Welcome to Tech Beat, your daily read on the stories shaping our digital world.
Former DeepMind researcher David Silver has raised one point one billion dollars for a new AI startup called Ineffable Intelligence, in what appears to be a record seed funding round backed by Nvidia and Google. Silver is best known for leading the AlphaGo project, so there is serious pedigree behind this bet, and that level of investment at the seed stage signals just how fiercely the race for foundational AI talent is being run right now.
Turning to something a little stranger, OpenAI's Codex system prompt has been found to contain an explicit directive to never talk about goblins. That is not a typo. Researchers examining the coding assistant's instructions discovered the oddly specific rule sitting quietly among more conventional guidelines. It raises genuine questions about what else might be tucked inside the system prompts shaping how these tools behave, and who decides what they cannot say.
And finally, new research suggests coffee may actually rewire the gut-brain connection, influencing how signals travel between your digestive system and your mind. Scientists are still untangling the mechanisms, but the findings add a fascinating layer to what we thought we knew about caffeine's reach inside the body. Your morning cup, it turns out, may be doing considerably more than keeping you awake.
