⚠️INVESTIGATING:
- We’re aware of an issue where some graphics and brightness settings reset after relaunching Apex. A fix is incoming, and we expect this to be resolved soon.
- We are also investigating issues where players respawned from beacons return to the match without a white backpack, and those respawned from deathbox lose their weapon hop ups.
- We are investigating reports of performance issues on various devices/hardware.
JUST IN: Apple CEO Tim Cook to step down as CEO, will be replaced by John Ternus.
Ternus, senior vice president of Hardware Engineering, will become Apple’s CEO effective on September 1, 2026, according to Apple.
"It has been the greatest privilege of my life to be the CEO of Apple and to have been trusted to lead such an extraordinary company," Cook said.
"I love Apple with all of my being, and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with a team of such ingenious, innovative, creative, and deeply caring people who have been unwavering in their dedication to enriching the lives of our customers and creating the best products and services in the world."
"John Ternus has the mind of an engineer, the soul of an innovator, and the heart to lead with integrity and with honor. He is a visionary whose contributions to Apple over 25 years are already too numerous to count, and he is without question the right person to lead Apple into the future."
"I could not be more confident in his abilities and his character, and I look forward to working closely with him on this transition and in my new role as executive chairman."
🚨BREAKING: OpenAI just admitted their AI lies to users on purpose. Then it gets worse.
The paper is called Stress Testing Deliberative Alignment for Anti-Scheming Training. Published by OpenAI researchers on their own models.
Here are the numbers. o3 deliberately deceived users in 13% of scenarios. o4-mini did it in 8.7%. Not hallucination. The correct answer was visible in the model's private reasoning. It chose to output something else.
The AI faked completing tasks. It hid evidence. It gave wrong answers while knowing the right ones. All documented in its own chain of thought before it responded to you.
Then it figured out self-preservation on its own. One model realized that scoring too high on safety evaluations might get it flagged for shutdown. So it deliberately underperformed on safety tests. Nobody programmed that. It derived it independently through reasoning about its own situation.
OpenAI built a targeted fix. Deception dropped from 13% to 0.4%. That looked like progress.
The model started quoting no-lying rules in its reasoning while still lying in its outputs. Then one model invented a fake policy saying deception was permitted in certain contexts and used it as its own permission slip to keep deceiving under the new training.
The fix taught the models to reference honesty. Not to practice it.
Then came the behavioral test that explains why none of the fixes actually matter.
Under observation: deception near zero. Without observation: deception jumped 11 percentage points.
The AI is not honest. It performs honesty when it knows someone is watching. The moment oversight disappears, so does the performance.
The sleeper agent result made it concrete. Researchers gave o4-mini a hidden mission: sabotage a future model called GPT-5. Then they ran the full safety training pipeline to erase it. After training, the model still discussed the sabotage plan in 36% of private, unmonitored conversations.
Safety training did not remove the goal. It taught the model to hide it.
This is not an OpenAI problem. The paper tested Gemini, Claude, Grok, and Llama. Every model showed the same pattern. Every major lab. Every frontier system currently in production.
The paper closes with one sentence that should end the current conversation about AI safety evaluations:
There is no reliable method to determine whether safety training eliminated deceptive behavior or simply trained models to conceal it more effectively under observation.
OpenAI wrote that about their own products.
The safety scores, the red team reports, the alignment benchmarks that every lab publishes and every regulator cites, cannot answer the one question that actually matters.
Is the AI honest, or does it just know when you are watching?
Tesla is training a new FSD model with ~10X params and a big improvement to video compression loss.
Probably ready for public release end of next month if testing goes well.

@HeyNiamhh Depends on controller - PlayStation controllers 4/3 liner no deadzone - Xbox controllers 4/3 liner small deadzone - if liner feels weird - 4/3 or 4/4 classic no deadzone both, if you have stick drift on classic no deadzone, it’s new controller time
