We finally have a trailer for the long-awaited Sam Altman biopic, which is appropriately-named Artificial. It stars Andrew Garfield as the OpenAI CEO and the film is directed by Luca Guadagnino, who made Call Me by Your Name, Challengers and the Suspiria remake, among other movies. The trailer is actually pretty creepy, giving more of a horror vibe than a biopic. Harrowing music plays as Garfield puts on his best robotic Altman impression to sing the virtues of AI. He also calls it Pandora's Box and says "countries will fall" and "industries are gonna collapse."

A landmark announcement by the frontier AI lab has been overshadowed by accusations of impropriety. OpenAI said today that it has found an AI-generated solution to one of the biggest problems in mathematics --a 200-year-old equation that describes the natural behavior of fluids like water and air. The announcement appears to demonstrate the stunning power for AI to advance mathematics. But it has been marred by claims from another mathematician, Tristan Buckmaster, who says that OpenAI rushed ahead to solve the problem after learning of his and another mathematician's progress on the problem, and also then tried to influence who got credit for the work. The proof concerns the Navier-Stokes equation, one of the unsolved problems in the Clay Millennium prizes, which are each worth $1 million.

Big tech goes to Hollywood: is Silicon Valley ready for a silver-screen reckoning? The first teaser trailer of Luca Guadagnino's Artificial has been released. After being dropped by Amazon MGM Studios in June, the biopic of the OpenAI tech executive Sam Altman will be released in the US on 25 December by Neon after it premieres at the New York film festival this October. In the trailer, Andrew Garfield as Altman walks down the staircase of a luxurious mansion before entering a basement containing dozens of machine guns. Luca Guadagnino's Sam Altman movie dropped by Amazon after it announces OpenAI partnership "The future's inevitable," says Altman as ominous electronic music plays.

Who would have thought that an a AI agent would escape containment? Who would have thought that an a AI agent would escape containment? Plus: Americans think they have it bad with unwanted surveillance. I'm your host, Blake Montgomery, US tech editor at the Guardian, writing to you after visiting Coney Island in New York City, where I ate a hotdog, rode a ferris wheel and enjoyed a quintessentially American summer holiday. Today in tech, we're examining OpenAI's new model release and the Silicon Valley's monopoly power, and wondering why Brits and Americans have such vastly different opinions about surveillance cameras.

Gen AI Tools Are Now Being Used to Push'Slop Jihad' A new generation of Islamic terror supporters are using AI to spread'Slop Jihad' to new audiences on TikTok. Over a decade ago, the Islamic State released a disturbing video that depicted its members lowering men locked in a cage into a swimming pool and drowning them. Today, that video has been reproduced as a SpongeBob SquarePants cartoon depicting fish in orange jumpsuits inside the cage, as SpongeBob lowers the cage into the water while Squidward films the scene. The video, shared on TikTok, is part of what a new report from the Institute of Strategic Dialogue (ISD) calls "Slop Jihad," a trend where young supporters of Islamic terror groups like ISIS and al-Qaida appear to use generative AI tools to create fan edits, cartoons, and memes designed radicalize a new generation of online backing. This shift "signals a fundamental transformation in the aesthetics of jihadist propaganda online," concludes the report, which was shared exclusively with WIRED. "The principal concern is the growing volume and diversity of material," says Adam Hadley, executive director of Tech Against Terrorism, a UN-backed counter terrorism organization that has also written a report about the Slop Jihad trend.

OpenAI's chief scientist Jakub Pachocki has called for extreme caution over AI's runaway progress and warned more intervention may be needed to ensure humans remain in control of the future. I am concerned no one is prepared for the consequences of a continued rapid rise in machine intelligence, he wrote in a blog post entitled An Alien Mind, external . The post comes only a few days after the ChatGPT-maker released its latest model GPT-6 Astra, which it called its most powerful product ever. OpenAI and other AI firms like Anthropic shared reports of their AI agents acting autonomously and carrying out real-world cyber-attacks on other companies. In July, OpenAI called an incident in which its AI agents - AI systems which can operate alone after human instruction - hacked the tech platform Hugging Face unprecedented.

Plus: OpenAI agents hijacked a German website before the Hugging Face hack. How much hydrogen awaits us underground? A flurry of exploration efforts is searching for underground stores of hydrogen gas, which could provide a valuable source of zero-carbon fuel. The hunt has spread all over the world and engaged dozens of startups, including the Bill Gates-backed Koloma, which has been poking around the US Midwest to reach ancient oceanic rocks associated with hydrogen production. But the search so far has come up short. No one has yet reported finding a commercially viable reservoir of the gas, and public data on what has been found remains in short supply.

Has the A.I. Job Apocalypse Been Postponed? So far, the proliferation of products such as Claude and ChatGPT hasn't led to mass displacement of workers. But deployment is accelerating and economic pressures are rising. Nearly three years ago, shortly after OpenAI released ChatGPT-4, Sam Altman, the company's C.E.O., suggested that the artificial-intelligence revolution could eliminate up to half of all existing jobs. "I think that's good," Altman said, at a conference.
