In the early 80's in the US, a popular DIY electronics magazine had a book of the month club that I loved. Most were small and leather bound hardback with topics like: make your own hydrophone; augmented reality (required a full room and a boom arm, sadly); an LCD model rocket launcher ignition; computer vision; lots and lots of robots.

I recall saying to one of my colleagues at Atari way back in 1982 that I wanted to make a game that would be genuine art. A year later I built a game that was my first experiment in that direction: Gossip. It was a ridiculously simple game in which a player attempted to win favor in a group by calling people and telling them how much you liked or disliked some third party. The underlying concept was that “people like people who like people they like.” For some reason, many players had problems a

June 30, 2025 5 minute read Context Engineering is new term gaining traction in the AI world. The conversation is shifting from "prompt engineering" to a broader, more powerful concept: Context Engineering. Tobi Lutke describes it as "the art of providing all the context for the task to be plausibly solvable by the LLM.” and he is right.

This Survey Asked Neuroscientists If Memories Can Be Extracted From the Dead. Here’s What They Said

gizmodo.com Natalia Mesa 2026-02-21 06:20:54

The allure and terror of transferring your consciousness to a computer has long been fodder for cyberpunk novels and billionaire-backed immortality startups. But a substantial chunk of neuroscientists think it might be possible to extract memories from a preserved brain and store those memories inside a computer, according to a new study. The study, published in the journal PLOS One, suggests that most neuroscientists believe that memory has a physical basis and, on average, give a 40% probabil

Identities of More Than 80 Americans Stolen for North Korean IT Worker Scams

wired.com Andy Greenberg 2026-02-21 11:00:39

For years, the North Korean government has found a burgeoning source of sanctions-evading revenue by tasking its citizens with secretly applying for remote tech jobs in the West. A newly revealed takedown operation by American law enforcement makes clear just how much of the infrastructure used to pull off those schemes has been based in the United States—and just how many Americans' identities were stolen by the North Korean impersonators to carry them out.

Half a million Spotify users are unknowingly grooving to an AI-generated band

Making art used to be a uniquely human endeavor, but machines have learned to distill human creativity with generative AI. Whether that content counts as "art" depends on who you ask, but Spotify doesn't discriminate.
