Meta launched Content Seal to identify AI-generated media. Early tests highlight its limits, but the initiative drives vital momentum for digital trust. Meta just launched Content Seal. This new invisible watermarking system flags images and videos generated by Meta’s Muse AI models. Alongside the tech, Meta also released a public web tool to upload a file to verify its origin. With these, the tech giant aims to boost transparency across Instagram and Facebook. Content Seal bakes a unique digital fingerprint directly into image pixels. Ideally, this invisible signature survives common edits like cropping, resizing, and compression. However, early real-world tests…

GeekWire File Photo Amazon confirmed Wednesday that it laid off an unspecified number of employees in its artificial general intelligence (AGI) organization, the division working on the company’s advanced AI models. The move, first reported by Reuters, comes as the company invests heavily in programs to help businesses implement AI effectively, including a $1 billion initiative to embed AWS engineers with customers building agentic AI systems. It’s part of a larger shift in the industry as tech giants and AI frontier labs look to make sure the enormous sums they’re spending on AI pay off in tools businesses actually use.…
In July 2026, Sysdig’s Threat Research Team disclosed JADEPUFFER[3], an intrusion it assesses to be the first fully documented case of ransomware run end to end by an autonomous AI agent, without a human operator issuing commands between initial access and extortion. None of the individual techniques were new. What was new is that a single agent reasoned through reconnaissance, credential theft, lateral movement, persistence, and destruction on its own, and recovered from a failed login to a working fix in 31 seconds.This is an analyst report, not a news recap.The question it answers is narrower and more useful to…
Samsung has steadily improved its foldables, but the eighth annual update includes a fresh face, the Z Fold8, which features the long-rumored wide form factor. It slots in between the flagship Z Fold8 Ultra, which is the successor to last year’s Fold7, and the smaller Flip8, which succeeds the Flip7. Is the newcomer an awkward middle child or the glue that holds Samsung’s folding family together? Samsung also has a couple of new smartwatches, the Galaxy Watch Ultra2 and Watch9.The new phones are available for preorder, but before you get yours, let’s dig into the details to help you decide…
Ravie LakshmananJul 22, 2026Vulnerability / Web Security A high-severity security flaw impacting open-source developer platform Windmill has come under active exploitation in the wild, per VulnCheck. The vulnerability in question is CVE-2026-29059 (CVSS score: 7.5), a case of unauthenticated path traversal impacting Windmill’s “get_log_file” endpoint (“/api/w/{workspace}/jobs_u/get_log_file/{filename}”). “The filename parameter is concatenated into a file path without sanitization, allowing an attacker to read arbitrary files on the server using ../ sequences,” according to an advisory published by Windmill in March 2026. “The primary sensitive value exposed by this vulnerability is the SUPERADMIN_SECRET environment variable, readable via /proc/1/environ. When set, this secret…
Even if some of them are half-hearted. Paramount Even when Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is good, you’re left with the nagging feeling that it could have been better. The show has always been uneven in quality and tone, which is distinct from its intentionally uneven storylines, dancing as it does between genres and tropes. Part of its mission statement has been to take big swings and push the edges of its format. But even if those swings weren’t the best, it was made so confidently you were still sold on the overall product. But when…
French lawmakers today voted in favor of banning social media use for children under the age of 15, making it the first nation in the European Union to introduce an age limit in line with legislation that is slowly taking hold globally. President Emmanuel Macron, currently serving his last term, welcomed the ban, calling it a “major step forward.” He added, “France is leading the way in Europe when it comes to protecting our children and teenagers. The Constitutional Council must now rule on it, and then it will be time to take action to make this measure a reality…
Apple doesn’t appear to be interested in making its increasingly expensive devices cheaper. Instead, it may make the price easier to ignore. The company plans to launch Apple Upgrade, a Klarna-backed leasing program for most iPhones, iPads, Macs and Apple Watches, on July 28 in the US, according to a Bloomberg report. The reported leasing program comes less than a month after Apple raised prices across much of its hardware lineup, blaming a global shortage of memory and storage chips. The MacBook Air jumped from $1,099 to $1,299, while the iPad Air went from $599 to $749. Apple isn’t exactly…
The Information reports that Google is building a new server chip, internally dubbed “Frozen v2,” meant to run its Gemini models far more efficiently. The idea, since picked up by everyone from Reuters to CNBC, is easy to say and hard to do- instead of running Gemini on general-purpose hardware, you etch parts of Gemini’s architecture directly into the silicon. The weights can still change. Engineers can load new numbers into the model. But the shape- the structure of the network itself- stays fixed; frozen. Hence the name. Now the number everyone is quoting: Google’s engineers reportedly project six to…
