The series of hacks are being carried out by financially motivated threat actors out to steal data in hopes of selling it back to the targets at sky-high pr

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-07 02:32:24

Some stone tools found near a river on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi suggest that the first hominins had reached the islands by at least 1.04 million years ago. That's around the same time that the ancestors of the infamously diminutive “Hobbits” may have reached the island of Flores. Archaeologist Budianto Hakim of Indonesia’s National Research and Innovation Agency and his colleagues were the ones who recently unearthed the tools from a site on Sulawesi.

OpenAI launches new GPT-5 model for all ChatGPT users

Instead of outright refusing to answer users' questions if they are potentially risky, GPT-5 will use "safe completions," OpenAI said.
