November 11th is "Caregiver's Day." In the face of an aging population, the caregiving industry is confronting a serious shortage of personnel. The younger workforce that is supposed to take on caregiving services is decreasing, and dissatisfaction with the workload and wage levels is accelerating turnover. In an effort to address these issues, new technologies that support the caregiving frontline are being developed and introduced. Enactic, a start-up co

Allow Grok to interest you in some 15th century anti-witchcraft reading. A new study argues that certain frontier chatbots are much more likely to inappropriately validate users’ delusional ideas — a result that the study’s authors say represents a “preventable” technological failure that could be curbed by design choices. “D

Getty / Futurism The advent of generative AI continues to undermine the very concept of copyright, from entire books shamelessly ripping off authors to tasteless AI slop depicting beloved characters going viral on social media. The sin is foundational: all today’s popular AI tools were built by pillaging copyrighted material without permission. Even software isn’t safe. As 404 Media reports, a new tool dubbed Malus.sh — pronounced “malice,” to give a subtl

Such frames were placed in living rooms or set aside separate rooms, often on the upper floor, with large windows to let in daylight. There were also workshops in attached buildings or separate structures in the yard, but in general, housing was adapted to this kind of production: the work area occupied part of the house. The sizes of the machines varied and, by today's standards, were enormous, ranging from one to two meters in each dimension.A costly kni

The chorus of alarm around a potential AI-triggered doomsday is getting louder. On Monday, two AI researchers from frontier labs warned that the technology could, in the not-so-distant future, conceivably wipe out all of humanity. The statements come less than a week after former OpenAI and Anthropic staffer Jacob Coxon announced that he’d resigned from his role at the latter company because of what he described as the industry’s recklessness toward humani

On September 12, 2026, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published an essay urging frontier AI companies, including his own, to slow down development for fear of destroying human life as we know it in ways that we can’t even conceive of. On September 14, 2026, Anthropic posted a job listing looking for a policy design manager to handle conventional weapons, one of the ways we can very clearly conceive of how it destroys human life.

Microsoft has let go more than 15,000 workers since May, and Amazon announced last week it was cutting 14,000 roles. Artificial intelligence has taken some of the blame for the layoffs, but not in an obvious way. The companies aren't in financial distress—far from it. Rather, there's a desire now among

Since 1980, these powerful tropical storms have done more than US$1.5 trillion in damage and killed more than 7,000 people. The No. 1 cause of the damages and deaths from hurricanes is storm surge. Storm surge is the rise in the ocean's water level, caused by a combination of powerful winds pushing wa

The problem with manual DASTTraditionally, DAST scans were performed late in the development cycle, often by a separate security team. This approach is no longer sustainable for fast-growing tech companies. Manual DAST introduces several significant challenges:Slow feedback loops: When scans are run manually, developers may not receive feedback on vulnerabilities for days or even weeks. By then, the code has moved on, making fixes more complex and costly t

The enterprise communication blind spotFor years, corporate communications were treated as either static records – emails stored in archives – or ephemeral exchanges that disappeared after use. The rise of AI has changed that. Tools like Microsoft’s Copilot and Zoom’s AI Companion now interpret tone, context, and intent in real-time, turning chat history into searchable knowledge. But for many companies, that same intelligence is emerging in silos, without

AI slop is as certain as government levies these days, infecting every corner of the internet and increasingly intruding on real life. It’s not going away, and surely any attempts to ban the stuff will be futile. So what should we do about it? Well, why not institute a “slop tax?” proposes technologist Mike Pepi in an essay for The Guardian. Such a tax would “restore balance to what has her
