As long as there has been AI, there have been people sounding alarms about what it might do to us: rogue superintelligence, mass unemployment, or environmental ruin. But another threat entirely—that of kids forming unhealthy bonds with AI—is pulling AI safety out of the academic fringe and into regulators’ crosshairs. This has been bubbling for a while. Two high-profile lawsuits filed in the last year, against Character.AI and OpenAI, allege that their models contributed to the suicides of two

Ahead of its formal debut in the near future, Xiaomi is showing off the new Xiaomi 17 Pro, which has an iPhone-like camera bar on the back, but uses that real estate for a rear display. In a post on Weibo, Xiaomi shares a brief video that shows the Xiaomi 17 Pro. At first, the phone is shown with a sectioned design that features a section along the top that includes the cameras. It’s not quite a Pixel-like “Camera Bar,” but rather more similar to Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro redesign. The twist, thou

If We Want Bigger Wind Turbines, We're Gonna Need Bigger Airplanes

The world’s largest airplane, when it’s built, will stretch more than a football field from tip to tail. Sixty percent longer than the biggest existing aircraft, with 12 times as much cargo space as a 747, the behemoth will look like an oil tanker that’s sprouted wings—aeronautical engineering at a preposterous scale.

Denmark close to wiping out cancer-causing HPV strains after vaccine roll-out

Denmark has effectively eliminated infections with the two biggest cancer-causing strains of human papillomavirus (HPV) since the vaccine was introduced in 2008, data suggests.

Around 90% of an Earthquake’s Energy Doesn’t Do What You Think It Does

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-09-28 16:30:30

Earthquakes can be deadly and disastrous. But what we feel may constitute a tiny sliver of an earthquake’s destructive energy, according to a new experiment. In a recent AGU Advances paper, researchers describe how they created “lab quakes,” or miniature versions of natural earthquakes created in a controlled laboratory. Doing so allowed the team to derive a complete energy budget for the quakes, a “simplified analog” of real-life earthquakes, they reported in the paper. Surprisingly, they fou

How Container Filesystem Works: Building a Docker-Like Container from Scratch

One of the superpowers of containers is their isolated filesystem view - from inside a container it can look like a full Linux distro, often different from the host. Run docker run nginx , and Nginx lands in its familiar Debian userspace no matter what Linux flavor your host runs. But how is that illusion built?
