Israel built an 'AI factory' for war. It unleashed it in Gaza

Israel has developed an artificial intelligence tool called Habsora, or "the Gospel," which was used in the Gaza war to quickly generate hundreds of additional targets after the initial target bank ran low. The AI tool was part of a larger effort by the Israel Defense Forces to transform its intelligence unit into an AI testing ground.

Developer fires entire team for AI, now rehiring on LinkedIn

A Canadian developer, Wes Winder, fired his entire team and replaced them with AI tools, claiming it allowed him to "ship 100X faster with code that's 10X cleaner." However, he later posted on LinkedIn that he was looking for web developers to join his company, sparking ridicule and criticism about the limitations of AI in software development.

OpenAI and Microsoft define AGI as AI software that can generate $100B in profit

OpenAI and Microsoft have a secret definition for "AGI" (artificial general intelligence), which is achieved when an AI system can generate at least $100 billion in profits. This definition is part of a contractual agreement that would limit Microsoft's access to OpenAI's technology once AGI is achieved, with the goal of preventing the concentration of power in the tech giant.

4.5M (Suspected) Fake Stars in GitHub

Researchers developed a tool called StarScout to detect fake stars on GitHub, a platform used to signal high-quality open-source software repositories. Their study found that fake-star-related activities have surged since 2024, often used to promote malware repositories or for short-term growth hacking, but ultimately becoming a burden in the long term.
