9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-03-20 03:19:20

Yesterday evening, TechCrunch reported on a series of new legal filings made by OpenAI in the iyO trademark lawsuit that led to the scrubbing of the ‘io’ brand on OpenAI’s website. The documents, filed by OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman as well as ex-Apple employees Evans Hankey, Tang Tan, and Marwan Rammah (now all at io Products), reveal as much about the company’s ambitions as they do about what it hopes to keep under wraps. Here are a few key takeaways. 1: iyO tried to hire Evans Hankey In 2022,

AI Agents Are Getting Better at Writing Code—and Hacking It as Well

wired.com Will Knight 2026-03-21 09:58:50

The latest artificial intelligence models are not only remarkably good at software engineering—new research shows they are getting ever-better at finding bugs in software, too. AI researchers at UC Berkeley tested how well the latest AI models and agents could find vulnerabilities in 188 large open source codebases. Using a new benchmark called CyberGym, the AI models identified 17 new bugs including 15 previously unknown, or “zero-day,” ones. “Many of these vulnerabilities are critical,” says

Microplastics are the latest hidden hazard worry for the world -- they've even been found in chewing gum.

In addition to that, a new study published in Chemistry for Life tested 10 chewing gum brands and found every single one contained microplastics. This was found to be the case with both natural and synthetic varieties. A gram of gum releases around 100 microplastics on average, with
