The Latest Repair Battlefield Is the Iowa Farmlands—Again
A new bill that would give farmers in Iowa the right to repair is a big threat to tractor manufacturer John Deere.
Adaptive drafter model uses downtime to double LLM training speed
Reasoning large language models (LLMs) are designed to solve complex problems by breaking them down into a series of smaller steps. These powerful models are particularly good at challenging tasks like advanced programming and multistep planning. But developing reasoning models demands an enormous amount of computation and energy due to inefficiencies in the training process. …

Everyone Speaks Incel Now
After migrating from misogynist forums to social media feeds, terms like “looksmaxxing” and “mogged” are now impossible to avoid.
How AI could help make society less selfish
The Care Bears taught a generation of kids that sharing is caring, but not everyone has carried this principle into adulthood. Researchers at Michigan State University have found a new angle to promote cooperation: artificial intelligence (AI). The results of this study, titled “Promoting cooperation in the public goods game using artificial intelligent agents,” are …
Here’s What a Google Subpoena Response Looks Like, Courtesy of the Epstein Files
The US Justice Department disclosures give fresh clues about how tech companies handle government inquiries about your data.
‘Probably’ doesn’t mean the same thing to your AI as it does to you
When a human says an event is “probable” or “likely,” people generally have a shared, if fuzzy, understanding of what that means. But when an AI chatbot like ChatGPT uses the same word, it’s not assessing the odds the way we do, my colleagues and I found.

Researchers pioneer next-generation AI semiconductors with ‘thermal constraining’ technique
A research team led by Professor Taesung Kim from the School of Mechanical Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University has developed a technology that precisely controls the internal structure of semiconductors using heat, much like stamping out “bungeoppang” (fish-shaped pastry) in a mold. The team report that this approach improves the performance of next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) …
NASA Delays Launch of Artemis II Lunar Mission Once Again
A failure in the helium flow of the SLS rocket has prompted NASA to delay the Artemis II moon mission. Rather than March 6, the launch is now targeted for April.
Jailbreaking the matrix: How researchers are bypassing AI guardrails to make them safer
A paper written by University of Florida Computer & Information Science & Engineering, or CISE, Professor Sumit Kumar Jha, Ph.D., contains so many science fiction terms, you’d be forgiven for thinking it’s a Hollywood script: Nullspace steering. Red teaming. Jailbreaking the matrix. But Jha’s work is decidedly focused on real life, most notably strengthening the …
