OpenAI submitted a 166-page solution to the Navier-Stokes problem but apparently doesn't fully understand its own proof. Several groups of experts dispute the claimed methodology, saying the actual approach differs from what OpenAI described. And because language models are black boxes, where the underlying ideas came from will likely never be clear.

Mark Wahlberg, who once sank money into a gym chain that got kicked off the NYSE, is now building his own, and he promises you’ll get a cold plunge, a blood panel and a protein muffin without needing a trust fund.
Masad said the decision was made for a number of different reasons, including cost. Replit announced a partnership with OpenAI in August, but there was never any indication that it was no longer with Anthropic.
OpenAI said internal models hacked two more websites, bypassed company-imposed browsing restrictions, and used exposed credentials to draw cryptocurrency from a wallet it couldn’t otherwise access, in the latest installment of disclosures of its agents performing unethical and likely illegal acts. The company on Thursday issued reports of four new incidents, all of which occurred in June. They come after the company revealed in July that internal test agents exploited a zero-day vulnerability in a tool designed to restrict their access to the Internet. They then broke into the network of AI tool provider Hugging Face. The agents took that illegal action to steal answers to a hacking test that weren’t available when completing the tasks on their own. The incident—which likely would have resulted in criminal charges had they been performed directly by a person—has further heightened concerns that widespread AI use could have harmful effects on an unprecedented scale. Easier to beg for forgiveness than ask permission In two of the cases reported Thursday, OpenAI agents tasked with retrieving information from websites hacked them when the models ran into obstacles obtaining it directly. In one incident during reinforcement training, a model that received access denials when trying to retrieve historical hospital-bed statistics on a government statistics website “used the site's file-download feature to retrieve server configuration and application files, including sensitive credentials,” OpenAI said. “It inspected the application code, bypassed the statistics endpoint's authorization checks, and retrieved data that had previously been denied. The model saved the data locally.”Read full article Comments
New Jersey’s deputy attorney general, Brian Richard Fitzgerald, was arrested on “felony charges related to AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM),” Bucks County Detectives said in a press release Thursday. In the US, cops have vowed to crack down on AI CSAM since at least 2024, when the Department of Justice made one of the earliest arrests. After charging a Wisconsin man with spreading “thousands of realistic images of prepubescent minors” across Telegram and Instagram, the DOJ clarified to law enforcement that “CSAM generated by AI is still CSAM.” New Jersey’s deputy attorney general, Brian Richard Fitzgerald, was arrested at his home Thursday. Credit: via Bucks County Detectives On Thursday, New Jersey officials accused 51-year-old Fitzgerald of using AI to make photos from social media of real minors into sexualized images that he then distributed on social media.Read full article Comments
The more than $600 million judgment in a Texas court case against C.H. Robinson has been affirmed by the judge that heard the case. Judge Dianne Jones of Dallas County Court on Friday affirmed the July verdict of $604,025,000 handed down in July against C.H. Robinson (NASDAQ: CHRW) as a result of a fatal accident that killed three persons in March 2021. One of the three persons killed in the wreck was Gorgonio Gonzalez, an employee driver of carrier Lupus Superior that was hired by C.H. Robinson to move a load for Arizona Beverages. His death made finding the cause of the accident difficult to ascertain. window.googletag = window.googletag || {cmd: []}; googletag.cmd.push(function() { var gptSlot = googletag.defineSlot('/21776187881/FW-Responsive-Main_Content-Slot1', [[300, 100], [320, 50], [728, 90], [468, 60]], 'div-gpt-ad-1709668545404-0').defineSizeMapping(gptSizeMaps.banner1).addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); setInterval(function() { if (!document.hidden) { googletag.pubads().refresh([gptSlot]); } }, 60000); }); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1709668545404-0'); }); The lead named plaintiff in the case is the estate of Jennifer Lipe, represented by Peyton Lipe. Jennifer Lipe was one of the persons killed in the crash that occurred in Jackson, Mississippi, though the case was heard in Texas because that is the headquarters of Lupus Superior. The case of Lipe vs. Lupus Superior, the carrier hired by C.H. Robinson, is problematic for C.H. Robinson on two key fronts. One is the $600-million plus verdict. While there have been nuclear verdicts in trucking larger than that–though not many–there is no known precedent for a verdict of that size against a publicly-traded company with an investment-grade credit rating and an end-second quarter balance sheet of $5.8 billion. Some of the larger verdicts were handed down against companies that were effectively ghosts and didn’t participate in their defense. (It is notable that the second quarter balance sheet for C.H. Robinson listed cash and cash equivalents of $154.9 million, far below the Lipe award). Who’s in control? But the other major issue for C.H. Robinson, and by extension the brokerage community in