The Elon Musk-owned xAI is suing a South Carolina man who allegedly used the company's Grok AI chatbot to generate child sexual abuse material (CSAM). In a lawsuit reported earlier by Reuters, xAI claims Terry Wayne Harwood "knowingly and intentionally used Grok to circumvent safeguards, alter nonconsensual images, and generate and distribute CSAM," breaching the company's policies. Harwood was arrested in February for allegedly possessing and distributing CSAM and is facing eight felony charges. The lawsuit claims "at least some" of the images related to Harwood's criminal charges "were gene...

This weekend, cinephiles across the world will march to their local theaters to feast their eyes on Christopher Nolan's new adaptation of The Odyssey. It's on track to rake in anywhere between $80-$100 million in just a few days. People are clearly excited to see how Nolan uses cutting-edge filmmaking tech to make the Homeric classic feel fresh. But another director is trying to capitalize on the buzz around Nolan's project to drum up interest in an Odysseus-focused movie of his own. On Tuesday, film studio Fountain 0 announced that it is working on an AI-generated reimagining of The Odyssey ...

OpenAI, which is in the middle of a legal battle with Apple over hardware trade theft allegations, just released a light-up keyboard designed to be paired with its agentic coding app.

So when is fair use actually just stealing? | Cath Virginia / The Verge | Photo from Getty Images Suno data obtained in a hacking incident has exposed that the AI music generator was trained by scraping millions of songs and lyrics from online audio platforms, including YouTube Music, Deezer, and Genius, 404 Media reports. Given that Suno has avoided revealing what's in its training datasets and how they were acquired, this a rare glimpse into what Suno has actually been taking from online platforms. That's relevant because Suno has been the subject of several lawsuits that allege it used cop...

MetaPerch leverages recording metadata (location, time) as auxiliary supervision for bioacoustic foundation models trained on Xeno-Canto data.

Linear and attention probes on Evo 2 genomic foundation model detect antimicrobial resistance in metagenomic data with 0.977 ROC-AUC.

For over fifteen years, x86 CPUs have shipped with a dedicated hardware instruction for carryless multiplication. It’s a small but stubborn primitive that sits underneath authenticated encryption, error-correcting codes, and modern zero-knowledge proofs. Until now, NVIDIA GPUs lacked native support for this operation. NVIDIA CUDA 13.3 closes that gap with , a new PTX instruction available on… Source

OpenAI has built an LLM super-hacker called GPT-Red that it uses as a sparring partner to help its other models boost their defenses against cyberattacks. Last week the company released the latest version of its flagship LLM, GPT-5.6. OpenAI says that training it against GPT-Red made the model its most robust release yet. GPT-Red automates…
