Internet collapses across Iran, say web monitoring firms

techcrunch.com Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai 2026-03-21 11:24:20

Internet connectivity in Iran almost completely disappeared on Wednesday, according to web monitoring firms, as war with Israel enters its sixth day. NetBlocks, a firm that tracks internet access across the world, wrote on X that Iran is “now in the midst of a near-total national internet blackout.” The firm’s assessment was confirmed by other internet-monitoring organizations. Data collected by IODA, which is a system that “monitors the Internet infrastructure connectivity in near-real time,

The facility marks the latest step in Zoox’s evolution out of the development phase.

Demystifying Multi-Modal AI

Artificial Intelligence has come a long way in understanding language, recognizing images, and interpreting sound—but what happens when it can do all of that at once? That’s where Multi-Modal AI steps in: a new frontier where machines learn to process and combine information from different types of input—like text, images, audio, and video—just as humans do. What Is Multi-Modal AI? Multi-modal AI refers to systems that can understand and reason across multiple forms of data. For example, a sin

Companies That Replaced With Humans With AI Are Realizing Their Mistake

futurism.com Unknown 2026-03-21 16:10:39

According to tech billionaire and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, 2025 was supposed to be the year "when AI agents will work." Despite widespread hype, so-called "AI agents" — a software product that's supposed to complete human-level tasks autonomously — have yet to live up to their name. As of April, even the best AI agent could only finish 24 percent of the jobs assigned to it. Still, that didn't stop business executives from swarming to the software like flies to roadside carrion, gutting entire dep

Dotemu’s CEO wants to bring back classic games the right way

I grew up with arcade beat-em-ups like Konami’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time and X-Men. It was a genre I loved, so I was sad to see it diminish in relevance. Thankfully, beat-em-ups have had a revival, thanks in part to publishers like Dotemu and developers like Tribute Games. The two teamed up for 2022’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, a worthy successor to Turtles in Time. Now, they’re working on Marvel Cosmic Invasion.

Bogong Moths Are First Bugs Known to Use Stars for Long-Distance Travel

Every spring in the Southern Hemisphere, Bogong moths migrate up to 621 miles (1,000 kilometers) from southeast Australia to spend the summer in cool caves in the Australian Alps. At the beginning of the fall, they fly back to their breeding grounds and die. Each moth undertakes the two-way journey only once in its life—so how does it know where it’s going?
