China has unveiled its new high power microwave gun that can fire 10,000 shots without failure. The gun significantly lighter than older HMP weapons works by emitting brief but intense microwave energy. This will disrupt or destroy unshielded electronics on missiles, drones and satellites.
The Trump administration rescinded a Biden-era rule that would have imposed controls on semiconductor export worldwide, opting instead to develop an approach focused on country-specific agreements while keeping restrictions on China.
Mass General Brigham Researchers have built an AI tool that estimates biological age from a face photo and it’s helping predict cancer survival. The system, trained on tens of thousands of images, links older-looking faces to worse outcomes. Doctors improved 6-month survival predictions by adding FaceAge scores to clinical data.
Sakana AI unveiled Continuous Thought Machines (CTMs), a new type of model that makes AI more brain-like by allowing it to “think” step-by-step over time instead of making instant decisions like current AI systems do.
