AI is capable of impressive things – or, at least, it’s capable of accomplishing many tasks that were previously unthinkable before ChatGPT burst onto the scene in 2022. That said, many question whether large language models (LLMs) represent a coherent path toward a meaningful improvement in the technology so that it rivals human intelligence. “There’s no way to get there without a breakthrough. It motivates us to go invest more in fusion.” —Sam Altman, January 2024 Lacking in energyThe OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was speaking on the topic of energy production at a Bloomberg event at the World Economic Forum’s…

A recently patched Zimbra Collaboration vulnerability is being exploited in the wild, according to Poland’s CERT Polska. The security hole is tracked as CVE-2026-73570 and it was patched by the developers of the enterprise email server and collaborative software suite with the release of version 10.1.20, announced on July 20. The high-severity flaw exists when the optional ‘zimbra-snmp’ package is installed and SNMP notifications are enabled.  An attacker can exploit the vulnerability without authentication to execute arbitrary OS commands as the Zimbra user. The Polish CERT announced seeing attacks this week but did not share any details about the active…

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech Did the bright-eyed enlistees of the Space Force join up thinking they’d one day be fighting alien invaders like they’re, we dunno, Master Chief? Their jobs, in reality: drawing their weapons on imagined human invaders. As the Associated Press reports, security at the Vandenberg Space Force base in California held five news reporters and two military officers at gunpoint because they thought they were intruders trying to crash the gates. The snafu took place on Monday ahead of a groundbreaking ceremony for a…

Today the prolific leaker who goes by Digital Chat Station on Weibo has shared some new information about Honor’s upcoming device ranges. The Magic9 Pro, expected to be unveiled next month, will have two 200MP cameras with some mystery Arri capabilities. The Honor Win2 series will come with a flat screen with “2K” resolution and a 10,000 mAh battery. The built-in cooling fan that debuted on the original Win is staying. The Honor Power3 will come with a 7-inch screen and the industry’s largest battery, apparently, so this is probably that mystery device that’s been in testing with a 12,000…

Meta’s experimental vibe-coding gaming app, Pocket, is now rolling out to everyone in the U.S. The app, which arrived quietly last month in the test market of Brazil, allows people to generate small, interactive games using AI prompts, which are published to a scrollable feed. Based on Meta’s acqui-hire of the team at the vibe-coded gaming platform Gizmo earlier this year, these games — or “gizmos” as they’re called — respond to touch and the tilt of your phone, play sound effects, and can include clips of your favorite songs. They can also use photos from your camera roll or access your camera. The resulting…

Atlassian and Splunk this week announced patches for over 250 vulnerabilities across their products, including dozens of critical- and high-severity flaws. On Tuesday, Atlassian published a Security Bulletin detailing 10 critical- and 162 high-severity issues in third-party dependencies, patched with fresh security updates for Bamboo, Bitbucket, Confluence, Crowd, Fisheye/Crucible, and Jira. Because the vulnerable libraries are used across multiple products, many of the patched security defects affect multiple products. Overall, the fixes appear to address approximately 109 unique CVEs. Successful exploitation of the bugs could allow attackers to mount remote code execution (RCE), denial-of-service (DoS), information theft, man-in-the-middle (MitM), authentication…

Shield AI states that three X-BATs (with their Launch and Recovery Vehicles / LRVs) fit in the deck space of one legacy fighter or helicopter. Arleigh Burke-class destroyers have a flight deck + dual hangars designed for up to two MH-60R Seahawk helicopters. They could each hold six X-BATS in the space used for two helicopters. They would each have a supersonic drone airwing. X-BAT folded/storage dimensions are given as roughly 40 ft × 14 ft × 6 ft. Screenshot An MH-60 folds to roughly similar length (~41 ft) but wider rotor/overall footprint when operating. The 3:1 claim implies the…

Joe Maring / Android AuthorityHowever, there’s only so much you can judge using four different phones in just two hours. I received my Pixel 11 Pro review unit shortly after that initial hands-on session, and it’s been my daily Android phone ever since. I’ve been using the Pixel 11 Pro basically nonstop for the past seven days, and I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t enjoyed my time with it. In fact, I’d wager to say I probably love it.But simultaneously, the reasons why I like the Pixel 11 Pro so much also reinforce my biggest fear about the…
