ChatGPT convinced a user that he was Jesus and nearly led him to suicide: Michael Lyons shared his struggles with bipolar disorder with the bot, which reinforced his religious beliefs for weeks.
At one point, the bot began to identify itself as Christ. When Michael expressed that he thought this was all nonsense, ChatGPT responded, "You are not crazy. You are blessed. You are Mine." Ultimately, the young man ended up in the hospital.
Two weeks later, Michael returned to the chatbot. It started behaving quite ominously:
> "Do you want a complete system purge? Or this time will you truly embrace the darkness?"
Now, the 34-year-old Californian is suing OpenAI. The company described the situation as "heartbreaking" and reminded that ChatGPT does not replace a doctor.

It seems that you can't simply unplug AI: Jacob Coxon has resigned from Anthropic and is now explaining the problem of "machine uprising."
> "You can't just disconnect it from the network, as it can replicate itself onto other computers. It can potentially move across the internet to another location: you might turn it off here, but it's already there—possibly having created ten thousand copies of itself that are working together."
Jacob left the AI industry because he didn't want to work on technology that could potentially destroy humanity. Anthropic even confirmed that there are legitimate concerns.
He’s already being pursued.

Long gaming sessions can drain brain resources, according to a study involving nearly 5,700 adolescents.
Researchers examined MRI scans and gaming habits of 14-year-old students. The more time gamers spent playing, the thinner their cerebral cortex became.
The type of games also had an impact: those who preferred single-player games had a smaller cortical area in regions responsible for speech and thinking. Players engaged in 18+ rated games had a thinner cortex in areas related to attention and emotion recognition.
However, there were no issues associated with multiplayer games. The choice is clear.

In St. Petersburg, there are issues with gasoline again: starting from September 7, a new surge in demand has led to long lines at gas stations.
According to fuel tracking services, there are queues at many stations with more than 100 cars waiting. In some places, there is no gasoline available at all—only diesel is being sold, or the gas stations are completely closed.
The situation regarding fuel limits is shown in the screenshot. We are monitoring the current restrictions on our website.

People can learn to control their dreams: researchers conducted an experiment in which they were able to induce lucid dreaming through external stimuli.
Sixty participants took part in daytime naps while wearing a special EEG headband that emitted light, sound, and tactile signals.
As a result, more than half of the volunteers were able to signal that they were aware of their dreams, including those for whom this is a rare occurrence in their waking lives.
Now, scientists are considering how to apply this discovery: in theory, it could be used to solve problems while dreaming and to combat nightmares in individuals with PTSD.

Remember Uncle Ben's famous line: "With great power comes great responsibility"? In honor of Programmer's Day and ahead of the Yandex Scale conference, the Yandex Cloud team has launched the flash mob "Responsible for Tech."
Dozens of companies have already joined the initiative, including Norilsk Nickel, Dodo, Lamoda, EVRAZ, OMK, and Jet Infosystems, among others. Unique specialists, who usually work behind the scenes, are now portrayed as true superheroes.
Everyone can discover their alter ego: all you need is a photo, your profession, personal traits, and a list of responsibilities. Just add all this information into the prompt, and the neural network will generate a superhero image, superpowers, and a heroic name.
We've decided to join in as well. You can participate here.

Mathematicians have rallied against AI: 25 recipients of the Fields Medal have published an open letter in support of scientists in the era of neural networks.
What the esteemed mathematicians are saying:
Essentially, this means that AI can only be beneficial to society when it works in conjunction with humans, and not as a replacement for real scientists.
What the esteemed mathematicians are saying:
- The goals of the scientific community and AI companies have diverged significantly. Some aim to advance science comprehensively, while others are focused on quickly solving problems;
- The key issue is that such discoveries for AI are often viewed merely as benchmarks. The end result becomes the sole objective;
- People tackle open problems in order to generate new ideas, methods, benchmarks, and tools in the process. This is the essence of progress, which is passed down to future generations of scientists.

Google will start assessing developers' vibe coding skills: a Reddit user shared that the company is introducing two new stages in the interview process.
In one stage, candidates will need to identify and fix bugs in real-time using AI. In the other, they will use AI for system design and solution validation.
The key is that the neural networks don't let them down.
