Cyberattacks are no longer manual, linear operations. With AI now embedded into offensive strategies, attackers are developing polymorphic malware, automating reconnaissance, and bypassing defenses faster than many security teams can respond. This is not a future scenario, it’s happening now. At the same time, most security defenses are still reactive. They rely on identifying known […]
Depending on the account you choose, you could net thousands of dollars in interest.
You live in an age of perpetual pings and clicks, yet your in-person circle is shrinking fast. According to the United States Surgeon General’s 2023 advisory, 15- to 24-year-olds now spend almost 70% less face-to-face time with friends than in 2003. This collapse is serious enough to be classified as a public health emergency. This
In the case of Manus, the competition is moving fast. Two of the most buzzy follow‑ups, Genspark and Flowith, for example, are already boasting benchmark scores that match or edge past Manus’s. Genspark, led by former Baidu executives Eric Jing and Kay Zhu, links many small “super agents” through what it calls multi‑component prompting. The agent can
It seems like hardly a day goes by anymore without a new version of Google’s Gemini AI landing, and sure enough, Google is rolling out a major update to its most powerful 2.5 Pro model. This release is aimed at fixing some problems that cropped up in an earlier Gemini Pro update, and the word
It’s a whole lot of commotion for a GPU that is otherwise about as ho-hum as it is possible to be. It’s a noticeable but unexciting upgrade over its predecessor, and it performs a lot like a more-efficient RTX 3070 for $200 less (theoretically) than that card’s original MSRP. But it’s getting harder to justify
Bonfire Social, a new framework for building communities on the open social web, launched on Thursday during the FediForum online conference. While Bonfire Social is a federated app, meaning it’s powered by the same underlying protocol as Mastodon (ActivityPub), it’s designed to be more modular and more customizable. That means communities on Bonfire have more
Why this breakthrough matters Dynamical-generative downscaling represents a significant step towards obtaining comprehensive future regional climate projections at actionable scales below 10 km. It makes downscaling large ensembles of Earth system models computationally feasible — our study estimates computational cost savings of 85% for the 8-model ensemble tested, a figure that would increase for larger
In a statement, Sandow Lakes Energy denied that the power plant will be loud. “The sound level at the nearest property line will be similar to a quiet library,” the statement said. Sandow Lakes Energy said the plant will support the local tax base and provide hundreds of temporary construction jobs and dozens of permanent
Conversational AI tools such as ChatGPT and Google Gemini are now being used to create deepfakes that do not swap faces, but in more subtle ways can rewrite the whole story inside an image. By changing gestures, props and backgrounds, these edits fool both AI detectors and humans, raising the stakes for spotting what is
