When to choose a bare-metal cloud

I did something last week that I had not done for a while. I recommended a bare-metal cloud service to a client. They had a particular purpose, and it was the right technology to solve the problem. In a typical public cloud environment, most users interact with virtual machines, which are operating system instances running on top of physical hardware. These VMs are separated from one another through a hypervisor, which allows multiple users to share the same hardware securely and efficiently. However, this abstraction introduces performance overhead and limits user control over the server’s physical resources. Bare-metal cloud services,

AI Breakthrough: Solving Million-Step Math Problems

Artificial intelligence systems have made breakthrough after breakthrough mastering chess, in which games typically last about 40 moves. Now, to help solve the world’s toughest math problems, researchers have developed a new AI model that finds complex solutions requiring thousands to millions of steps. They suggest the new algorithms they built for the task might one day help detect events such as hurricanes and financial crashes that are rare but have disastrous impacts when they do happen. Scientists are increasingly exploring how well AI can solve math problems. For example, Google DeepMind’s AlphaProof performed as well as a silver medalist

How Trump’s Tariffs Could Drive Up Tech Prices

Image: Gage Skidmore/Flickr/Creative Commons President Donald Trump has imposed tariffs that could reshape the North American tech landscape, adding $50 billion in new costs for imports from Canada and Mexico alone. The tariffs — 25% on all imports from Canada and Mexico, 10% on Chinese goods, and 25% on European Union tech components like semiconductors — are set to disrupt supply chains, increase consumer prices, and push major tech firms toward domestic production. With 80% of U.S. foundry capacity for key semiconductor sizes currently reliant on China and Taiwan, experts predict ripple effects across the entire tech sector, impacting everything

Paralyzed man moves robotic arm with his thoughts

Researchers at UC San Francisco have enabled a man who is paralyzed to control a robotic arm through a device that relays signals from his brain to a computer. He was able to grasp, move and drop objects just by imagining himself performing the actions. The device, known as a brain-computer interface (BCI), worked for a record 7 months without needing to be adjusted. Until now, such devices have only worked for a day or two. The BCI relies on an AI model that can adjust to the small changes that take place in the brain as a person repeats

DOGE Has Deployed Its GSAi Custom Chatbot for 1,500 Federal Workers

Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency has deployed a proprietary chatbot called GSAi to 1,500 federal workers at the General Services Administration, WIRED has confirmed. The move to automate tasks previously done by humans comes as DOGE continues its purge of the federal workforce. GSAi is meant to support “general” tasks, similar to commercial tools like ChatGPT or Anthropic’s Claude. It is tailored in a way that makes it safe for government use, a GSA worker tells WIRED. The DOGE team hopes to eventually use it to analyze contract and procurement data, WIRED previously reported. “What is the larger

The Woman Accused of Running a Murderous Cult Linked to Roko’s Basilisk Faked Her Own Death Before “Coming Back to Life”

The leader of an alleged cult informed by the murderous hypothetical artificial superintelligence of “Roko’s Basilisk” once faked her death in the months before the first of several killings that have been linked to her followers. As The Guardian notes, Jack “Ziz” LaSota — the alleged leader of the “Zizians,” a militantly vegan group of computer scientists who have now been linked to six deaths in three states — was believed to be dead after her sister and friend claimed that she’d fallen from her sailboat in the San Francisco Bay. After a 30-hour search that involved the Coast Guard and multiple

How government and industry can team up to make the technology safer without hindering innovation

Imagine a not-too-distant future where you let an intelligent robot manage your finances. It knows everything about you. It follows your moves, analyzes markets, adapts to your goals and invests faster and smarter than you can. Your investments soar. But then one day, you wake up to a nightmare: Your savings have been transferred to a rogue state, and they’re gone. You seek remedies and justice but find none. Who’s to blame? The robot’s developer? The artificial intelligence company behind the robot’s “brain”? The bank that approved the transactions? Lawsuits fly, fingers point, and your lawyer searches for precedents, but

AI ‘wingmen’ bots to write profiles and flirt on dating apps | Dating

AI bots will soon be rolled out on dating apps to flirt with people, craft messages on users’ behalf and write their profiles for them. But depending on artificial intelligence to foster budding relationships risks eroding what little human authenticity is left on dating platforms, experts have warned. Match Group, the technology company with the world’s largest portfolio of dating platforms, including Tinder and Hinge, has announced it is increasing investment in AI, with new products due this month. AI bots will be used to help users choose which photographs will be most popular, write messages to people and provide

Bengaluru Might Become the Biggest Victim of AI

For the past few decades, Bengaluru has been the hub of India’s tech industry, drawing people from all corners of the country into the city. The city’s thriving IT, GCC, and startup ecosystem makes it the Silicon Valley of the East. The rise of AI has only accelerated this, as AI engineers build products and startups from the comfort of their apartments or coffee shops. Some even host investor meetups at tea stalls and successfully raise funding. However, everything comes at a cost. What was once referred to as the outsourcing hub of the world, with US companies often referring
