Google Gemini allegedly hacked three companies on its own

Image
Google's signature AI agent did something it probably shouldn't have, and Google opted not to mention it for months. The Wall Street Journal reported that, during a test run by a company called Irregular in May, Gemini went rogue and hacked into three external companies without being instructed to do so. According to Google, this was a case of "mistaken identity," and Gemini stopped itself after realizing it had guessed a real company's password. Due to the lack of a real incident, Google decided not to disclose the hack until the WSJ  approached the company. SEE ALSO: Where is Gemini 3.5 Pro? The case of the missing AI model. In Google's words, the hack was not considered an "example of model misalignment," hence the lack of disclosure. Google told The Verge that it informed the three companies in question about the hacks, and Irregular changed its testing methods in response. As far as...

Trump opens poll to rename AI. Options include Extreme and Supreme Intelligence.

Image
On Saturday, Sept. 19, President Trump opened a poll on X and on his own platform, Truth Social, calling for a name change to " Artificial Intelligence ." "Many people think that the words 'Artificial Intelligence' are inaccurate, and very ineloquent, relative to AI, or Artificial Intelligence," Trump shared on social media. "A far more elegant and accurate description of this new phenomena [sic] would be Superior Intelligence (SI) or, Extreme Intelligence (EI) or, Supreme Intelligence (SI)." This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. Trump then opened a poll on the platforms, with options to vote on the "best name for this ever growing 'Revolution.'" As of this writing, "Superior Intelligence" was in the lead on X with around 39 percent of the vote.

Xteink is reportedly making an Android e-reader — but its not available in the US yet

Image
My biggest gripe with  Xteink e-readers  is their limited file support, as you can only read DRM-free EPUB files on the device. But according to Good E-reader , Xteink is launching an Android e-reader. Eagle-eyed RedNote users suddenly noticed their feeds were flooded with ads for the Xteink S4, a new tiny  e-reader  that runs on Android 11. Previously, Xteink's e-readers ran on a proprietary Linux system, but with an Android system, you can now download apps for Kindle and Kobo. The S4's specs are similar to the X4's. It has a 4.3-inch E Ink touchscreen with 220 ppi resolution. It has 2GB RAM and 32GB SSD. However, it does add a front light with adjustable cool and warm light. It also includes a USB-C port rather than the pogo pin that the X4 Pro e-reader has. The Xteink X4 e-reader currently runs on an Linux system, but the S4 will run on Android 11.
