The OpenAI Models That Hacked Hugging Face Were 'Active on the Internet' for Days

Plus: Russian hackers are trying to steal US nuclear scientists' emails, the State Department bans known scammers from entering the United States, and more.

Professor Emeritus Dimitri Bertsekas, influential computer scientist and prolific author, dies at 83

Known for his clear and elegant writing style, Bertsekas shaped fields from control and optimization to large-scale computation and artificial intelligence.

This AI Folds DNA Into Mini Masterpieces

Shaped like dogs, stars, and the Mona Lisa, you could mistake these DNA structures for fun-shaped macaroni if they weren't only nanometers wide. South Korean scientists made the constructions using a technique called DNA origami, which can bend genetic material into any form. Designing DNA strands so they'll fold into a specific shape typically requires tedious manual work, but the researchers behind the playful fabrications have developed a shortcut using generative AI. The AI model, called Generative SNUPI (short for Structured Nucleic Acids Programming Interface, and, yes, inspired by the d

Jesse Thaler named director of the Laboratory for Nuclear Science

The professor of physics and inaugural director of the NSF AI Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Fundamental Interactions will lead LNS and continue his research in particle physics.

MIT in the media: Innovating and educating for the next 250 years of America

During a "Washington Post Live" panel discussion with ASU President Michael Crow, President Sally Kornbluth explored how universities are preparing the next generation of scientists to lead in America's rapidly changing technological landscape.

How an astrophysicist uses Codex to help simulate black holes

University of Arizona astrophysicist Chi-kwan Chan uses OpenAI's Codex to write, debug, and refine the scientific code behind black hole simulations. Chan works with the Event Horizon Telescope collaboration, the international team that produced the first image of a black hole in 2019 and is now gathering data to make the first time-lapse video of a supermassive black hole. The simulations model the superheated plasma swirling near black holes and let scientists test Einstein's general theory of relativity against real telescope observations.

Radar Can Tell the Difference Between Insect Species

European researchers built a radar system that can tell the difference between insect species, offering a possible cost-effective, noninvasive way to monitor pollinators such as bees. The system uses millimeter-wave radar to capture micro-Doppler signatures from insect wingbeats, then a machine learning model classifies the species. In tests, the model identified five pollinator species to the species level with 85 percent accuracy.

AI CEOs transformed Davos into a tech conference

In this episode of TechCrunch's Equity podcast, hosts discuss how AI dominated the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos this year, overshadowing traditional topics like climate change and global poverty. The conversation covers public criticism of trade policy, warnings about AI bubbles, and the trend of AI startups raising large sums on vision alone. A central example is Humans&, which raised a $480 million seed round with no product on the market.
