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.”

AI Slop Channels Are Ripping Off Vintage Audio Creators And It's Worse Than You Think - Novalux Stereophonic​

AI slop channels are taking over the Vintage HiFi space. Learn what makes them tick and how they are ripping off your favorite creators.

I discuss how AI tools are used to generate low effort faceless style content, how to spot an offending channel, and how they abuse fair use law to take advantage of the hard working creators that you love.

Titles, topics, thumbnails, B roll... Nothing is off limits for these shameless channels and the lengths some of them go to on their march to monetization is jaw dropping.

If your channel has been abused by one of these bad actors let the community know in the comments. This video has been intentionally marked as containing AI generated content since I am showing photo realistic thumbnails created by the offending AI channels, generating realistic-looking scenes that didn't actually occur.

AI use
Was AI used to generate or edit your content in any of the following ways?

  • Makes a real person appear to say or do something they didn’t say or do
  • Alters footage of a real event or place
  • Generates a realistic-looking scene that didn’t actually occur (Strangers inside of my lab)
