AI agents now demand sweeping access to personal emails, calendars, messages, and even take screenshots every few seconds to function, creating unprecedented privacy risks as tech companies build detailed user profiles while security experts warn of potential data leaks and unverifiable information handling.
Researchers achieve groundbreaking quantum teleportation by successfully transferring quantum information 270 meters between quantum dots using three photons, marking a major milestone toward building secure global quantum internet networks.
Creative professionals and skilled workers are deliberately rejecting AI tools for their core expertise areas like art, writing, and coding, saying artificial intelligence removes joy from creative work and proves unreliable for tasks requiring precision, accuracy, or genuine human connection.
A staggering 95% of companies report zero returns on $40 billion in AI investments as organizations treat artificial intelligence like plug-and-play software instead of redesigning workflows, with only 5% of projects reaching production while back-office automation delivers the highest returns.
Data teams are consolidating fragmented tool stacks into unified internal platforms while embracing event-driven architectures for real-time processing, as AI systems evolve from development helpers to operational managers that monitor and optimize data workflows with built-in quality enforcement.
GitLab's former CEO Sid Sijbrandij launches Kilo Code's App Builder, a revolutionary tool that generates functional apps in minutes with usage-based pricing, challenging heavily-funded competitors like Lovable despite having only $8 million in seed funding versus their $500+ million war chest.
Eight legacy programming languages including COBOL, Perl, Ada, Fortran, C/C++, Visual Basic, Pascal, and Python continue dominating modern software development as major corporations avoid rewriting critical systems that could introduce costly bugs, with these languages powering everything from banking operations to defense systems.
New research reveals people consistently choose AI assistance over their own problem-solving abilities even when they can handle tasks independently, creating 'reminder bias' that undermines analytical thinking skills and may prevent crucial neural pathway development, with intelligent individuals being most vulnerable to this cognitive decline.
PostgreSQL's new BM25 search algorithm extension threatens to eliminate Elasticsearch for most applications by fixing keyword stuffing and relevance ranking issues while enabling hybrid search that combines exact keyword matching with AI-powered semantic understanding in a single database.
New security benchmark reveals major AI models including GPT and Gemini fail most jailbreak tests with scores as low as 40%, while Anthropic's Claude dominates safety rankings with 75-80% success rates, exposing widespread vulnerabilities across the industry despite advances in model size and capability.
