The “Godfather of AI” Has a Bizarre Plan to Save Humanity From Evil AI

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-22 12:58:19

Geoffrey Hinton, the pioneering mind behind AI industry-transforming neural networks, who's often referred to as a "godfather of AI," says we need to infuse AI with "maternal instincts" to save humanity from rogue AI. Though his work on neural networks helped to usher in the large language models (LLMs) that dominate Silicon Valley today, these days, Hinton is known for being somewhat of an AI alarmist: he believes that there's a significant chance that superintelligent AI will wipe out humanki

Apple TV+ is having a very good year, with a growing subscriber base and more critical acclaim than ever. But amid what’s otherwise been a slow season for new TV, Apple is currently airing two of its best reviewed shows of the year: Chief of War and Platonic. #1: Chief of War Chief of War premiered on Apple TV+ at the beginning of August as a Jason Momoa extravaganza.

Misunderstood “photophoresis” effect could loft metal sheets to exosphere

Most people would recognize the device in the image above, although they probably wouldn't know it by its formal name: the Crookes radiometer. As its name implies, placing the radiometer in light produces a measurable change: the blades start spinning. Unfortunately, many people misunderstand the physics of its operation (which we'll return to shortly). The actual forces that drive the blades to spin, called photophoresis, can act on a variety of structures as long as they're placed in a suffic

Google Wallet has a new shortcut UI, but I’m not sure it’s an upgrade

TL;DR Google Wallet has gained a new UI when you activate it via a double-tap of the power button. This UI features a transparent design and an animation showing you how to tap your phone. Unfortunately, this UI change means you can no longer launch the full app with a double-tap. Android 16 on Pixel phones lets you double-tap the power button to activate Google Wallet.

Norton VPN review: A VPN that fails to meet Norton's standards

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-25 15:00:37

One thing I need to make clear right from the start: this is a review of Norton VPN (formerly Norton Secure VPN, and briefly Norton Ultra VPN) as a standalone app, not of the VPN feature in the Norton 360 package. They're similar, but Norton VPN has a few more features, including the ability to choose cities as server locations in countries with more than one option. I'll state my opinion up front. Norton VPN isn't a bad service, but it's not good enough to get ahead of its direct competitors.

Tesla Is Making a Move in New York City That Regulators Absolutely Hate

Tesla is coming in hot in New York City and regulators, legislators and consumers are already pushing back. The electric car company’s latest foray into regulator wrestling comes via a hiring push for autopilot drivers in NYC, despite holding no permits for that service in the city. Given that Tesla has already spent years fighting federal probes, civil and criminal lawsuits and a host of scrutiny from everyone from the SEC to local politicians, its new push appears to be a further continuation

iOS 26 brings back the iPhone calculator’s clear button

iOS 18 featured a major redesign to the Calculator app, including fancy features like Math Notes. Those changes included adding a back button to the keypad, replacing the traditional C/AC button. This was so frustrating for some, the real hard-core Calculator users I guess, that The Atlantic published an entire column when iOS 18 shipped, decrying the button’s removal. Apple has seemingly taken those complaints onboard. With iOS 26, the Calculator once again has a dedicated C/AC button. Apple

Engineering Breakthrough Opens Door to Cheap Hydrogen Power

As an alternative to fossil fuel combustion, hydrogen fuel cells hold tremendous promise. But they’re also notoriously difficult and expensive to manage, which largely explains why we don’t see them everywhere (or anywhere, for that matter, except for a few initiatives that are “exploring” their efficiency).
