MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — Google has fired the engineer who claimed an unreleased AI system had become sentient, the company confirmed, saying he violated employment and data security policies, CNN reported.Blake Lemoine, a software engineer for Google, claimed that a conversation technology called LaMDA had reached a level of consciousness after exchanging thousands of messages with it.Google confirmed it had first put the engineer on leave in June. The company said it dismissed Lemoine’s “wholly unfounded” claims only after reviewing them extensively. He had reportedly been at Alphabet for seven years.

Now, researchers are taking a different approach, this time looking much closer to home for alien artifacts that might already be in our solar system. A new study published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society describes an innovative method for detecting potential extraterrestrial probes near Earth. Their innovative approach: to use Earth’s shadow as a natural filter to eliminate interference…

The return of the long-extinct wooly mammoth or dodo bird may sound like a storyline straight out of science fiction. It’s not.Several de-extinction projects all share an ambitious aim to resurrect disappeared species. Impossible to create an exact clone of these long-gone creatures, scientists instead modify the DNA of living animals to resemble extinct ones. This same technique is also used in last-ditch conservation interventions for imperiled animals, like modifying the genes of coral to withstand warmer oceans.The new science marches forward. The law can’t keep up. Wildlife conservationist turned legal scholar Alex Erwin constructs the legal framework to begin…

History repeats itself, and we have another prediction of the end times in 2025. Rumblings of the supposed Rapture are taking over the internet, ranging from fervent belief to healthy skepticism.Is the rapture happening on Sept. 23, 2025? Let’s dive a little deeper.What is the Rapture?No, we’re not talking about the seminal New York rock band. The rapture, in this case, is the belief held by some Christians that in the end times, all Christians, both dead and alive, will rise to heaven.COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere.

AUSTIN, Texas — The documentary The Age of Disclosure sets out to do what countless films have done before: present proof that humans on Earth are not alone in the universe. What’s different this time is that 34 senior members of the government, military and intelligence community went on camera to talk about it.“This is the biggest story there is,” director Dan Farah told Yahoo Entertainment. “What’s a bigger story than an 80-year-old cover-up of the existence of nonhuman intelligent life and revealing there’s a secret Cold War race among nations to reverse-engineer technology of nonhuman origin?”There’s a lot to…

Sentient, a San Francisco-based AI development lab backed by Peter Thiel’s Founder’s Fund, has unveiled its open-source AI search framework, positioning its work as a response to China’s DeepSeek.What Happened: Sentient released its Open Deep Search (ODS) framework, stating that it outperforms major closed-source competitors like OpenAI’s GPT-4o Search Preview and Perplexity Sonar Reasoning Pro, reported Decrypt.The nonprofit lab argues that its open-source approach challenges the growing control of AI by closed-source corporations. Its ODS achieved a 75.3% accuracy on the FRAMES benchmark, the company said.See Also: Elon Musk Says Tesla Doesn’t Need Lidar Because ‘People Don’t Shoot Lasers Out Of…

From implantable devices like pacemakers and brain interfaces to smart wearables, humans are fast becoming more cybernetic than we might realize. Implanted devices tend to have higher fidelity and functionality than wearables, but require extremely invasive surgery. Smart tech is lower-cost and easy to use, but can be uncomfortable while offering limited functionality. What if there was a middle ground, a set of technologies that allowed for the best of both worlds? Such solutions could enable people to achieve peak performance in a range of physical and mental activities, simplify ongoing health monitoring, and help those with mobility challenges control the devices…
