More Anthropic researchers warn of AI's perils as Musk terms fears a'psyop' Insiders at the firm fear tech's advancement could cause human extinction while others are calling it a'setup' A day after a former researcher at Anthropic made an apocalyptic declaration about artificial intelligence, more researchers and staff members at the AI startup publicly agreed with him and posted their own dire warnings. In response, Elon Musk and other conservative figures on X, formerly Twitter, called the chorus of concerns a "setup" and a "psyop". The Anthropic insiders fear the technology they are building could become so advanced and dangerous as to cause human extinction within the decade, and they assert many of their colleagues feel the same but haven't said so publicly. These researchers and staff are posting in response to a now-viral thread from Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon, who said on Wednesday he was resigning from the company because neither Anthropic nor its competitor OpenAI, also his former employer, were building AI models responsibly and are "gambling with our lives". OpenAI not on track to reduce risk of'catastrophic' loss of control, says board member Anna Wang, who works on Artificial General Intelligence Safety at Anthropic and previously worked at Google's DeepMind, said Thursday that many people at Anthropic want to slow down development to come up with a plan to mitigate the risks that could come with these AI models.

PCWorld tested the new Google Gemini app for Windows and found it falls short of expectations, lacking deep integration with Google services like Gmail and Google Drive. The app cannot perform basic tasks such as deleting emails or sorting files, making it less capable than competitors like ChatGPT. Overall, the Gemini Windows app currently offers limited practical value and may not be worth users' time in its present state. A few months ago, Google released the Gemini app for macOS as a one-stop shop for accessing Google content.

The tech giant is crying to be regulated while dodging investigation after investigation. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is about to testify before the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee to examine winning the AI race during a hearing in Washington DC, USA, on May 8, 2025. Get your news from a source that's not owned and controlled by oligarchs. A Republican-led Senate subcommittee on disaster management is now investigating the July incident where OpenAI's autonomous models hacked Hugging Face, another AI startup, during internal testing. Axios first reported the Senate probe on Thursday, providing a letter by Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), the chair of the Subcommittee on Disaster Management, to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman from a day before. Citing an August investigation from Model Evaluation and Threat Research and Redwood Research, two nonprofit research organizations, Hawley wrote to Altman that OpenAI knew that its agents were "exhibiting rogue behavior" but continued its internal testing anyway--an act he described as "reckless" to the degree of necessitating a Senate investigation.

Anthropic--saying that both that company and OpenAI, his previous employer, were "gambling with our lives" by developing models that could improve themselves at a rapid clip until they reach "superintelligence." In an alarming social media post, Evan Hubinger, who leads a team that tries to stress-test Anthropic's models for safety, essentially It's far from the first time researchers have tried to raise the alarm about AI's dangers, but Coxon's post and subsequent discourse went viral.

From Meta Muse and Gemini Spark to ChatGPT Work and Claude Cowork, a new class of AI agents needs a different prompting style than regular AI chatbots do. Right now, it's all about AI agents, and we just got another one, this time from Facebook parent Meta. Meta Muse is the name of Meta's new, cloud-based AI agent, and like Gemini Spark, ChatGPT Work, and Claude Cowork, Meta Muse doesn't just sit in a chatbox.

OpenAI not on track to reduce risk of'catastrophic' loss of control, says board member US government adviser Paul Christiano warns of risks to AI industry as he joins OpenAI's non-profit foundation OpenAI is not on track to reduce the risk of "catastrophic" loss of control to an acceptable level, a member of its non-profit board has said, amid spreading public and political concern that super-advanced AIs could one day wipe out humanity. Paul Christiano, a US government technology adviser, said: "There is a meaningful risk that rapid acceleration in AI capabilities leads to catastrophic and irreversible loss of control in the very near term." He added: "I do not think that the AI industry in general, including OpenAI, is currently on track to reduce this risk to an acceptable level." Christiano used to run model alignment at OpenAI and made the statement on Wednesday as he joined the board of the San Francisco company's non-profit foundation.

The AI pendulum has swung back and forth throughout the last few years, from ChatGPT and Copilot in the cloud, then back to local AI and the PC's newfound NPU, then back to independent agents like Claude. Now it's headed the way of the PC once again, abandoning privacy arguments (which still stand strong!) for a more straightforward argument: It's better for your wallet.

When iOS 27 arrives, it will bring with it a fully revamped assistant for your iPhone. Siri made its debut on the iPhone in 2011, five years ahead of Google Assistant and 11 years before ChatGPT would open up to the public. Despite the head start, Apple's voice AI has been comprehensively overtaken in recent years, and made to look rather primitive compared to the many generative AI rivals it's now up against. With the launch of iOS 27, Apple and Siri are fighting back. There's a new name-- Siri AI --and a host of new capabilities that are coming to your iPhone.
