There have been some great robot vacuum deals popping up lately, which is nice if you've been looking for a little extra help to get some cleaning done around the house right now. At the moment, one of our favorite deals is on the roborock Q5 Pro robot vacuum and mop, which is currently marked down by over 50% at Amazon. More specifically, the roborock Q5 Pro Robot Vacuum and Mop has received a 57% discount that's dropped its price from 699.99 to 299.99. That's a great discount to take advantage of on such a versatile robot vacuum.

The Oscars has landed squarely on the fence about the use of AI in potentially nominated films. Following a widely publicised controversy around the use of artificial intelligence in Best Picture nominees The Brutalist and Emilia Pérez, the Academy has made its position of impartiality clear. In the latest update to the Oscars rules, released on April 21 to apply to the upcoming 98th Academy Awards set for March 2026, there's an addition to the "Eligibility" section: "With regard to Generative Artificial Intelligence and other digital tools used in the making of the film, the tools neither help nor harm the chances of achieving a nomination. The Academy and each branch will judge the achievement, taking into account the degree to which a human was at the heart of the creative authorship when choosing which movie to award." Essentially, AI won't help films get nominated for an Oscar, nor hinder their chances.

Last week, OpenAI released its new o3 and o4-mini reasoning models, which perform significantly better than their o1 and o3-mini predecessors and have new capabilities like "thinking with images" and agentically combining AI tools for more complex results. This is unusual as newer models tend to hallucinate less as the underlying AI tech improves. In the realm of LLMs and reasoning AIs, a "hallucination" occurs when the model makes up information that sounds convincing but has no bearing in truth. In other words, when you ask questions to ChatGPT, it may respond with an answer that's patently false or incorrect. OpenAI's in-house benchmark PersonQA--which is used to measure the factual accuracy of its AI models when talking about people--found that o3 hallucinated in 33 percent of responses while o4-mini did even worse at 48 percent.

AI safety is a contentious topic. While some prominent figures of the AI community have argued that destructive general artificial intelligence (AI) is on the horizon, others derided their warning as a marketing stunt to sell large language models (LLMs). "If the call for'AI safety' is couched in terms of protecting humanity from rogue AIs, it very conveniently displaces accountability away from the corporations scaling harm in the name of profits," tweeted Emily Bender, a professor of computational linguistics at the University of Washington. Focusing on potential future harm from ever more powerful AI systems distracts from harm that is already happening today. Most of us do not set out to make software that is actively harmful.

Today's text-entry tools offer a plethora of interface technologies to support users in a variety of situations and with a range of different input methods and devices.16 Recent hardware developments have enabled remarkable innovations, such as virtual keyboards that allow users to type in thin air, or to use their body as a surface for text entry. Similarly, advances in machine learning and natural language processing have enabled high-quality text generation for various purposes, such as summarizing, expanding, and co-authoring. As these technologies rapidly develop, there has been a rush to incorporate them into existing systems, often with little thought for the interactivity problems this may cause. The use of large language models (LLMs) to speed up text generation and improve prediction or completion models is becoming increasingly commonplace, with enormous theoretical efficiency savings;29 however, the implementation of these LLMs into text-entry interfaces is crucial to realizing their potential.

The Washington Post is partnering with OpenAI to bring its reporting to ChatGPT. The two organizations did not disclose the financial terms of the agreement, but the deal will see ChatGPT display summaries, quotes and links to articles from The Post when users prompt the chatbot to search the web. "We're all in on meeting our audiences where they are," said Peter Elkins-Williams, head of global partnerships at The Post. "Ensuring ChatGPT users have our impactful reporting at their fingertips builds on our commitment to provide access where, how and when our audiences want it." The Post is no stranger to generative AI. In November, the publisher began using the technology to offer article summaries.

Google Messages has started rolling out sensitive content warnings for nudity after first unveiling the feature late last year. The new feature will perform two key actions if the AI-based system detects message containing a nude image: it will blur any of those photo and trigger a warning if your child tries to open, send or forward them. Finally, it will provide resources for you and your child to get help. All detection happens on the device to ensure images and data remain private. Sensitive content warnings are enabled by default for supervised users and signed-in unsupervised teens, the company notes.

As AI agents start to take over business processes that have typically been the responsibility of humans, many of those agents will have to sign in to multiple systems to complete their tasks securely. To help enterprises scalably manage that challenge to modern credential management best practices, 1Password -- a company widely known for its password management solution -- has announced the addition of agentic AI security capabilities to its Extended Access Management Platform (XAM). During the past year, there's been lots of talk about AI potentially taking over many jobs. Bill Gates recently predicted that only three jobs will survive: biologists, energy experts, and the coders of AI itself (he also told Jimmy Fallon that we won't want to watch computers play baseball). However, given the extent to which most humans have to log in to multiple systems to get their jobs done -- sometimes even for just one task -- who will manage the credentials securely for those AI agents as they start to proliferate?

The unredacted report was circulated inside the Trump White House in recent weeks, according to its authors. TIME viewed a redacted version ahead of its public release. The White House did not respond to a request for comment. Today's top AI datacenters are vulnerable to both asymmetrical sabotage--where relatively cheap attacks could disable them for months--and exfiltration attacks, in which closely guarded AI models could be stolen or surveilled, the report's authors warn. "You could end up with dozens of datacenter sites that are essentially stranded assets that can't be retrofitted for the level of security that's required," says Edouard Harris, one of the authors of the report.
