A Texas lawmaker has proposed a bill that could be used to keep certain kinds of art off view, the Fort Worth Report reports. On March 6, representative David Lowe filed House Bill 3958, which outlines a proposed civil penalty against any museum showing “certain obscene or harmful material.” The Texas Penal Code defines “obscene” as any kind of performance or material that depicts sexual acts without literary, artistic, political, or scientific value. If passed, Lowe’s bill would ensure that museums could be fined up to $500,000 per item and day that an “obscene” display remains on view. Additionally, those…

Patti Smith performed at a New York City rally Tuesday as part of an effort to prevent a downtown park from being converted into affordable housing. The Elizabeth Street Garden, located between between Spring and Prince streets, has long been a community gathering place for artists and city dwellers.

Even with today’s seemingly fast pace of AI breakthroughs, the development of long-promised technologies such as self-driving cars, housekeeping robots, and conversational companions has turned out to be much harder…

When OpenAI unveiled its o3 “reasoning” AI model in December, the company partnered with the creators of ARC-AGI, a benchmark designed to test highly capable AI, to showcase o3’s capabilities. Months later, the results have been revised, and they now look slightly less impressive than they did initially. Last week, the Arc Prize Foundation, which maintains and administers ARC-AGI, updated its approximate computing costs for o3. The organization originally estimated that the best-performing configuration of o3 it tested, o3 high, cost around $3,000 to solve a single ARC-AGI problem. Now the Arc Prize Foundation thinks that the cost is much…

Cybersecurity and cyberattacks cost hundreds of billions of dollars annually.1 Rapid progress in AI will dramatically increase the stakes.In the worst case, AI may greatly reduce the effort required to unleash a devastating attack on critical infrastructure systems. New AI models are already being used in the wild to increase the scope and reduce the cost of attacks,2 a trend which will only accelerate.3Attacks on critical infrastructure are limited due to restraint on behalf of state-level actors. However, AI may soon enable unaccountable non-state actors to carry out large-scale, sophisticated attacks.AI will also enable better cyberdefense. However, due to structural…

Tesla bull Wedbush has responded to the company’s lackluster Q1 delivery figures, which were released on Wednesday morning in a new note from analyst Dan Ives. Tesla reported deliveries of 336,681 vehicles in the first quarter of the year, a far cry from the Wall Street estimate of 352,000 and whisper numbers of roughly 350,000. At first glance, it seems to be a disaster, but Tesla said it lost “several weeks of production” in Q1 due to the ramp of the new Model Y at all four of its vehicle production factories. Tesla (TSLA) reports 336,681 vehicle deliveries for Q1…

On the heels of releasing its most capable AI model yet, Google is making some changes to the Gemini team. A new report from Semafor reveals that longtime Googler Sissie Hsiao will step down from her role leading the Gemini team effective immediately. In her place, Google is appointing Josh Woodward, who currently leads Google Labs. According to a memo from DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis, this change is designed to “sharpen our focus on the next evolution of the Gemini app.” This new responsibility won’t take Woodward away from his role at Google Labs—he will remain in charge of that…
