California lawmakers pass AI safety bill SB 53 — but Newsom could still veto

California’s state senate gave final approval early on Saturday morning to a major AI safety bill setting new transparency requirements on large companies. As described by its author, state senator Scott Wiener, SB 53 “requires large AI labs to be transparent about their safety protocols, creates whistleblower protections for [employees] at AI labs & creates a public cloud to expand compute access (CalCompute).” The bill now goes to California Governor Gavin Newsom to sign or veto. He has not

Tesla board chair calls debate over Elon Musk’s $1T pay package ‘a little bit weird’

In Brief With Tesla shareholders set to vote on a proposed 10-year, $1 trillion compensation package for CEO Elon Musk in November, board chair Robyn Denholm spoke to The New York Times to defend what would be the largest pay package in corporate history. Denholm, who was also on the special committee that put the compensation proposal together, argued that Musk needs to be motivated by extraordinary challenges tied to extraordinary compensation. At the same time, she suggested he’s less inter

ChatGPT Goes Completely Haywire If You Ask It to Show You a Seahorse Emoji

There is no seahorse emoji. The Unicode Consortium, which oversees the standardized pictograms that can be transmitted as part of text communications, has yet to add the adorable sea critter to its official emoji dictionary. Frail human minds have sometimes been surprised to learn that fact, in a perfect example of the Mandela Effect, in which people become convinced that they remember something that isn't actually real — like that South African anti-apartheid leader Nelson Mandela died in pris

CEOs Are Obsessed With AI, But Their Pushes to Use It Keep Ending in Disaster

There may be nobody else on Earth more excited about AI than CEOs. Driven by a compulsion to cut overhead costs — and avoid the wrath of similarly AI-fixated shareholders — executive teams across the US can’t wait to force AI onto their workforces, consequences be damned. Corporate executives have become giddy at the thought of automating their workforces, boasting about supposed productivity gains as they lay off human workers, who now face one of the worst job markets in recent history. Even

Heroic Gas Station Clerk Realizes Elderly Women Are Being Scammed at the Bitcoin ATM, Unplugs It to Save Them

One of the core appeals of cryptocurrency — other than providing a get-rich-quick scheme for famous people with huge sway over their followers, like a sitting president or an airheaded influencer — is that it's decentralized and largely unregulated. Of course, that also makes it a breeding ground for fraud. Just ask Boise, Idaho gas station clerk Avalon Hardy. As Inc reports, she ended up repeatedly intervening to stop old ladies from getting ripped off by using the establishment's Bitcoin ATM

My art skills peaked in kindergarten but my portable projector had me covered

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority To set the stage, my artistic ability falls somewhere between a toddler with a crayon and the least helpful player on your Pictionary team. So when faced with the prospect of hand-painting a birthday banner, I was dubious, though still committed. Like any modern adult, I turned to tech, and while projectors may not have been designed for amateur crafters, they’re surprisingly perfect for the job.

This real-life Google hack on my Pixel is why I could never switch to an iPhone

Paul Jones / Android Authority With the iPhone 17 finally getting some long overdue upgrades like a larger and high-refresh rate display, I’ve found myself toying with the idea of switching ecosystems over the past couple of days. It also doesn’t help that Google stumbled out of the gate with the recent Pixel 10 launch. Thanks to the latter’s unexpectedly small performance and battery life gains, I see no compelling reason to upgrade from my Pixel 8. But after mulling the decision over, I came

Here are three reasons you shouldn’t quite consider Apple Watch Series 11

Apple’s latest generation Apple Watch model, the Series 11, was just unveiled on Tuesday. While at first glance, it seemed like a relatively decent upgrade – it turns out that there’s some details that makes it less appealing than it might’ve initially seemed.

Snapchat rolls out Group Streaks and 'Infinite Retention' for chats

Does All Semiconductor Manufacturing Depend on Spruce Pine Quartz? (2024)

Here’s an idea you see spreading across the internet every so often: that all semiconductor and solar PV manufacturing depends on extremely pure quartz from the town of Spruce Pine, North Carolina. This quartz is used to make the crucibles which hold the molten silicon as it gets turned into silicon ingots, which are then cut into wafers and made into chips. The quartz needs to be very pure to prevent impurities from seeping into the silicon, and Spruce Pine is where this very pure quartz comes

An Annual Blast of Pacific Cold Water Did Not Occur, Alarming Scientists

Each year between January and April, a blob of cold water rises from the depths of the Gulf of Panama to the surface, playing an essential role in supporting marine life in the region. But this year, it never arrived. “It came as a surprise,” said Ralf Schiebel, a paleoceanographer at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry who studies the region. “We’ve never seen something like this before.” The blob is as much as 10 degrees Celsius colder than the surface water. In Fahrenheit terms, the wate

The Value of Bringing a Telephoto Lens

Magical Systems Thinking

The systems that enable modern life share a common origin. The water supply, the internet, the international supply chains bringing us cheap goods: each began life as a simple, working system. The first electric grid was no more than a handful of electric lamps hooked up to a water wheel in Godalming, England, in 1881. It then took successive decades of tinkering and iteration by thousands of very smart people to scale these systems to the advanced state we enjoy today. At no point did a single

Tether Taps Trump’s Former Crypto Advisor to Lead US Operations

In an effort to solidify itself as the go-to company in the cryptocurrency space for stablecoins, Tether is tapping Bo Hines, the former Executive Director of Donald Trump’s White House Crypto Council to lead its operations in the United States, including efforts to launch a new stablecoin called USAT that will comply with new, Trump-backed regulations, according to CNBC.
