What just happened? Just a year after its founding, cybersecurity startup Xbow has risen to the top of the HackerOne leaderboard, a platform that ranks the world's most effective bug hunters by the number and severity of vulnerabilities they uncover for major companies. This marks the first time an artificial intelligence system has claimed the number one spot, outpacing thousands of human ethical hackers and security researchers who have traditionally dominated the field.

New data highlights the race to build more empathetic language models

techcrunch.com Russell Brandom 2026-04-09 00:03:01

Measuring AI progress has usually meant testing scientific knowledge or logical reasoning – but while the major benchmarks still focus on left-brain logic skills, there’s been a quiet push within AI companies to make models more emotionally intelligent. As foundation models compete on soft measures like user preference and “feeling the AGI,” having a good command of human emotions may be more important than hard analytic skills. One sign of that focus came on Friday, when prominent open-source

Robots are transforming warehouse automation and ending back-breaking truck loading

When Humans Learned to Live Everywhere

Geography is one of the things that sets apart modern humans. Our closest living relatives — chimpanzees and bonobos — are confined to a belt of Central African forests. But humans have spread across every continent, even remote islands. Our species can thrive not only in forests, but in grasslands, swamps, deserts and just about every other ecosystem dry land has to offer. In a study published on Wednesday, scientists pinpoint the origin of our extraordinary adaptability: Africa, about 70,000

New dating for White Sands footprints confirms controversial theory

The 2009 discovery of footprints (human and animal) left behind in layers of clay and silt at New Mexico’s White Sands National Park sparked a contentious debate about when, exactly, human cultures first developed in North America. Until about a decade ago, it seemed as if the first Americans arrived near the end of the last Ice Age and were part of the Clovis culture, named for the distinctive projectile points they left behind near what’s now Clovis, New Mexico.
