From time to time, people with similar political priorities encouraged him to run for office. He brushed such chatter aside, having become disillusioned with government in the late 1970s, when he was elected commissioner of the Provo Canyon sewer district.

FBI Carelessly Incinerates Large Amount of Meth, Sending Workers to Hospital

You work for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and you're sitting on two pounds of seized methamphetamines that you need to get rid of. So what do you do? Burn it all in a pet shelter smack-dab in the middle of town, of course. It sounds beyond parody, but these are the events that played out in Billings, Montana, last Wednesday.

After AI Led to Layoffs, Coders Are Being Hired to Fix ‘Vibe-Coded’ Screwups

The generative AI industry has promised to “disrupt” society, and on that front, it can be said to have succeeded. AI has certainly disrupted many parts of society, including education, social media, and politics. Most of all, it seems to have disrupted the tech industry itself, where what was once a profitable career (software development) increasingly seems to be more of a precarious one, thanks to the rise of so-called “vibe coding”—a form of AI-assisted software development that requires les

Representatives from member states will meet on Friday to consider legislation critics call Chat Control, aka "laying down rules to prevent and combat child sexual abuse," which seeks to require ISPs or messaging app providers to scan user content or backdoor encryption so that intelligence agencies can do it themselves.

Geoffrey Hinton, long considered a "godfather of AI" and who won the Nobel Prize in Physics last year, has a complicated relationship with the tech he pioneered at Google many years ago. He's long argued that AI poses an existential risk to humanity, and signed a letter earlier this year calling on OpenAI not to betray its non-profit roots. Even in his own personal life, it sounds like Hinton can't escape the tech. In an interview with the Financial Times, the 77-year-old revealed that his ex-

A Single Typo in Your Medical Records Can Make Your AI Doctor Go Dangerously Haywire

A single typo, formatting error, or slang word makes an AI more likely to tell a patient they're not sick or don't need to seek medical care. That's what MIT researchers found in a June study currently awaiting peer review, which we covered previously.
