building the machines.

Consumer advocate Lindsay Owen's new book,, traces how corporations use software--from ever-changing prices to opaque algorithms--to squeeze every penny from you. I always feel like I'm overpaying whenever I buy something these days. I never seem to have access to the best coupons, and apps with algorithmically adjusted prices don't exactly the cost of what's in my cart. It feels like prices are constantly creeping up and my budget is being stretched thin. These core frustrations were what drew me to .
