One reason I took a break from ChatGPT a few months ago (I'm back now) was how sick to death I got of its constant emojis, especially when it came to lists. The brain emoji was my least favorite, along with the green checkmarks, the pointy fingers, and the yellow "hazard" signs. Well, I'll believe it when I see it, but with its latest "instant" model, OpenAI promises that we'll be getting way less of those "gratuitous" emojis in ChatGPT's responses.

New artificial intelligence (AI) tools and capabilities from Google, Microsoft and xAI will now be tested by the US Department of Commerce before they are released to the public. The tech firms have agreed to voluntarily submit their models for testing through Commerce's Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI). The new pacts are an expansion on agreements by AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic that were reached during the Biden Administration, and will see AI models from all of the companies evaluated for their capabilities and security. These expanded industry collaborations help us scale our work in the public interest at a critical moment, CAISI's director Chris Fall said. Overall, the evaluations of the AI tools will cover testing, collaborative research and best practice development related to commercial AI systems.

Tech giants Microsoft, Google and xAI say they will allow the United States federal government access to their new artificial intelligence models for national security testing. The Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI) at the Department of Commerce announced the agreement on Tuesday amid increasing concerns about the capabilities that Anthropic's newly unveiled Mythos model could give hackers. The agreement fulfils a pledge the administration of US President Donald Trump made in July to partner with technology companies to vet their AI models for "national security risks". Microsoft will work with US government scientists to test AI systems "in ways that probe unexpected behaviors", the company said in a statement. Together they will develop shared data sets and workflows for testing the company's models, the company said.

NHS England is pulling its open-source software from the internet because of fears around computer-hacking AI models like Mythos. A decision by NHS England to withdraw open-source code created with UK taxpayer funds because of the risk posed by computer-hacking AI models is attracting growing backlash. Last month, Mythos, an AI created by technology firm Anthropic, was widely reported to be capable of discovering flaws in virtually any software, potentially allowing hackers to break into systems running it. NHS England has now told staff that existing and future software must be pulled from public view and kept behind closed doors by 11 May because of this risk. The decision goes against the NHS service standard, which requires that staff make any software they produce open-source so that tools can be built upon, improved and used without the need for duplicated effort.

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick claims consoles are Rockstar's "core consumer" for Grand Theft Auto 6, justifying the delayed PC release strategy. PCWorld highlights that leaked data contradicts this narrative, showing PC accounts for 46% of GTA 5 sales between 2021-2026. The console-first approach appears to be a business tactic to encourage double purchases rather than addressing technical limitations. Did you know you can just say things that aren't true and there's nothing anyone can do about it? Check this out: "My dog has six legs." Bam, look at all the consequences I'm not facing for fibbing to you. In 2026, you can do this to an audience of millions--even in a courtroom or congressional hearing after swearing an oath--and nothing happens. On a completely different and unrelated note: Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick gave an interview to Bloomberg discussing the company's upcoming, in which he claimed that PC isn't the company's "core consumer." "Rockstar always starts on console because I think with regard to a release like that, you're judged by serving the core," Zelnick told Bloomberg .

The voice actors from the original film have returned for the sequel--and not everyone is happy about it. One thing is certain about: The ambitious undertaking of making a sequel of a cult status film after 20 years has succeeded, at least as far as box office figures are concerned. The numbers speak for themselves, with $77 million generated in US theaters and another $157 million in the rest of the world since its April 29 release. In the face of such a box office smash, this installment has inspired heated debates for days about its quality and comparisons to the original. In Italy, those arguments even extend to the dubbing of the film. The controversy stems from the choice of voice actors in the Italian version of, who are themselves a nod to continuity; it's the same cast as the original.
