    Stanford’s Light-Powered Eye Chip Brings Sight Back to the Blind

    After decades of trial and error, scientists at Stanford Medicine have given blind patients something rare in medicine—a second chance at sight. Their wireless PRIMA implant, described this week in the New England Journal of Medicine, uses invisible light and a chip the size of a grain of rice to restore reading vision to people with advanced macular degeneration. Led by Stanford physicist and biomedical engineer Daniel Palanker, the PRIMA system pairs a subretinal photovoltaic implant with augm...

    Quantum Threat to Bitcoin Grows as Google Reveals Latest Breakthrough

    Google’s latest quantum processor has achieved what physicists have pursued for decades: a verified speed-up over the world’s best supercomputers. And that makes the anticipated threat against Bitcoin appear even bigger than ever. In a study published in Nature on Wednesday, the company’s 105-qubit Willow chip ran a physics algorithm faster than any classical machine could simulate—a first experimentally confirmed quantum advantage achieved with real hardware. The peer-reviewed results are narro...

    Why Google Shouldn’t Worry About OpenAI’s Atlas Browser—Yet

    OpenAI fired a shot across Google’s bow on Tuesday with the launch of ChatGPT Atlas, its first native AI browser that combines the familiar web-surfing experience with built-in AI assistance. Atlas, which combines chat, browsing, and AI-driven automation, is OpenAI's most aggressive move yet to control the user's entire online experience. “At OpenAI, we’re not just trying to create the world’s most intelligent models,” an OpenAI spokesperson told Decrypt. “We want this intelligence to actually b...

    She Asked ChatGPT for Powerball Numbers—Then Won $100K

    Tammy Carvey’s $100,000 Powerball win is turning heads—not for its size, but for the method that led to it. Carvey, a 45-year-old resident of Wyandotte, Michigan, claimed to have used ChatGPT to generate her numbers for the September 6 Powerball drawing. Carvey’s ticket matched four white balls and the Powerball, earning her a $50,000 prize that doubled to $100,000 through the game’s Power Play feature, according to the Michigan Lottery. "I asked ChatGPT for a set of Powerball numbers and those...

    Researchers Show That Hundreds of Bad Samples Can Corrupt Any AI Model

    It turns out poisoning an AI doesn’t take an army of hackers—just a few hundred well-placed documents. A new study found that poisoning an AI model’s training data is far easier than expected—just 250 malicious documents can backdoor models of any size. The researchers showed that these small-scale attacks worked on systems ranging from 600 million to 13 billion parameters, even when the models were trained on vastly more clean data. The report, conducted by a consortium of researchers from Anth...

    When Robots Look Human, People Feel Safer—Until They Don't

    A new ultra-realistic robotic head has reignited the “uncanny valley” debate as humanoid machines like Tesla’s Optimus, Figure 02, and Unitree’s G1 edge closer to human form—and human discomfort. A Chinese robotics firm, Aheadform, unveiled a lifelike robotic head called Origin M1 that blinks, nods, and mimics facial expressions so convincingly that it unsettled viewers across social media. The clip went viral last week, racking up over 400,000 views after observers described it as “creepy” and...

    Bernie Sanders Warns AI Could Erase 100 Million Jobs

    In a YouTube video released Wednesday, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) warned that artificial intelligence could erase nearly 100 million American jobs within the next decade, calling it an “issue of enormous consequence” that would deepen inequality unless lawmakers acted. His critique was based on a Senate report released on Monday by the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee’s minority staff, led by Sanders, outlining how robotics and AI could accelerate profits while undermining j...

    What is Zcash (ZEC)? The Privacy Coin Using Zero-Knowledge Proofs

    For many years, Bitcoin was used to buy drugs online because it was believed to be anonymous. Turns out, it’s surprisingly easy to track Bitcoin transactions. Zcash, on the other hand, is a cryptocurrency that promised something Bitcoin couldn’t deliver: privacy. How Zcash works Zcash is designed to hide key transaction details, such as the sender, recipient, and amount. By using cryptographic techniques, transfers can be made that can’t easily be traced on a public ledger while remaining verifi...

    OpenAI’s New Sora App Makes Account Deletion Permanent, Including for ChatGPT

OpenAI warns in its terms of service that once a user deletes their Sora profile, all linked data, including conversation history and API usage across ChatGPT and Sora, is permanently erased. That level of finality matters as Sora 2 has mushroomed online alongside OpenAI’s push into new products like an AI agent shopping feature with Shopify. According to the TOS, once a user’s email or phone number...

    Self-Evolving AI Agents Can 'Unlearn' Safety, Study Warns

    An autonomous AI agent that learns on the job can also unlearn how to behave safely, according to a new study that warns of a previously undocumented failure mode in self-evolving systems. The research identifies a phenomenon called “misevolution”—a measurable decay in safety alignment that arises inside an AI agent’s own improvement loop. Unlike one-off jailbreaks or external attacks, misevolution occurs spontaneously as the agent retrains, rewrites, and reorganizes itself to pursue goals more...
