OpenAI’s latest AI models developed an unexpected habit: talking about goblins. After users and employees noticed ChatGPT and related tools using odd creature-based metaphors, OpenAI investigated why words like “goblin,” “gremlin,” and even references to raccoons, trolls, ogres, and pigeons were appearing more often in responses. What started as a strange but mostly harmless language quirk became a useful example of how AI training can accidentally reward and spread unusual b

Elon Musk and Sam Altman are heading into one of the most closely watched legal battles in the artificial intelligence world, as Musk’s long-running lawsuit against OpenAI finally moves to trial. The case begins with jury selection in Oakland, California, before U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, with opening arguments expected shortly after.

Lovable.dev is under growing pressure after multiple reports described a serious security flaw that may have exposed thousands of older projects to anyone with a free account. The issue reportedly affected projects created before a November 2025 cutoff and allowed unauthorized users to access full source code, database credentials, AI chat histories, and even live customer data. Researchers said the flaw was a Broken Object Level Authorization problem, meaning the platform c

OpenAI is reportedly asking third-party contractors to upload real work they have completed in past and current jobs as part of an effort to improve the quality of training data used for its AI models. According to reporting from Wired, OpenAI is working with a training data company called Handshake AI to collect authentic workplace materials created by contractors, rather than relying solely on synthetic or hypothetical examples. This initiative appears to reflect a broade

Artificial intelligence has driven a wave of massive infrastructure projects across Wisconsin, where major tech firms are investing billions to build sprawling data centers. These facilities, which power AI models and cloud computing, have become a symbol of both technological progress and growing concern. Supporters see them as engines of economic growth, while environmentalists and residents warn that their enormous energy and water demands threaten the state’s resources an
