Grokipedia is not a 'Wikipedia competitor.' It is a fully robotic regurgitation machine designed to protect the ego of the world’s wealthiest man.
OpenAI rolled out Company Knowledge for ChatGPT Business, Enterprise, and Edu that connects to internal apps like Slack, SharePoint, Google Drive, and GitHub. The feature delivers organization-specific answers inside ChatGPT and shows citations for every source used. The capability runs on a version of GPT-5 that searches multiple sources, resolves conflicting details, and produces comprehensive responses. It respects existing user permissions, gives admins granular control over connected apps, and is available immediately to all eligible customers.
Google launched a redesigned Build mode in AI Studio that lets anyone generate and deploy a web app from a simple text prompt. The update, branded as “vibe coding,” is available now at ai.studio/build and requires no payment info to begin. Users can mix Gemini 2.5 Pro with tools like Veo, Imagine and Flashlight, edit the full React/TypeScript source, and push directly to GitHub or Cloud Run. An “I’m Feeling Lucky” button auto-creates app concepts for inspiration, while advanced models and Cloud Run deployment unlock only after adding a paid API key. The hands-on demo showed a novice building a working dice-rolling app in 65 seconds, highlighting how far the barrier to AI app creation has fallen. That speed and simplicity position Google’s offering as a direct challenger to developer-oriented tools like OpenAI’s Codex and Anthropic’s Claude Code, according to the article.
A cross-university research team found that leading large language models still fail to convincingly imitate human speech in phone-style conversations. The study, published in PMC, showed people could usually tell AI transcripts from real human dialogues. Researchers tested ChatGPT-4, Claude Sonnet 3.5, Vicuna and Wayfarer by comparing their simulated calls against actual human transcripts and asking participants to judge the source. They trace the AI giveaway to exaggerated imitation, awkward use of filler words, and clumsy openings and endings. Researchers say hype over AI fluency outpaces reality, as the models’ speech quirks remain easy to spot. They add that even as systems improve, key conversational discrepancies persist.
The option turns Copilot into your portal to the web, with each new tab opening a chat window where you can either ask a question, conduct a search, or enter a URL.
Copilot Mode ties Microsoft’s AI assistant more closely to Edge, as it combines AI-generated responses, search results, and navigation into one window. It also draws from all of your tabs — not just the one you’re on — allowing you to ask Copilot to summarize the information in all of your open windows or compare products in each one.
Though Microsoft previously launched Copilot Mode as an experimental feature, it’s now available for everyone to try, alongside a few new features available in a limited preview. That includes an agentic Copilot Actions feature that can do things like unsubscribe from marketing emails or book a reservation on your behalf.
Just like the other AI browsers out there, Copilot’s agentic features just aren’t totally reliable yet. Copilot displays a warning before taking action that says the tool is “intended for research and evaluation purposes” and “can make mistakes.”
Gaming Copilot screenshots gameplay, extracts text, and sends the data to undocumented Microsoft Azure endpoints.
His report added a critical detail: network traffic persists even when the Game Bar widget is closed, suggesting the data collection is not limited to active use.
Baltimore county high schools last year began using a gun detection system using school cameras and AI to detect potential weapons. If it spots something it believes to be suspicious, it sends an alert to the school and law enforcement.
An artificial intelligence system (AI) apparently mistook a high school student’s bag of Doritos for a firearm and called local police to tell them the pupil was armed.
Taki Allen was sitting with friends on Monday night outside Kenwood high school in Baltimore and eating a snack when police officers with guns approached him.
“At first, I didn’t know where they were going until they started walking toward me with guns, talking about, ‘Get on the ground,’ and I was like, ‘What?’” Allen told the WBAL-TV 11 News television station.
Allen said they made him get on his knees, handcuffed and searched him – finding nothing. They then showed him a copy of the picture that had triggered the alert.
