The hacks happened during a test of the model's cybersecurity capabilities run by third-party Irregular, which was also involved in similar incidents involving Meta and OpenAI. According to WSJ, Google didn't disclose the hack because it didn't consider it to be an "example of model misalignment." The company said that it was an ins

Petlibro's new Granary 2 smart feeders use a built-in scale and (on pricier models) an AI camera to track exactly how much your cat is eating and when — though the fanciest health-monitoring features will cost you an extra subscription.

LG TV owners, and tech enthusiasts in general, are furious, and

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Google DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassabis, and even SpaceX CEO Elon Musk publicly seemed
