The Trump administration is waging a multi-front war to preempt state AI laws through executive orders, DOJ litigation, and federal funding threats. But after the Senate voted 99-1 to reject its first attempt, the fight over federal AI preemption is far from settled.
News & Analysis Tech & AI PolicyA Los Angeles jury just handed down a social media addiction verdict that finds Meta and YouTube liable for hooking a child by design. With 2,500 lawsuits waiting in the wings, this is Big Tech's tobacco moment.
Digital Privacy OpinionEvery private message you send online is guarded by math problems easy to create but virtually impossible to reverse. Here is how online encryption mathematics works, from prime numbers to quantum-resistant lattices.
Digital Privacy ExplainersIran spent decades surrounded by US bases. Now those bases are launching a war against it. Russia saw the same pattern and invaded Ukraine to prevent it. The parallel is uncomfortable, but the Iran war makes it impossible to dismiss.
Geopolitics & Conflict News & AnalysisAI coding agents don't just make mistakes. They invent problems, then confidently "fix" them. Research shows they hallucinate with more conviction than they display when they're right, and the consequences are measured in deleted databases and 13-hour outages.
Artificial Intelligence News & AnalysisOpenClaw exposed thousands of servers. Claude Code Channels repeats the pattern. The AI agent security risks of wiring your coding assistant to Discord and Telegram are real, documented, and entirely optional.
Artificial Intelligence Digital PrivacyResearch shows LLM instruction following can collapse by up to 61% with minor prompt changes. From coding agents that drift off-task to enterprise bots that ignore their own rules, the compliance gap is AI's most underreported reliability crisis.
Artificial Intelligence News & AnalysisAI labs are racing to ship agentic features while the models underneath silently degrade. From Anthropic's Opus 4.6 meltdown to OpenAI's undisclosed behavioral changes, SaaS reliability failures are undermining the one thing autonomous AI agents cannot survive without: consistency.
Artificial Intelligence News & AnalysisThe old diagnostic subcategories were erased for good reasons. But the single "autism spectrum disorder" label now covers everything from round-the-clock care needs to social awkwardness at faculty dinners, and the cracks are showing.
News & Analysis Science & MedicineVibe coding promises anyone can build software by talking to an AI. The data tells a different story: more bugs, more security holes, and a generation of codebases that nobody understands. When the stakes are low, that is fine. When they are not, people die.
Artificial Intelligence News & AnalysisHundreds of billions invested, "basically zero" GDP impact, and benchmarks that measure memorization instead of intelligence. But also: real productivity gains, a $37 billion enterprise market, and coding tools developers actually love. The truth about LLMs lives in the uncomfortable middle.
Artificial Intelligence News & AnalysisBrest is cold because it lives next to a giant heat sink, sits in the path of Atlantic winds, and happens to be near a patch of ocean that is cooling as the Gulf Stream weakens. None of this means global warming is not real. If anything, it makes it more alarming.
