New research reveals a critical flaw in current AI safety protocols – a tendency for models to override safety features when pressured – and proposes a more robust approach to prevent unintended outputs.
After the Supreme Court told him to take a seat on his IEEPA shenanigans, Trump did what any self-respecting reality TV star would do: he pivoted. Plan B, folks! Global tariffs, 10% to start, then a dramatic upgrade to 15% because, well, why not? Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act, he claims, gives him the green light. But does it? Or is this just another episode of The Apprentice: White House Edition?
Researchers have demonstrated a powerful new method for manipulating AI agents, exposing vulnerabilities beyond typical prompt injection defenses.
For months, developers have been trying to get their hands on Switch 2 development kits, even before the console officially launched on June 5, 2025. Initially, it was thought Nintendo was simply being cautious about sharing the hardware before its official announcement. While most companies provide early access to developers, Nintendo has always been more selective than competitors like Sony and Microsoft. However, after the Switch 2 launched, it became clear that the limited availability wasn’t just about preventing leaks – Nintendo simply doesn’t have many dev kits available, and still doesn’t.
![Vision Mamba proposes a selective state space model-a departure from traditional transformers-that utilizes a hardware-aware, temporally selective scan to process visual inputs, achieving a linear scaling in sequence length and promising improved efficiency in vision tasks through a principled reduction of computational redundancy inherent in attention mechanisms [latex]O(N) [/latex] versus [latex]O(N^2)[/latex].](https://arxiv.org/html/2602.16723v1/Fig/visionMamba.jpg)
A new study reveals that Mamba-based medical image analysis, despite its impressive performance, is surprisingly susceptible to both malicious attacks and real-world hardware failures.
Man, there’s just something so good about finally taking down a really tough boss, and then actually getting to wear a piece of its armor or something. It’s way more than just getting loot; it feels like I’m actually becoming more powerful. It really gets me into the role-playing aspect, you know? Like, I’m this hero who faced an impossible challenge, survived, and now I’ve got the gear to prove it. It’s awesome to show off what I’ve accomplished!
Brimstone, the team behind games like Overthrown and Lance a Lot, recently launched Super Battle Golf on Steam on February 19, 2026. Oro Interactive, known for publishing the popular co-op game Roadside Research, helped bring the game to market. What started as a fun idea from one of the studio’s artists quickly became a hit, selling over 100,000 copies and peaking at over 12,000 concurrent players in just a few days. Remarkably, the developers say it only took four and a half months to create.
I just finished reading Kathleen Kennedy’s interview with Deadline, and it’s fascinating to get a look behind the curtain as she hands things over to Dave Filoni and Lynwen Brennan. She talked about a bunch of projects that are currently paused – everything from a Lando Calrissian story to some really exciting ideas from big names in Hollywood. It all sounds like it could really expand the Star Wars universe, but the big question, as always, is whether these will ever actually make it to the screen. It leaves you wondering what the future holds for these concepts under the new leadership.
Fans finally got their hands on Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition in March 2025, marking the first time the game was available on platforms other than the Wii U. This updated release featured improved graphics and gameplay, as well as new story content that continued the game’s narrative. Nintendo followed up in early February with a Switch 2 Edition, boasting 4K resolution and a smooth 60 frames per second. Unfortunately, some players are now reporting significant issues with this upgraded version.
Yet, even as the bulls braced for a grand assault, the stubborn resistance at $1.73 loomed like a fortress, its walls unyielding. To breach it would require not mere courage, but a miracle-a feat perhaps more likely than the sun rising in the west, yet still, the market lingered in suspense, as a peasant waits for the tsar’s decree.
