Cruise line operator Carnival Corporation is notifying approximately 6 million individuals that their personal information was stolen in a recent data breach. Carnival said the incident was identified on April 14, after hackers gained access to an employee’s account via social engineering. Using the compromised account, the attackers accessed certain company systems and exfiltrated files containing personal information. “The company has been conducting a thorough and time-consuming analysis of the impacted files to determine what personal information they contained and to whom that information belongs,” an incident notice on Carnival’s website reads. According to the company, the potentially impacted information…

Last week, OpenAI shocked the mathematical community by revealing that one of its internal artificial intelligence models had found a counterexample to a famous conjecture made by legendary Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdős in 1946.The planar unit distance problem, or Erdős problem 90, has intrigued mathematicians for decades. The new result is no mere curiosity. Canadian mathematician Daniel Litt described it as “the first result produced autonomously by an AI that I find interesting in itself.”The breakthrough, produced with a general-purpose AI model rather than one specialized for mathematics, also highlights how AI is changing mathematical research itself. Days after OpenAI’s…

Apple’s foldable iPhone, which is rumored to be called the iPhone Ultra, is expected to launch alongside the iPhone 18 Pro lineup in September. Several leaks have already offered a glimpse at the foldable’s design. Now, a case manufacturer has seemingly revealed the device’s design through newly surfaced renders. The leaked case renders showcase the iPhone Ultra from multiple angles. The device is shown in a black finish and, based on the images, Apple’s foldable may not feature built-in MagSafe support, potentially requiring users to use a case for magnetic wireless charging. The images also suggest that the volume buttons…

Dark HDR scenes on my Samsung Frame TV started showing bands of color where smooth gradients should’ve been. Its a classic sign of a bandwidth issue, or so I assumed. I ordered a new certified cable, swapped it in two days later, and got the exact same banding. The fix turned out to be four menus deep on the TV — nothing to do with the cable at all. Once I knew the name, I started spotting the same bottleneck on my TCL Roku TV and Hisense Canvas. HDMI hides more capability than most setups ever touch, but most TVs…

Taylor Kerns / Android AuthorityTL;DR Google Photos could add a “New for you” section in the Create tab to showcase AI-generated collages, remixed images, animations, and cinematic photos. The feature doesn’t introduce new creations but gives existing AI-generated content a dedicated home outside the Memories carousel. The app might also introduce 11 new video filters, including Aura, Linen, Amber, Glow, Pacific, and Silver, to both the video editor and Highlight videos. Google Photos may be quietly giving the Create tab a bigger job to do, leaning more heavily on AI-generated edits and personalized content.According to details we’ve spotted in a…

Elon Musk’s X lets you write long-form content on the platform through its Articles feature, but only if you’re a paid subscriber or business. The decentralized social networking startup Bluesky has a different idea. On Thursday, Bluesky rolled out a new version of its app that integrates with Standard.site, a community project for building long-form content on the same underlying protocol that powers Bluesky. This means Bluesky users can now explore content beyond microblogs, or the short posts that Bluesky is known for. Instead, they can read articles, blog posts, and newsletters published across the wider network of AT Protocol-powered…
