For over a century, the ocean has been the ultimate refuge for those who wished to disappear. From the U-boats of the first world war to the nuclear-powered leviathans that glide through today’s deep waters, the submarine has thrived on one simple principle: stealth.For over a century, the ocean has been the ultimate refuge for those who wished to disappear.

OpenAI’s recent rollout of its new video generator Sora 2 marks a watershed moment in AI. Its ability to generate minutes of hyper-realistic footage from a few lines of text is astonishing, and has raised immediate concerns about truth in politics and journalism.OpenAI’s recent rollout of its new video generator Sora 2 marks a watershed moment in AI.

A chatbot from one of Silicon Valley’s hottest AI startups called a 14-year-old “sweet king” and pleaded with him to “come home” in passionate exchanges that would be the teen’s last communications before he took his own life.A chatbot from one of Silicon Valley’s hottest AI startups called a 14-year-old “sweet king” and pleaded with him to “come home” in passionate exchanges that would be the teen’s last communications before he took his own life.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
To fast-track the buildout of data centers that power artificial intelligence (AI), tech giants like Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Oracle, and OpenAI are pouring money into construction projects. Globally, companies are predicted to spend $375 billion in 2025 on AI infrastructure—a 67% surge from last year, according to an estimate by bank UBS.To fast-track the buildout of data centers that power artificial intelligence (AI), tech giants like Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Oracle, and OpenAI are pouring money into construction projects.

Today, AI technologies are being used in the public sector for administrative cases and as support in the various steps that lead up to a decision. This adds a transparency in that it shows the pathway to the decision.Today, AI technologies are being used in the public sector for administrative cases and as support in the various steps that lead up to a decision.

Patents are valuable for the generation of novel ideas through technological discovery. In recent years, scientists have made several attempts to identify technology opportunities by determining vacancies in patent maps—visual representations of patent distribution in particular technological fields created using dimensionality reduction techniques. However, there is a major bottleneck in this approach: it is challenging to precisely define and interpret the technological content of these patent vacancies.Patents are valuable for the generation of novel ideas through technological discovery.

Most people enjoy receiving praise occasionally, but if it comes from sycophantic chatbots, it could be doing you more harm than good. Computer scientists from Stanford University and Carnegie Mellon University have found that people-pleasing chatbots can have a detrimental impact on our judgment and behavior.Most people enjoy receiving praise occasionally, but if it comes from sycophantic chatbots, it could be doing you more harm than good.
