Large language models (LLMs) are more likely to report being self-aware when prompted to think about themselves if their capacity to lie is suppressed, new research suggests.In experiments on artificial intelligence (AI) systems including GPT, Claude and Gemini, researchers found that models that were discouraged from lying were more likely to describe being aware or having subjective experiences when prompted to think about their own thinking.Although all models could claim this to some extent, such claims were stronger and more common when researchers suppressed their ability to roleplay or give deceptive responses.

Google announced the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro only weeks ago, but Amazon has already chopped prices significantly for Black Friday. The Pixel 10 Pro 128GB slides to $749 from its debut price of $999, while the more affordable Pixel 10 (128BG) reaches $599 from $799.

Protect Those HeadphonesSatechi 2-in-1 Headphone Stand Photograph: Julian ChokkattuEven durable headphones are easy to damage. We have lost pairs to folks standing on them, cats and robot vacuums attacking the cables, and chairs rolling over them.

Even if your kids only sometimes remember to use it, that could extend the likely lifespan of their headphones.We use the Satechi 2-in-1 Headphone Stand with Wireless Charger ($56), which also has a spot for charging your phone on the base, but there’s no…

NordPass also offers a family plan that comes complete with six accounts; otherwise, it’s identical to the personal plan. Again, you save a lot on the initial term, but the family plan renews at around $72 per year. That’s $12 more expensive than 1Password’s family plan, though a solid $13 cheaper than Keeper’s family offering.Getting StartedFor someone like me, the import process of a password manager is extremely important. I have over 600 entries across logins, credit cards, addresses, notes, and more, and the import process isn’t always as smooth as I’d like. Thankfully, NordPass doesn’t fall into common import…

Today’s NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features the spiral galaxy NGC 4535, which is situated about 50 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo (the Maiden). Through a small telescope, this galaxy appears extremely faint, giving it the nickname ‘Lost Galaxy’. With a mirror spanning nearly eight feet (2.4 meters) across and its location above Earth’s light-obscuring atmosphere, Hubble can easily observe dim galaxies like NGC 4535 and pick out features like its massive spiral arms and central bar of stars. This image features NGC 4535’s young star clusters, which dot the galaxy’s spiral arms. Glowing-pink clouds surround many of…

A great sound, professional-level noise cancellation, and that Apple integration make for value that justifies the investment, especially at this Black Friday pricing which undercuts rivals. See…
