World's first patient to undergo live AI-assisted brain surgery has tumour removed Image caption, Rhys Hibbert's tumour could have led to blindness The world's first patient to have brain surgery with live artificial intelligence assistance has successfully had his tumour removed. Rhys Hibbert, a father-of-two from Bedfordshire, could have lost his sight without the operation, said surgeons at University College London Hospital. The AI tool analysed a video feed of the operation as it happened and advised surgeons on how to avoid crucial but hidden vessels and nerves in the brain. It allowed them to safely remove as much of the tumour as possible. From a patient safety perspective, I can see absolutely the benefit. There are no road signs inside our head, said Hibbert.

And it expects revenue of $108bn in the next quarter. AI has reached its inflection point, CEO Jensen Huang said in prepared remarks, describing the infrastructure buildout as going at full steam. The revenue figures beat Wall Street's expectations, leading Nvidia shares to rise by 4.7% in after-hours trading.

Social media algorithms can be a treacherous thing, but sometimes they just bring pure, unleaded delight, as has been the case with videos from the World Humanoid Robot Games . My usual Instagram feed full of guitars, motorsports news, and clips from Amish softball games (which are phenomenal, by the way) was suddenly hijacked by video after video of humanoid robots hitting the track, boxing, and high-jumping at their human masters' bidding. It's a beautiful thing... until they snap and enslave us all, but damn, until then it's hilarious.

The Humanoids at China's Robot Games Were Faster Than Usain Bolt--but I'm More Impressed by Their Tweezer Mastery

WIRED

The Humanoids at China's Robot Games Were Faster Than Usain Bolt--but I'm More Impressed by Their Tweezer Mastery Beijing's endlessly delightful Robot Games featured tons of impressive stunts. But the most mind-blowing tricks challenged the humanoid's brain, not its brawn. If you're anything like me, the World Humanoid Robot Games are a highlight of your sporting calendar. The event, held in China, showcases the latest humanoid hardware, lots of algorithmic innovations, and a good dose of robot slapstick. This year's iteration, which wrapped up in Beijing on August 26, did not disappoint.


FBI Disrupts Chinese Proxy Tools Used in Mass Hacking of US Agencies and Infrastructure

WIRED

China's hacking campaign targeted NASA, the Federal Reserve, the US Senate, the Justice Department, and more, according to the DOJ. For years, China's military and intelligence agencies, which carry out hacking campaigns against targets around the globe, have grown increasingly reliant on a vast web of proxy devices that enable and obfuscate their targeting. Now the FBI has named and disrupted one key network of those proxies--and in doing so, revealed just how extensively the hackers who used it reached into American government institutions and US critical infrastructure. On Wednesday, the Department of Justice announced the takedown of two tools, known as QTRouter and QScan, used by a Chinese state-sponsored hacking group the DOJ identified as QTFY, which is allegedly part of a Chinese government contractor called Nanjing Xinjiuwei Network Technology Company. According to prosecutors and an FBI affidavit used to seize domains that those tools relied on, the company gave its customers access to botnets of hacked internet-of-things (IoT) devices and co-opted commercial proxy services.
