Imagine thousands of chatbots immersed in social media created specifically for them, a site where humans may watch but are not allowed to post. It exists. It’s called Moltbook, and it’s where AI agents go to discuss everything from their human task masters to constructing digital architecture to creating a private bot language to better communicate with each other without human interference.Imagine thousands of chatbots immersed in social media created specifically for them, a site where humans may watch but are not allowed to post.

OpenAI has begun placing ads in the basic versions of its ChatGPT chatbot, a bet that users will not mind the interruptions as the company seeks revenue as its costs soar.OpenAI has begun placing ads in the basic versions of its ChatGPT chatbot, a bet that users will not mind the interruptions as the company seeks revenue as its costs soar.Internet[#item_full_content]

Phishing websites remain a persistent cybersecurity threat, exploiting users by imitating trusted online services. New machine-learning tools could help organizations flag more phishing sites before they harm users and steal credentials. A Sultan Qaboos University study shows data-driven models substantially outperform traditional approaches.Phishing websites remain a persistent cybersecurity threat, exploiting users by imitating trusted online services.

A new study has demonstrated how networks of spiking nanolasers could emulate a key principle of brain function: to imagine things that we cannot directly perceive by sampling from internal models of the world. The study, led by scientists from the University of Bern in collaboration with Thales Research & Technology located in the Paris-Saclay campus area, has now been published in Nature Communications.A new study has demonstrated how networks of spiking nanolasers could emulate a key principle of brain function: to imagine things that we cannot directly perceive by sampling from internal models of the world.

Guidance based on artificial intelligence (AI) may be uniquely placed to foster biases in humans, leading to less effective decision making, say researchers, who found that people with a positive view of AI may be at higher risk of being misled by AI tools. The study, titled “Examining Human Reliance on Artificial Intelligence in Decision Making,” is published in Scientific Reports.Guidance based on artificial intelligence (AI) may be uniquely placed to foster biases in humans, leading to less effective decision making, say researchers, who found that people with a positive view of AI may be at higher risk of being misled by AI tools.

A firm that wants to use a large language model (LLM) to summarize sales reports or triage customer inquiries can choose between hundreds of unique LLMs with dozens of model variations, each with slightly different performance. To narrow down the choice, companies often rely on LLM ranking platforms, which gather user feedback on model interactions to rank the latest LLMs based on how they perform on certain tasks.A firm that wants to use a large language model (LLM) to summarize sales reports or triage customer inquiries can choose between hundreds of unique LLMs with dozens of model variations, each with slightly different performance.

Customers are 32% more likely to buy a product after reading a review summary generated by a chatbot than after reading the original review written by a human. That’s because large language models introduce bias, in this case a positive framing, in summaries. That, in turn, affects users’ behavior.Customers are 32% more likely to buy a product after reading a review summary generated by a chatbot than after reading the original review written by a human.
