    AI’s Progress Now Depends on ‘World Models’ That Grasp Physical Reality

    Robots and multimodal artificial intelligence still can’t grasp the physical world, a shortcoming one prominent researcher says is now the field’s biggest obstacle. Fei-Fei Li, the Stanford computer scientist widely regarded as a pioneer of modern computer vision, said the gap between AI and physical reality has become the tech's most urgent problem and argues that closing it would require systems built around spatial reasoning rather than language alone. AI is fast approaching the limits of tex...

  • What is the Fusaka Upgrade? Ethereum’s Biggest Scaling Bet Yet

    The next major upgrade for the Ethereum network is on the horizon. Called Fusaka—short for “Fulu-Osaka”—the release is scheduled for December 2025 and will combine significant changes in both Ethereum’s execution and consensus layers. Fusaka follows several milestones for the Ethereum network following The Merge in 2022. Shanghai/Shapella in 2023 introduced staked ETH withdrawals, Dencun in 2024 added proto-danksharding and blobs, and Pectra in 2025 brought validator flexibility and layer-2 inte...

    Amazon Sends Cease-and-Desist to Perplexity Over AI Agent Purchases

    In an early showdown over the rise of “agentic” browsers, Amazon sent a cease-and-desist letter to Perplexity AI demanding that its Comet assistant stop making purchases on the site. Amazon accused the AI search startup of disguising bots as human shoppers and violating its terms of service. The e-commerce giant said Perplexity’s agent “degraded the Amazon shopping experience” and introduced privacy risks by acting on users’ behalf without disclosure, according to a letter first reported by Bloo...

    Physics vs. Code: Why Google’s ‘Quantum Money’ Could Make Blockchain Obsolete

    For more than a decade, the world of digital currency has been built on a single foundation: the blockchain. This complex, code-based system of distributed ledgers was a revolutionary approach to creating digital scarcity and preventing counterfeiting. But now, researchers at Google are exploring a concept that could bypass it entirely, securing money not through a chain of code but through the fundamental laws of physics. This new research into "quantum money" offers an alternative to cryptocur...

    Ohio Bill Aims to Outlaw Human-Chatbot Marriage

    Artificial intelligence may be clever, but it can’t say “I do.” A measure introduced by Ohio State Representative Thaddeus Claggett aims to make it law that humans can’t marry their chatbot. If passed, the legislation, House Bill 469, would make it illegal to recognize an AI system as a spouse, domestic partner, or any kind of life companion. Though this might sound like a bizarre thing to legislate, people are indeed attempting to “marry” chatbots, though these are not legally recognized marri...
