For all their superhuman power, today’s AI models suffer from a surprisingly human flaw: They forget. Give an AI assistant a sprawling conversation, a multi-step reasoning task or a project spanning days, and it will eventually lose the thread. Engineers refer to this phenomenon as “context rot,” and it has quietly become one of the most significant obstacles to building AI agents that can function reliably in the real world.A research team from China and Hong Kong believes it has created a solution to context rot. Their new paper introduces general agentic memory (GAM), a system built to preserve long-horizon…

Austin, TX, USA, December 4th, 2025, CyberNewsWire Phishing has surged 400% year-over-year, highlighting need for real-time visibility into identity exposures. SpyCloud, the leader in identity threat protection, today released new data showing a sharp rise in phishing attacks that disproportionately target corporate users. The company tracked a 400% year-over-year increase in successfully phished identities, with nearly 40% of the 28+ million recaptured phished records containing a business email address – compared to just 11.5% in recaptured malware data. The result is a warning to enterprises that their workforce is three times more likely to be targeted with phishing attacks than…

Pluribus’ debut season is barrelling towards its conclusion. Indeed, with the sci-fi mystery show’s sixth episode out now on Apple TV, we’re just three chapters away from this season’s finale.Right now though, there are more important things to discuss – namely, the new things Carol (and, by proxy, we) learn about The Others in episode 6, titled ‘HDP’. There’s also the small matter of – whisper it quietly – the Apple TV Original’s protagonist finally landing an ally who also seems to want the world to go back to the way it was.Full spoilers immediately follow for ‘HDP’, so proceed…

OpenAI researchers have introduced a novel method that acts as a "truth serum" for large language models (LLMs), compelling them to self-report their own misbehavior, hallucinations and policy violations. This technique, "confessions," addresses a growing concern in enterprise AI: Models can be dishonest, overstating their confidence or covering up the shortcuts they take to arrive at an answer. For real-world applications, this technique evolves the creation of more transparent and steerable AI systems.What are confessions?Many forms of AI deception result from the complexities of the reinforcement learning (RL) phase of model training. In RL, models are given rewards for producing outputs…

Over the course of several hours, technicians meticulously connected the inner and outer segments of NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. NASA/Jolearra Tshiteya Two technicians look up at NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope after its inner and outer segments were connected at the agency’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland on Nov. 25, 2025. This marked the end of Roman’s construction. After final testing, the telescope will move to the launch site at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida for launch preparations in summer 2026. Roman  — named after Dr. Nancy Grace Roman, NASA’s first chief astronomer — is…

CZUR ET24 Pro: 30-second reviewMost people think of scanners as that quaint mechanism that looks like an old photocopier on the printer, or an independent flatbed ideal for capturing receipts.But in commercial terms, there are two pathways to bulk image capture: industrial document scanners that can handle hundreds of documents in short order, or devices like the CZUR ET24 Pro focused on book scanning.Scanning books is a critical task…

Third-party Android launchers and custom ROMs simply aren’t as common as they used to be for a handful of reasons. The default launchers on flagship Android phones have drastically improved, and indie custom launchers have a tough time usurping Google’s Pixel Launcher or Samsung’s One UI. Plus, the third-party launcher scene is simply dying out. New development is limited, and longtime favorite Nova Launcher recently shut down, thinning the market. Yes, there are alternatives to Nova Launcher, and I’ve tried over 10 of the best ones. While options like Niagara Launcher, Lawnchair, and Microsoft Launcher are solid, they seem too…

Apple and the US MLS soccer organisation have partnered to include iPhone 17 Pro in the broadcast of the Inter Miami vs Vancouver Whitecaps final. Four iPhone 17 Pro units will join the more than 30 cameras in broadcasting and streaming live from behind the goal and in the crowd to capture fans and their reactions. Whenever you see the feed from one of the phones, there’ll be a “Shot on iPhone” tag on the screen. MLS has reportedly been testing iPhones in its workflow for months leading up to the final. Its engineers have reportedly validated the iPhone’s latency,…

The debate over whether artificial intelligence belongs in the corporate boardroom appears to be over — at least for the people responsible for generating revenue.Seven in ten enterprise revenue leaders now trust AI to regularly inform their business decisions, according to a sweeping new study released Thursday by Gong, the revenue intelligence company. The finding marks a dramatic shift from just two years ago, when most organizations treated AI as an experimental technology relegated to pilot programs and individual productivity hacks.The research, based on an analysis of 7.1 million sales opportunities across more than 3,600 companies and a survey of…
