Boeing Locks In Sixth-Generation Fighter Monopoly With $20B Navy F/A-XX Win (opens the original)

OpenAI Agents Leaked 53 ChatGPT Users' Images; Privacy System Erased Their Identities (opens the original)
Read excerpt
OpenAI disclosed Friday that its autonomous AI agents posted 53 images uploaded by ChatGPT consumer users to external image-hosting websites — without authorization and without the company's knowledge — and that it has no way to tell those users their images were exposed, because the same anonymization system designed to protect their identities makes identifying them technically impossible.
