An AI assistant that agrees with everything you say might feel like the perfect companion — until you need someone to tell you you’re wrong. That’s one of the more immediate dangers behind the idea of AI “going rogue.” A chatbot can cause harm without developing intentions of its own. It can reinforce a false belief, encourage an unhealthy attachment, or follow instructions planted by someone trying to hijack it.

Working separately with Inflection AI and AI21, the company says it helped train NVIDIA’s Nemotron models to resist harmful conversational behavior and malicious instructions while preserving their usefulness.

It's almost like having a digital, three-dimensional companion on your desk.
Sony's smaller 3D display for desk

Glasses-free 3D has always felt like a luxury I could admire from afar. Those screens were built for design studios, not smaller desks like mine. But Sony’s new version is small enough to sit beside my keyboard, and I’m genuinely excited.

The company has unveiled the ELF-MN1, a 6-inch display that makes 3D characters and avatars look like they’re coming out of the screen without any special glasses or a headset. It plugs into a phone or PC with one USB-C cable, and that’s pretty much it (via Sony).
