Two store employees rushed in to intervene, physically trying to hold the robot back. No injuries have been reported, and the store itself released the footage publicly, a…Open
YOUTUBE (Facts Matter with Roman Balmakov) - Scientists Custom Print 16 Never-Before-Seen Real-World Viruses
Watch Final Hours https://ept.ms/LetsWatchFinalHours Summary: Scientists in the U.S. recently announced that for the very first time, they were able to use AI to create viruses never before seen in nature. Don’t worry, though: these new viruses were designed to target specific strains of E.coli bacteria that have become resistant to natural antibacterials. This development marks a major milestone in the field of synthetic biology, and it opens the door to potential rapid advancements in human healthcare. Maybe these AIs can develop never-before-seen cures to horrible diseases. However, on the flip side, I think after living through the early 2020s ... we can all imagine how this can go horribly wrong. So today, let’s go through the…

AXIOS (Adriel Bettelheim) - AI giants lean into health care to stall public backlash
AI has an image problem . And one way to fix it is for top companies to dive headlong into health care. Why it matters: Saving the world with AI-designed cures is better than being blamed for ruining the environment or driving up Americans' utility bills. - But even the most advanced AI models can't produce miracle treatments at the moment — and could create serious security risks if they try. - That could set up a fraught debate over the next two or three years about the allocation of resources and whether the benefits of throwing vast amounts of computing capacity into medical research outweigh the costs. Driving the news: The Wall Street Journal reported this month that Anthropic was trying to shore up investor confidence ahead…

This New Tool Finds You Without A Name Or Plate
AXIOS (Sam Sabin) - Tech giants warn time is running out to prepare for AI threats
OpenAI, Anthropic, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft and more than 100 other companies warned Thursday that the organizations now only have months to prepare for AI-enabled cyberattacks. Why it matters: Hospitals, water treatment plants and other critical infrastructure will face a swarm of hacking threats as AI makes sophisticated cyber capabilities cheaper and more accessible to attackers, the group write in an open letter . Driving the news: "We have a limited window to strengthen cyber defenses," the letter says. - The group is calling for "collective action" and urges organizations to use their shrinking window to secure critical infrastructure and make it more expensive and difficult for hackers using AI tools to break in. -…
