Under Trump, Democrats have been forced to become the adult in the room. Overcompensating is even worse.

Researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have developed a novel artificial intelligence model inspired by neural oscillations in the brain, with the goal of significantly advancing how machine learning algorithms handle long sequences of data.AI often struggles with analyzing complex information that unfolds over long periods of time, such as climate trends, biological signals, or financial data. One new type of AI model, called “state-space models,” has been designed specifically to understand these sequential patterns more effectively. However, existing state-space models often face challenges — they can become unstable or require a significant amount of computational…

An employee at Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI leaked a private key on GitHub that for the past two months could have allowed anyone to query private xAI large language models (LLMs) which appear to have been custom made for working with internal data from Musk’s companies, including SpaceX, Tesla and Twitter/X, KrebsOnSecurity has learned.

While at the MIT Bitcoin Expo last month I was able to sit down with Bitcoin Core developer Sjors Provoost.  Sjors is a physicist turned Bitcoin developer, which believe it or not is actually a pretty common phenomenon. He began contributing to Bitcoin Core in 2017, a very turbulent time during which the activation of Segregated Witness was playing out  in the culmination of the block size wars with the User Activated Softfork and the New York Agreement.  He is also the co-host of Bitcoin, Explained, a podcast done with Aaron van Wirdum, the current Editor in Chief of Bitcoin…

The UK’s financial regulator is exploring a ban on using credit cards to buy cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, as part of a wider crackdown on high-risk retail crypto investing. In a discussion paper published on Friday, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) warned that borrowing to invest in cryptoassets could lead consumers into unsustainable debt. The proposed restriction would prevent firms from accepting credit cards or credit lines from e-money providers for crypto purchases. “We are exploring whether it would be appropriate to restrict firms from accepting credit as a means for consumers to buy cryptoassets,” the regulator stated. “We are considering…
