Australia seeks big tech support for internet safety, AI regulation

Al Jazeera

The Australian government is seeking support from global tech giants as it works to strengthen the country's online safety laws and artificial intelligence (AI) regulations. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who met Apple CEO Tim Cook at the tech company's headquarters in Cupertino, California, on Saturday, said that "Australia can't do it alone" when it came to protecting children from the dangers of the internet. "We're putting stronger rules in place to keep Australians safe online," he said. "And now, big tech companies like Apple are stepping up too." Albanese, who is also in the United States for the United Nations General Assembly, used his trip to call for stronger AI regulation after dire safety warnings from industry leaders.


People Are Pissed Off and Ready to Own Their Shit

WIRED

A grassroots live tour by YouTuber Louis Rossmann highlights growing resistance to companies that keep people from controlling their devices. The train blasts through right as Louis Rossmann starts to speak. This has happened several times already at the event he's hosting on a Friday night in San Jose, California. All the speakers before him patiently paused when the train on the nearby tracks roared by, its loud horn blaring, then resumed talking. But Rossmann is mid-sentence in his rapid-fire delivery about the topic he's fiercely passionate about, and he doesn't stop. He shouts over the train.

A Stealth Startup Thinks It Just Hacked the Memory Shortage

WIRED

Kepler Computing claims a new approach to chip design--and a proprietary material--can help end the supply bottlenecks that have sent memory prices surging. An ambitious chip startup that has spent more than seven years quietly trying to redesign the architecture for computer memory has just come out of stealth mode and believes its new approach can help ease the global memory-chip shortage --provided it can produce its technology at scale. Kepler Computing, a San Jose, California-based startup founded in 2018 by a team of physicists and computer scientists, says it has developed a new architecture for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) that directly addresses some of the chip supply bottlenecks that are constraining the computing market. While chipmakers typically rely on expensive extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) to shrink the transistors on a chip, thereby packing more technology into the same amount of space, Kepler claims that its "3D stacking" approach and a proprietary new material allow it to increase density without relying on EUV at all--and it can work with existing semiconductor fabrication plants. Kepler says it has made similar gains for the high-speed cache memory typically used in CPUs, GPUs, and XPUs.


Anthropic automatically signs out Claude users to protect them from hackers

Engadget

Stolen Claude logins have serious resale value at scale. Adam Meyers, senior vice president of counter adversary operations at CrowdStrike, told Axios in August that a trade has grown up around hijacked AI accounts, with criminals trafficking credentials for Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini. Meanwhile, findings by Palo Alto Networks' Unit 42 have traced hijacked accounts to proxy services known as transfer stations. These pool stolen credentials and resell access to AI services at a much lower cost than retail. Anthropic doesn't publish exact figures for its Claude usage limits, but every prompt has a compute cost, which the company absorbs when a stolen session is doing the prompting.


John Ternus succeeds Tim Cook as Apple CEO after 15 years

Al Jazeera

John Ternus has officially taken over as the chief executive officer of Apple, succeeding Tim Cook, who ended a 15-year tenure leading the tech giant. Ternus, who took the helm on Tuesday, had been serving as the senior vice president for hardware engineering at the Cupertino, California-based company since 2021. Ternus is an old hand at the company. He joined Apple's product design team in 2001 and climbed the ranks. He was appointed vice president of hardware engineering in 2013 and was promoted in 2021 to the senior vice president role that he has now moved up from.


Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Took a Call From Donald Trump in the Middle of an All-Hands

WIRED

The unexpected interruption came hours before the president wrote a congratulatory post on Truth Social about the company's most recent earnings report. US President Donald Trump listens as Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang speaks at the White House during an event on "Investing in America" on April 30, 2025 in Washington, DC. President Donald Trump interrupted Nvidia's all-hands staff meeting on Thursday morning when he called CEO Jensen Huang midway through, three sources who witnessed the interaction tell WIRED. Nvidia's all-hands meetings typically involve Huang presenting or answering questions, on stage, to in-person staff at the company's Santa Clara, California, headquarters, while thousands of remote employees tune in to a virtual livestream. During the meeting on Thursday, Huang received a call on his mobile phone, which he stepped aside to take.


AI professors are negotiating the new realities of academic research

MIT Technology Review

At a convening for the Schmidt Sciences AI2050 program, I saw how academic researchers are facing up to the challenges of the AI era. Last week, I headed 30 miles south of San Francisco to a hotel in Mountain View, California, to join some of the most accomplished, and some of the most promising, AI researchers in the world. I was hosting roundtable interviews and speaking at a media training for a convening of the Schmidt Sciences AI2050 program, an initiative funded by Eric and Wendy Schmidt that supports academics whose work involves AI. The fellows list is a who's who of AI luminaries, and though not all of them made it out to the Bay, every time I turned a corner I saw a scientist whom I'd interviewed previously or whose research I admired. It's a weird time for university AI researchers, who make up most of the AI2050 group. In the past four years, AI research has reoriented around large language models, and its cutting edge has moved from academic institutions to private companies.
