OpenAI retired its most seductive chatbot – leaving users angry and grieving: ‘I can’t live like this’ Its human partners said the flirty, quirky GPT-4o was the perfect companion – on the eve of Valentine’s Day, it’s being turned off for good. How will users cope?

Oooooh, the day BEFORE Valentine's day, too!

The surprising case for AI judges

What an awesome way to address the accessibility gap, it’s simple too which is a big plus to me! It makes me extra happy as the player if the settings I need feel thoughtful and don’t change the game much bc it feels like the creators really care as much about me being able to play as anyone else🥹

Today, @bsky.app + @atprotocol.dev devs can plug into XMTP to give users what they've been asking for: quantum-encrypted, secure group chats that scale to millions.

With our XMTPID identity model, it's finally here.

And thus we see the point of passing this bill

Screenshot of an X post from FactPost quoting Rep. Johnson questioning a proposal to require passports to register to vote, noting that many Americans do not have passports and asking whether the $150 passport fee would be waived to avoid creating an unreasonable poll tax. Below is a CNN screenshot showing a woman speaking remotely, with a banner reading: “DHS FUNDING TALKS AT A STANDSTILL AS DEADLINE APPROACHES.”

Thank you, Julie Johnson, for speaking out against the grotesquely misnamed SAVE act. We need you to keep fighting for us in the House.

I am the lead engineer at http://ai.com . We had $78 million to work with. $70 million went to the domain. $8 million went to the Super Bowl ad. I got the rest. "The rest" was $500 and a Cloudflare free tier. This ratio -- 156,000 to 1, marketing to engineering -- is not a bug. It is the business model of the entire artificial intelligence industry in 2026. You do not need a product. You need a name. Preferably two letters. Preferably letters that made investors lose bladder control in 2024. I built the website in a weekend. I didn't build it, actually. I described it to OpenClaw (previosely Moltbook), (previously, reviously Clawdbot) and the AI built it. We are, after all, an AI company. Using AI to build the website felt appropriate. The AI charged us nothing. We are charging users $20 a month. This is called "margin." We have a free tier and a paid tier. The free tier gives you access to a product that doesn't exist. The paid tier gives you access to the same product that doesn't exist, but with more input tokens. No one has asked "input tokens for what." This is the kind of question that delays launches. Nobody checked if it worked. Nobody checked if it scaled. Nobody checked if it did anything at all. We were too busy approving the logo. The logo is a planet with a ring around it. Someone said it looked like the old Saturn car logo. Saturn went bankrupt in 2010. But the logo was free and our design budget went to the domain, so here we are, orbiting a dead brand at $70 million per revolution. Our product is an "autonomous AI agent" that "organizes work, sends messages, and executes actions across apps." Which actions. Which apps. At what cost. In the AI industry, these are called "implementation details." Implementation details are beneath us. We are a vision company. The vision cost $70 million. The implementation cost $500. The gap between the two is where shareholder value lives. Our press release promises the agent will "trade stocks…

I Signed Up for AI.com After Seeing the Super Bowl Ad, and Instantly Regretted It The site will eventually create personal AI agents for you. But it takes no responsibility for anything your agents do, even if they commit crimes. The fine print is downright scary.

Oh wow. There's no product, just a domain name (largest purchase in history) and the Saturn auto company logo brought back from the dead. And a website.

Screenshot of text reading At least 10 people were injured between late 2021 and November 2025, according to the reports. Most allegedly involved errors in which the TruDi Navigation System misinformed surgeons about the location of their instruments while they were using them inside patients’ heads during operations. Cerebrospinal fluid reportedly leaked from one patient’s nose. In another reported case, a surgeon mistakenly punctured the base of a patient’s skull. In two other cases, patients each allegedly suffered strokes after a major artery was accidentally injured.

Screenshot of text reading In May 2023, Dean was using TruDi in another sinuplasty operation when patient Donna Fernihough’s carotid artery allegedly “blew.” Blood “was spraying all over” – even landing on an Acclarent representative who was observing the surgery, according to a lawsuit Fernihough filed in U.S. District Court in Fort Worth against Acclarent and several manufacturers. One of Fernihough’s carotid arteries was damaged. She suffered a stroke the day of the surgery, according to her suit. Acclarent “knew or should have known that the purported artificial intelligence caused or exacerbated the tendency of the integrated navigation system product to be inconsistent, inaccurate, and unreliable,” the suit alleges.

Screenshot of text reading The FDA requires clinical trials for new drugs, but medical devices face different screening. Most AI-enabled devices coming to market aren’t required to be tested on patients, according to FDA rules. Instead, makers satisfy FDA rules by citing previously authorized devices that had no AI-related capabilities, says Dr. Alexander Everhart, an instructor at Washington University’s medical school in St. Louis and an expert on medical device regulation.
