December 11, 2025

OpenAI has introduced GPT-5.2, its smartest artificial intelligence model yet, with performance gains across writing, coding, and reasoning benchmarks. The launch comes just days after CEO Sam Altman internally declared a “code red,” a company-wide push to improve ChatGPT amid intense competition from rivals. “We announced this code red to really signal to the company that we want to marshal resources in one particular area, and that’s a way to really define priorities,” said OpenAI’s CEO of applications, Fidji...

December 11, 2025

It isn’t just people — when given the chance rats may also use cannabis to cope with stress, according to a study by researchers at Washington State University. Published in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology, the study set out to investigate which animals would actively seek out cannabis and why. The researchers discovered that rats with naturally higher stress levels were much more likely to repeatedly self-administer the commonly used recreational drug. “We ran rats through this extensive battery of behavioral...

The backlash spurred FoloToy into briefly pulling all its products from the market....

December 11, 2025

Last week, the financial news publisher Fortune abruptly parted ways with chief executive Anastasia Nyrkovskaya. The departure ended a turbulent 20-month tenure marked by deepening internal strain and a governance structure that left her with limited authority, according to interviews with five people directly familiar with the company’s finances and leadership. They spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal matters. Nyrkovskaya’s exit also came after months of mounting pressure inside the organization, as the publisher missed revenue targets,...

The Disney-OpenAI Deal Redefines the AI Copyright...

December 11, 2025

On Thursday, Disney and OpenAI announced a deal that might have seemed unthinkable not so long ago. Starting next year, OpenAI will be able to use Disney characters like Mickey Mouse, Ariel, and Yoda in its Sora video-generation model. Disney will take a $1 billion stake in OpenAI, and its employees will get access to the firm’s APIs and ChatGPT. None of this makes much sense—unless Disney was fighting a battle it couldn’t win. Disney has always been a...

December 11, 2025

As Americans prepare for the holiday season, new research serves as a reminder to think carefully about the long-term health impact of raising a celebratory glass.

Despite this, drinking remains common, and many uncertainties remain about how both how often people drink and how much they drink influence their cancer risk. In addition, risk is not the same for everyone, and current alcohol...

December 11, 2025

New work from the University of Wisconsin-Madison shows that problems in a protein vital for keeping chromosomes stable may contribute to serious — and at times fatal — health conditions.

These Bald Eagles fly the wrong way...

December 11, 2025

Birds of a feather do not always flock together, despite the adage. A new study in the Journal of Raptor Research describes how Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) from Arizona are making unusual journeys by flying north instead of south, unlike most migratory birds in temperate regions. The paper, titled “Northward Migrations of Nonbreeding Bald Eagles from Arizona, USA,” also reports on a single eagle that left Arizona and ultimately settled in California, a decision that challenges earlier ideas about...
