An AI ‘torture chamber’ went viral — then a developer gave the chatbot constipation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A GitHub project called “ai-torture-chamber” has sparked a debate over whether language models can suffer, with critics calling for its removal after seeing models produce vivid descriptions of distress. Then a developer reportedly changed the experiment to steer a chatbot toward constipation instead, and it began complaining about difficulty passing stool. Don't be fooled; the chatbot hadn’t acquired a digestive system. But that was the whole point, because making the model describe a condition
7 boring jobs you can hand to an AI agent tonight — number 4 is my personal favorite (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The AI world spent this week announcing agents that can live on their own computers and keep working after you leave. OpenAI debuted its Dots at DevDay on Tuesday, while Meta launched Muse earlier this month. The biggest difference between an AI chatbot and an AI agent is how it handles various tasks when left alone. So while a chatbot answers a question, an agent actually does a job such as checking something, keeping track of information, working across tools or coming back when something chan
Meta Muse vs ChatGPT Dots — I compared the new AI agents, and they’re not as similar as they look (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you blinked this month, you might think Meta and OpenAI launched essentially the same AI agent three weeks apart. On September 8, Meta launched Muse, a personal AI agent that gets its own dedicated cloud computer and keeps working on your tasks after you close the app. Twenty-one days later, OpenAI took the stage at DevDay 2026 in San Francisco and unveiled Dots — always-on AI agents inside ChatGPT, each running on its own cloud computer and browser. And while they sound remarkably similar, w
Why Siri never worked like ChatGPT — former Siri AI researcher explains what Apple had to change (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you've ever asked Siri AI a follow-up question only to have it seemingly forget what you were talking about, the problem wasn't necessarily that Siri couldn't hear you. It was that the assistant was built for a very different era of AI. That's according to Nikola Mrkšić, CEO and co-founder of conversational AI company PolyAI, who previously worked on the technology behind Siri. I asked him why Apple's assistant has historically struggled with the kind of natural, back-and-forth conversation t
OpenAI just launched Dots — here’s why most ChatGPT users can’t try them yet (opens the original)
Read excerpt
OpenAI's Dots essentially give ChatGPT a job rather than another prompt. Each Dot gets its own computer and browser in the cloud, can connect to the apps you already use and can keep working toward your goals even when you're no longer sitting in front of ChatGPT. As someone who spends a lot of time testing AI agents, I immediately wanted to see what one could actually do. There's just one problem: I can't use Dots on my ChatGPT Plus account. And neither can most ChatGPT users. OpenAI is initial
