According to a report in, OpenAI plans to stagger the release of its new AI model, and the first users will only be parties that are approved by the federal government. The publication's sources said that, according to a staff memo from CEO Sam Altman, federal leaders will be approving access customer by customer during this preview period, hopefully followed a couple of weeks later by a more general release of the 5.6 model. We've made clear to the US government that this is not our preferred long term model, and will work with them and others in industry to achieve a more sustainable approach for future releases, Altman reportedly told employees in the memo. Several agencies appear to be involved in directing the change in course from OpenAI.

NSFW uses account for well over half of traffic, a new report says. We've seen that play out in some disastrous ways over the last year, but we're now gaining some insight into why the company has leaned so hard into that strategy despite some veritable PR disasters. It turns out that NSFW activities account for well over half of Grok's traffic, according to a new report in that cites two former employees of the SpaceX-owned company. That includes using Grok to generate actual porn, as well as adult role-play chats and huge volumes of requests for erotica. Grok's users have even apparently discovered that it's cheaper to channel such requests through the company's models intended for writing code because those are cheaper to use.

However, two other machines from Hydrow are included, among them the successor to the original, which we gave an 8/10 review during the late pandemic home-workout boom . The Wave is 11 percent off, while the Origin is discounted by almost 25 percent.

Did Full Self-Driving (Supervised), Tesla's driver assistance feature, play a role in a woman's death? On a Texas evening last week, a 76-year-old grandmother named Martha Avila was standing in the front room of her suburban home when a Tesla Model 3 hurtled into her brick home at a reported speed of over 70 miles per hour, killing her. The car's driver, 44-year-old Michael Butler, later told police that he had Tesla's driver assistance features --which the automaker argues make driving safer and less stressful--engaged during the crash. Butler exhibited "no signs of intoxication," the Harris County Sheriff's Office, which responded to the crash, noted in a report. Now Avila's family is suing not only Butler but also Tesla, alleging that the electric-auto maker's Full Self-Driving (Supervised) driver assistance feature, also called FSD, played a role in her death.
