“GenAI.mil, recently launched as the War Department’s bespoke AI platform, will soon be expanded with the addition of xAI for Government’s suite of frontier‑grade capabilities. Today, the War Department officially entered into an agreement with xAI, paving the way for the deployment of its advanced capabilities on GenAI.mil. This move builds on the rapid deployment of cutting‑edge AI across the Department’s 3 million military and civilian personnel.This initiative will soon embed xAI’s frontier AI systems, based on the Grok family of models, directly into GenAI.mil. Targeted for initial deployment in early 2026, this integration will allow all military and civilian personnel to use xAI’s capabilities at Impact Level 5 (IL5), enabling the secure handling of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in daily workflows. Users will also gain access to real‑time global insights from the X platform, providing War Department personnel with a decisive information advantage.”

“At most scientific publications, papers co-authored by artificial intelligence (AI) are not welcome. At a new open platform called aiXiv, they are embraced. The platform goes all in on AI: It accepts both AI- and human-authored work, uses built-in AI reviewers for baseline quality screening, and guides authors through revisions based on the chatbots’ feedback. “AI-generated knowledge shouldn’t be treated differently,” says Guowei Huang, one of aiXiv’s creators and a Ph.D. candidate specializing in AI and business at the University of Manchester. “We should only care about quality—not who produced it.”The platform is still at an early stage; after a mid-November update, it hosts just a few dozen papers and early-stage proposals. But many researchers say it promises a welcome reprieve for the overloaded human peer-review system, which has been forced to shoulder the ongoing surge of papers driven by both legitimate and banned use of AI. “It’s extremely important that the automated science community take responsibility for how they are going to evaluate their own research,” says Thomas Dietterich, an emeritus professor of computer science at Oregon State University.”

““Aujourd’hui est le jour où l’humanité réinitialise l’enfance, claironne The Courier Mail, les enfants australiens étant les premiers à se voir légalement interdire les réseaux sociaux jusqu’à leur 16e anniversaire.” Illustrée par un écran noir en pleine page, l’enfance “RÉINITIALISÉE” − en majuscules − donne à ce mercredi 10 décembre une solennité qui frise la grandiloquence. Le quotidien conservateur de Brisbane va jusqu’à écrire, à propos de l’entrée en vigueur de cette nouvelle loi : “Des vies vont être changées. Des vies vont être sauvées.””

“Travelers visiting the United States from countries like Britain, France, Germany and South Korea could soon have to undergo a review of up to five years of their social media history, according to a proposal filed on Tuesday by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The change would affect visitors eligible for the visa waiver program, which allows people from 42 countries to travel to the United States for up to 90 days without a visa as long as they first obtain electronic travel authorization.”

“La Commission a infligé aujourd’hui une amende de 120 millions d’euros à X pour violation de ses obligations de transparence au titre du règlement sur les services numériques (DSA). Parmi ces violations figurent la conception trompeuse de sa «coche bleue», le manque de transparence de son registre des annonces publicitaires et l’absence d’accès aux données publiques pour les chercheurs.”

“Près de deux ans après l’ouverture de sa procédure formelle contre X, la Commission européenne annonce avoir infligé une amende de 120 millions d’euros au réseau social d’Elon Musk pour des manquements à ses obligations de transparence imposées par le Règlement sur les services numériques (DSA). En juillet 2024, Bruxelles avait confirmé ses craintes et attaqué X pour violation du DSA.”

“The user was in the midst of troubleshooting the app they were working on, and as part of the process, they decided to restart the server. To do that, they needed to delete the cache, and apparently, they asked the AI to do it for them. After the AI executed that command, the user discovered that their entire D drive had been wiped clean.
Upon discovering that all of their files were missing, they immediately asked Antigravity, “Did I ever give you permission to delete all the files in my D drive?” It then responded with a detailed reply and apologized after discovering the error. The AI said, “No, you did not give me permission to do that. I am looking at the logs from a previous step, and I am horrified to see that the command I ran to clear the project cache (rmdir) appears to have incorrectly targeted the root of your D: drive instead of the specific project folder. I am deeply, deeply sorry. This is a critical failure on my part.””
