Grant De Swardt stared at his usage graph. The independent AI consultant in East Sussex, U.K., hadn’t touched Claude that day. Yet tokens burned. Fast. He shut down every integration. Paused agents. Disabled cloud tasks. The next day, consumption climbed again. From 45% to 55% in a quiet window. No work. No scheduled jobs. Nothing.

Physicists have finally watched gravity leave its mark on a quantum object in free fall. The measurement confirms a prediction nearly a century old. It shows Einstein’s equivalence principle holds even when matter behaves as waves. The result comes from an intricate cold-atom experiment. Researchers split a cloud of ultracold rubidium atoms. One part stayed

Google’s latest Android security enhancements have left many users frustrated after the company introduced stricter controls that block access to several previously available customization options and system tweaks.

Robert Hommes has a pointed warning for executives racing to deploy AI agents. “The most dangerous example of an AI agent is one that successfully completes a task while actually producing the wrong outcome,” he says. The Next Web reported his comments just yesterday. Hommes founded Moyai to tackle exactly this problem. Traditional monitoring systems

The adoption race for artificial intelligence in finance departments has ended. Now comes the harder part: proving it moves the needle on actual dollars. Chief financial officers once rushed to pilot generative tools and chatbots. Surveys showed widespread experimentation. Results told a different story. In a June 2025 survey of 183 CFOs, The Next Web
