Instagram head Adam Mosseri addressed the issue in a recent Instagram Story, saying the platform is “trying to fight that every way we can.” Two accounts down, but the rulebook is missing So far, the clearest sign of enforcement is two deactivated accounts, both run by pickup artists who used the…

In pursuit of autonomous nuclear plant operationsIt turns out the research for the master’s was just the tip of the iceberg. There was still work left to be done.For the future viability of nuclear power, small plants, located in rural areas, are a distinct possibility. Thus far, operations conducted in legacy plants have involved intensive manual operations, which are viable because these facilities operate at 100 percent capacity and the power delivered can justify the costs of maintaining a large staff. But microreactors distributed at scale and in remote areas can’t afford a large bench of human talent. It’s where…

Enterprise AI ambition is far outpacing the readiness of the enterprise AI stack, and the growing rift between proof-of-concept deployments and production-scale agent operations is where most organizations are grounded. Closing that rift is the fundamental basis of the partnership between Nutanix and AMD, according to Suresh Andani (pictured, right), chief corporate vice president of compute and enterprise AI at Advanced Micro Devices Inc. The two companies, linked by AMD’s $250 million investment in Nutanix, are building a joint enterprise AI stack that spans AMD’s CPU and GPU silicon, Nutanix’s software control plane and a shared go-to-market model designed to help…

A Russian state-supported espionage group spent months reading Western mailboxes through a then-unknown flaw in Zimbra’s webmail client. The payload goes after the last 90 days of email, the organization’s entire email directory, the password saved in the browser and the codes kept for two-factor recovery. Opening the message was enough to start it. The NSA, CISA and partner agencies published a joint advisory on the campaign Thursday, alongside research from Palo Alto Networks’ Unit 42 and Proofpoint. The advisory calls the technique “a view-based exploit that only requires a user to view a malicious email” in a vulnerable client.…

Something your creative team spent weeks planning and executing. Where the budget ran into 6 figures. And 83% of your consumers simply forget you- within 24 hours. Marketers could be led…

“We don’t want people to be surreptitiously taking videos of other people.” Meta has started banning Instagram users that use the company’s glasses to secretly record people to make content, according to a report by Business Insider. Meta owns Instagram, so this feels like an admission of something everybody already knows: a whole lot of creeps have begun using Meta Glasses to record people without their consent. “If you’re posting content that is taking advantage of people and harassing them, like a lot of these pickup line kinds of videos that we’ve heard of and seen, then we’re going to…