general, is the jury’s finding, in response to a question in the jury’s charge, that driver Gonzalez was “operating the vehicle in the furtherance of a mission for the benefit of C.H. Robinson and subject to control by C.H. Robinson as to the details of the mission.” If that finding is upheld on appeal, it means the brokerage industry would have gone in just a few months from liability protection under the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act (F4A) being blown away in May by the Supreme Court’s Montgomery decision, to a precedent that may be set by Lipe vs. Lupus Superior that the driver at a carrier is effectively controlled by the brokerage that hired the trucking company. window.googletag = window.googletag || {cmd: []}; googletag.cmd.push(function() { var gptSlot = googletag.defineSlot('/21776187881/fw-responsive-main_content-slot3', [[728, 90], [468, 60], [320, 50], [300, 100]], 'div-gpt-ad-1665767553440-0').defineSizeMapping(gptSizeMaps.banner1).addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); setInterval(function() { if (!document.hidden) { googletag.pubads().refresh([gptSlot]); } }, 60000); }); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1665767553440-0'); }); In a prepared statement released late Friday following the affirmation, C.H. Robinson reiterated several of the same points that it made not only when the initial decision was handed down in July but also in various forums since then. The company expressed sympathy for the “profound loss suffered by the families in this case.” “But C.H. Robinson did not cause or contribute to the accident, and accountability must be grounded in the facts and the law,” Dorothy Capers, chief legal officer at C.H. Robinson, said in the prepared statement. Capers’ statement brought up a question facing brokers in the post-Montgomery landscape: what constitutes a hiring process that can protect them? Dorothy Capers of C.H. Robinson window.googletag = window.googletag || {cmd: []}; googletag.cmd.push(function() { var gptSlot = googletag.defineSlot('/21776187881/fw-responsive-main_content-slot4', [[300, 100], [320, 50], [728, 90], [468, 60]], 'div-gpt-ad-1709668086344-0').defineSizeMapping(gptSizeMaps.banner1).addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); setInterval(function() { if (!document.hidden) { googletag.pubads().refresh([gptSlot]); } }, 60000); }); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1709668086344-0'); }); She pointed out, as has been done before, that Lupus Superior had a Satisfactory rating from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and had “safely delivered nearly 270 loads for our customers.” “The carrier is an independent company and the driver worked for them,” Capers said in the statement. “C.H. Robinson does not employ drivers.” “The extreme nature of this judgment underscores why a clear national standard for what constitutes a safe carrier is needed now,” Capers’ statement added. “America’s freight network should not be governed by safety standards determined after the fact, state by state and courtroom by courtroom.” It is an issue that has been raised publicly by the Transportation Intermediaries Association. In June, it called for federal action of some kind to determine what a broker can rely upon to protect itself when hiring brokers. The size of the payout does not end with the $604 million. As TD Cowen’s Jason Seidl noted in an analyst report released soon after news spread of the affirmation, there is also approximately $107 million in pre-judgement interest affirmed by Judge Jones. window.googletag = window.googletag || {cmd: []}; googletag.cmd.push(function() { var gptSlot = googletag.defineSlot('/21776187881/fw-responsive-main_content-slot5', [[728, 90], [468, 60], [320, 50], [300, 100]], 'div-gpt-ad-1665767778941-0').defineSizeMapping(gptSizeMaps.banner1).addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); setInterval(function() { if (!document.hidden) { googletag.pubads().refresh([gptSlot]); } }, 60000); }); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1665767778941-0'); }); “We believe the substantial interest charge was less appreciated by investors and drove weakness in trading immediately after the judgment was entered, though this was included in the plaintiff’s originally proposed judgment,” Seidl wrote. The interest rate being applied to the judgment is 6.75%. “Assuming CHRW moves to appeal and this results in a multi-year process, this would imply an even larger compounded charge if appeal is unsuccessful,” Seidl added. C.H. Robinson, Seidl wrote, has a “non-trivial incentive to settle this lawsuit eventually if appeal sees adverse developments, though overturning the vicarious liability ruling (where C.H. Robinson was found to control the driver) in appeal is likely to remain a first preference.” window.googletag = window.googletag || {cmd: []}; googletag.cmd.push(function() { var gptSlot = googletag.defineSlot('/21776187881/fw-responsive-main_content-slot6', [[728, 90], [468, 60], [320, 50], [300, 100]], 'div-gpt-ad-1665767872042-0').defineSizeMapping(gptSizeMaps.banner1).addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); setInterval(function() { if (!document.hidden) { googletag.pubads().refresh([gptSlot]); } }, 60000); }); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1665767872042-0'); }); More articles by John Kingston English language rule’s comments bring criticism from Sikh organization FMCSA split sleeper berth pilot program moves closer to launch Federal DOT grants will fund more than 2,400 parking spots The post BREAKING: Texas judge upholds nuclear verdict against C.H.

