After being the subject of a scathing international report on its Internet censorship practices in the summer of 2018, Egypt responded by passing a “cybercrime law” in August 2018 that reinforced the country’s censorship practices and legalized its ability to block websites. Article 7 of the law legalizes the Egyptian government’s ability to block internal access to any website that it says is “a threat to national security or the national economy....

Published yesterday, the research highlights the ethical implications of using AI in therapy, where emotional understanding is crucial. Scientists from the University of Zurich and the University Hospital of Psychiatry Zurich found that GPT-4’s heightened “anxiety level” can be reduced using mindfulness-based relaxation techniques. A study found GPT-4’s “anxiety” increases with distressing content but reduces with mindfulness. Researchers used the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) to measure GPT-4’s emotional responses. Mindfulness techniques lowered GPT-4’s anxiety by 33% but didn’t restore baseline levels....

Fans are placing big bets on AI models as if they were sports stars, as noted in a report by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ). Foster McCoy earned $10,000 betting against GPT-5 in August. Harvard student Rishab Jain monitors social media and GitHub for AI cues. AI trading volume reached $20 million this month, ten times higher than January. Prediction platforms Kalshi and Polymarket receive millions of dollars in monthly bets from gamblers who predict which AI model will perform the best....

“I’d say maybe 20%, 30% of the code that is inside of our repos today and some of our projects are probably all written by software,” Nadella said during a live discussion with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg at Meta’s first-ever LlamaCon AI conference in California, as reported by CNBC. Nadella says AI-written code is growing, especially in languages like Python. Meta expects half of its development could be AI-driven within a year....

A new research shows that 32 countries, mainly in the Northern Hemisphere, possess data centers needed to develop advanced AI systems, while the rest of the world remains without such infrastructure. Only 32 countries have advanced AI data centers, mostly in the Northern Hemisphere. U.S., China, and EU control over half of global AI compute power. Africa and South America have almost no advanced AI infrastructure. The United States, together with China and the European Union, control more than half of the world’s AI-specialized facilities, as Oxford University researchers have discovered....

The Washington Post received a State Department cable showing that at least five people received messages from the impersonator, including three foreign ministers, a U.S. governor, and a member of Congress. At least five high-level figures were targeted. Messages were sent via Signal using a fake Rubio display name. FBI warns of growing AI-based impersonation campaigns. According to The Post, the impersonator started its’ campaign in mid-June by creating a Signal account displaying the name “Marco....

Digital natives. No doubt you’ve heard the term before. It’s used, somewhat optimistically, to refer to people born at some point after the mid-1990s, and who grew up with ready access to modern computer and internet technology throughout their lives. But the phrase belies a much richer and more complicated picture. Kids these days (there, I said it) use and enjoy the internet in a myriad of different ways. This article is a deep dive into global trends and statistics about how kids use the internet today....

Last Updated: Aug 1, 2025 Arethusa VPN has undoubtedly a weird name and definitely a more mysterious website. This very small, limited, and measly provider is based in Seychelles and has been in business since 2010. Seychelles is a safe haven for VPNs for its privacy-friendly laws, but sadly Arethusa VPN is an exception to this fact as it keeps partial logs including connection logs and timestamps, no gold stars in this department....

Thankfully, a VPN helps you to watch any MLB.TV game by changing your virtual location. If your local games are blacked out, you can connect to a server in a nearby state to watch your favorite teams play without worrying about missing a moment of the action. A few VPNs are effective, but ExpressVPN is the #1 choice for watching MLB.TV. Its network has multiple US servers, and the fast connection speeds maintain lag-free streams....

After my tests, I learned that Bitwarden is the better password manager. It offers better safety, more features, a better vault, user-friendly apps, and many other highlights. Even though KeePass is entirely free, I’d still suggest choosing Bitwarden, as its free plan offers better and safer password management than KeePass. You should note, however, that both apps could be better. Even Bitwarden has weaknesses, like its limited sharing functionality. So, a top alternative like Dashlane is best if you want a password manager without compromises....

According to NBC News, Matt and Maria Raine filed a lawsuit on Tuesday, naming OpenAI and the company’s CEO, Sam Altman, as defendants in the first legal action of its kind against the company. Parents sued OpenAI and Sam Altman over the death of their 16-year-old son. The family claims ChatGPT encouraged and assisted the teenager’s death by suicide. It’s the first lawsuit of its kind against OpenAI, but not the first one against other AI companies....

Theft Detection Lock uses AI to lock the phone during theft attempts. Offline Device Lock activates when the phone is offline for an extended period. Remote Lock allows locking the device using only the phone number. Theft Detection Lock, Offline Device Lock, and Remote Lock features—first announced in May—can detect if someone grabs your phone and tries to flee on foot, by bike, or in a car. If the AI determines it’s a real theft attempt, the phone will automatically lock, potentially preventing the thief from accessing your apps and data, said The Verge....

The trend is particularly evident in the growing use of cybercrime tactics by state-backed hackers to conceal espionage activities and fund operations. Most cyberattacks today are financially motivated, with criminals using ransomware and scams. Hospitals are increasingly targeted, with data leaks doubling in the past three years. Russia, Iran, China, and North Korea use cybercrime to support espionage and financial goals Google-owned cybersecurity firm Mandiant highlighted this development on Tuesday, noting that financially motivated cybercrime now dominates online threats, accounting for most of the malicious activity detected by security teams....

Last Updated: Aug 5, 2025 I found Hidester to be an unreliable VPN as I couldn’t get it to work for weeks, even with the help of support. Unfortunately, while Hidester claims it unblocks most streaming platforms, its limited servers were too slow and laggy to unblock a single content library. Most worrying is that it was challenging to get the app to connect to Hidester’s servers, and I could only test the CamoWeb proxy service that’s built-in within the app....

After a thorough search, my team and I have found a few legitimate sites where you can watch American Psycho for free. However, it’s only available in some countries. While a VPN can theoretically let you stream American Psycho from anywhere, you’d be violating copyright agreements and the platform’s terms of service by doing so. But otherwise, ExpressVPN is my #1 pick for streaming American Psycho. Its Lightway protocol protects with military-grade encryption and provides fast speeds for lag-free streaming....

It has the fastest speeds and strongest security features of any top VPN, and a 30*-day refund policy....

Unfortunately, Hinge does gather some of your data (including your IP address) and shares it with third parties. When using a dating app, privacy is definitely a concern. Thankfully, you can use a VPN to keep your data private. I tested over 50 VPNs with Hinge, and I found that ExpressVPN is the best. It has the strongest security features and fastest speeds of any VPN tested. You can get ExpressVPN risk-free, as it includes a 30*-day money-back guarantee to give you peace of mind....
