How big tech got its way on Trump's AI executive order The US president's reversal on calling for a safety review of new AI models is a green light for tech's unchecked power Only hours before Donald Trump was set to sign a long-awaited executive order on Thursday that would have called for a government safety review of new artificial intelligence models before their release, the president abruptly backed out . Despite growing public backlash to the technology and experts warning new models will pose critical security risks, Trump vowed the US government would not slow down the AI race. During a meeting with reporters on Thursday, Trump cited both American dominance and competition with China and as his reasoning behind the reversal.

Don't miss these vacuum deals happening over the holiday weekend. Shopping for a Dyson vacuum is an experience. There are many models to navigate and serious price tags on most of them. As someone who tests vacuums for a living, I have to admit that a Dyson blows most other vacuums away. There are a few cheaper models I'll still grab (check out my full guide to cordless and robot vacuums for more recommendations), but if you're dreaming of a Dyson, this weekend is a great time to buy.

The company has published an update about Project Glasswing, a month after its launch. Anthropic has published an initial report for Project Glasswing, the cybersecurity initiative it launched in April that aims to prevent AI cyberattacks with, well, AI. The initiative is powered by Claude Mythos Preview, the company's unreleased model, which Anthropic says has already helped its partners find more than ten thousand vulnerabilities overall just a month after Glasswing's launch. In addition, it says most of its partners have each found hundreds of critical-or high-severity vulnerabilities in their software using the model. The company said that its partners' rate of bug-finding has increased by more than a factor of ten.

A French woman and her partner will remain in custody after allegedly abandoning her two young boys on a roadside in the south of Portugal, a court has ruled.

A judge subsequently ordered the pair be placed in pre-trial detention, French and Portuguese media report.

'You can't control everything': the rise in plastic surgeons asked to create'AI face' Growing numbers of people are seeking improbable cosmetic surgery based on chatbots' recommendations Plastic surgeons are increasingly concerned about the rise of "AI face", as more and more clients arrive in their offices with unrealistic AI-generated visions of what they want to look like. Dr Nora Nugent, a cosmetic surgeon from Tunbridge Wells, has seen this first hand. Clients have started coming to her office with photos of themselves beautified by AI and a false expectation that those results are achievable with surgery. She is also the president of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, and says many colleagues are having similar experiences. "I can only predict an increase, given the rate AI has been incorporated into every aspect of life," she said.

Quantum'Jamming' Could Help Unlock the Mysteries of Causality To keep communications secure in a post-quantum world, cryptographers are digging down into the concept of cause and effect. For the past few decades, researchers have understood that quantum computers should eventually be able to crack the widely used codes that secure much of the digital world. To protect against this fate, they've spent years developing new codes that appear to be safe from future safecrackers armed with quantum computers. At the same time, they've also devised ingenious ways to use the rules of quantum mechanics to keep communications secure. But quantum mechanics, just like the "classical" mechanics that preceded it, is just a theory of nature.

Plus: Google publishes a live exploit for an unpatched flaw, the feds arrest two men accused of creating thousands of nonconsensual deepfake nudes, and more.

A fascinating, unclassifiable orb found in the Gulf of Alaska is not an alien object, as some speculated, but the remains of a poorly documented animal. A golden orb found on the ocean floor. Three years ago, during an expedition at the bottom of the Gulf of Alaska, a submarine detected a golden orb that contrasted with surrounding rocks. Its smooth, organic surface did not resemble that of any known animal; the team immediately retrieved it for study. Now, at last, we know what it was.
