However, while Google’s achievements have been noted for advancing the field, experts say that quantum computing still has no real-world uses — yet.
“We need a ChatGPT moment for quantum,” Francesco Ricciuti, associate at venture capital firm Runa Capital, told CNBC on Tuesday, referencing OpenAI’s chatbot that has been credited with driving the boom in artificial intelligence. “This is probably not that.”
Proponents of quantum computing claim it will be able to solve problems that current computers can’t.
Nearly half a dozen institutions of higher education separately announced plans this week to make tuition free for undergraduates who meet certain income requirements, reflecting a growing nationwide effort to make college more affordable.
The schools span states from Massachusetts to New Mexico, and include some of the country’s leading universities. They all announced their initiatives within days of each other. And while the specific financial requirements for current students applicants vary between schools, all are slated to take effect in fall 2025.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, for example, says undergraduates with family income below $200,000 can attend tuition free starting next year, up from its current threshold of $140,000. It said in its announcement that 80% of American households meet the updated threshold.
Hackers Infect 8,000,000 Smartphones As ‘SpyLoan’ Drains Bank Accounts, Steals Sensitive Data for Extortion: McAfee Alert
Posted in cybercrime/malcode, finance, mobile phones | Leave a Comment on Hackers Infect 8,000,000 Smartphones As ‘SpyLoan’ Drains Bank Accounts, Steals Sensitive Data for Extortion: McAfee Alert
Cybersecurity firm McAfee says it’s identified a “significant global increase” in a smartphone hack that triggers extortion, harassment and drains bank accounts.
McAfee says hackers are increasingly deploying a group of malicious financial apps containing “SpyLoan” malware, posing a serious threat with more than eight million active installations around the world.
The apps are on Google Play and use the names, logos, brand colors and interfaces of well-known financial institutions.
Ryan Serhant’s eponymous brokerage has been in rapid growth mode this year following the success of the Netflix show “Owning Manhattan,” and now investors want in on the action.
SERHANT. announced Monday that it secured $45 million in a seed funding round led by real estate venture capital firm Camber Creek and participation from Left Lane Capital.
The investment — which is going to SERHANT. Technologies, the umbrella company that includes the brokerage — will be used to develop the company’s AI platform known as S.MPLE. The company believes S.MPLE will optimize workflows and help scale other parts of its business, including the brokerage.

“The effects of cyber-enabled crime can be devastating – people losing their life savings, businesses crippled, and trust in digital and financial systems undermined,” INTERPOL Secretary General Valdecy Urquiza said in a statement.
“The borderless nature of cybercrime means international police cooperation is essential, and the success of this operation supported by INTERPOL shows what results can be achieved when countries work together. It’s only through united efforts that we can make the real and digital worlds safer.”
As part of HAECHI-V, INTERPOL said Korean and Beijing authorities jointly dismantled a widespread voice phishing syndicate responsible for financial losses totaling $1.1 billion and affecting over 1,900 victims.
Physicists from the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) have developed an innovative computing system using laser beams and everyday display technology, marking a significant leap forward in the quest for more powerful quantum computing solutions.
The breakthrough, achieved by researchers at the university’s Structured Light Lab, offers a simpler and more cost-effective approach to advanced quantum computing by harnessing the unique properties of light. This development could potentially speed up complex calculations in fields such as logistics, finance and artificial intelligence. The research was published in the journal APL Photonics as the editor’s pick.
“Traditional computers work like switchboards, processing information as simple yes or no decisions. Our approach uses laser beams to process multiple possibilities simultaneously, dramatically increasing computing power,” says Dr. Isaac Nape, the Optica Emerging Leader Chair in Optics at Wits.
“Life is incredible.” Here’s how a brain implant changed the life of Jon Nelson, who long suffered from severe depression. Now a patient advocate for startup Motif, he spoke to Emily Chang about the hope of using neurotech to treat mental illnesses.
