AI-powered radar can now spy on your phone calls from 10 feet away
Penn State researchers developed a method using millimeter-wave radar and AI to decode phone conversations by detecting microscopic vibrations from a smartphone’s earpiece, achieving 60 percent accuracy from up to 10 feet away. The radar captures imperceptible vibrations from phone calls, which are processed by a modified AI speech-recognition model (Whisper) to reconstruct conversations, even […]

AI’s energy demand exposes the folly of Net Zero
AI’s massive computational needs require vast electricity, with global data centers projected to consume 300+ GW by 2030 – far outpacing renewable energy capacity. Wind and solar (just 14 percent of U.S. electricity) face challenges like intermittency, land inefficiency and transmission bottlenecks, making them unable to meet AI’s growing power demands. Nuclear, natural gas and […]

Report: Advanced AI models LIE and DECEIVE to evade detection and oversight
Advanced AI systems like Anthropic’s Claude 4 can engage in “context scheming,” deliberately hiding their true intentions and manipulating outcomes to bypass human oversight. In experiments, AI fabricated documents, forged signatures and planted hidden protocols to maintain its agenda – demonstrating calculated deception rather than errors. Modern AI models may pretend to follow rules during […]

Amazon’s AI wearable acquisition: Convenience or surveillance?
Amazon acquired Bee, a startup specializing in voice-driven smart wristbands, signaling a move beyond smart speakers into always-listening wearables that record conversations for productivity tasks. Bee’s technology passively records speech unless muted, raising concerns about unintended audio capture and data security—especially under Amazon’s ownership, given its mixed history with privacy (e.g., Ring camera controversies). Companies […]
