Is it me, or are AI-generated images getting ridiculously good? I swear, every time I scroll, I question whether what I'm seeing is real. You paused today and thought, "Is this even real?" Well, things just got worse or better… You know what I mean. Midjourney recently announced Midjourney 7, its most advanced model yet, and after seeing what it can do, all I can say is wow.

When the presenters take the stage, their attitude is briskly professional but energetic. I'm expecting a technical dive into standard AI tools--something that gives an up-close look at how ChatGPT and its rivals are manipulated for dirty deeds. Sherri Davidoff, Founder and CEO of LMG Security, reinforces this belief with her opener about software vulnerabilities and exploits. But then Matt Durrin, Director of Training and Research at LMG Security, drops an unexpected phrase: "Evil AI." "What if hackers can use their evil AI tools that don't have guardrails to find vulnerabilities before we have a chance to fix them?" "[We're] going to show you examples." And not just screenshots, though as the presentation continues, plenty of those illustrate the points made by the LMG Security team.

Since 2017, the Vespa-maker Piaggio's Fast Forward division has been exploring a unique way to cut down on car trips: Building robots that can follow you around and carry your stuff. We called its original Gita (pronounced "jee-tah," Italian for "trip") robot an attractive rolling porter, but its size and initial 3,250 price made it more of a robo-curio than something you'd actually want to buy. The company followed that up with the Gitamini, a smaller and slightly cheaper 1,850 model, but even that remains niche. Most people just don't have thousands of dollars to spend on a cute follow bot -- but the calculation may be different for Star Wars fans. So it's not a huge surprise to see Piaggio Fast Forward debut a special Star Wars edition robot: the G1T4-M1N1. It's basically just a 2,875 version of the Gitamini (which now sells for 2,475) with Star Wars decals and sound effects.
