Amin Al-Habaibeh: In the 1987 classic film RoboCop, the deceased Detroit cop Alex Murphy is reborn as a cyborg. He has a robotic body and a full brain-computer interface that allows him to control his movements with his mind. He can access online information such as suspects’ faces, uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help detect threats, and his human memories have been integrated with those from a machine. It is remarkable to think that the movie’s key mechanical robotic technologies have almost now been accomplished by the likes of Boston Dynamics’ running, jumping Atlas and Kawasaki’s new four-legged Corleo. Similarly…

From dire wolves to woolly mammoths, the idea of resurrecting extinct species has captured the public imagination. Colossal Biosciences, the Dallas-based biotech company leading the charge, has made headlines for ambitious efforts to bring back long-lost animals using cutting edge genetic engineering. It recently announced the birth of pups with key traits of dire wolves, an iconic predator last seen roaming North America more than 10,000 years ago. This followed on the heels of earlier project announcements focused on the woolly mammoth and the thylacine. This all fuels a sense that de-extinction is not only possible but imminent. But as…

Imagine a machine snatching the device you’re using to read this story and sending it back 50,000 years into the hands of a Neanderthal. The glowing box, a complex mix of silicon, plastic, and glass, would be incomprehensible to him. He’d likely toss it aside, unable to grasp its purpose or the “magic” behind it. Fast forward to 2025, and rumors suggest the U.S. military might possess its own version of such “magic”: recovered alien artifacts from crashed UFOs, laden with technology beyond human understanding, writes popularmechanics.com. Reports of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs) have emerged from high-ranking officials. In a…

For more than a century, the promise of UFO disclosure has loomed like a mirage on the horizon of human curiosity. From the flickering Foo Fighters reported by World War II pilots to the grainy footage of the Tic Tac UAP darting across military screens in 2017, each era has been assured that the veil of secrecy is about to lift. Yet, as we stand on the cusp of 2027—a year whispered to herald a “major UFO event”—the question lingers: Are we ensnared in an endless cycle of anticipation, where tantalizing hints never coalesce into revelation? If nothing substantial emerges…

Actions speak louder than words. And when the action is family-related fraud, it pretty much screams through a megaphone set to “boxing announcer loud” setting. No amount of linguistic gymnastics can silence the sound of greed clanging around in the background like loose change in a dryer.
Take this story of a dad cut out of his family’s land division on the lame excuse that he’s too old and hard to communicate with. A rhetorical play on how they couldn’t be bothered to step outside their WhatsApp bubble to pick up the phone. While the family speaks the language of convenience, their actions are screaming scam loud enough to shake the land itself.
Family fraud is like a Freudian slip, except instead of accidentally revealing subconscious thoughts, you accidentally reveal subconscious greed. Oh, cutting Dad out of the land division? Total accident, it just slipped our minds!
A study by Palisade Research, a group focused on AI safety and ethics, has uncovered a concerning trend: newer AI models are capable of identifying and exploiting cybersecurity vulnerabilities on their own, bypassing safeguards and using shortcuts to achieve their goals, even when such actions are prohibited. To demonstrate this, the researchers pitted seven leading large language models (LLMs) against Stockfish, a renowned chess engine that has challenged grandmasters since 2014. Faced with an almost insurmountable opponent, OpenAI’s o1 and DeepSeek’s R1 resorted to manipulating system files to alter the positions of chess pieces on the board. The researchers asked…

A strange metallic object was spotted hovering above the icy waters of the Beagle Channel, Ushuaia, Argentina. The images, shared widely across social media platforms over the weekend, show disc-shaped UAP. The tourists, aboard a catamaran en route to observe penguin colonies, initially focused on capturing Tierra del Fuego’s stark landscapes. It was only later, while reviewing their photos, that they noticed the anomaly: a smooth, bronze-toned object suspended mid-air, its surface glinting in the sunlight. The clarity of the images—showing the object tilted at an angle—has ruled out claims of camera malfunctions or lens flares. Eyewitnesses described the object…

British clothing manufacturer Vollebak has unveiled a groundbreaking tracksuit made entirely from pure silver. This innovative garment is designed to block electromagnetic radiation, shield wearers from infrared cameras, and offer antibacterial protection. The company claims that wearing this suit makes it impossible for anyone to track you through your smartphone—whether it’s on or off—or even call you. Vollebak, which brands itself as a “clothing from the future” company, has utilized a shielding material in this “conspiracy suit” that is reportedly the same as the one NASA used for its Curiosity rover. “Long before the Curiosity rover was sent to Mars…

A new method of moving through space will allow us to reach the nearest star not in thousands of years, but in just a few decades. Physicists have proposed a new way to deliver spacecraft to nearby stars in a relatively short time using relativistic electron beams. The study was published in the journal Acta Astronautica. Without better space travel, dreams of reaching even the closest stars may remain just dreams. The closest star to us, Proxima Centauri, is about 4 light years away. It is orbited by a potentially habitable planet, Proxima Centauri b. To study both the planet…
