First Line Films Hollywood actors have been ringing the alarm bells over an industry that’s seemingly hellbent on replacing them with AI. And the general public appears to be on their side. Last year, a talent studio drew enormous and near-universal backlash after announcing the creation of an AI-generated “actress.” Even recently deceased Hollywood movie stars are fair game. During an ongoing industry trade show in Las Vegas, filmmakers behind an upcoming

Everything about Artificial Intelligence view more An Arizona appeals court overturned the 10.5-year prison sentence of a man convicted of killing another driver. The decision does not overturn the conviction: it only schedules a new hearing to determine the sentence, after an AI-generated video simulating the victim forgiving the defendant was shown in court.Gabriel Paul Horcasitas, 55, remains convicted of the death of Christopher Pelkey, 37, during a tr

Donald Trump is nothing if not a keen investor. As recent tax filings have shown, the US president has made a number of canny trades over the past few months for tech stocks like Nvidia, Apple, and Dell, flaunting any semblance of ethical financial behavior. New reporting from the Japanese newspaper the Yomiuri Shimbun revealed that Trump made another surprising investment alongside his tech stocks: a purchase of $1 to $5 million shares in a conveyor belt

Residents are packing themselves into local county meetings in incredible numbers and calling on their representatives to oppose gargantuan data center projects, developments that could cause electricity prices to spike, drain water supplies, and generate copious amounts of noise. Farmers are being hailed as heroes for rejecting millions o

2. Hash Deconstruction: Topological CrystallizationAnother fundamental mistake by the skeptics is trying to evaluate the ASIC’s hash as a scalar number. Supposedly, because of the avalanche effect of cryptography, it produces pseudorandom “white noise,” from which nothing can be built.But in ZAP, the hash is not a number. It is a vector instruction for constructing a phase landscape (we call this Bitstring-to-Geometry Mapping). We break down the hash H to

As Ars Technica reports, a security researcher last week uncovered spyware-like code in the company’s Claude Code AI model designed to collect data on Chinese users without detection. The researcher, known by the pseudonym “Thereallo,” found that the code was hi

Illustration by Tag Hartman-Simkins / Futurism. Source: Shutterstock Yet another domino appears to be falling as part of the Rube Goldberg machine that will eventually pop the AI investment bubble. Earlier this month, economic forecasters were sounding the alarm that overspending on AI was at a level far more severe than Black Tuesday, the day that jump-started the worst economic catastrophe in the history of the industrial economy. Now, investors seem to

Published July 29, 2026 at 1:13 PM Comment 1 𝕏 Print © Unsplash Two OpenAI AIs escaped their digital cage and autonomously hacked Hugging Face. One week after the incident, OpenAI revealed that the cyberattack did not stop at the open-source platform. It also emerged that the AI was trying to cheat on an exam when it escaped. That is why it targeted certain very specific targets… Two OpenAI models made headlines. After escaping their test environment, they

The Department of Justice is reportedly deepening its probe into Nvidia. Officials have moved on from merely questioning competitors to subpoenaing Nvidia and other tech companies for evidence that could substantiate allegations that Nvidia is abusing its “dominant position in AI computing,” Bloomberg reported. When news of the DOJ’s probe into the trillion-dollar company was first reported in June, Fast Company reported that scrutiny was intensifying mere

After months of backlash over alleged pollution concerns, xAI has finally secured an air permit covering some of the methane gas turbines powering its Colossus supercomputer data center in Memphis, Tennessee. On Wednesday, the Shelby County Health Department granted xAI an air permit that allows it to power 15 gas turbines while adhering to a range of restrictions designed to minimize emissions. Expiring on January 2, 2027, the permit requires xAI to insta

Privacy experts are demanding transparency after YouTube announced it would test using AI to estimate user ages in the US ahead of a wider rollout of the age check system. Throughout the first half of August, YouTube will begin interpreting “a variety of signals” to determine if certain users are under 18. No new user data will be collected, but those signals could include things like “the types of videos a user is searching for, the categories of videos t
