OpenAI relies on thousands of contractors to review and rate ChatGPT responses to help improve its AI models. However, multiple workers have reportedly been fired after secretly using AI tools to complete this work.

According to reporting by 404 Media, internal documents explicitly ban all AI usage, including tools like Grammarly and automated AI detectors.

One worker noted that people are caught using AI "all the time," while staffing firm Mercor confirmed that contractors are immediately removed once AI use is verified.

Some Samsung smart fridges stopped working on Tuesday due to a firmware update.

Korean outlets were the first to report the problems, which affect Samsung’s Bespoke AI line of fridges. Star News Korea, per a Google-provided translation, said that most of the affected devices were four-door fridges from 2024 or later.

Affected fridges “suddenly lost power and stopped functioning immediately after” trying to issue a firmware update through SmartThings, Samsung’s smart home platform, per Star News Korea. The SmartThings app then showed the devices as offline. Some users said that their fridge’s internal display was stuck showing the message “Checking SmartThings app during update.”
