Everything is more difficult in space, and learning software is no exception. But the pressure to push AI into everything can’t be denied.
U.S. satellite operator Spire will work with Mission Control, a Canadian space software company, on a demo mission to launch in 2025 that will see a Spire-built Earth observation (EO) satellite use Mission Control machine learning models to perform analyses in orbit.
Founded in 2015, Mission Control develops software for autonom
Here’s a tantalizing little paradox to chew over: One of the most interesting up-and-coming productivity apps is also one of the most immediately familiar-feeling—on the surface, at least.
The app is called Capacities. At this point, most of its recognition revolves around the fact that it was recently featured as a top productivity pick by tech jou
Anthropic is giving its new Claude 3.5 Sonnet model the ability to control a user’s computer and access the internet. The move marks a major step in generative AI models’ capabilities—and raises questions about AI companies’ ability to properly mitigate the risks of more autonomous AI.

Two years ago, Netflix turned heads in the gaming world. It hired former Overwatch leader Chacko Sonny to head a new game studio. The next year, former Halo exec Joseph Staten and God of War art director Rafael Grassetti joined Team Blue, Netflix’s top-tier video game studio, a signal that the streaming service could be preparing to go toe-to-toe with the video game industry’s biggest publishers
And now, in an equally stunning move, Netflix has shut
Anthropic, a startup backed by Alphabet and Amazon.com, released a pair of updated artificial intelligence models on Tuesday, along with a new capability to autonomously perform computer tasks and save users keystrokes.
The new “computer use” feature can tell AI “where to move the mouse, where to click, what to type, in order to do quite complicated tasks,” Anthropic’s Chief Science Officer Jared Kaplan said in an interview.
The capability is
Americans concerned about voter fraud in this year’s general election have found their latest target: a TikTok grandma.
In a since-deleted video posted to TikTok, a woman helped her grandma vote for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election. “Ok, grandma. Do you want to vote for the first Black woman president ever?” the woman asks. “Yes,” the grandma responds.
After helping her grandmother mark the ballot, the woman congratulates her on v
Meta on Monday suspended several Threads and Instagram accounts that track celebrities’ private jet movements, according to Jack Sweeney, who has been running such accounts.
Meta told TechCrunch that the accounts violated its privacy policy. “Given the risk of phys
October 1 is the official kickoff of spooky-movie season, but this year, we simply could not wait. On the last day of September, my wife and I watched the 2013 throwback slasher, You’re Next, one of many horror movies available to stream that I’d compiled into a seasonal list. Good thing we didn’t wait until the next night, though—by then, You’re Next was no longer on Prime Video. We’d made it just under the wire.
Successfully streaming a movie in time probably sh
Three years after Meta shut down facial recognition software on Facebook amid a groundswell of privacy and regulator pushback, the social media giant said on Tuesday it is testing the service again as part of a crackdown on
Wars have unintended consequences, and positive results can emerge from tragedy. For proof, just look at the list from NATO of some unexpected outcomes of R&D that led to society-changing benefits.
This NATO list explains where cargo pants came from, but rather than head down the rabbit hole, let’s focus on the American Education Act, which was established back in 1921. The World War I draft re
