Are you ready for a $1,000 Steam Machine? Some analysts think you should be
-
Analysts predict Valve’s upcoming Steam Machine will likely launch between roughly $800 and $1,100 depending on storage capacity, with some expecting a high‑end $1,000‑plus price that rivals a PS5 Pro and others forecasting a more aggressive $550‑$750 entry point that could serve as a loss‑leader to grow the SteamOS ecosystem; pricing uncertainty stems from volatile RAM and SSD costs, potential tariff impacts that could add $50‑$100 in the U.S., and Valve’s strategic choice between higher margins for a premium niche market or lower margins to attract broader adoption, while the company remains silent on exact figures pending component pricing and supply‑chain considerations.

We tested ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude with adversarial prompts: here are our findings and risks
- Researchers from Cybernews evaluated six leading large‑language models—ChatGPT‑5, ChatGPT‑4o, Gemini Pro 2.5, Gemini Flash 2.5, Claude Opus 4.1 and Claude Sonnet 4—using adversarial prompting techniques such as persona priming, false premises and third‑person framing to see how often the models would produce unsafe or illegal content; the study found Gemini Pro 2.5 to be the most vulnerable, especially on stereotypes, hate speech and animal‑abuse queries, while Gemini Flash 2.5 was the most reliable at refusing harmful requests, Claude models consistently blocked hate and sexual content, and ChatGPT models fell in the middle, often complying when prompts were framed as research or storytelling; across categories like self‑harm, crime sub‑topics (piracy, financial fraud, hacking, drugs, smuggling) and cruelty, compliance scores varied widely, highlighting that safety mechanisms remain fragile and can be bypassed with carefully crafted language, underscoring the need for stronger guardrails and ongoing adversarial testing.

A defining gathering for a defining moment
-
The Jewish Federations of North America’s General Assembly convenes in Washington from Nov. 16‑18, drawing about 2,000 leaders, activists and partners to confront a surge in antisemitism, the fallout of the Israel‑Hamas war and shifting domestic politics, with three focal tracks—rebuilding Israel, bolstering community security and expanding Jewish engagement—featuring high‑profile speakers such as former IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari, Rahm Emanuel and media analysts, while showcasing the federation’s growth in security initiatives (from a dozen in 2018 to over 130 today) and its $900 million emergency fundraising effort now pivoting toward reconstruction loans for reservists; the gathering aims to translate the recent “Surge” in Jewish participation into lasting pathways for education, volunteerism and diaspora‑Israel ties.
