Be a good AI ancestor: Cybersecurity already gave us the playbook AI has brought us to a familiar inflection point in the story of privacy, cybersecurity, and online safety.

The two giants have completely different answers. On an Android phone, try asking ChatGPT to read what is displayed on the screen, to send an email on your behalf, or to trigger when you say its name. None of this works. Gemini, Google's in-house assistant, can do that. The difference bet

There aren’t many people in the world who can justifiably call Mark Zuckerberg a dumb-ass, but Elon Musk is probably one of them. Early on Tuesday morning, in the latest salvo of a tussle between the two tech billionaires over the dangers of advanced artificial intelligence, Musk said that Zuckerberg’s “understanding of the subject is limited.” I won’t rehash the entire argument here, but basically Elon Musk has been warning society for the last few years
