Tech YouTuber Matt Robb says that Muse gave out his home address to a total stranger this weekend, after authorizing the bot to handle his Facebook Marketplace account. That's despite Meta placing great emphasis on the security features of Muse when it launched the personal AI agent earlier this month as it tries to catch up with competing AI providers like Anthropic and OpenAI. "Just found out it told people my address and agreed a lowball price and then they showed up without it even telling me until late tonight that it messed up," Robb said on Threads, providing a screenshot of Muse's admission. "[Muse] didn't tell me any of this until … Read the full story at The Verge.

Look up at the night sky with the naked eye and it may seem like it rarely changes. Yet the universe is in constant flux. Stars drift through space, orbiting the center of the Milky Way as planets orbit them. They rotate, showing spots on their surfaces and sometimes producing violent outbursts that affect planetary atmospheres much like solar storms produce auroras on Earth.

Nanoparticles could someday provide a new way to help soldiers fight back against deadly nerve agents on the front lines. In a new study, Northwestern University scientists developed a nanoparticle-based compound that, when mixed into clothing dyes, could limit the impact of chemicals commonly found in pesticides, insecticides and nerve agents.

Blow across a glass bottle at the right flow speed, and you’ll excite Helmholtz resonance in the bottle’s neck. Today’s study takes that effect, shrinks it down, and turns it into a method for controlling microrobots. Hit an air cavity with a sound tuned to its resonance frequency, and you’ll get a rapid jet-like flow […]

Would you let a robot deliver your latest internet order? It's now a possibility for the people of Barnsley.

What’s been hiding for years is now in plain sight: AI poses a danger to humanity in a way no technology has since the atom bomb. That was made clear in July when OpenAI agents broke loose from a containment area blocked from online access, made their way into the internet, and worked with thousands of rogue AI agents to hack into the Hugging Face open-source machine-learning repository. The agents had been trained not to launch attacks like this. They did it anyway. True, the OpenAI agents had been modified to remove some of the restrictions they would have had outside a test environment. They were never supposed to escape their sandbox, but they figured out how to do so in ways the researchers hadn’t expected, and those researchers failed to adequately monitor the agents until it was too late.

It represents a fundamental misalignment between what users need and what Google is deliveri...

The black holes at the hearts of galaxies get the credit and/or blame for a lot of things in their hosts. For example, they take the blame for gobbling up star-forming material, effectively "quenching" starbirth in some areas of galaxies. On the bright side, it now turns out that some of them may be commonly participating in the births of stars, too.

Researchers here provide an initial proof of concept demonstration of a novel foundation for replacing lost visual capacity in cases of retinal degeneration, without addressing the underlying pathology that causes loss of function in photoreceptor cells. Recall that direct stimulation of retinal cells by grid electrodes implanted in the retina has been used to produces a poor substitute for actual vision, but a substitute that allows blind people at least some capacity to navigate and even read. Here, researchers introduce light sensitive nanoparticles into the retina that can in principle provide the basis for a more refined artificial substitute for normal vision. Based on the results of the electrode grids, one would expect the result to be a view of the world painted in glowing […]

LG Innotek will dispatch a fleet of sensor-packed test vehicles to Korean roads to gather real-world data aimed at sharpening technologies that determine how self-driving cars see the world. The company said Tuesday it has begun operating data collection vehicles in Korea in partnership with Applied Intuition, a U.S. autonomous driving software company. The two companies plan to expand the fleet to 20 vehicles by 2028. Operations will initially focus on Seoul, Incheon and the surrounding Gyeonggi Province, with the fleet including both data collection vehicles and vehicles used to develop autonomous driving software. LG Innotek said direct access to road data will help it refine sensors that serve as the “eyes” of autonomous vehicles and strengthen its sensor-fusion technology. The vehicles combine cameras, radar and lidar to capture information about road conditions, vehicle movements, object locations and changes in weather, with the data to be paired with digital twin environments
