IEEE 3152: A Standard for Transparent Human and Machine Agency Identification

This poses serious questions about trust, security, and social cohesion, especially in high-impact domains like healthcare, finance, and media. IEEE 3152—officially titled Standard for Transparent Human and Machine Agency Identification — addresses t

More than 220 Bandicoot robots have been deployed in India, says Vipin Govind, head of marketing and communications at Genrobotics. The company’s reach, he says, enables “even resource-constrained municipalities” to deploy the technology effectively. Despite these technological options, a 2021 report by the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment found that there are still more than 58,000 manual scavengers across India. Independent observers say the numbers are even higher. The machine that J

Voice recording on Nothing Phone 3’s Essential Space gets a due upgrade

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Nothing has updated the voice recorder functionality in Essential Space.

Internet Access Providers Aren't Bound by DMCA Unmasking Subpoenas–In Re Cox

The DMCA online safe harbor is a notice-and-takedown scheme. Web hosts aren’t liable for copyright-infringing third-party uploads unless and until the copyright owner submits a proper takedown notice to the host, at which point the web host can remain legally protected by expeditiously removing the targeted item. By taking web hosts out of the liability chain, the DMCA nominally keeps any infringement disputes being between the uploader and the copyright owner. To help copyright owners sue anon

A Dark Money Group Is Secretly Funding High-Profile Democratic Influencers

Anthropic reaches a settlement over authors' class-action piracy lawsuit

Anthropic has settled a class-action lawsuit brought by a group of authors for an undisclosed sum. The move means the company will avoid a potentially more costly ruling if the case regarding its use of copyright materials to train artificial intelligence tools had moved forward. In June, Judge William Alsup handed down a mixed result in the case, ruling that Anthropic's move to train LLMs on copyrighted materials constituted fair use. However the company's illegal and unpaid acquisition of tho

2025 Mazda MX-5 RF review: Buy the soft top; the hardtop sucks

In the golden days of the Internet, before dysfunctional social media, when forums ruled the roost and people formed communities, someone looking for car advice would invariably be told, more than once, "Just get a Miata." For 35 years, the Miata, or MX-5 as it's better known globally, has stuck to the same simple recipe: two seats and a four-cylinder engine in front that drives the rear wheels behind, wrapped in about as small of a body as is possible while still meeting international crash reg
