Even before the latest batch of alarming AI news, a lot of Americans were souring on AI. That may be for big, existential reasons — concerns about widening inequality, mass job loss, and the still-unclear environmental impact of data centers — or for very specific, personal, everyday ones, like being forced to use a worse version of Google search.None of this is to say that AI cannot be a useful tool for some people some of the time. It’s just that the untested technology was thrust upon millions of people who didn’t necessarily ask for it and really seem to…
European lawmakers are calling for an investigation into Meta after the mass suspension of accounts posting about anti-government protests in Albania, in what observers believe is a coordinated brigading attack.“What happened in Albania is tantamount to censorship,” said MEP Alexandra Geese in a statement. She is one of more than 30 Members of the European Parliament who signed a letter asking the European Commission to investigate whether Meta’s actions complied with the EU’s Digital Services Act.“Mark Zuckerberg’s understanding of ‘freedom of speech’ only seems to cover opinions that align with the political agenda of the Trump administration. This is precisely…
The company expects to start offering rides to the public in the country in 2028. Waymo Waymo has announced that it’s coming to Singapore, thereby expanding its presence in Asia and in regions outside of the US as a whole. Over the coming months, its first Jaguar I-PACE vehicles will be arriving on the island nation as the company prepares for future operations. Throughout 2027, Waymo’s specialists will manually drive its vehicles on Singapore’s streets to map them, and the company will make changes to its system to account for the country’s road geometry and weather patterns.…
While tech titans at Salesforce Inc.’s Dreamforce event in San Francisco this week engaged in a spirited debate over whether the pace of deployment for artificial intelligence should be slowed, a group of high-powered tech experts were meeting at the same time about an hour’s drive south to describe how they were building AI’s infrastructure as fast as possible. At the AI Infra Summit in Santa Clara, technologists from companies such as Amazon Web Services, Oracle, Broadcom, Qualcomm and d-Matrix, outlined how they were hard at work to optimize infrastructure for the ever-increasing demands of AI. The challenges surrounding the…
In the midst of RAMageddon price hikes and AI doomsday claims, I bring soothing news: A tiny new feline species has been discovered, the first in over 100 years, and it’s amazingly adorable. According to a study published in the Current Biology Journal on Thursday, the spry little feline, who looks ready for a drink out of a nice, heated cat water fountain, is called Leopardus tilcayo and hails from the cloud forests of the Bolivian Yungas in South America. You may know Leopardus from other American cat species, like the ocelot and colocolo. The discovery was made from a…
A critical vulnerability in Check Point’s Security Management and Log Servers could allow an attacker without login credentials to run code as root on those servers over the network. The Security Management Server is the system that controls firewall policy and administrator access. Check Point has released a fix through its LivePatch update channel and says it has no indication that the flaw has been exploited.Check Point told The Hacker News that the vulnerable path runs only through the Trusted Clients setting, which controls which hosts may connect to the management server through SmartConsole. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-91843 and…
Trust in AI has declined drastically, and regulations are tightening. But businesses continue to treat AI governance as a mere document. To keep up, they must pivot. Leadership has a baseline understanding that it needs to govern AI. Because a majority of time, someone writes a policy. The policy gets approved, uploaded to a shared drive, and circulated via a company-wide email. Someone ticks a box somewhere in a compliance tracker. It’s the ‘after’ that truly matters. The AI systems continue to be built and deployed precisely the way they were before the policy existed. This is not what is…
China does not appear ready to slow the development of increasingly powerful AI. Instead, it is building rules intended to keep autonomous systems under tighter control while development continues. That approach is becoming clearer as Beijing develops safety standards for AI agents and emphasizes controllability in emerging systems. It contrasts with a growing U.S. debate over whether frontier-model capabilities should advance more slowly so safeguards have time to catch up. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei recently pushed that debate further by calling for slower improvements to frontier AI capabilities. But the disagreement is increasingly about more than speed: it is about…
Hello, Cyber Builders 🖖Last year, AI in cybersecurity advanced quickly. GPT-5 was the first model to show practical cybersecurity skills, analyzing and acting on real use cases. Claude 4.5 followed soon after.GPT-5 Is Around the Corner. Stop Treating AI Like a Threat—Hire It.Claude 4.5 and the Maturity Moment for Cybersecurity AIWith GPT-6 now released, it is time to review what has changed since then. I’ve built a timeline from 2023 to 2026 of all model releases with their cybersecurity capabilities.What matters most? I reviewed all the releases and their statements on cybersecurity. The timeline with details and links is at…
35-year-old Soup Restaurant has swung from highs and, most recently, losses For more than 30 years, Soup Restaurant has been a familiar name in Singapore’s dining scene. Many Singaporeans would recognise it for its double-boiled soups, home-style Cantonese dishes and, perhaps most famously, its Samsui Ginger Chicken. The business began in 1991 with a single Chinatown shophouse, six staff and six dining tables. Today, the company behind it, Soup Holdings Limited, is listed on the Singapore Exchange and runs 15 outlets across Singapore and Malaysia, alongside two franchised outlets in Indonesia, as well as central-kitchen operations, sauce distribution and a…
