Meta is about to go on trial in New Mexico, accused of not doing enough to protect kids from sexual exploitation on its platforms. As the court date gets closer, Meta’s lawyers are working hard to limit what can be used against the company in court.  According to public records reviewed by Wired, the company wants to block research about social media’s impact on youth mental health, stories about teen suicides linked to social media, any mention of Meta’s finances, the company’s past privacy violations, and even things about CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s college years. These efforts are part of a…

Unit 42, the threat intelligence team at Palo Alto Networks, published new research showing how criminals now use large language models to build phishing attacks inside a victim’s browser. The research explains that attackers no longer need to send ready made phishing emails or host obvious fake login pages. In this method, a webpage first looks harmless. It loads with no visible malicious code and no links linked to crime. Once the page opens inside a browser, it makes a request to a trusted LLM service and asks for code that will later act as a phishing page. Unit 42…

With Americans increasingly anxious about how AI could harm mental health, jobs, and the environment, public demand for regulation is growing. If Congress stays paralyzed, states will be the only ones acting to keep the AI industry in check. In 2025, state legislators introduced more than 1,000 AI bills, and nearly 40 states enacted over 100 laws, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Efforts to protect children from chatbots may inspire rare consensus. On January 7, Google and Character Technologies, a startup behind the companion chatbot Character.AI, settled several lawsuits with families of teenagers who killed themselves after…

Organic chemistry relies on long established rules that describe how atoms connect, how chemical bonds form, and how molecules take shape. These principles guide how scientists understand reactions and predict molecular behavior. While many of these rules are treated as fixed truths, researchers at UCLA are showing that chemistry has more flexibility than once believed. In 2024, a research group led by UCLA chemist Neil Garg overturned Bredt’s rule, a principle that had stood for more than a century. The rule states that molecules cannot form a carbon-carbon double bond at the “bridgehead” position (the ring junction of a bridged…
