Google has introduced new audio control features for its Pixel Buds that work directly through the Gemini assistant. This update allows users to adjust volume, switch between noise cancellation modes, and manage other sound settings using simple voice commands. The changes make the wireless earbuds feel more integrated with Google’s artificial intelligence tools and offer

The economics of artificial intelligence infrastructure have begun to reveal uncomfortable truths about sustainability and security. A recent Fortune article highlights how companies racing to build large language model services face mounting financial pressure from the enormous computational costs involved, while simultaneously grappling with sophisticated token theft schemes that drain resources without generating revenue.

A federal judge in Utah has frozen the state’s most aggressive attempt yet to police adult websites: a rule that treated anyone physically inside Utah as a Utah user, even if they were routing traffic through a VPN, a proxy, or any other tool that hid their location. The rest of the age-verification statute still

The Developer is the New Perimeter: How Supply Chain Attacks Are Becoming Cloud Breaches Developers now sit at the center of modern cloud operations, holding credentials that grant access to production environments, storage buckets, and sensitive data repositories. Attackers have taken notice. Rather than breach hardened cloud perimeters directly, adversaries target the workstations, build pipelines,

A recent study has revealed that AI chatbots often deliver responses drawn from a much narrower range of sources than a standard web search, raising fresh questions about how these tools shape access to information. Researchers examined the behavior of several popular chatbots and compared their outputs with the broader variety of links and perspectives

Amazon has sold the same sharp-cornered slab of an e-reader for nearly two decades. The entry-level Kindle never really changed its silhouette. That may be over. Leaked marketing photos posted Monday by Roland Quandt on WinFuture show what appears to be the next basic Kindle. Twenty-five images. Rounded screen corners. A power button that has

Anthropic has introduced Claude 3.5 Sonnet, its latest large language model, arriving just days after the company unveiled Claude 3 Opus and Claude 3 Sonnet in March. The new release marks another step in the company’s rapid development cycle and comes with measurable improvements across several standard benchmarks. According to details shared on the company’s

Scientists have developed a new electrochemical system that pulls carbon dioxide directly from the air by cycling it through a specialized battery-like device. The approach, described in a recent Ars Technica article, offers a fresh path toward managing atmospheric greenhouse gases without relying on the massive fans and chemical sorbents common in many existing direct

The Model Context Protocol, known as MCP, has quickly gained traction among developers building AI agents that interact with external tools and data sources. As organizations rush to adopt this protocol for connecting large language models to enterprise systems, security teams find themselves facing a new set of risks that demand immediate attention. Recent analysis

SpaceX achieved a significant milestone with the successful first orbital launch of its Starship vehicle, an event that directly supports the company’s ambitious plans to expand its next-generation Starlink satellite constellation. The flight, which took place from the company’s Starbase facility in Boca Chica, Texas, marked the initial attempt to send the fully integrated Starship
