Curl ending bug bounty program after flood of AI slop reports

The developer of the popular curl command-line utility and library announced that the project will end its HackerOne security bug bounty program at the end of this month, after being overwhelmed by low-quality AI-generated vulnerability reports.

The change was first discovered in a pending commit to curl’s BUG-BOUNTY.md documentation, which removes all references to the HackerOne program.

Once merged, the file will be updated to state that the curl project no longer offers any rewards for reported bugs or vulnerabilities and will not help researchers obtain compensation from third parties either.

CEO of Palantir Says AI Means You’ll Have to Work With Your Hands Like a Peasant

Wondering what your career looks like in our increasingly uncertain, AI-powered future? According to Palantir CEO Alex Karp, it’s going to involve less of the comfortable office work to which most people aspire, a more old fashioned grunt work with your hands.

Speaking at the World Economic Forum yesterday, Karp insisted that the future of work is vocational — not just for those already in manufacturing and the skilled trades, but for the majority of humanity.

In the age of AI, Karp told attendees at a forum, a strong formal education in any of the humanities will soon spell certain doom.

Yann LeCun joins Logical Intelligence as founding chair of research board for energy based AI reasoning

US-based artificial intelligence (AI) startup Logical Intelligence has appointed Yann LeCun, former chief AI scientist at Meta, as the founding chair of its Technical Research Board, the company announced on January 22.

LeCun, one of the world’s most influential AI researchers and a Turing Award winner, left Meta late last year to launch his own startup, Advanced Machine Intelligence Labs, focused on building “world models” that can understand and navigate the physical environment. His decision to join Logical Intelligence signals a growing interest in alternatives to large language models for high-risk, real-world systems.

The company, founded by Eve Bodnia, also announced its flagship reasoning engine, Kona 1.0. A live public demonstration of Kona has been released on the company’s website.

Neuropsychiatric symptoms in cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease: biomarker discovery using plasma proteomics

Placental toxicology progress!

Commonly used in vitro and in vivo placental models capture key placental functions and toxicity mechanisms, but have significant limitations.

The physiological relevance of placental models varies, with a general hierarchy of simple in vitro complex in vitro/ organ-on-chip in vivo, but species-of origin considerations may alter their relevance to human physiology.

Cellular, rodent, human, and computational modeling systems provide insights into placental transport, physiology, and toxicology linked to maternal–fetal health.

Recent advances in 3D culture and microfluidic technologies offer more physiologically relevant models for studying the placenta.

Mathematical modeling approaches can integrate mechanistic physiological data and exposure assessments to define key toxicokinetic parameters.

Environmental chemical concentrations and omic data obtained from placental tissues can link toxicant influences on placental function to adverse birth outcomes.

The Most Terrifying Alien Civilization Scenarios That Might Actually Be Real

This video explores alien societies capable of expanding across star systems, reshaping reality for efficiency, harvesting cosmic resources at unimaginable scales, or operating with forms of intelligence so detached from human values that our survival would barely register as a variable.

The 20 Largest Beings In All Of Fiction

What if I told you that Godzilla, planets, and even the universe itself aren’t anywhere near the biggest beings in fiction?

Across movies, anime, comics, mythology, and cosmic horror, there are aliens so massive that galaxies are decorations, universes are toys, and reality itself exists inside them.

In this video, we rank the 20 BIGGEST ALIENS EVER IN FICTION — strictly by SIZE, not power or popularity.
We start with continent-crushing monsters like Starro…
move through planet-eaters like Unicron and Galactus…
and end with omniversal entities so vast that everything you know exists within them.

From Norse mythology and Lovecraftian horror to Marvel, DC, anime, and sci-fi films, this list escalates FAST — and by the end, scale itself stops making sense.

👉 Which alien blew your mind the most?
Drop a comment, like the video, and subscribe for more insane size breakdowns, cosmic rankings, and fictional mega-structures.
