OpenAI fired three AI safety researchers in just one week. Prior to this, they had been assisting in the investigation of the Hugging Face hack and warning about the potential loss of control over models.
Two of the researchers had been communicating with external auditors regarding the safety of new models. Ultimately, they were accused of losing trust. Another female researcher was let go for reading management’s emails—despite the fact that management had granted her access.
Former employees are concerned that OpenAI is gradually shutting down external oversight of AI. Meanwhile, those who remain fear that management will start checking their personal phones.

Meme: Jeff Bezos has claimed that AI could enable a three-day workweek and allow people to earn more—on the very same day, Amazon laid off 1,000 employees.
According to Bezos, advancements in AI will not lead to unemployment but rather a shortage of workers. Companies will face a lack of staff, allowing people to work less.
For reference, in the past two years, Amazon has cut 30,000 jobs. At the very least, they have already allowed themselves to work less.

One of the fathers of cyberpunk shared that "tech bros" constantly thank him for his inspiration.
To provide some context, Gibson wrote about the misuse of technology and corporations that control the world instead of governments.
Now, CEOs from Silicon Valley consider his books to be utopian.

Will PS5 exclusives become a thing of the past? The AnyPS5 project is actively being developed on GitHub, aimed at running Sony games on PC. The most interesting part is that it's not an emulator.
It works similarly to Proton on the Steam Deck, which allows Windows games to run on Linux. Essentially, AnyPS5 modifies game files for PC, so, unlike emulators, everything should run more smoothly.
So far, only one game has been fully operational— the platformer Dreaming Sarah, which achieves 60 FPS even on an old GTX 1050 Ti.
The project has successfully deconstructed 100% of the PS5 graphics, and about 95-97% of the console's core system functions have been rewritten.

Anthropic and OpenAI are preparing for a major "AI disaster": developers of neural networks are working through scenarios where society and authorities turn against them.
Insiders at Axios suggest that the most likely scenario is a global cyberattack, which could disrupt banking services, the internet, and even public utilities. Such a crisis is predicted to occur within the next 6 to 12 months.
Following this, there may be attempts to ban AI or freeze its development. As a result, companies are already collaborating with politicians to influence future legislation.

Engineers have developed invisible tattoos that only become visible under ultraviolet light.
In sunlight, the tattoo will appear in an "intermediate" form. Regular bright lamps can instantly conceal it.
The creators suggest "turning off" the tattoo before visiting grandma or for important meetings.

A subscription to Adobe is no longer necessary: a Reddit user has created a Lightroom alternative called "na vibe." We checked it out, and it shows potential as a viable alternative.
It includes all the basic photo editing tools, supports presets and RAW files, allows for the removal of unwanted objects, and works with image libraries. You can also connect it to Claude Code and perform tasks using prompts.
You can test it for free here. The coolest part is that the developer has also released a clone of Photoshop, with After Effects and Illustrator next in line.
