The chatbot-enabled Friend necklace eavesdrops on your life and provides a running commentary that’s snarky and unhelpful. Worse, it can also make the people around you uneasy.

Researchers convinced large language model chatbots to comply with “forbidden” requests using a variety of conversational tactics.

Artificial intelligence optimization offers a host of benefits for mechanical engineers, including faster and more accurate designs and simulations, improved efficiency, reduced development costs through process automation, and enhanced predictive maintenance and quality control. “When people think about mechanical engineering, they’re thinking about basic mechanical tools like hammers and … hardware like cars, robots, cranes, but mechanical

Plus: An AI chatbot system is linked to a widespread hack, details emerge of a US plan to plant a spy device in North Korea, your job’s security training isn’t working, and more.

On this episode of Uncanny Valley, we break down the role of AI in the online gambling scene.

Anthropic will pay at least $3,000 for each copyrighted work that it pirated. The company downloaded unauthorized copies of books in early efforts to gather training data for its AI tools.

This post was written with Mohamed Hossam of Brightskies. Research universities engaged in large-scale AI and high-performance computing (HPC) often face significant infrastructure challenges that impede innovation and delay research outcomes. Traditional on-premises HPC clusters come with long GPU procurement cycles, rigid scaling limits, and complex maintenance requirements. These obstacles restrict researchers’ ability to iterate

Eliezer Yudkowsky, AI’s prince of doom, explains why computers will kill us and provides an unrealistic plan to stop it.

3D printing has come a long way since its invention in 1983 by Chuck Hull, who pioneered stereolithography, a technique that solidifies liquid resin into solid objects using ultraviolet lasers. Over the decades, 3D printers have evolved from experimental curiosities into tools capable of producing everything from custom prosthetics to complex food designs, architectural models,
