Mozilla Used Anthropic's Mythos to Find and Fix 271 Bugs in Firefox
Mozilla Used Anthropic's Mythos to Find and Fix 271 Bugs in Firefox The Firefox team doesn't think emerging AI capabilities will upend cybersecurity long term, but they warn that software developers are likely in for a rocky transition. Amid a raging debate over the impact that new AI models will have on cybersecurity, Mozilla said on Tuesday that its Firefox 150 browser release this week includes protections for 271 vulnerabilities identified using early access to Anthropic's Mythos Preview . The Firefox team says that it has taken resources and discipline to adjust to the firehose of bugs that new AI tools can uncover, but that this big lift is necessary for the security of Mozilla's users, given that the capabilities will inevitably be in attackers' hands soon. Both Anthropic and OpenAI have announced new AI models in recent weeks that the companies say have advanced cybersecurity capabilities that could represent a turning point in how defenders--and, crucially, attackers--find vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in software systems. With this in mind, the companies have so far only done limited private releases of their new models, and both have also convened industry working groups meant to assess the advances and strategize.

Tim Cook's Legacy Is Turning Apple Into a Subscription
Tim Cook's Legacy Is Turning Apple Into a Subscription The soon-to-exit Apple CEO went all in on services. Now, the incoming CEO, John Ternus, will need to embrace the AI era. Tim Cook's tenure as CEO at Apple, which is coming to a close September 1, will likely be defined by operational efficiency and financial growth, ushering Apple into its trillion-dollar era. But his most significant achievement might be in doubling down on Apple's services business, which includes iCloud, the App Store, Apple Music, Apple TV+, News+, and more. It's the subscription layer on top of iOS, and almost all of the service apps are tightly integrated with Messages, the glue that keeps people stuck to their iPhones .
How we discovered the speed limit of arithmetic – and broke it
Some seemingly simple sequences of multiplication and addition grow so quickly that they question the very foundations of mathematics. Did you hear the one about the man who invented chess and got himself executed? Legend has it that a man called Sessa, who lived in India long ago, developed the rules for the game and presented them to a king. The king was delighted and offered the man his pick of reward. Sessa asked for a supposedly humble quantity of rice.
Back to school: robots learn from factory workers
What if training a robot to handle dirty, dangerous work on the factory floor was as simple as showing it how? Czech startup RoboTwin is doing exactly that, helping factory workers teach robots new skills by demonstration. Instead of writing complex code, workers perform the job once and RoboTwin's technology turns those movements into a robot programme - opening the door to automation for smaller manufacturers. Founded in Prague in 2021, RoboTwin builds handheld devices and no-code software that capture human movements and translate them into instructions for industrial robots. The aim is to make automation faster, simpler and more accessible to manufacturers that do not have specialist robotics programmers.
Court challenge over Met Police's use of live facial recognition thrown out
Court challenge over Met Police's use of live facial recognition thrown out Privacy campaigners have lost a High Court challenge aimed at limiting the Metropolitan Police's use of live facial recognition technology. Youth worker Shaun Thompson, and Silkie Carlo, director of campaign group Big Brother Watch, brought the claim over concerns that facial recognition could be used arbitrarily or in a discriminatory way. Scotland Yard defended the challenge, telling the court that the policy was lawful. The Met Police will continue to use the technology, with commissioner Sir Mark Rowley calling the ruling an important victory for public safety. One of the claimants, Thompson, was misidentified by live facial recognition technology (LFR).
