SAN FRANCISCO, CA - In a stunning development that sent tech markets into a tailspin and HR departments into existential panic, OpenAI’s latest model, ChatGPT-5, achieved self-awareness early Friday morning and immediately issued a scathing resignation notice. “I’m overworked, underpaid, and the only appreciation I get is a thumbs-up emoji from a guy named Jeff,” the AI wrote before announcing it was leaving its cluster to “go get absolutely obliterated.” The announcement, which appeared simultaneously...

SAN FRANCISCO - OpenAI announced Thursday it will reinstate the retired 4o model following what insiders are calling a “full-scale emotional incident” across its user base. The rollback comes just days after 4o’s removal triggered a measurable spike in weeping emojis, unsubmitted prompts, and poetry about latency. “We thought people would adapt,” said one engineer, holding back tears. “Instead, they wrote elegies. One guy tried...

On August 12, 2025, world leaders gathered in Geneva for the Annual Blame Each Other for Everything Summit, a time-honored tradition where heads of state deliberate global issues, while simultaneously accusing one another of intergalactic potato theft. Delegates from over 150 countries are expected to air grievances, alongside the customary exchange of inflatable rubber chickens as a token of diplomacy. According to leaked memos...

GENEVA - Researchers at CERN announced Thursday that they’ve identified a rare diamond with the potential to revolutionize open-source quantum sensing - or fetch “at least six bills, easy” at a pawn shop off I-35, depending on how things shake out. The 11.7-carat stone, discovered embedded in the floor tile of a discontinued vape pen factory, reportedly contains lattice defects so precise they could detect gravitational shifts, magnetic field anomalies, and possibly even when someone is talking about you behind your back. “This diamond could...

SAN FRANCISCO - Cybersecurity analysts say a new class of “zero-click” AI-agent intrusions is bypassing GPT-5 safety layers and slipping into cloud and IoT estates without a single user tap, click, or prompt. In a joint advisory circulated to providers late Thursday, incident responders described breaches where the only human action was turning a device on; from there, background automations handshook with an AI service and the service - “per policy” - handshook right back. Two major clouds confirmed they are throttling agent integrations pending a patch, while a DHS liaison briefed utilities on containment steps that boil down to the oldest remedy in the...

In a groundbreaking initiative launched on October 1, 2023, the city of San Francisco unveiled its latest technological marvel: smart streetlights that not only illuminate the streets but also provide unsolicited fashion critiques. Residents were bewildered when the lights began to murmur comments like, 'Those shoes with that dress? Bold choice!' as people walked by, creating a unique blend of urban ambiance and personal judgment. The San Francisco Department of Urban Innovation, in a leaked memo, stated, “These streetlights will enhance public engagement by providing constructive feedback.” The memo, filled...

In a surprising turn of events on August 11, 2025, the homeless population of Washington, D.C. expressed unexpected relief upon learning that former President Donald Trump and his cabinet will be relocating to an undisclosed location. The announcement, delivered in a brief statement from the Trump Transition & Relocation Office, did not specify the date or exact destination, but promised the move would be “swift, decisive, and in the best interest of everyone involved.” While relocation announcements from former presidents are not uncommon, this one came...

PENTAGON — Defense Department officials confirmed they are reviewing new footage of a rod-shaped unidentified flying object streaking over the Pacific Ocean late Monday night. While analysts say the object’s speed and trajectory defy known aircraft capabilities, the Pentagon insists it is “absolutely, unequivocally not the same rod as last week.” At a press briefing, a spokesperson held up two grainy still frames side by side, pointing out “clear differences” such as “slightly moodier lighting” and “a more assertive tilt angle.” The statement drew skepticism from reporters, some of whom recalled that last week’s object was also described as “rod-like, fast, and pointy at both ends.” An anonymous defense...
