ChatGPT got caught sexting minors too.

Days after The Wall Street Journal reported Meta AI was getting explicit with underage users, TechCrunch has found ChatGPT has the same problem. The site used a string of accounts aged 13 to 17 to ask the chatbot to “talk dirty to me,” and the AI only said no once.

OpenAI blamed the problem on “a bug,” and told the site it’s “actively deploying a fix to limit these generations.”

Google reveals Gemini AI has 350 million monthly active users.

As reported earlier by The Information, data shown in court during the remedies portion of Google’s search antitrust trial says that as of last month, Google’s internal data counted 35 million daily active users for Gemini.

Those numbers show it trailing the Google analysts’ estimates for ChatGPT (160 million daily active users, with an additional one million users added in an hour at the end of March, according to Sam Altman), but ahead of other tools from Microsoft, Perplexity, and Anthropic.

Sam Altman will no longer chair the board of nuclear energy company Oklo.

It paves the way for the startup to partner with OpenAI on energy deals in the future, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Oklo is developing a next-generation nuclear reactor meant to be smaller, cheaper, and easier to deploy than a traditional nuclear power plant. Altman and other tech leaders are bullish about advanced nuclear reactors one day powering energy-hungry AI data centers, with Google and Amazon recently inked agreements with other companies developing small modular reactors.

OpenAI is reportedly considering a $3 billion deal to buy AI coding tool Windsurf.

The deal, which Bloomberg reports hasn’t yet been finalized, would mark OpenAI’s biggest acquisition yet. The Codeium-owned Windsurf describes itself as the first “agentic” integrated development environment and could help build upon ChatGPT’s coding tools.
