A microscopic, stitch-free eye implant may be used to treat both type 1 and tyoe 2 diabetes and other diseases, a new study suggests.
đšExecutives in U.S. firms under attack.
A new EvilProxy phishing campaign is targeting top-level employees, including banking, insurance, real estate, and manufacturing sectors.
Learn how they operate:
Operating since last May, an emerging ransomware strain called Rhysida was deployed along with new stealer malware called Lumar for a potent new one-two punch against Brazilâs popular PIX payment system users.
Researchers from Kaspersky reported Rhysida is functioning as a ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) operation with a demonstrated ability to quickly evolve.
â It stands out for its unique self-deletion mechanism and compatibility with pre-Windows 10 versions of Microsoft. Written in C++ and compiled with MinGW and shared libraries, Rhysida showcases sophistication in its design,â Kaspersky said in its findings about the group. âWhile relatively new, Rhysida faced initial configuration challenges with its onion server, revealing a groupâs rapid adaptation and learning curve.â
This exemplary virus makes its own genes which many have theories say that it could be a direct relationship to the sorta alien ant farm we are currently in on earth. That maybe it is a clue that viruses started all life from a sorta panspermia whether it was from meteorites or even direct gene engineering from aliens this virus gives us a clue even to our evolutionary processes that we could even become aliens someday.
Pandoraviruses, the largest viruses ever found, are shaking up the tree of life. Could they and other abnormally large viruses belong to a fourth branch of life separate from Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukaryotes?
Although they are more commonly associated with causing disease and, at times, devastating pandemics, viruses have also played an important role in human evolution.
âOpen source communication is a fundamental human right,â Automattic CEO Matt Mullenweg says, and heâs buying a platform to help pull it off.
Automattic, the company that runs WordPress.com, Tumblr, Pocket Casts, and a number of other popular web properties, just made a different kind of acquisition: itâs buying Texts, a universal messaging app, for $50 million.
Texts is an app for all your messaging apps. You can use it to log in to WhatsApp, Instagram, LinkedIn, Signal, iMessage, and more and see and respond to all your messages in one place. (Beeper is another app doing similar things.) The app also offers some additional features like AI-generated responses and summaries, but its primary⊠More.

The tool, called Nightshade, messes up training data in ways that could cause serious damage to image-generating AI models.
A new tool lets artists add invisible changes to the pixels in their art before they upload it online so that if itâs scraped into an AI training set, it can cause the resulting model to break in chaotic and unpredictable ways.
The tool, called Nightshade, is intended as a way to fight back against AI companies that use artistsâ work to train their models without the creatorâs permission. Using it to âpoisonâ this training data could damage future iterations of image-generating AI models, such as DALL-E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion, by rendering some of their outputs⊠More.
D-ID, the Tel Aviv-based startup best known as the tech behind those viral videos of animated family photos, is bringing its AI video technology to a new mobile app, launching today. Originally available as a web platform, D-IDâs Creative Reality Studio allows users to upload a still image and script and then turn that into an AI-generated video. The technology can be used to create digital representations of themselves, historical figures, fictional characters, presenters or brand ambassadors.
Early use cases the company had been targeting involved corporate training and education, internal and external communication from companies, and product marketing and sales, TechCrunch previously reported.
Now available on mobile, users will download the D-ID app from the App Store or Google Play and then create an account or log in, if already registered. On the selection screen, you can either pick a premade âdigital personâ that D-ID provides or upload an image from your phoneâs photo library. Youâll then enter the text you want the digital person to say, choosing from 119 languages, as well as pick between male and female voice options. You can also choose the tone of the speech â like cheerful, excited, friendly, hopeful, newscast, sad, shouting, terrified, unfriendly, whispering and others.
Training generative AI models is challenging. It requires an infrastructure that can move and process data with performance characteristics unheard of outside of traditional supercomputing environments. Nobody better understands the demands that AI puts on infrastructure than the service providers that specialize in the space.
Lambda and VAST Data have engaged in a new strategic partnership that brings the VAST Data Platform to Lambda. This follows similar announcements from CoreWeave and G42 Cloud, both of which unveiled similar relationships with VAST over the past few months. This makes VAST Data the top choice for dedicated AI service providers.
Lambda Labs and VAST Data have engaged in a new strategic partnership that brings the VAST Data Platform to Lambda Labs.

NASA engineers tested a half-scale version of the Dragonfly rotorcraft that will eventually explore the surface of Saturnâs largest moon, Titan.
NASAâs Ingenuity Mars helicopter is a massive success story, far exceeding its original mission goals.
Now, NASA is taking lessons from the first rotorcraft to fly on another planet and applying it to a larger machine exploring Saturnâs largest moon, Titan.
