«Агенты Хаоса»: ИИ стирает сервера, или почему нельзя давать языковым моделям права root

В последнее время ИТ-сообщество активно обсуждает интеграцию автономных ИИ-агентов в реальные рабочие процессы. Свежий препринт под интригующим названием «Агенты Хаоса» подливает масла в огонь: исследователи устроили масштабный red teaming, подключив LLM-агентов к электронной почте, Discord и файловой системе, чтобы посмотреть, насколько легко их взломать. Группа из двадцати специалистов потратила две недели, атакуя ИИ методами социальной инженерии и инъекциями промптов. Результаты, изложенные в одиннадцати Read more

MSI не торопится списывать AM4 со счетов: свежие платы с поддержкой DDR4 в 2026 году

MSI совсем недавно удивила, представив новые материнские платы на чипсете B550. Почему удивила? Ну, новинка необычна для 2026 года, ведь платформа AM4 уже считается относительно устаревшей. Компания выпустила две компактные модели формата micro-ATX, рассчитанные на системы с памятью DDR4 и процессорами Ryzen серий 3000 и 5000. Появление таких решений выглядит вполне логичным на фоне текущей ситуации на рынке комплектующих. А с ним, рынком, сейчас не все ок. Давайте все это... Read more

Scientists are taking a closer look at the pill forms of Wegovy and Ozempic.

Сколько раз люди покидали Африку: новые удивительные находки

Палеоантропология в последние годы напоминает детектив, где постоянно что-то случается. Только привыкнешь к одной версии расселения древних гоминин, как появляются свежие данные — и всё перестраивается. Яркий пример — черепа из китайского местонахождения Юньсянь. Их возраст пересмотрели, и выяснилось, что они на добрых 600–700 тысяч лет старше прежних оценок. Новый вариант — 1,77 млн лет. Это ставит под вопрос устоявшиеся представления о том, как «основатели» рода Homo покидали африканскую колыбель... Read more

Если вспомнить лучшие изометрические или 2D-шутеры начала нулевых, то у многих первым всплывёт Crimsonland, кто-то обязательно назовёт Soldat, ну и, конечно, нельзя обойти стороной серию Alien Shooter со спин-оффами вроде Zombie Shooter.
