Google introduces Advanced Protection mode for its most at-risk Android users
Google is adding a new security setting to Android to provide an extra layer of resistance against attacks that infect devices, tap calls traveling through insecure carrier networks, and deliver scams through messaging services. On Tuesday, the company unveiled the Advanced Protection mode, most of which will be rolled out in the upcoming release of Android 16. The setting comes as mercenary malware sold by NSO Group and a cottage industry of other exploit sellers continues to thrive.
Anthropic, Google score win by nabbing OpenAI-backed Harvey as a user
Popular legal AI tool Harvey will now be using leading foundation models from Anthropic and Google, moving beyond strictly using OpenAI’s, Harvey announced in a blog post on Tuesday. This is noteworthy because Harvey is one of the OpenAI Startup Fund’s most successful early-backed portfolio companies. The OpenAI Startup Fund is an OpenAI-associated fund to back companies developing products on top of AI technologies, primarily OpenAI’s own. While Harvey says it’s not abandoning OpenAI, merely adding more models and clouds, this is still a huge coup for OpenAI’s big competitors....
Tesla tells Model Y and Cybertruck workers to stay home for Memorial Day week as sales drop
Tesla has instructed workers on its Model Y and Cybertruck production lines at its Austin gigafactory to stay home for the entire Memorial Day week.

Employees also told Business Insider that they have had to deal with erratic schedules since February, with...
Some of Silicon Valley’s most prominent schools have ditched Honors classes in the name of equity — but it’s a terrible idea
Palo Alto schools are doing away with Honors courses in the latest assault on equity. Starting in September, freshmen will no longer have the option of taking a more rigorous Honors Biology class. Instead, the district will have one “foundational” course. The Palo Alto Unified School District voted in January to nix the advanced class after an hours-long debate with dozens of concerned members of the public in attendance. Honors English has already been sidelined. Proponents argue that “de-laning” — removing different “lanes” for students based on achievement — will...
Noncoders are using AI to prompt their ideas into reality. They call it ‘vibe coding.’
The aspiring app developers of today no longer have to be fluent in coding. Instead, many are describing apps into existence using plain English. In a world increasingly fueled by the rapid advancement of generative artificial intelligence, user-friendly large language models like ChatGPT and Claude are now able to transform plain-language requests into working computer code, enabling novice programmers to cobble together programs that would otherwise be above their pay grade.

This Week's GQuuuuuuX Was for a Slightly Different Kind of Gundam Sicko
It’s been clear since we first heard about the premise for Gundam GQuuuuuuX that it was a series being developed by creatives with an unyielding, loveably fannish reverence for the original 1979 anime that started it all. But this week as the series hit its halfway turning point—and ramped up its stakes significantly—GQuuuuuuX also revealed that it’s also being made by people who are fans of another Gundam show. “The Plot to Assassinate Kycilia,” GQuuuuuuX‘s sixth episode, sees young protagonist Machu assailed on multiple fronts, as pressure from her school...
Bitcoin Treasury Exposure Goes Mainstream As Coinbase Soars On Joining The S&P 500
