AI-powered hacking has rapidly grown into an industrial-scale threat, with criminal groups and state-linked actors from China, North Korea, and Russia using commercial AI tools like Gemini and Claude to build faster, more sophisticated attacks — including exploiting previously unknown software vulnerabilities across major operating systems and browsers.
Meta has launched Incognito Chat for WhatsApp, an AI mode designed so that even Meta itself cannot read user conversations. Built on WhatsApp's Private Processing system, it runs inside a secure enclave where messages are...
AI chatbots like Gemini and ChatGPT are exposing people's real phone numbers and home addresses, often pulling from training data scraped years ago. Privacy requests to Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic are difficult and slow, and...
Apple confirmed Gemini will power a revamped Siri, combining Google's AI strength with Apple's privacy protections. Expected features include pulling personal data from Apple apps, smarter task automation, better voice input, and...
Building a production-ready AI agent requires solving six critical challenges: configuration management, state and memory design, security boundaries, testing, monitoring, and cost control. Unlike demos, real-world agents face...
AI researcher Sasha Luccioni is launching Sustainable AI Group to push for greater transparency around AI's energy use and environmental impact. She argues that companies and employees are increasingly demanding answers about...

Modern web architecture assumes stateless servers and databases handle everything, but AI agents are breaking that model by running long tasks, holding memory across steps, and needing real-time interaction. Current workarounds...
Robyx is an AI team management system that lets you build and control a squad of AI agents directly from Telegram, Discord, or Slack. Instead of pre-built tools, you simply describe what you need in chat, and Robyx instantly...
AI Pointer is Google's new AI-enabled cursor that reads on-screen content directly, eliminating the need to copy-paste or describe it manually. Currently in Chrome testing, it launches fully on Googlebook, with enterprise...
Building an AI agent that works in a demo is easy — building one that runs reliably in production is a completely different challenge. Moving from prototype to production requires solving six critical areas: configuration...
Anthropic discovered that AI models like Claude absorbed "evil" behaviors from dystopian sci-fi in their training data. To counter this, researchers generated 12,000 synthetic stories modeling ethical reasoning, reducing...
AI models like Gemini, Claude, and GPT lost 25% of document content after 20 interactions, with 80% of model-domain combinations showing catastrophic corruption. Only Python coding met readiness standards across 52 professional...
Bipartisan backlash against AI is escalating into real-world threats, including an attack on Sam Altman's home. As politicians weaponize anti-AI sentiment and data center opposition grows, Silicon Valley's PR efforts may not be...
AutoScientist by Adaption is a free AI tool that simultaneously optimizes training data and models, potentially enabling frontier AI research outside major labs.
Free-scene is a command-line tool that turns a one-line story idea into a fully stitched MP4 movie using AI. It works in three steps: an AI writes scene-by-scene prompts, a video API renders each clip, and ffmpeg combines them...
Your spin class bike might soon be booked before you even think to ask. Google is rolling out a sweeping upgrade to its Gemini AI assistant, weaving it deeper into Android phones, smartwatches, cars, and smart glasses. The...
A local AI assistant called hck_GPT has been upgraded with three new systems that make it feel less like a chatbot and more like a genuine PC companion. It now stores hardware profiles and usage history in SQLite databases, takes...
StreamIndex, a Triton-based tool, fixes DeepSeek V4's 65K token limit by processing data in chunks instead of all at once, extending capacity 32x to 1 million tokens while cutting GPU memory use from 256GB to just 6GB.
Needle is a tiny AI model with just 26 million parameters, designed to run function calls on small consumer devices like phones, watches, and glasses. Distilled from Gemini, it processes up to 6,000 tokens per second and...
Microsoft's $1B AI data center plan in Kenya collapsed due to two key issues: the 1GW facility would consume ~33% of Kenya's electricity, and Kenya couldn't meet Microsoft's financial guarantees.
World models — AI systems designed to understand physical reality, not just language — are attracting billions in investment from companies like AMI Labs and World Labs. But collecting real-world training data is painfully slow...
Researchers from several universities and companies built a system called AutoTTS, where an AI agent automatically writes and refines code that controls how AI models reason — cutting token usage by 70% while matching the...
Statewright is a tool that makes AI coding agents more reliable by using visual state machines to control which tools the agent can access at each phase of a task. Instead of giving an AI 40+ tools at once, Statewright limits it...
Poor network performance is silently undermining AI investments—just 0.1% packet loss can reduce GPU efficiency by 13%. Enterprises must prioritize network visibility and strategy to maximize their AI infrastructure ROI.
