An AI image creator startup left its database unsecured, exposing more than a million images and videos its users had created—the “overwhelming majority” of which depicted nudes and even nude images of children. A US inspector general report released its official determination that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth put military personnel at risk through his negligence in the SignalGate scandal, but recommended only a compliance review and consideration of new regulations. Cloudflare’s CEO Matthew Prince told WIRED onstage at our Big Interview event in San Francisco this week that his company has blocked more than 400 billion AI bot requests for…

And she followed that up with her own unvetted modeling claiming that CDC scientists overestimate the risk of transmission. She ended by presenting a few studies showing declines in blood antibody levels after initial vaccination, which she claimed suggests that the hepatitis B vaccine does not offer lifelong protection, an incorrect takeaway based…
Tim Cain, the legendary developer behind 1997’s seminal RPG Fallout, has withdrawn from his semi-retirement to return to his former haunt, Obsidian Entertainment, as a full-time employee. In a video posted to his popular YouTube channel, Cain explains that he’d moved back to Southern California to rejoin the studio, and is already at work on new projects. Cain’s legacy in video games is deeply enviable. Not only did the dark chocolate-loving developer blast out of the gate with credits on ’90s classics like Stonekeep and Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, but almost immediately hit a home run with his leading role on the…

It’s one of the most memorable scenes in the original Jurassic Park movie: the dinosaur Dilophosaurus spreads the frill around its neck and sprays deadly venom from its jaws.

Sam Welles, who described the Arizonan dinosaur in 1984, identified a structure in the jaw as a potential venom gland, and suggested that its jaws were too fragile to dispatch…

The brothers were federal contractors working for an undisclosed company in Washington, DC, that provides software and services to 45 US agencies. Prosecutors said the men coordinated the crimes and…
