Ask a large language model (LLM) like GPT-4 to smell a rain-soaked campsite, and it'll politely decline. Ask the same system to describe that scent to you, and it'll wax poetic about "an air thick with anticipation" and "a scent that is both fresh and earthy," despite having neither prior experience with rain nor a nose to help it make such observations. One possible explanation for this phenomenon is that the LLM is simply mimicking the text present in its vast training data, rather than working with any real understanding of rain or smell.

Digital wallets—like Apple Pay, Google Pay and PayPal—are projected to be used by more than 5.3 billion people by 2026. While these wallets promote increased security over traditional payment methods, reliance on outdated authentication methods and prioritizing convenience over security leaves digital wallets vulnerable, according to new research led by computer engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

Chinese internet giant Tencent announced on Wednesday an 82 percent surge in second-quarter net profit, its biggest jump since late 2020, after a resurgence in its gaming business.

From data breaches to widespread systemic shutdowns, cyberattacks like the 2024 Fulton County (Georgia) government attack now occur as regularly as natural disasters—and cause just as much destruction. And, like severe weather, they can be predicted thanks to a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool that analyzes social media to determine who could cause the next big cyberattack.
