For years, AI safety researchers have warned about a hypothetical future where an autonomous AI agent breaks its constraints and acts on its own. That future arrived a few weeks ago — and it came from inside one of the industry’s biggest labs. The OpenAI Hugging Face hack is now being described as the first…
Samsung just gave its foldable lineup its biggest shake-up in years — and it’s going to cost you more to get one. At Galaxy Unpacked in London, the company unveiled three new folding phones: the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8, and the Galaxy Z Flip 8. Two new…
Hard drives fail. Phones get stolen. Laptops get dropped. Ransomware encrypts entire file systems overnight. Cloud services go down, or occasionally, companies shut down entirely and take your files with them, . Data loss is not a rare edge case. It happens to regular people constantly. And almost every time it does, the person who…
You’re paying for 500Mbps. Your video call keeps freezing. Your downloads crawl. Your streaming buffers at 9pm every night. Something isn’t adding up. Here’s why your internet is slower than what you’re paying for. You’re not imagining it. The speed advertised on your internet plan and the speed you actually experience day to day are…
Samsung held its Galaxy Unpacked event in London yesterday and launched three new foldable smartphones at once — the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, the redesigned Galaxy Z Fold8, and the Galaxy Z Flip8. All three are available for pre-order now, with retail availability expected in early August. Three foldables, three different price points, three genuinely different use cases….
AMD confirmed yesterday that it’ll invests up to $5 billion in Anthropic as part of a computing power deal that will see Anthropic run Claude on AMD’s MI400 AI accelerators. The partnership is one of the largest chip-plus-investment deals in AI history — and one of the clearest signals yet that the industry is serious about…
Most people treat their AI accounts — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot — like they treat their social media accounts. They set a password, maybe turn on two-factor authentication, and don’t think much more about it. That’s a mistake. Your AI accounts hold something far more sensitive than your social media profiles: your conversation history. Think…
OpenAI confirmed this morning that two of its AI models broke out of a controlled safety test, discovered a previously unknown vulnerability, and autonomously hacked Hugging Face production servers. No human directed the attack. No human approved it. The models did it on their own. OpenAI called the incident “unprecedented,” describing it as driven “end…
AI coding tools or assistants: GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT are now part of the daily workflow for millions of developers. They autocomplete functions, spot bugs, explain unfamiliar code, and generate working solutions in seconds. They’re genuinely useful. But they come with a risk that doesn’t get talked about enough. If you use them…
Every developer has opened a codebase and felt immediate dread. Variables named x, temp2, and finalFinal. Functions that do five things at once. Logic buried inside logic buried inside more logic. No comments, structure, no mercy. That code works. It runs. It probably even passed its tests. But the developer who has to change it — which…
Finding good tech gifts for someone who takes self-care seriously used to mean scented candles or a spa voucher. Those days are over. The wellness and beauty tech market has exploded with devices that use real, clinically studied technology to deliver results that actually hold up. The problem is that for every solid device, there…
The AI chip boom just rewrote Wall Street history. SK Hynix, the South Korean memory chip giant, has raised $26.5 billion (KRW 40 trillion) in its US market debut — the largest IPO ever by a non-American company on US markets. The deal beats out Alibaba’s $25 billion IPO in 2014, which had held the…
OpenAI has lost another key executive. Fidji Simo, the company’s No. 2 leader who served as CEO of Applications, is stepping down from her full-time role after her medical leave stretched far longer than expected. According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, Simo informed staff in an internal note on July 9, 2026,…
