We explore the life support systems keeping these "wetware" processors alive, the ethical quandaries of computation performed by living cells, and why the messiness of biology might be exactly what AI needs next. From training cycles and reproducibility challenges to the surprising

AISLE has entered the cybersecurity arena with an AI-native Cyber Reasoning System (CRS) built to do what most tools don’t: fix vulnerabilities—fast. While attackers increasingly use AI to weaponize new flaws in roughly five days, most organizations still average ~45 days to remediate critical issues. AISLE’s answer is an autonomous remediation pipeline that identifies, prioritizes, generates patches, and verifies the results against a continuously updated software-stack twin, collapsing

A roundup of the days top technology headlines

Introduction: In today’s episode, we delve into five critical stories shaping our world and technology landscape. First, discover how the student-led Asclepios moon simulation inside a Swiss military bunker offers a neutral alternative in the escalating US-China space race, fostering international scientific cooperation amid geopolitical tensions.

The operation leaned on SEO poisoning to funnel victims searching for “Microsoft Teams” installers to attacker-controlled domains (e.g., teams-download[.]buzz, teams-install[.]run). Once downloaded and launched, the fake Teams setup

Tensions between the U.S. and China are inflamed yet again — with the tech sector in the crossfire. In the latest move, Beijing has threatened to restrict the trade of rare earth magnets and metals, which are critical for making high-tech products, from microchips to smartphones to electric vehicles. On POLITICO Tech, host Steven Overly sits down with Liza Tobin, a geopolitical risk adviser and former China director on the National Security Council, to discuss the shaky state of the U.S.-China

Talos' Vice President Christopher Marshall (the “real Marshall,” much to Joe’s displeasure) joins Hazel, Bill, and Joe for a very real conversation about leading people when the world won’t stop moving.