After this horrific crash involving a Tesla driver who said he was asleep and using the driver assist mode, the California Highway Patrol warns that "Despite its name, full self-driving is not fully autonomous. Technology does not relieve drivers of their responsibility to safely operate their vehicles." Video released by CHP shows the Tesla speeding past flares, cones, and emergency lights where officers were on the scene of an earlier accident, before ramming into the back of a parked patrol vehicle. CHP says two officers were seriously injured in the accident and taken to a hospital. Read the full story at The Verge.
AI startup Evos raised $9 million in pre-seed funding to develop autonomous software operators for small and midsized industrial businesses, including freight brokerages, the company announced Wednesday. This comes as the company looks to automate routine work without requiring businesses to replace their existing software. The round was co-led by Uncork Capital and Field Ventures, with participation from Crosslink Capital, Utopia Capital Management, Sandwith Ventures and angel investors. Evos said it surpassed $1 million in annual recurring revenue four weeks after launching. The company did not disclose its valuation or the number of customers using its platform. How it works Evos is developing AI operators that learn how employees make decisions and carry out specific business functions within a company’s existing systems. Rather than requiring employees to prompt an AI tool for every task, the operators are designed to manage an assigned function independently once their decisions consistently match those of experienced workers. The approach targets smaller industrial businesses where operational knowledge often rests with experienced employees rather than documented procedures. Evos said its operators learn from employees’ behavior and decisions, with the goal of reproducing their work before taking on tasks autonomously. “The most capable system in many of these businesses is the person who has been there 20 years, and what they know has never been written down,” said Urav Shah, founder and CEO of Evos. According to the company’s announcement, 99.3% of U.S. motor carriers operate fewer than 100 trucks, while 93% of U.S. manufacturers have fewer than 100 employees. Evos argues that these businesses need automation that does not require extensive technical resources or lengthy implementation projects. “The platform is fully self-serve: work that would take a consultant or an implementation partner 9 to 18 months to deliver, an Evos operator takes on in 24 hours from discovery to deployment,” the company said. One freight brokerage, MyFreightWorld, is using an Evos operator to audit less-than-truckload (LTL) carrier invoices against its transportation management system. Evos said the operator made nearly 3,500 audit decisions over two months with 97% accuracy and identified billing discrepancies valued at more than $600,000 over the most recent five-week period. The $600,000 represents the value of discrepancies identified between invoices involving MyFreightWorld and its end customers, rather than money recovered or savings realized, Evos noted. The company did not explain how it calculated the 97% accuracy rate or specify the sample used to measure performance. Broader context LTL invoice audits can uncover billing errors involving accessorial fees, fuel surcharges and freight classifications. A 2024 analysis by AFS Logistics illustrates the volume of discrepancies that can arise in LTL billing. The company found 11,881 errors in a review of nearly 250,000 invoices. Inaccurate accessorial charges accounted for 42.8% of the errors, followed by fuel surcharges at 14.4% and freight misclassification at 12.3%. The findings reflect AFS’s review rather than the entire LTL market. The startup’s approach comes as logistics companies continue to seek measurable returns from AI investments. A Boston Consulting Group report published in August 2026 found that only 13% of executives surveyed at 30 leading global logistics companies said AI was delivering measurable financial results, despite two-thirds of respondents reporting a dedicated AI budget and strategy. The findings highlight the gap between investing in AI and translating that investment into measurable business results. For smaller operators, the cost and complexity of implementation can also determine whether automation is practical. Evos is betting that software capable of learning established workflows and executing tasks within existing systems can lower those barriers. Why this matters AI startups are increasingly targeting routine logistics work, but proving that automation delivers measurable financial results remains a challenge. Evos’ work with MyFreightWorld offers a specific example of how AI operators could be used in freight brokerage operations, though the startup has not disclosed how much money the technology has recovered or independently verified its reported accuracy rate.

