The fingerprinting signal could strengthen anti-bot detection and make browser spoofing much harder. Brainstem atlas maps cells - Scientists released Anchor, a high-resolution brainstem atlas linking MRI-scale views to individual cells. The resource could support research on Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, stroke, SIDS, and neurosurgical planning. China doubles down on AGI - After a sharp stock drop, Zhipu told staff it will prioritize foundational model research and AGI over short-term revenue. The move, alongside open-sourcing GLM-5.2, highlights China's intensifying AI competition. AI use shifts to intent - A growing view in AI says users should describe outcomes instead of step-by-step instructions. As model quality converges for everyday tasks, value may shift toward product design, privacy, and integrations rather than raw model strength. Generative AI becomes security risk - New reporting shows extremist groups are using generative AI for operational help, including attack planning and weapon modification. At the same time, major AI firms warn that rivals are probing their systems for model distillation and capability copying. Reusable rockets gain momentum - China recove…
