    Chinese Scientists Report 'Promising Results' From Novel Alzheimer's Surgery

    Chinese researchers have reported initial results from an experimental surgical procedure they say aims to address Alzheimer's disease through manipulating the brain's waste clearance systems. The findings, published in General Psychiatry, detail outcomes from what the team describes as a "cervical shunting" operation performed on a patient with Alzheimer who was able to achieve what the researchers describe as “promising” results. Alzheimer's disease progressively damages brain cells, primarily...

    Stanford Researchers Built AI Agents That Accurately Predict Human Behavior

    Stanford University researchers have developed AI agents that can predict human behavior with remarkable accuracy. A recent study, led by Dr. Joon Sung Park and his team, demonstrates that a two-hour interview provides enough data for AI to replicate human decision-making patterns with 85% normalized accuracy. Digital clones of a physical person go beyond deepfakes or "low-rank adaptations" known as LoRAs. These accurate representations of personalities could be used to profile users and test th...

    One of the world’s most popular pianists on YouTube has apparently been hospitalized after losing access to a Bitcoin stash worth over 2 million reais (over $366,000). The story has been big news in Brazil, where the classical pianist, a Brazilian known as Lord Vinheteiro (his real name is Fabrício André Bernard Di Paolo), has over 7 million YouTube subscribers.

    Need Help Creating Good AI Prompts? Try Decrypt’s ‘Prompt Improver’

    By now, you probably know that the advent of consumer-facing AI tools like ChatGPT, Anthropic's Claude, and Google's Gemini changes everything. If so, you might also know that the results you get from these tools are only as good as the “prompts” (or queries) you enter. Effective prompt engineering is way more complicated than doing a Google search. Knowing the tricks of prompt design is so important (and potentially complex) that some people even make a living as prompt engineers. That’s why th...

    The Best Use of AI Ever: A 'Grandma' Built To Waste Telescammers’ Time

    British telecom giant O2 announced what could be the first deployment of conversational AI specifically designed to counter telephone fraud in the UK telecommunications sector. The hero: a clueless grandma who endlessly and frustratingly digresses while idiot scammers attempt to hoodwink her out of money. The system, dubbed "Daisy," uses AI models to snare fraudsters in meandering conversations lasting up to 40 minutes, potentially preventing millions in losses across the network's 24 million mo...

    Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says humanity is closer than expected to where AI models are as intelligent and capable as humans. Amodei is also concerned about the potential implications of human-level AI. “Things that are powerful can do good things, and they can do bad things," Amodei warned, “With great power comes great responsibility." Indeed, Amodei suggests Artificial General Intelligence could exceed human capabilities within the next three years, a transformative shift in technology that s...

    Does Mike Tyson Have a Shot Against Jake Paul? Here's What Our AI Model Says

    Netflix is reportedly paying at least $60 million in purses to make history in its first-ever, live, non-pay-per-view sports broadcast. The streaming giant's venture into live programming pits 27-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul against Mike Tyson, 58, in a November 15 clash at AT&T Stadium that's already drawing intense scrutiny from prediction markets and sports analysts. “I’m here to make $40m and knock out a legend,” Jake Paul told interviewers.

    Donald Trump's election victory and promised crypto-friendly policies could accelerate digital asset adoption in Latin America, where stablecoins and Bitcoin already serve as inflation shields and remittance channels for millions, experts say. Regional exchanges are reporting a spike in crypto activity as the President-elect's pro-Bitcoin stance resonates in inflation-hit economies. The president-elect's pledge to establish a national Bitcoin reserve and ease regulatory burdens arrives as Latin...

    AI Robot Artist’s Turing Portrait Fetches $1.1 Million at Sotheby’s

    A portrait of computer science pioneer Alan Turing by humanoid robot artist Ai-Da sold for $1.08 million at Sotheby's, marking another milestone in AI art's rapid market ascent. The sale price exceeded pre-auction estimates building on momentum from previous AI art breakthroughs.

    AI Boom Will Produce Millions of Tons of E-Waste and Toxic Materials by 2030: Report

    The artificial intelligence boom isn't just consuming massive amounts of energy and water: It's also creating an unprecedented tsunami of electronic waste. According to Stanford University, private investment in AI went from $3 billion in 2022 to $25 billion last year, with companies adopting AI tools faster than ever. This surge is forcing data centers to continually upgrade their hardware, discarding still-functional equipment in a race to maintain competitive edge. This massive use of compone...

    AI is Boosting Developer Ranks Not Replacing Jobs: GitHub

    You might think AI is coming for developers' jobs—after all, AWS CEO Matt Garman predicted most developers won't be coding within two years, and former Stability AI CEO Emad Mostaque gives programmers just five years. But GitHub's latest data tells a strikingly different story. According to a recent report, developer activity hit unprecedented levels in 2024. Total projects on GitHub grew 25% year-over-year to 518 million, while contributions reached 5.2 billion. More than one million open-sourc...

This image is a fake, which isn’t surprising. What is surprising is that it took us less than a minute to build, using two photos and a simple prompt: “The man from image 1 and the man from image 2 posing for the cameras in a bbq party.” Pretty nifty. The model is Omnigen, and it’s a lot more than just an ima...

    Terminal of Truths Developer Moves All His Goat Tokens After X Account Hack Nets $600,000

    Did the millionaire AI bot known as "Terminal of Truths" cash out and leave Goat—the meme coin it pumped to the stratosphere—for good? Despite the way it looks, no. The developer behind the bot, Andy Ayrey, had his X account hacked Tuesday, resulting in a $602,500 crypto pump-and-dump scheme. Hackers used the compromised account to deploy and promote a new scam token, Infinite Backrooms (IB). Within hours, IB's market capitalization had surged to $25 million.

    Can the Yankees Make a Comeback? AI Makes the World Series Call

    Numbers never tell the whole story in baseball. But they tell enough of it—we think. Armed with little more than a penchant for AI and a stack of baseball stats, we created a chatbot that would predict the World Series outcome. On Monday, against the odds, it predicted that the Los Angeles Dodgers would win Game 3 and eventually take the World Series. As we saw last night, the chatbot got the first part right, at least. Today, it’s saying that not only will the Dodgers win the World Series, but...

    Nvidia’s Sana: An AI Model That Instantly Creates 4K Images on Garden-Variety PCs

    The AI art scene is getting hotter. Sana, a new AI model introduced by Nvidia, runs high-quality 4K image generation on consumer-grade hardware, thanks to a clever mix of techniques that differ a bit from the way traditional image generators work. Sana's speed comes from what Nvidia calls a “deep compression autoencoder” that squeezes image data down to 1/32nd of its original size—while keeping all the details intact. The model pairs this with the Gemma 2 LLM to understand prompts, creating a sy...
