Here comes another disappointment for ChatGPT users. As first reported by Sources’ Alex Heath, OpenAI is yet again delaying its “adult mode” for ChatGPT. A company spokesperson told Heath that “we’re pushing out the launch of adult mode so we can focus on work that is a higher priority for more users right now.”More specifically, OpenAI’s spokesperson said that things like “gains in intelligence, personality improvements, personalization, and making the experience more proactive” were being prioritized instead. However, the company still wants to release an adult mode, but it would “take more time,” according to the company spokesperson.The reveal of…
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. announced new networking, compute hardware, cloud operations software and financing updates for service providers at this past week’s MWC26 in Barcelona. The updates center on meeting the new demands being created by artificial intelligence reshaping every aspect of network design — from centralized data centers to distributed edge environments. AI adoption is driving more traffic into AI data centers, accelerating investment by hyperscalers and neocloud providers. In those environments, ultra-low latency and high reliability are no longer optional. They are basic requirements for delivering AI as a service. Traditional network traffic is still growing but it’s quickly being…
Introduction In 2026 AI is no longer a lab novelty; companies deploy models to automate customer service, document analysis and coding. Yet connecting models to tools and data remains messy. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) changes that by introducing a universal interface between language models and external systems, solving the messy NxM integration problem. MCP is open, vendor‑neutral and backed by growing community adoption. Rising cloud costs, outages and privacy laws further drive interest in flexible MCP deployments. This article provides an infrastructure‑oriented overview of MCP: its architecture, deployment options, operational patterns, cost and security considerations, troubleshooting and emerging trends.…

AI is accelerating innovation across industries. But the same acceleration is beginning to worry national security experts. A new warning from the UK government is forcing a difficult question into the open. What happens when powerful AI systems start lowering the barrier to building biological weapons? According to a government assessment, advanced AI tools could enable individuals with limited scientific training to design biological weapons within the next two years. The concern is not that AI will create pathogens on its own. The concern is that it could dramatically reduce the expertise required to do it. Large language models are…
I never thought listening to vivid descriptions of crime, murder, and World War II would be the solution to my chronic insomnia. But, here we are.Nowadays, falling asleep can feel like an unending nightly battle with our phones and always-on culture. Which is why the rise of podcasts designed to help you fall asleep is so unexpected, turning a big source of our insomnia (cellphones) into the tool we need to doze off.The most famous one, Sleep With Me, blew up over the last few years, topping Apple’s podcast charts week after week. It’s success led to a whole cottage…
Ravie LakshmananMar 07, 2026DevSecOps / Artificial Intelligence OpenAI on Friday began rolling out Codex Security, an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered security agent that’s designed to find, validate, and propose fixes for vulnerabilities. The feature is available in a research preview to ChatGPT Pro, Enterprise, Business, and Edu customers via the Codex web with free usage for the next month. “It builds deep context about your project to identify complex vulnerabilities that other agentic tools miss, surfacing higher-confidence findings with fixes that meaningfully improve the security of your system while sparing you from the noise of insignificant bugs,” the company said. Codex…
New research involving scientists from Anthropic and ETH Zurich suggests that modern artificial intelligence systems could identify the real-world identities behind supposedly anonymous internet accounts. The study, published as a preprint on arXiv, shows that large language models (LLMs) may be capable of analyzing online activity and linking pseudonymous profiles to real individuals at scale. The research, titled Large-scale online deanonymization with LLMs, explores how AI agents can automate the process of deanonymization – the act of connecting anonymous or pseudonymous online accounts to real identities. Traditionally, this process required significant manual investigation by analysts who searched through posts, writing…
Computer-Aided Design (CAD) is the go-to method for designing most of today’s physical products. Engineers use CAD to turn 2D sketches into 3D models that they can then test and refine before sending a final version to a production line. But the software is notoriously complicated to learn, with thousands of commands to choose from. To be truly proficient in the software takes a huge amount of time and practice.MIT engineers are looking to ease CAD’s learning curve with an AI model that uses CAD software much like a human would. Given a 2D sketch of an object, the model…
Fewer couples are getting married, and it has impacted The Chinese Wedding Shop’s sales Marriage has long been seen as an important union between two families across cultures. But in Singapore, fewer couples are choosing to tie the knot. Recently released figures show that marriages in Singapore fell by about 6.2%, from 26,328 in 2024 to 24,687 in 2025. This decline follows a broader drop after the country hit a record peak of 29,389 marriages in 2022. After a 30% increase from 2020 to 2022, there has been an almost 16% drop in the total number of marriages in Singapore…
