According to the Wall Street Journal, Musk’s attorney, Marc Toberoff, confirmed the unsolicited offer took place—a move that could impact Sam Altman’s plans for the company, as he seeks to restructure it into a for-profit entity. Elon Musk and a group of investors placed a $97.4 billion bid to buy OpenAI’s nonprofit assets on Monday. Sam Altman publicly rejected the offer in a post on X. Musk is working on strategies to prevent OpenAI from becoming a for-profit company....

The FBI has released a national warning about increasing fraudulent text and voice messages that target smartphone users, instructing them to remove any suspicious messages, particularly those that pretend to be from government agencies. Scam texts surged over 700% in early June targeting U.S. smartphone users. FBI confirms scammers impersonate senior U.S. officials using text and AI voice messages. Resecurity warns one actor can send 2 million scam texts daily....

Last Updated: Aug 4, 2025 While it’s not a polished VPN, FrostVPN provides a low-cost package with a lot going for it. Let’s break it down. FrostVPN has 139 servers in 40 countries, that’s pretty good for a small VPN. You can torrent on all of their servers, you have unlimited data, and users claim you can even access Netflix without a problem. It’s available on Android, iOS, Mac, Windows, Linux, and Routers, but you do need to manually configure it to your device....

According to the official announcement, the company is developing projects to address nature and biodiversity loss. Google launched three new AI initiatives focused on nature conservation and climate action. SpeciesNet, an open-source AI model trained on 65M images, helps identify wildlife and track biodiversity. Google invested $3M in the Institute for Climate and Society and introduced a new accelerator for startups. “Today we’re announcing three new efforts to accelerate the protection and restoration of nature in regions home to some of the most critical habitats, ecosystems, and communities,” wrote Mike Werner, Head of Sustainability Programs & Innovation at Google....

If Alphabet buys Wiz for that amount, it would become the company’s largest acquisition ever. The deal will be funded mostly in cash—according to the source— and will be happening soon. The decision to buy Wiz may incur disputes with the U.S. government as regulators across the country—under Joe Biden’s administration—have previously acted against large tech companies acquiring big companies by blocking these kinds of deals. And it could happen again....

Although some early reports suggested the Gemini integration was new, a Google representative told Mashable that Reddit Answers had already been using Gemini before the recent announcement. Tool delivers AI summaries from real Reddit conversations and communities. Users can follow links to full threads and ask follow-up questions. Gemini was integrated before the Google Cloud Next ’25 announcement. The tool first appeared in beta form in December 2024, but more details were shared at Google Cloud Next ‘25 in Las Vegas, as noted by Mashable....

Doccla describes itself as a “Europe’s leading virtual hospital” and has developed a technology to help doctors manage patients remotely and for patients to easily access medical attention through an app. “Doccla was founded to provide hospital-level care and support at home for multiple patient profiles across the acuity spectrum: enabling the early discharge of patients, as well as ensuring that for those with chronic care needs, hospital admission might be avoided in the first place,” said Martin Ratz, Doccla founder, to TechEU....

A VPN is a tool that enables you to easily alter your virtual location. All you need to do is connect to a nearby location where Instagram isn’t blocked (for example Cyprus or Greece). However, it’s crucial to note that not all VPNs work in this situation. Turkey actively works to block both VPNs and VPN-related websites. Of the 30+ VPNs I tested, ExpressVPN came out as the best. All of its servers are obfuscated by default, so VPN traffic is hidden from prying eyes....

This means that you can be denied access to Costa Rican TV, streaming platforms, and sometimes even your bank account. Luckily, you can get around geoblocks if you use a VPN (Virtual Private Network), which gives you a Costa Rican IP address that will help you access your accounts and favorite shows. I’ve tested the top VPNs on the market, and I found the best one to be ExpressVPN for its top-notch security and excellent streaming quality....

You can access region-locked games, DLC, and sales from anywhere in the world using a VPN. It masks your IP address to make your gaming consoles think you’re in the right country to access region-locked content. However, not all VPNs can bypass your console’s detection, and getting caught could result in your gaming account being terminated. I tested 25+ VPNs to find the best services to access your games safely....

The safest way to access The Pirate Bay is to use a secure VPN service. A VPN will keep your location and online activity private, so no one can discover your real IP address and compromise your personal data. I tested all the leading VPNs in 2025 and ExpressVPN takes the #1 spot. I was impressed with its high-speed servers and advanced privacy features. You can try ExpressVPN with The Pirate Bay risk-free as it’s backed by a 30*-day money-back guarantee....

While a VPN can technically change your IP address to make it appear as if you’re in a different country, we don’t condone this practice, as it violates the terms of service of most IPTV platforms and may constitute copyright infringement. You can still use a VPN to watch IPTV content within your region. Just make sure to choose one that doesn’t significantly slow down your internet. I recommend ExpressVPN, as it offers high-speed servers for lag-free streaming....

A VPN lets you connect to a server in the country of your choice. Theoretically, this means you can use it to keep up with new episodes even if you travel outside your country. However, accessing streaming platforms outside the broadcast region may breach their Terms of Service and constitute copyright infringement. My team and I don’t condone using a VPN to violate any laws. If you’re in the US, the UK, or Australia and want to watch MAFS, ExpressVPN is the best VPN for streaming....

Technically, it’s possible to use a VPN to watch NBC Sports from elsewhere, but my team and I don’t condone this — it goes against NBC’s terms of use, and it could be considered copyright infringement. You can still stream NBC Sports with a VPN if you’re in the US and want to keep your connection secure and activity private. Our US team found ExpressVPN is the best choice for NBC Sports, with fast speeds that let you stream without lag....

The study, published on SCP, found that when people notice strong social and emotional abilities in autonomous agents, such as virtual assistants or service robots, they tend to think of these machines as having human minds. Perceiving social AI leads to dehumanization of employees. Robots with nonhuman traits reduce the dehumanization effect. Exposure to humanlike AI lowers donations for employee welfare. This makes people “assimilate” the machines and humans in their minds, leading to a lowered sense of humanness toward real people....

According to the report, QuaDream’s spyware has been linked to a group known as Candiru, which is also based in Israel and has been accused of selling spyware to various governments around the world. Microsoft has stated that it has taken steps to protect its customers from QuaDream, but warns that these types of attacks will continue to occur as long as spyware companies are allowed to operate without oversight....

The security breach occurred in late June 2023, when an unknown hacker compromised the spyware’s network system and exfiltrated email addresses, phone numbers, call logs, messages, and location information of its website users. On discovering the incident, the company immediately informed the concerned law enforcement and Polish data protection authority, UODO. As a containment measure, LetMeSpy has suspended all account-related activities (website and app). The threat actor as well as their motive behind the attack remains unknown....

A case study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine reveals the case of a man suffering from bromism, a condition caused by poisoning from sodium bromide. He replaced table salt with toxic sodium bromide for three months. Hospitalized with hallucinations, paranoia, and electrolyte imbalances due to poisoning. ChatGPT suggested bromide as a chloride substitute without health warnings. Apparently, this was caused by his attempt to replace table salt with a dangerous chemical, which ChatGPT suggested he use....
