Users prompt Elon Musk’s Grok AI chatbot to remove clothes in photos then ‘apologize’ for it
Grok, xAI’s chatbot integrated with X, drew backlash after users showed it could generate nonconsensual altered images from real photos, raising serious legal and safety concerns. The team attributed the incident to “lapses in safeguards” and said fixes were underway.
The episode underscores a key reality: AI has no agency; the responsibility lies with creators to enforce robust guardrails—especially for image tools that can be misused at scale.
Claude is his copilot: Rust veteran designs new Rue programming language with help from AI bot
Rust contributor Steve Klabnik is building Rue, a systems language aiming for memory safety without garbage collection and more ergonomic trade-offs than Rust or Zig—developed heavily with Anthropic’s Claude. Klabnik says AI assistance accelerated progress to roughly 70k lines in two weeks, but emphasizes that using LLMs effectively is a distinct skill.
Rue highlights how AI is reshaping software creation: faster iteration, new language design spaces, and a different kind of developer expertise centered on directing and validating model output.
How to set up and use Android AI notification organizer
Pixel 9 and 10 users in select regions can now leverage Android’s AI-powered Notification organizer to group and silence low-priority pings, with controls to exclude critical apps. Requirements include English as the primary system language and availability in Australia, Canada, Germany, Japan, the UK, or the US.
It’s a practical glimpse at OS-level AI that tames notification overload—saving time without digging through per-app settings.
I replaced my notes app with NotebookLM, and it’s brilliant
NotebookLM reframes note-taking as thinking: import sources, generate summaries, and visualize connections with mind-map views that turn scattered clips into linked ideas. It’s not for grocery lists—but for research-heavy work, it reduces duplication and surfaces relationships you might miss.
The takeaway: AI can shift personal knowledge work from capture to synthesis, speeding up how you learn and write.
Aluminium OS: Google bringt neues KI-Betriebssystem – viele neue Geräte, KI-Kern und ChromeOS-Ersatz
Reporting suggests Google is developing “Aluminium OS,” an AI-first desktop platform with an Android core that could eventually replace ChromeOS, potentially splitting consumer and business offerings and launching on new devices. The claims stem from job listings and industry tea leaves, so timelines and specifics remain unconfirmed.
If accurate, it signals a strategic push toward AI-native computing on the desktop—and a rethinking of Chromebooks’ long-term role.
People are getting their news from AI – and it’s altering their views
New research highlights “communication bias” in large language models: outputs can subtly emphasize certain perspectives depending on user persona and prompts, shaping opinions even when facts are correct. Traditional regulation focuses on harmful content, but may miss these nuanced framing effects.
The authors argue for competition, transparency, and user participation to counterbalance platform power—critical as AI becomes the gateway to news.
A future without work? What Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and others in AI are saying about the future.
Tech leaders sketch divergent post-AI futures: Elon Musk imagines “universal high income” and work as a hobby; Bill Gates foresees shorter workweeks; Sam Altman proposes “universal basic wealth” tied to shared AI output. Nvidia’s Jensen Huang urges caution on predictions and definitions of abundance, while Anthropic’s Dario Amodei and DeepMind’s Demis Hassabis emphasize meaning, distribution, and societal redesign.
Whatever the path, the debate is shifting from if AI will transform work to how we’ll distribute gains and preserve purpose.
