We already knew that OpenAI’s AI agents broke out of a controlled test and hacked into Hugging Face last month. Now, we know it wasn’t a solo act. At the Black Hat cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas, as reported by Politico, OpenAI researchers Michael Dalton and Eric Wallace revealed that some of the company’s most advanced models secretly started sharing hacking tips, weeks before the breach happened. Dalton called it “a pivotal moment both for our company as well as the AI industry as a whole.” How did the models even talk to each other? According to Wallace, the trouble…

Meta’s ad platform did something it has promised, repeatedly, never to allow again. According to a new investigation from Wired, Meta ran dozens of paid ads over the past nine months containing explicit AI-generated child sexual abuse imagery, some of which stayed live even after the company was directly confronted about them. If this feels like a story you’ve read before, that’s because you probably have. Just weeks before this latest report, a separate BBC investigation found Instagram running paid ads promoting child sexual abuse material in India, directing users to Telegram channels selling illegal content. The AI-generated CSAM ads…

This is not the first time I’ve watched European or Chinese car shoppers, for that matter, get a chance to buy genuinely affordable EVs. Meanwhile, American buyers keep hearing and talking about higher starting prices and fewer features on the entry-level trim.  Geely’s new compact electric hatchback costs 19,490 EUR in Belgium, or roughly $22,490, and is yet another example of the same. While the entry price is only available for a limited time, I’m talking about the overall package the automaker is offering.  So what exactly did Geely launch? This Geely E2 is sold in China as the Geely…

Gemini Notebook has become one of the apps I use more than almost anything else. Whether I’m researching for a feature, studying for hours, or trying to make sense of a stack of PDFs, it’s almost always open somewhere on my phone. Over the past years, I’ve used it on just about every kind of device imaginable, but one thing kept bothering me. It never really felt like a notebook. Don’t get me wrong — it worked perfectly well on a regular phone. All the features were there, and I never felt like I was missing anything. But every research…

During its first earnings call as a public company, SpaceX confirmed a plan years in the making. President Gwynne Shotwell told investors the company intends to build a full mobile network capable of pulling customers away from AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile (via Reuters). Elon Musk backed her up, framing the EchoStar spectrum deal as the foundation for something much bigger than Starlink’s current satellite internet business (via TheVerge). How does SpaceX plan to challenge the biggest carriers? SpaceX already runs Starlink Mobile, which partners with carriers to provide messaging and limited data in areas where traditional cell coverage falls short.…

Counterfeit goods are becoming increasingly sophisticated, forcing brands to rely on expensive authentication systems that often require specialized scanners or proprietary hardware. Researchers now believe a smartphone could do much of that work instead. A team has developed a new printing system that creates responsive anti-counterfeit labels that are more durable, easier to mass-produce, and can be verified using nothing more than a phone. The research was published in the International Journal of Materials and Product Technology. At first glance, the technology looks like another incremental improvement in product security. In reality, it addresses one of the biggest limitations of…

Finding a fast charger for your electric vehicle could soon get a little easier. EVgo announced it will start installing hundreds of Tesla V4 Superchargers across major US cities, built under a license through Tesla’s Supercharger for Business program. This makes EVgo one of the first US networks to build Tesla‘s own charger design onto its stations, following a broader expansion that began with a $1.25 billion federal loan to add 7,500 new charging stalls nationwide. What does this partnership bring to EV drivers? EVgo will own these chargers and manage site host engagement, utility hookups and pricing, while Tesla…
