techspot.com Cal Jeffrey 2025-11-18 00:47:00

In a nutshell: Bethesda has remained mostly radio silent regarding The Elder Scrolls 6 development since announcing the project in 2018. The silence ended on Monday when the studio revealed it would be developing an NPC based on the winner of an auction to benefit charity. In a partnership with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Bethesda has agreed to "immortalize" one fan as an NPC in The Elder Scrolls 6. As part of a charity event, the chance isn't free.

Microsoft deploys new state of matter in its first quantum computing chip

cnbc.com Jordan Novet 2025-11-18 03:01:00

Microsoft on Wednesday announced Majorana 1, its first quantum computing chip. The achievement comes after the company spent nearly two decades of research in the field, but Microsoft claims that building Majorana 1 required that it create an entirely new state of matter, which it is referring to as a topological state. Microsoft's quantum chip employs eight topological qubits using indium arsenide, which is a semiconductor, and aluminum, which is a superconductor. "The difficulty of developi

Researchers Find Elon Musk's New Grok AI Is Extremely Vulnerable to Hacking

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-18 00:28:54

Researchers at the AI security company Adversa AI have found that Grok 3, the latest model released by Elon Musk's startup xAI this week, is a cybersecurity disaster waiting to happen. The team found that the model is extremely vulnerable to "simple jailbreaks," which could be used by bad actors to "reveal how to seduce kids, dispose of bodies, extract DMT, and, of course, build a bomb," according to Adversa CEO and cofounder Alex Polyakov.

According to NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, near-Earth asteroid 2024 YR4 now has a 3.1 percent chance of colliding with our planet on December 22, 2032.

Worse yet, the space agency suggests the asteroid could hit densely populated areas of our planet — if it were to make an impact just un
