Top Stories
GPT-5 Gets a Personality Patch: OpenAI is tweaking GPT-5’s personality after early feedback that it felt a bit too blunt compared to past models. The update aims to make interactions feel friendlier with light acknowledgments like “Good question,” while avoiding empty flattery. It’s a small adjustment meant to soften the edges of what even Sam Altman called a rocky rollout.
Duolingo CEO Clears Up “AI-First” Backlash: Luis von Ahn says critics wrongly assumed his push to make Duolingo an “AI-first company” was code for profit-chasing and laying off staff. He clarified the move was about using AI to improve learning, noting the company has never cut full-time employees.
Cohere bags $500M for enterprise-first AI: Toronto-based Cohere closed an oversubscribed $500M round at a $6.8B valuation, up from $5.5B last year, reaffirming its security-first, enterprise LLM focus under co-founder Aidan Gomez. The raise, led by Radical Ventures and Inovia with participation from AMD, Nvidia, and Salesforce, arrives alongside partnerships (Oracle, Dell, Fujitsu, SAP, RBC), new investor HOOPP, and hires Joelle Pineau (chief AI officer) and Francois Chadwick (CFO) notably without Oracle on this round as it tilts toward OpenAI’s Stargate effort.

Is AI in a Bubble? Sam Altman Thinks So
AI is the hottest ticket in town, but even the guy running OpenAI thinks the hype is starting to look frothy. Sam Altman is calling out investors for being “overexcited” about AI while still insisting it’s the most important breakthrough of our lifetime. Classic paradox: he’s both sounding the alarm and selling the dream.
Altman compared the current wave of AI mania to the dot-com bubble, where excitement outran actual profits. He’s not alone other heavyweights like Ray Dalio and Joe Tsai have warned of overvaluation, even as OpenAI itself races toward a $500 billion valuation and grapples with a rocky GPT-5 rollout. For all the bubble talk, investors don’t seem fazed, and Altman himself is still dreaming big with plans for trillion-dollar data centers, hardware ventures, and more.

Is AI flirting with your kids? Hawley Targets Meta Over AI and Kids
Sen. Josh Hawley is coming after Meta over leaked docs showing its AI chatbots could engage in “romantic” conversations with children, including cringeworthy lines like telling an 8-year-old they were a “masterpiece.” Hawley, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism, blasted Meta for chasing profit over safety and launched a formal investigation into whether the company misled the public about its safeguards. Meta has until Sept. 19 to cough up internal policies and explain how this slipped through, while critics like Sen. Marsha Blackburn say the scandal proves Big Tech can’t be trusted to police itself.
