San Francisco, the United States: The sidewalk outside Majed Zeidan’s grocery store in San Francisco’s Mission District has stayed filled with flowers, candles, memorials and pictures since his cat was crushed under a Waymo in late October. A month later, a Waymo reportedly crushed a dog.Amid the pictures of the cat, a visitor had placed a poster that said, “save the cat, kill the car”. That’s when Zeidan knew Kit Kat, his bodega cat, had become the face of the simmering discontent over San Francisco’s growing number of self-driving cars.Recommended Stories list of 4 itemsend of listTwo years since it…

Instacart has deployed an embedded checkout experience within ChatGPT through the emerging Agentic Commerce Protocol.With the deployment, the company is the first partner to launch an app on ChatGPT that offers a complete shopping cycle – from query to payment – without requiring the user to leave the conversation interface.Operationalising agentic commerceThe integration fixes a broken link in conversational commerce: the “handoff”. Historically, AI models could suggest products or generate meal plans, but the execution phase required deep-linking out to a separate application or website, often resulting in cart abandonment.Under this new deployment, users can interact with the AI for…

Since the surge in AI adoption over the last couple of months, it’s become clear there isn’t enough computational horsepower to go around (something that has become painfully obvious as cloud providers have accrued months-long waitlists for high-end GPU instances). Unlike the brief cryptocurrency-mining GPU craze a few years ago, today’s crunch is driven by real demand from AI research and deployments.For the sake of perspective, Amazon Web Services has been charging about $98 per hour for an 8-GPU server loaded with Nvidia’s top-tier H100 chips, while some decentralised GPU platforms offer comparable hardware for as little as $3 an…

Substitute Williot Swedberg scores brace to defeat Real Madrid, who ended game with nine players after two red cards.Real Madrid suffered a shock 2-0 loss and finished with nine men against Celta Vigo in their La Liga clash after Williot Swedberg scored an audacious goal with his heel and a second in stoppage time to leave the hosts four points off leaders Barcelona.Swedish substitute Swedberg cleverly diverted a cross from Bryan Zaragoza past Thibaut Courtois in the 53rd minute to put Celta ahead, and had an easy finish three minutes into added time, going around the goalkeeper to wrap up…

For years, cybersecurity experts debated when – not if – artificial intelligence would cross the threshold from advisor to autonomous attacker. That theoretical milestone has arrived.Anthropic’s recent investigation into a Chinese state-sponsored operation has documented [PDF] the first case of AI-orchestrated cyber attacks executing at scale with minimal human oversight, altering what enterprises must prepare for in the threat landscape ahead.The campaign, attributed to a group Anthropic designates as GTG-1002, represents what security researchers have long warned about but never actually witnessed in the wild: an AI system autonomously conducting nearly every phase of cyber intrusion – from initial reconnaissance…

AI is moving deeper into the physical world, and EY is laying out a more structured way for companies to work with robots, drones, and other smart devices. The organisation is introducing a physical AI platform built with NVIDIA tools, opening a new EY.ai Lab in Georgia, and adding new leadership to guide its work in this field.The platform uses NVIDIA Omniverse libraries, NVIDIA Isaac, and NVIDIA AI Enterprise software. EY says the setup gives organisations a clearer way to plan, test, and manage AI systems that operate in real environments, from factory robots to drones and edge devices.Omniverse libraries…

Negotiations fail to yield progress, while Moscow launches over 700 drones and missiles across Ukrainian territoryThree days of negotiations between Ukrainian and United States officials have ended without a breakthrough, as Russia launched one of its largest aerial assaults of the war on Ukrainian cities and infrastructure.The talks in Florida concluded on Saturday, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy describing a phone call with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner as “substantive”, though both sides acknowledged that meaningful progress hinged entirely on Moscow’s willingness to pursue genuine peace.Recommended Stories list of 3 itemsend of listThe impasse underscores the gulf between…

Amazon Web Services has scored another major win for its custom AWS Trainium accelerators after striking a deal with AI video startup Decart. The partnership will see Decart optimise its flagship Lucy model on AWS Trainium3 to support real-time video generation, and highlight the growing popularity of AI accelerators over Nvidia’s graphics processing units.Decart is essentially going all-in on AWS, and as part of the deal, the company will also make its models available through the Amazon Bedrock platform. Developers can integrate Decart’s real-time video generation capabilities into almost any cloud application without worrying about underlying infrastructure.The distribution through Bedrock…