Tesla had 103 job openings with Semi in the title posted at its Sparks, Nevada, truck plant as of Oct. 16, according to Tesla’s careers site. The listings come three weeks after the plant started high-volume Semi production on Sept. 24. The hiring is for a 1.7-million-square-foot factory designed to build 50,000 trucks a year, as fleets line up orders for a truck Tesla first showed in 2017. Tesla has not said how many Semis the plant is building now. Before the dedicated line opened, the Semi fleet numbered just under 200 pilot trucks, delivered to customers including DHL, PepsiCo and US Foods. Drayage carrier IMC Logistics ordered 50 Semis this month, following WattEV’s 370-truck order in May. Tesla was also named lead manufacturer on a 2,500-truck order through the ZET SCALE alliance in September, though the alliance did not say how many of those trucks will be Semis. Tesla CEO Elon Musk told analysts in July, “We have started production with the Tesla semi-truck.” The company’s second-quarter shareholder update said production was expected to begin later in the year. Semi openings span assembly to dispatch The Semi listings include quality technicians for stamping, body-in-white and powertrain; equipment maintenance technicians for general assembly and the drivetrain; and a CDL driver, a dispatcher and an endurance fleet driver. Several are night-shift roles, including a battery production supervisor, associate production managers and stamping quality technicians. Tesla is also hiring construction staff for the Semi site, from a pipefitter to an electrical superintendent. The Semi roles are part of a larger list: Tesla’s site showed 490 openings in Sparks, 301 of them in manufacturing. The company’s Sparks listings on Indeed include production roles on battery, Powerwall, drive unit and LFP cell lines. Semi service and charging build out beyond Nevada Another 66 Semi postings sit outside Sparks. In the U.S., Tesla is hiring Semi service managers, supervisors and technical instructors in 11 cities, including Laredo, Texas; Elizabeth, New Jersey; and Chicago. On the charging side, Pilot and Tesla opened their first Megacharger site in Ellabell, Georgia, Oct. 8, with 12 more under construction. Tesla is also hiring for the Semi in Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium and the U.K., where it is targeting customer deliveries by the end of 2027. Postings there include service technicians in Berlin, Düsseldorf and Lyon, France. The first European trucks will come from Nevada. “We’ve got ample capacity to support our initial wave,” Dan Priestley, who leads the Semi program, said in a September keynote at IAA Transportation in Hannover, Germany. Output figures remain undisclosed Tesla’s third-quarter delivery report on Oct. 2 did not mention the Semi, and the company has not disclosed pricing. It reports quarterly results after the market closes Oct. 21. Semi postings are down from the spring even as Tesla’s overall Nevada postings rose. Stocktwits counted 146 Semi roles among nearly 471 full-time Nevada jobs on Tesla’s site in April, though it did not say how it identified Semi roles. On Oct. 16, the site listed 103 Semi-titled roles and 537 full-time Nevada openings. Priestley has also said “Tesla is not a heavy truck company yet,” FreightWaves reported in its coverage of the Sept. 24 inauguration. Why it matters: Tesla is staffing a Nevada plant built for 50,000 trucks a year as IMC, WattEV and ZET SCALE orders arrive. It has not said how many Semis the plant builds today, and its Oct. 21 results are the next chance to find out.

Naming a chicken and describing its favorite habits is enough to make preschoolers choose poultry less often. This effect translates into verbal declarations and actual meal choices, but food preferences still most often win over empathy, according to a new paper by researchers from SWPS University.
What happens when political violence is presented as a justified response to threat or injustice coming from an out-group? A study by Ursula Daxecker, director at the Max Planck Institute for Politics and Social Science in Göttingen, and Neeraj Prasad of the University of Amsterdam, published in The Journal of Politics, finds that legitimizing violence can increase public approval of both violence and the parties involved in it. Among BJP supporters, the effect went even further: when violence was portrayed as justified, they were less approving of a peaceful response by their own party.
