Cheap, accessible models now produce weaponized deepfakes—from sexually explicit images to political propaganda—that look startlingly real. They’re already inciting violence, changing minds, and sowing mistrust, with women and marginalized groups disproportionately affected. Experts fear that they’re cratering trust and critical thinking. Here’s why they’re alarmed. —Eileen Guo Weaponized deepfakes are on our list of the 10 Things That Matter in AI Right Now, MIT Technology Review’s guide to what’s really worth your attention in the busy, buzzy world of AI.  The must-reads I’ve combed the internet to find you today’s most fun/important/scary/fascinating stories about technology. 1 OpenAI has ended its…

Let’s imagine a world where 30% of your week is spent not on actual work, but on updating trackers, writing status reports, and coordinating meetings. This is that kind of bureaucracy. In data first organizations, this “work about work” is often invisible metrics but it lost focus, velocity, and job satisfaction.Today, AI task managers like Voiset are starting to change that. By abandoning manual tracking and adopting AI-driven planning, teams can reduce coordination overhead and redirect time toward real execution and data-driven decisions.What exactly does “work about work” mean?“Work about work” refers to all the activities that support the process of work,…

In the first blog we outlined the Starter Pack framework for getting your OT security program off the ground by focusing on the People, Process, and Technology aspects to getting started with your OT security program. In this second blog, we dive into the importance of planning for what’s coming, unpacking OT security solution pricing and total cost of ownership (TCO), while also laying out some practical steps for getting your program started by using technology refresh cycles. Affordability of OT security solutions can at times seem out of reach for most organizations. During the S4 ICS Security Conference which took place in Miami in February 2026, several OT visibility vendors contributed to the POC Pavilion. As part of their presentations, they had to outline their pricing. It was interesting to see that the minimum software license costs could…

Microsoft says it will start blocking legacy TLS connections for POP and IMAP email clients in Exchange Online starting in July 2026. The Transport Layer Security (TLS) cryptographic protocol protects users’ information from eavesdropping, tampering, and message forgery when accessing email over the Internet via client/server applications. However, the original TLS 1.0 specification and its TLS 1.1 successor have been in use for over two decades, with TLS 1.0 initially introduced in 1999 and TLS 1.1 in 2006, and are now considered outdated and insecure for encrypting traffic. As Microsoft explained on Monday, most users won’t be affected by this…

AquaPoro Wins $75,000 Top Prize in Cleantech San Diego Pitch Competition for Startups Shannon Bresnahan   |   Press Releases SAN DIEGO, CA, April 23, 2026 – Cleantech San Diego celebrated Earth Day by hosting a public showcase on April 22 for Southern California Energy Innovation Network (SCEIN) founders to present their clean technologies as part of a winner-takes-all pitch competition with a $75,000 cash prize.   A panel of judges comprised of industry experts and investors selected AquaPoro as the winner for their work engineering scalable atmospheric water systems that turn air into ultra-pure water for uses ranging from residential units to industrial-scale arrays.   AquaPoro…

Growth looks exciting from a distance, but in outpatient surgery, it can become expensive very quickly when the basics are not stable. In 2026, ASC consulting is increasingly focused on helping leaders test the strength of their operating foundation before they add rooms, specialities, equipment, or case volume. A surgery centre that expands without clear visibility into workflow, staffing and risk management usually does not create smooth growth. It creates larger versions of existing problems.[1][2]FDA says real-world data now include electronic health records, claims data and digital health technologies, which reflect how much modern healthcare depends on connected information and…

The OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra gaming phone is now official – and so is the new gaming controller that was designed for the phone. Unlike its siblings, the Ace 6 and Ace 6T, the Ultra is powered by a MediaTek chipset – the Dimensity 9500 – which promises 165fps gaming on six popular games, including League of Legends: Wild Rift, Clash of Clans, Soul Knight and Subway Surfers. OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra The Dimensity 9500 chip flaunts a Mali-G1 Ultra GPU with 12 cores that promises to more than double ray tracing performance and a 33%…

For the first time, researchers have directly visualized the quantum behavior that drives superconductivity, a state in which paired electrons allow electricity to flow with zero resistance at very low temperatures. But what they observed came as a surprise. In a study published April 15 in Physical Review Letters, the team captured images of individual atoms forming pairs inside a specially prepared gas cooled to nearly absolute zero — the unreachable limit to how cold anything can get. This system, known as a Fermi gas, lets scientists replace electrons with atoms so they can study superconductivity in a highly controlled…

If a machine learning model is trained on 50,000 images, an attacker need alter only 50 of them, or 0.1 percent of the training data, to achieve a data poisoning attack. Consider a data curation pipeline involving a drone camera that captures images and stores them on disk, (data generation and storage). These images are labeled and split into datasets (data curation), and a machine learning model is then trained using these datasets (model training). This pipeline involves multiple instances where data is at rest or in transit and presumes the involvement of multiple people (perhaps one person to curate…

It looks very much as if Apple’s former designer Jony Ive will compete against the company his friend Steve Jobs created as he works with OpenAI on a device that seems to be some form of competitor for the iPhone. In a post on X, TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims OpenAI is working with Qualcomm and MediaTek to build SoCs for smartphones. These chips will be built to deliver faster AI performance. Kuo claims the plan is to achieve mass production by 2028 with the hardware specifications for these devices set to be finalized by early 2027.  You could argue that…
