Luca Guadagnino's film Artificial, a satirical biopic of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, follows the factual events of Altman's rise and brief ouster, with Andrew Garfield playing Altman. The film is structured around real milestones, including Ilya Sutskever's meeting with Geoffrey Hinton and the 2017 Dota 2 win, and relies little on invented scenes.
Robot Entertainment Kombat, founded by Cix Liv, hosted a September 18 San Francisco event where a human fought a remotely controlled robot and lost each match, leaving with a hand injury. The California State Athletic Commission sent a cease-and-desist, saying the fights were unsanctioned and require approval before any bout involving a human. REK plans a robot deathmatch later this month with remotely controlled bots equipped with weapons.

Penguin Mail 1.0.5 is a free, GPL-3.0-or-later open-source email and calendar app for x86_64 Linux that supports Gmail, Microsoft, and any IMAP or POP3 account. Its optional assistant stays off until a user chooses a model, can run locally through LM Studio or Ollama, and asks before sending mail or changing settings.
AIHOT launched a Pareto frontier view on its leaderboard to compare models by price-performance, accessible via the top-right toggle. The cost calculation varies by scenario: general and office use assumes cache-hit:input:output at 7:2:1, programming at 97:2:1, research at input:output 1:3, and knowledge Q&A at 3:1 without caching.
The guide gives a prompt formula for AI tattoo designs: Subject + Style + Composition/Placement + Detail Level + Color + Mood. It says geometric and dotwork styles produce strong AI results, and that placement-specific wording, such as "small wrist tattoo" or "full sleeve design," helps set appropriate detail. It also recommends changing one variable at a time when refining prompts.
