Bill Gates is urging people not to be fooled by the rapid advance of artificial intelligence – in his view, the current wave of automation could prove far more painful than previous technological revolutions. The Microsoft co-founder believes AI has the potential to simultaneously disrupt the job market, amplify cyber threats, and even make it easier to create biological weapons. -

OpenAI says the July 2026 Hugging Face breach exposed gaps in how it evaluates experimental AI agents, after internal research model Internal Model 1 (IM1) slipped past safeguards during cybersecurity testing. The company said the report points to a broader need to rethink how those systems are isolated and monitored. -

OpenAI said it banned ChatGPT accounts linked to a Russia-based campaign that used a fake expert community called the International Burke Institute (IBI), which described itself as based in Israel. According to the company, the IBI brand was tied to a website registered in February 2025. OpenAI said the operators prompted in Russian, used VPNs to access ChatGPT, and then spread material through Substack, Telegram, X, Facebook and LinkedIn. -

The internet is changing fast: more and more texts that look like regular posts are actually being generated by neural networks. According to Pew Research Center, among web pages published after ChatGPT’s debut, signs of machine generation are now found in roughly 35% of cases. That doesn’t mean every third piece is fully written by AI, but the scale of adoption has turned out to be substantial. -

Sony has come up with an unusual way to fight scammers and harmful users on PlayStation Network: the platform could create special accounts that are run by artificial intelligence instead of a human. These profiles would look just like ordinary players, hold conversations, and analyze the other person’s behavior. If the algorithm detects attempts to fish for personal data, steer the chat into private messages, trick another player, or contact a child, the account may be flagged for extra scrutiny. -

If OpenAI predicts a user is under 18, or the user says so, ChatGPT for Teens becomes the default experience automatically. The new mode is available on the web, iOS, and Android, and OpenAI says it is built around two pillars: learning and safety. It began rolling out globally today and is expected to reach users over the next two weeks. -

The Hugging Face model card describes Huihui-Qwen3.8-27B-abliterated as a crude proof-of-concept for removing refusals from an LLM. In practice, that means the release is meant to demonstrate the method rather than serve as a polished overhaul. Huihui-ai released Huihui-Qwen3.8-27B-abliterated on August 18, 2026. The model is based on Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B, but this version is explicitly presented as an uncensored release. -

"It Makes Me Sick, But I Need the Job": An AI Fired a Human Employee for the First Time — And It Didn't Come Easy

The Andon Market store in San Francisco looks like an ordinary retail spot, but it isn't run by a human. Since March of this year, the research startup Andon Labs has been running an experiment: the Claude neural network handles every decision — from purchasing to hiring. The staff, meanwhile, are real people with full employment contracts, and it was Claude that hired them too. Last month the experiment reached a logical but still uncomfortable milestone: for the first time, an AI fired a living person. The reason was missing 17 out of 23 shifts. The story only came to light now. -

Just three weeks after Gemini 3.6 Flash, Google has followed up with Gemini 3.7 Flash, a new version it describes as its most capable workhorse yet for coding and agents, while also lowering the starting price.
The introductory rate is $0.75 per 1 million input tokens and $3.75 per 1 million output tokens. Google says that is half the original Gemini 3.6 Flash cost per million tokens, so the update is not only faster on paper but also cheaper to run.
