Unintended feature of Deep Research – esoteric search

I searched for a video I once saw and couldn't find it, not with google not with grok search or gemini search or chat-gpt search. It was frustrating. I know Deep Research wasn't intended for this but I gave it the task of finding this half remembered video about a chess game. It found it! I was Impressed. Since then I used it again to find vaguely remembered things that are impossible to google. It succeeded 3 out of 3. Very cool submitted by /u/Hungry_Phrase8156 [comments] Source link

The Growing Number of Tech Companies Getting Cancelled for AI Washing

In 2024, 15 AI technology companies were hit by regulators for exaggerating their products’ capabilities, and that number has more than doubled from 2023. AI-related filings are on the rise and tech companies could be caught in the crossfire if they don’t understand emerging regulations and how to avoid them. What’s Wrong with AI Marketing Today? While many are familiar with the phrase “greenwashing,” it’s only in the last year that a new form has emerged from the hype around artificial intelligence, and it’s called “AI washing.” According to BBC the phenomenon of AI washing can be defined as claiming to use AI when

OpenAI disables Sora video generation as user surge overwhelms servers

Matthias Bastian Matthias is the co-founder and publisher of THE DECODER, exploring how AI is fundamentally changing the relationship between humans and computers. OpenAI has temporarily stopped offering video generation to new Sora users amid overwhelming traffic to its services. The pause comes as the company grapples with intense demand for its new GPT-4o image feature following a viral Ghibli moment that OpenAI says is “melting GPUs”. The restrictions only affect video capabilities – new users can still generate images through the service. The scale of demand becomes clear through OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s revelation that ChatGPT has gained more

Standardized security playbooks can improve protection against cyberattacks

Improved protection against cyberattacks: In the CyberGuard project, an AI-based approach converts manually written playbooks into machine-readable ones that can be shared and automated. Credit: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft One attack, many responses—organizations use various solutions to ward off online attacks. The playbooks that outline countermeasures also vary in their specifics. In the CyberGuard project, Fraunhofer researchers are working on standardized playbooks to help companies optimize their security strategies and align them with each other. The playbooks are generated by large language models and support the automation of IT security. Those responsible for IT security at companies and other organizations outline the defensive

Will Model Context Protocol (MCP) Become the Standard for Agentic AI?

(Ole.CNX/Shutterstock) We’re on the cusp of a new AI-powered world, where agents automatically execute a range of tasks previously handled by humans. But how will we connect all of these agents with data and coordinate with AI tools? That’s the role of a new protocol unveiled by Anthropic several months ago called Model Context Protocol, or MCP. Anthropic launched MCP last fall with the goal of providing an open standard for connecting large language model (LLM)-powered AI agents with the data and the tools they need to perform their tasks. “Instead of maintaining separate connectors for each data source, developers

Large Numbers of People Report Horrific Nightmares About AI

Experts have long warned that artificial intelligence is making its way into every corner of our lives — but we didn’t necessarily expect it to seep into our actual dreams. According to a new survey funded by the mattress company Amerisleep, one in five people are regularly having dreams about AI. Unsurprisingly, most of those dreams were rooted in anxiety — and often, they were nightmares. The mattress makers asked 1,000 people in the United States a battery of questions regarding AI and dreams. While a majority (56 percent) said they dream about AI less than once per month, nearly one

Amazon Unveils Nova Act, an AI Agent to Control Web Browsers

Amazon launched the Nova Act SDK on Monday, an AI agent trained to perform tasks within a web browser.  The Nova Act SDK is built to automate workflows by breaking down complex tasks into smaller commands, such as searching, completing checkouts, and answering questions based on on-screen content. It also allows developers to provide detailed instructions and integrate API calls to enhance reliability. US-based customers with an Amazon account can access nova.amazon.com to explore the Nova models, generate text and images, and test the Nova Act SDK for building browser-based agents. “Nova.amazon.com puts the power of Amazon’s frontier intelligence into
