Video footage went viral on social media earlier this summer after an intoxicated woman was seen on a Southwest Airlines flight pulling another woman’s hair and shouting abusive things before being subdued and arrested. Now the woman who was attacked has filed a lawsuit against her attacker and named Southwest as a co-defendant, partially blaming the airline’s open seating policy for the confrontation.

Anthropic’s auto-clicking AI Chrome extension raises browser-hijacking concerns

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-30 20:17:29

As AI assistants become capable of controlling web browsers, a new security challenge has emerged: users must now trust that every website they visit won't try to hijack their AI agent with hidden malicious instructions. Experts voiced concerns about this emerging threat this week after testing from a leading AI chatbot vendor revealed that AI browser agents can be successfully tricked into harmful actions nearly a quarter of the time.

Marshall Now Has a Big Party Speaker That’s Perfect for Pretending You’re in a Band

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-10-31 04:31:56

Being in a band is hard. You’ve got to learn an instrument (time-consuming), organize your friends (a nightmare), and then harass everyone on Instagram to come out to your show on a Tuesday at 9:30 pm at least twice a month? Forget about it. That being said, looking like you’re in a band is still hella cool, and what better way to do that than carry around a huge party speaker that looks akin to a Marshall Stack?

Marshall's first party speaker unsurprisingly looks like a guitar amp

Marshall just introduced its very first party speaker, the Bromley 750. It looks a whole lot like a guitar amp, which makes sense given the company's pedigree. Also, instrument amps are basically just big speakers anyways. This Bluetooth speaker includes a replaceable battery that allows for more than 40 hours of use before requiring a charge. It produces 360-degree stereophonic sound that Marshall says will "find its way through any crowd." It also features a "sound character knob" that change

Germany-based search engine and browser nonprofit Ecosia is the latest party to make an offer for Google's Chrome. Questions about Chrome's fate have been swirling since the news that the Department of Justice would push for Google to sell the browser after the ruling that the company's search engine business constituted a monopoly.

Ecosia has offered to take ‘stewardship’ of Chrome. And it’s not a bad idea.

techcrunch.com Julie Bort 2025-11-08 21:02:47

“It’s not absurd, right?” Christian Kroll, CEO of Berlin-based nonprofit search engine Ecosia, says of his company’s unsolicited request to be granted a 10-year “stewardship” of Google’s Chrome browser, instead of forcing Google to sell it to a competitor. His idea is most definitely absurd, but also clever. On Thursday, Ecosia announced it had sent a proposal regarding Chrome to Google and to U.S. Judge Amit Mehta.

How Much Energy Do Your AI Prompts Consume? Google Just Shared Its Gemini Numbers

The explosion of AI tools worldwide is increasing exponentially, but the companies that make these tools often don't express their environmental impact in detail. Google has just released a technical paper detailing measurements for energy, emissions and water use of its Gemini AI prompts. The impact of a single prompt is, it says, minuscule.

Weaponizing image scaling against production AI systems

Picture this: you send a seemingly harmless image to an LLM and suddenly it exfiltrates all of your user data. By delivering a multi-modal prompt injection not visible to the user, we achieved data exfiltration on systems including the Google Gemini CLI. This attack works because AI systems often scale down large images before sending them to the model: when scaled, these images can reveal prompt injections that are not visible at full resolution.
