Thieves stealing from a vending machine don't realize that they're being charged for everything they're taking. The hotel's got cameras all over the place. There's a camera right there in the corner. This thing's got cameras all over the place. and it's telling you in pictures. So even if you're illiterate or an Egyptian, you can see what the hell is going on here.

The FBI and NSA jointly announced that Russia has been systematically compromising the security of home and small office routers since at least 2024. They obtained a court order to allow them to remotely reset thousands of affected devices in the US, but if yours is one of them, it needs to be urgently replaced … CNET reports. Federal agencies, including the FBI and NSA, disclosed on April 7 that a unit of Russia’s military intelligence directorate, the GRU group known as APT28 or Fancy Bear, has been systematically compromising home and small office routers since at least 2024, using...

In a lawsuit filed in a Florida federal court Monday, the family of Tiru Chabba, one of two people killed in April 2025, argued the suspected gunman Phoenix Ikner carried out the mass shooting with “input and information” provided by ChatGPT in the months and days leading up to the attack. ..... Amid Ikner’s alleged months of talking with ChatGPT about imminent harm, Chabba’s lawyers said the chatbot either “defectively failed to connect the dots” or was not designed to recognize the threat. ChatGPT allegedly explained how to use the guns Ikner obtained, including how to load and operate them...

Now, he's back to rethink fast food entirelyWill Young wasn’t even sure his order was possible. He’d heard rumors, of course, but as a kid who’d grown up on the internet of the 1990s, he knew that website whispers didn’t always translate to the real world. He and his buddies, out for a meandering night in Las Vegas, would just have to ask. So, around dinner time on Halloween night in 2004, Young’s laid-back group, including the late Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh, stepped up to the counter of a Nevada In-N-Out to test their fate. Would it be possible,...

An X user posted the photo of the 49-year-old politician posing on a bed wearing a skimpy slip, blasting Italy’s first woman prime minister as “shameful.” Meloni shared a screenshot of the post on Tuesday with an assurance that the photo is indeed fake — albeit fabulous. “Several fake photos of me are circulating, generated with artificial intelligence … I must admit that whoever created them, at least in the attached case, has also improved me quite a bit,” wrote the politician, who was elected in 2022. She went on to warn against ne’er-do-wells who use artificial intelligence to dupe...

In this age of technology, it's not uncommon to come across at least one AI-generated video with every scroll on social media. But recently, a particular trope of short-form videos took the internet by storm - in the form of snowy mountains, a wood-chopping man, braised duck and a mystical woman draped in white. "Did you save a fox on a snowy mountain?" is a question that has made its rounds with the release of a Chinese AI-generated microdrama. Created to appear like a period drama made in the 1970s, it follows a traveller on a snowy mountain who saves...

Data centers are big buildings full of machines that process what we do on our phones and computers. Artificial intelligence requires even more computing power, so companies are eager to build more data centers. The usual suspects are freaking out. “We must stop it!” says Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). “Slow it down!” demands Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). Data centers do use lots of power, and they need water to cool them down because their computers generate heat. One center can use as much power and water as a small town. “Uses resources like a madman!” says one protester. Last year,...

When Apple named its next chief executive last month it did so without ceremony. Tim Cook will become executive chairman on September 1; John Ternus, his senior vice-president of hardware engineering, will succeed him as CEO. The announcement came with a photograph, not a keynote: the two men walking through Apple Park, the circular glass campus in Cupertino that Steve Jobs designed with the British architect Norman Foster and did not live to see completed. It was the first Apple succession of the post-masterpiece age, and the prose matched. Apple said the transition had been approved unanimously by its board...

he deal, announced Wednesday, May 6, 2026, addresses Anthropic’s growing pains head-on. Claude’s popularity created a problem most startups dream of having: too much demand. Users on Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans faced strict throttling during peak hours, turning productive workflows into frustrating waiting games. Now those five-hour rate limits disappear for most paying subscribers. Computing Power Meets Rocket Science SpaceX’s Memphis data center becomes Claude’s new computational backbone. Ami Vora, Anthropic’s head of product, highlighted the partnership at their developer conference in San Francisco, stating they’re utilizing “the full capacity of Colossus One” to improve service for Claude...

The video “AI Execs are Running a 1948 Circus Trick…” by Brendan Dell argues that AI companies are utilizing the **Barnum Effect**—a psychological phenomenon where individuals believe generic descriptions are highly specific to them—to inflate their valuations and influence policy through “fear-based marketing.”

Scientists in Germany have developed a new silicon-germanium chip that achieves the world’s highest combined sampling rate and bandwidth in a track-and-hold circuit, a key component in ultra-fast signal processing. The advance could improve how data is handled in communication systems, artificial intelligence, and cloud infrastructure.The work comes from the Heinz Nixdorf Institute at Paderborn University as part of the PACE project. Researchers say the new chip achieves the highest combination of sampling rate and bandwidth ever demonstrated in a track-and-hold circuit, a core component in converting analog signals into digital data.In simple terms, the chip captures extremely fast-changing signals...

'How did we get here as a culture?' Paltrow asked Swisher. 'Obviously there's so much revenue and profit driving this whole thing, that's at the heart of it,' she continued. 'But how do you think we got to this place in culture where nothing matters and now all that matters is kind of these super rich white dudes who are breaking rules, setting rules, seemingly not caring so much about the downstream impact on everything, from health to culture.' Swisher responded, 'I think we have an idolatry of innovators, an idolatry of wealth, and if you're wealthy, you must be...

Primm Valley Casino Resorts, the last of the three major casinos near the California-Nevada border, will permanently close its doors on July 4, KTLA sister station KLAS reported. The move came to light after a letter was sent to employees asking them to vacate their housing by July 6, two days after the shuttering of all Primm properties, according to documents obtained by KLAS. “We recognize this is an extraordinarily difficult time and we are deeply grateful for the dedication each of you has brought to the Primm Valley Casino Resorts property,” the company said in a notice of termination...

By the time doctors detect pancreatic cancer, it’s often too late to treat effectively. But a new study suggests that artificial intelligence might be able to find signs of the disease before tumors are visible on a scan. An AI model developed at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, detected abnormalities on patients’ CT scans up to three years before they were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, according to research published this week in the journal Gut. The scientists behind the model, which is now being evaluated in a clinical trial, trained it by feeding it CT scans from patients who...

Bixonimania, a made-up eye condition created to prove that large language models (LLMs) could be easily deceived, ended up tricking human researchers as well. Bixonimania was created in 2024 by a team led by Almira Osmanovic Thunström, a medical researcher at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. They wanted to see whether large language models like ChatGPT or Gemini could see through what was considered obvious misinformation, or whether they would swallow this medical misinformation and present it as valid information. Within weeks of Thunström’s team uploading two fake studies about bixonimania to a preprint server, the made-up condition was already...

The Columbia-class submarine program encountered early setbacks. The United States Navy’s effort to build its newest class of nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines is now expected to reach a key milestone in 2028, according to General Dynamics.

Pervy ex-congressman Eric Swalwell sent nude photos and videos of himself masturbating through Snapchat — all while he was married — as lurid details of his alleged creepy conduct continue to spill out. Swalwell, who was once crowned the “Snapchat King of Congress,” regularly slid into women’s DMs and shared unsolicited nudes with several — exchanges that initially seemed innocent but quickly veered into explicit territory. Swalwell’s attempted sexual conquests even included a 19-year-old waitress in Los Angeles who was “stunned” to receive a LinkedIn message from the powerful Democratic lawmakers, according to CNN. Another young congressional staffer said Swalwell...
