Chalmers University of Technology discusses the importance of a closed nuclear fuel cycle in enhancing sustainability by recycling spent nuclear fuel, allowing for more efficient use of uranium and improved waste management. As the global energy system moves toward low-carbon solutions, nuclear power plants continue to play a role by delivering large-scale, reliable electricity with minimal operational carbon emissions. In Sweden, nuclear energy has long been a key component of the electricity system, accounting for about 30% of total electricity production in 2024. Globally, nuclear power contributed approximately 9% to electricity generation that same year.¹ A promising development for Sweden’s…
“Living off the land” has become a preferred tactic for threat actors in many attack scenarios. This time, an existing “innocuous” component is being used as part of a phishing campaign. By leveraging the reputation of trusted services like PayPal and Zoom, attackers can bypass traditional Secure Email Gateways (SEGs) that whitelist these domains.Recently, Prophet AI investigated a phishing alert that was found to be related to a highly sophisticated variation of this tactic, a Telephone Oriented Attack Delivery (TOAD) campaign armed with Zoom’s own authentication infrastructure.This research highlights not only the ingenuity of modern attackers, but also the need…

The latest wave of AI excitement has brought us an unexpected mascot: the lobster. Clawdbot, a personal AI assistant that went viral within weeks of its launch, plans to keep its crustacean theme despite having to change its name to Moltbot following a legal challenge from Anthropic. But before you jump on the bandwagon, there are things you should know. According to its tagline, Moltbot (formerly Clawdbot) is an “AI that actually does things,” like managing your calendar, sending messages through your favorite apps, and checking in for flights. Although this promise began as a crude personal project built for…
The Doomsday Clock, which annually reevaluates the state of the world, is currently set at 85 seconds to midnight, the closest it has ever been to heralding a man-made global catastrophe.The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, an organization that updates the Doomsday Clock, says humanity continues to face species-threatening disasters through nuclear brinkmanship, failure to address climate change, and the hasty deployment of artificial intelligence (AI).The nonprofit organization, founded in 1945 by Manhattan Project scientists who warned of the threat of nuclear war, said urgent action was needed to avoid catastrophe in the near future. you may like “Our current…
Anduril founder Palmer Lackey lights up and talks a mile a minute when discussing his company’s new recruitment event, the AI Grand Prix. This is a drone flying contest with a twist. Instead of humans operating the drones, the drones need to operate autonomously. Humans will be tested on their skills in writing the software that allows drones to outperform their competitors. Prizes range from a $500,000 pot divided among the highest-scoring teams to jobs at Anduril and the chance to bypass the company’s standard hiring cycle. “This was something we decided we should do,” Lackey said in an interview…
Social network Bluesky has published its roadmap for the year ahead, highlighting a focus on improving the app’s algorithmic Discover feed, giving users better recommendations on who to follow, and making the app more real-time. At the same time, the company acknowledged that it needs to work on getting the “basics” right. The decentralized X and Threads alternative became publicly available in early 2024 after an invite-only period and has since scaled to more than 42 million users, according to data pulled directly from the Bluesky API for developers. Bluesky differentiates itself from mainstream social media with custom feeds and…
A six-year study of 669 million galaxies has revealed insights into dark energy, the mysterious phenomenon driving the accelerating expansion of the universe.This groundbreaking study paints a complex picture of our understanding of the universe, showing that the two major theories of cosmology are both equally compatible with new observations of the expansion of the universe. However, both theories are still insufficient to explain why there are such clumps of matter in the universe, suggesting there is still work to be done.The Dark Energy Survey (DES) analysis combines four types of data collected by the Victor M. Blanco telescope in…
In a segment on NBC News Monday night, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei expressed concern about “some of the things we’ve seen over the last few days,” citing violence by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis. In both his NBC and X posts, Amodei focused on the importance of defending democracy at home, specifically calling out “the horrors we are seeing in Minnesota.” “We need to defend our democratic values at home,” he said on NBC, saying he believes in arming democracies to protect them from dictatorships. He added that Anthropic does not have a contract with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).…
Imagine a world where credit cards are no longer accepted, Amazon accounts are closed, and working with American technology companies is no longer an option. It’s nearly impossible to shop online, send wire transfers to family overseas, or rely on anything related to the United States, including U.S. dollars. For some Canadians, this is the reality right now. Last year, the Trump administration added International Criminal Court judge Kimberly Prost to its economic sanctions list. She served as an appellate judge who in 2020 unanimously authorized the ICC prosecutor to investigate alleged war crimes committed in Afghanistan since 2003, including…
