A report by the Washington-based Tech Transparency Project found 332 paid ads containing AI-generated child sexual abuse imagery ran on Meta's platforms over the past 10 months, with 84 appearing in India. Of those Indian ads, 78 ran after India ordered Meta to remove such content following a BBC investigation. Some ads reused photos of real children, including a European royal, digitally manipulated to create abusive imagery.
The White House removed a browser game called 'Build the Wall' from its website after the Tetris Company said it had no involvement in the title and takes copyright infringement seriously. The game, which used block-stacking mechanics resembling Tetris, tasked players with building a wall to stop a 'zombie border siege' and drew criticism for its racist framing. The page now returns a 404 error, though another game on the site, Rio Run, which involves deporting immigrant characters, remains live.
Marvell Technology CEO Matt Murphy told CNBC that the company's ability to earn trust with major cloud computing customers over ten years has driven its shares up about 241% in the past year, far outpacing rival Broadcom's 6.6% gain. He pointed to new AI partnerships with Nvidia and Google, along with custom chip deals with all four major U.S. hyperscalers, as evidence of that trust paying off.
Major employers including Accenture, Disney, Meta, JP Morgan, KPMG and Coinbase are now measuring staff AI adoption through leaderboards, training mandates and performance reviews, with some firms firing employees who don't comply. Accenture's CEO has openly stated that career advancement now depends on integrating AI into daily work, while a US consultancy executive describes unofficial pressure to show AI fluency to avoid being sidelined.
Google has signaled it will scale back certain search functionality for European users rather than fully comply with EU antitrust rules, aiming to sidestep potential fines. The company frames this as a response to regulatory demands it considers overly burdensome or conflicting with its business model.
Longstanding advice to periodically restart a computer remains valid today, with experts recommending Windows PCs be rebooted at least once a week. Linux systems generally require fewer restarts, and laptops should be shut down or put to sleep after use due to their limited cooling capacity.
Meta rolled out Muse, a new autonomous AI agent that CEO Mark Zuckerberg says learns a user's habits and goals to handle everyday tasks like online shopping, drafting documents, filling out forms, and answering emails. Users must grant Muse permission to access their apps and data, and Meta says a separate 'Sentinel' system monitors its actions to prevent it from acting without oversight. The tool is now live in the US on iOS, Android, and via the muse.ai website.
A browser-based project reproduces mid-century mathematical illustration techniques—like those in Francis's 'A Topological Picture Book'—for 3D surfaces, using triangulated meshes, GPU-computed silhouettes, and curvature-based hatching to mimic pen-and-ink drawing. Users can rotate, zoom, and manipulate hand-lettered labels on interactive models, with strokes dynamically redrawn as the view changes.
Jim Cramer said on 'Mad Money' that markets are overly fixated on AI data-center stocks, urging investors to diversify. He cited GE Aerospace's nearly $12 billion acquisition of Consolidated Precision Products as a boon for Boeing's supply chain, and praised fintech names Robinhood and Affirm along with healthcare firms Hinge Health and Medtronic as overlooked opportunities.
NYU mathematician Tristan Buckmaster alleges OpenAI accelerated its own Navier-Stokes work after learning a rival team using Anthropic's Claude was nearing a solution, and suspects OpenAI's Codex tool may have drawn on his team's draft sessions. Buckmaster says he was offered two credit-sharing arrangements, both of which he rejected, including one that would have excluded his collaborator Levent Alpöge from a paper. OpenAI researcher Sebastien Bubeck and CEO Sam Altman have publicly disputed parts of Buckmaster's account, and OpenAI says it won't seek the $1 million prize tied to the problem.
Android Authority highlighted two standout gadgets from IFA 2026 in Berlin: Blurams' F20C HelioCam Pro, a solar-powered 4K outdoor security camera with no wiring and a free lifetime cloud plan, and Mammotion's LUBA 4 AWD, a robot lawn mower designed to better handle lawn edges. The Blurams camera uses a 12,000mAh battery paired with a detachable solar panel, is IP66-rated for weather resistance, and runs on-device AI detection for people, vehicles, and pets, with footage stored locally or via free cloud playback.
