$200 USB cable transforms into autonomous AI hacker
Researchers from Palisade Research created a new cybersecurity threat. A modified USB cable that becomes a conduit for autonomous AI into computer systems. The $200 device contains a programmable microchip that loads a digital agent directly onto the target machine.
The operating principle impresses with its efficiency. You plug in the cable, and it automatically launches AI infiltration. Which analyzes the system and sends collected information to a remote server with large language model like GPT-4. Also receives instructions and autonomously executes hacking actions.
The agent can browse files, study network connections, steal passwords and personal data, while spreading through all available channels. It’s terrifying that one such operation costs less than $1. Project development required only one person-week.
The fundamental difference from traditional cyber attack methods lies in combining automated script speed with human hacker adaptability. Which potentially opens an era of democratized hacking accessible to practically everyone.
I don’t understand why they even made this! This is a real demon from a USB cable.

UBTech will send Walker S2 robots to serve on China's border for $37 million
Chinese company UBTech won a contract for $37 million. And will send humanoid robots Walker S2 to serve on China's border with Vietnam. South China Morning Post reports that the robots will interact with tourists and staff, perform logistics operations, inspect cargo and patrol the area. And characteristically — they can independently change their battery.
AI chatbots generate content that exacerbates eating disorders
A joint study by Stanford University and the Center for Democracy and Technology showed a disturbing picture. Chatbots with artificial intelligence pose a serious risk to people with eating disorders. Scientists warn that neural networks hand out harmful advice about diets. They suggest ways to hide the disorder and generate "inspiring weight loss content" that worsens the problem.
OpenAGI released the Lux model that overtakes Google and OpenAI
Startup OpenAGI released the Lux model for computer control and claims this is a breakthrough. According to benchmarks, the model overtakes analogues from Google, OpenAI and Anthropic by a whole generation. Moreover, it works faster. About 1 second per step instead of 3 seconds for competitors. And 10 times cheaper in cost per processing 1 token.
