How can startups and developers actually monetize their AI products? A startup called Koah, which recently raised $5 million in seed funding, is betting that ads will be a big part of the answer. If you spend any time online, there’s a good chance you’ve seen plenty of ugly, AI-generated ads — but few to none when interacting with AI chatbots themselves. Koah co-founder and CEO Nic Baird argued that will inevitably change. “Once these things get outside San Francisco, there’s only one way to make [them profitable] on a global scale,” Baird told TechCrunch over Zoom. “It’s happened time…

In a blog post summarizing the paper, OpenAI defines hallucinations as “plausible but false statements generated by language models,” and it acknowledges that despite improvements, hallucinations “remain a fundamental challenge for all large language models” — one that will never be completely eliminated. To illustrate the point, researchers say that when they asked “a widely used chatbot” about the title of Adam Tauman Kalai’s Ph.D. dissertation, they got three different answers,…
TORONTO (AP) — Nia DaCosta was thunderstruck when she first read Ibsen’s “Hedda Gabler” in drama school. But when she saw a production of it, something was missing.“I was like, ‘Oh, that’s not as crazy as I thought it would feel,’” DaCosta says. “I thought: I guess I knew what I wanted to pull out of it as a text.”More than a decade after that first encounter, and coming on the heels of her Marvel Studios film “The Marvels,” DaCosta was to premiere her “Hedda” at the Toronto International Film Festival on Sunday. The film, starring Tessa Thompson, is the…

Hyundai’s electric air taxi startup Supernal has paused work on its aircraft program after a rocky few months that saw staff cuts and the departure of its CEO and CTO, two people familiar with the matter told TechCrunch. The shakeup comes at a time when Supernal has barely gotten off the ground — literally. The first test flight of its technology demonstrator happened earlier this year. And though Supernal has performed subsequent tests, the company was still working toward its first untethered test flight before the pause. The company had planned to launch a commercial service in 2028. Supernal announced…
