Sunday Ars Technica apologized for making Scott Shambaugh's week a little weirder. Last week Shambaugh learned an AI agent published a "hit piece" about him after he'd rejected the AI agent's pull request. (And that incident was covered by Ars Technica.)
But then Shambaugh realized their article attributed quotes to him he hadn't said — that were presumably AI-generated.
Sunday Ars Technica's founder/editor-in-chief admitted their article had indeed contained "fabricated quotations generated by an AI t

Всё началось с простой задачи: нужно было безопасно передавать файлы на обычных USB-флешках. Существующие решения либо создавали контейнеры (VeraCrypt), что неудобно для быстрого доступа к отдельным файлам на разных ОС, либо работали слишком сложно для конечного пользователя.Мне нужно было решение уровня «вставил флешку -> ввел пароль -> файлы зашифрованы». Но главное требование — безопасность данных даже при сбое питания. Если выдернуть флешку посередине шифрования, данные не должны превратиться в кашу.Так Read more ›

Как известно, наш язык определяет нашу картину мира. Все работает просто – если вокруг не падает пятьдесят видов снега каждый день, то мозг не будет напрягаться и придумывать эти самые слова. Чего нет в реальности, того нет в языке, чего нет в языке, того нет в реальности для конкретного народа, этим самым языком пользующимся. И именно поэтому изучение иностранного языка делает с нашим мозгом странное и прекрасное – помимо новых... Read more ›

На форум Digital Qazaqstan 2026 я пришел поснимать какое-нибудь видео без глянца с помощью своей старенькой Моторолы (не MPx220, чуть получше качеством), без конкретной цели заключать какие-то важнейшие или очень дорогие сердцу и кошельку контракты. Было интересно просто глянуть на происходящее с позиции изобретателя, врача и исследователя – оценить текущий срез технологий, посмотреть на стенды и послушать, куда движется весь Шымкент и СНГ и мир.
