However you feel about AI writing, it has a few giveaways. According to the writer Imogen West-Knights, “there’s things like negative parallelisms…or excessive use of metaphor and similes, especially ones that don’t quite make sense or that come very rapidly, one after another. Every noun having an adjective attached, certain kinds of repetitive syntactical blocks that appear.”So naturally, when an author uses AI to write their book, the publishing industry can easily spot it, right? As it turns out, not necessarily. AI models are built using human writing, the good and the bad, which is why it can be hard…

The Mandalorian and Grogu was quite literally an afterthought, and it shows. It was pitched after the 2023 Hollywood writer’s strike delayed production of The Mandalorian’s fourth season, even though director and writer Jon Favreau had already completed the scripts for that season. So Favreau had to go back to the drawing board to create a whole new adventure for his two characters, one that didn’t lean too much on prior knowledge of the TV series, and that could tell a self-contained story in a few hours. The result is a space adventure that feels surprisingly low-stakes for a Star…

United Kingdom-based Blockchain.com Group Holdings Inc., a cryptocurrency exchange and wallet service, announced Thursday that it has filed confidentially for an initial public offering in the United States.  The details of the IPO remain undisclosed, with the number of shares or expected price range undetermined as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission reviews the application.  Founded in 2011, Blockchain.com began as a blockchain explorer, a type of analysis tool that allows visitors to view transactions on the global distributed ledger ecosystem and track them from their origin to their current state. As the company evolved, it became a cryptocurrency wallet and exchange, allowing users…

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a new automated campaign called Megalodon that has pushed 5,718 malicious commits to 5,561 GitHub repositories within a six-hour window. “Using throwaway accounts and forged author identities (build-bot, auto-ci, ci-bot, pipeline-bot), the attacker injected GitHub Actions workflows containing base64-encoded bash payloads that exfiltrate CI secrets, cloud credentials, SSH keys, OIDC tokens, and source code secrets to a C2 server at 216.126.225[.]129:8443,” SafeDep said in a report. The complete list of data harvested by the malware is below – CI environment variables, /proc/*/environ, and PID 1 environment Amazon Web Services (AWS) credentials Google Cloud access…

Autonomous drones are moving closer to operating effectively in some of the world’s most dangerous and unpredictable environments. Researchers from MIT and the University of Pennsylvania introduced MIGHTY, a new open-source trajectory-planning system that enables unmanned aerial vehicles to avoid obstacles in milliseconds while maintaining smooth, efficient flight paths. The development represents another important step toward intelligent drone systems capable of supporting disaster response, industrial inspection, and urban delivery operations with minimal human intervention. Trajectory planning has long been one of the biggest challenges in autonomous robotics. UAVs operating in collapsed buildings, industrial facilities, or crowded urban areas must constantly…

Stockholm-based Truecaller started in 2009 as an app for caller ID and spam blocking. Now, it is moving into travel data. The company has launched Travel eSIM across 29 markets, giving users a way to buy mobile data for international trips through Truecaller. The product may be useful for travellers, but for a company with Truecaller’s privacy history, moving into mobile data is bound to raise questions. What do you get with Truecaller’s Travel eSIM? Travel eSIM is a fully digital mobile data service. Users can buy and activate it through the Truecaller iPhone app or the web channel. The…

Rev your engines, the Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix is happening this weekend. For the first time ever, Netflix will livestream the event for US viewers. Get ready for some epic race-car action. Apple TV is the streamer that holds the rights to Formula 1 racing, and thanks to a unique deal between the two companies in February, a select number of F1 races will be available to watch on Netflix. The move makes sense, given the success of Netflix’s documentary series Formula 1: Drive to Survive; the eighth season is also available to stream on Apple TV.To watch the rest of…

Major wireless carriers: A necessary evil if you travel a lot, have a family, or are just interested in coverage that’s reliably consistent and widespread. AT&T is the third-largest provider in the US (first for 5G), with the largest coverage map. I’ve had various AT&T plans for more than a decade, first for just myself and now for my whole family, even though I only get one cell bar at my house and have to stand in one 5-square-foot patch of yard to make a phone call. And have lost entire days of my life to fighting unexpected random charges…
