As the 2026 Olympic Winter Games begin today, news articles are swelling with juicy claims that male ski jumpers have injected their penises with fillers to gain a flight advantage. As the rumor goes, having a bigger bulge on a required 3D body scan taken in the pre-season could earn jumpers extra centimeters of material

Amid a push toward AI agents, with both Anthropic and OpenAI shipping multi-agent tools this week, Anthropic is more than ready to show off some of its more daring AI coding experiments. But as usual with claims of AI-related achievement, you’ll find some key caveats ahead. On Thursday, Anthropic researcher Nicholas Carlini published a blog

Enforcement against polluters in the United States plunged in the first year of President Donald Trump’s second term, a far bigger drop than in the same period of his first term, according to a new report from a watchdog group. By analyzing a range of federal court and administrative data, the nonprofit Environmental Integrity Project

Anthropic will not put ads in conversations with its AI assistant Claude. It wants ads nowhere near its AI-generated content. “Even ads that don’t directly influence an AI model’s responses and instead appear separately within the chat window would compromise what we want Claude to be: a clear space to think and work,” it announced

A particularly insidious phishing campaign is disguising malware pretending to be ordinary PDF documents behind links to virtual hard disks. Because workers are used to receiving purchase orders or invoices in the PDF format, they are likely to open the malicious files unthinkingly, enabling the malware they contain — in this case AsyncRAT, a remote-access

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has announced plans to put a million data centers in space, a program he hopes will help meet the growing demand for existing facilities on earth driven by the increasing use of AI. Experts, however, have dismissed the idea of data centers in space as completely impractical. Thermal management is one

It’s for real this time: After nearly 20 years, there will soon be no more Exchange Web Services (EWS) in Microsoft Exchange Online. The API will be disabled by default on October 1, 2026, and will be completely shut down on April 1, 2027, with “no exceptions.” Organizations must have switched to Microsoft Graph by

Penetration testing has always existed to answer one practical concern: what actually happens when a motivated attacker targets a real system. For many years, that answer was produced through scoped engagements that reflected a relatively stable environment. Infrastructure changed slowly, access models were simpler, and most exposure could be traced back to application code or

In the current landscape of generative artificial intelligence, we have reached a saturation point with assistants. Most users are familiar with the routine. You prompt a tool, it provides a draft, and then you spend the next hour manually moving that output into another application for formatting, design, or distribution. AI promised to save time,
