A sudden flash flood in Phoenix left an advanced self-driving car hopelessly trapped in a dangerous AI loop. Recent footage captured a Waymo autonomous vehicle stranded for over ten minutes on a flooded street. Witnesses reported that the vehicle struggled to process the water obstruction, causing it to repeatedly reverse and edge forward. During this erratic movement, the robotaxi nearly backed into another car while human drivers managed to carefully navigate around the hazard. This incident follows previous weather disruptions for the company, which recently had to suspend its driverless taxi operations in several other cities after vehicles drove into submerged streets. While autonomous technology continues to expand, this near miss raises immediate questions regarding software safeguards during intense rain. Will autonomous vehicles ever be fully equipped to handle unpredictable extreme weather conditions safely?

The global data center boom driven by AI could triple annual discarded electronics over the next 25 years, according to a Basel Action Network report. The group estimates that AI-related hardware waste could fill enough shipping containers to circle the Earth six times. The report says 4,871 new data centers are in the US construction pipeline, many of them expected to support AI. Its estimates include discarded servers as well as the copper, steel, concrete, cooling, networking, power, and storage equipment needed to run them.

This good boy got a drone spa treatment. Chinese tech company conducted a public street demonstration of its newly developed drone. Originally engineered to clean solar panels using a specialized water jet, the device was put to the test on a highly unconventional subject: a local dog. The drone hovered just above street level, directing its steady stream of water over the animal. Rather than being spooked by the heavy-duty machinery, the canine remained completely calm and appeared to thoroughly enjoy the improvised shower. By swapping a solar array for a willing pet, the demonstration humorously highlighted the drone's precision, effectively turning industrial equipment into a flying grooming salon. Media: NEXTA

Anthropic says it disrupted several malicious uses of Claude, including cyber-espionage, weapons development, and mass surveillance. In one case, the company says it blocked an effort in northern Yemen to use Claude for missile guidance software, including systems for a guided rocket and a long-range ballistic missile. According to Anthropic’s threat report, the operators used Claude as a substitute for human software engineers, assigning different model instances to write missile-guidance and flight-control code. Anthropic said its safeguards blocked many of the requests, but some still got through. (Source: Reuters) Subscribe to our newsletter: https://cnews.link/newsletter-7/

Balatro looks like poker on first impression, but is actually a notoriously tricky strategy game where players lay cards of powerful scores, making combinations with Jokers in the process. There is a particularly difficult, unlockable edition named Black Deck, which makes it super challenging for players to manipulate their cards, as there are frequent penalties involved. The challenge becomes particularly nasty on Black Deck because the player gets an extra Joker slot but loses one hand every round, cutting down the opportunities to score, build their economy, and manipulate their deck.

At the 2026 World Robot Conference in Beijing, UBTECH is drawing massive crowds with its latest lineup of hyper-realistic humanoid robots: the UWORLD U1 Series. While this year's event heavily focused on practical, factory-ready machines moving away from pure spectacle, UBTECH’s lifelike humanoids, designed specifically for emotional care and companionship, are still stealing the show. These advanced models feature highly detailed biomimetic silicone skin, engineered to perfectly replicate the texture and appearance of human skin. To mimic natural human interaction, the U1 robots hold dynamic, emotionally aware conversations, seamlessly displaying a wide range of facial expressions, rotating their necks, and articulating their hands during speech. According to UBTECH, these companion bots are already available to individual buyers, with the full-body U1 Pro model priced around 168,000 yuan (roughly $24,000). The release signals a major industry shift toward bringing embodied AI and interactive companions directly into the consumer market. Would you invest in a hyper-realistic robot companion for your home, or is the technology still too uncanny for comfort? Let us know in the comments.

Can Google be the most trustworthy AI company? Let's find out. Welcome to Part 2 of our new AI Trust series, where we explore the 2026 AI Trustworthiness Ranking. We evaluated 500 AI companies across 36 countries to determine how responsibly they operate and govern their AI models. The methodology is straightforward. Each company is given a Trustworthiness Score from 0 to 100 based on publicly available data across four key pillars: Security: How well the company publicly demonstrates its security practices and measures. Data Privacy: How clearly the company's policies explain what data is collected, how long it is retained, and whether user data is used to train their AI models. Organizational Transparency: Whether the company discloses its legal entity, location, and contact information. Public Perception: How the company is viewed by the public and its overall reputation. In this video we explore Top 5 US AI Trustworthiness Leaders together with Top 5 companies with lowest scores. Stay tuned for Part 3 of the series and head to http://cybernews.com for the full ranking.

Meta is facing a landmark trial in Oakland, California, brought by four US states: California, Colorado, New Jersey, and Kentucky. The case could reshape how platforms like Facebook and Instagram are designed. Former Meta safety engineer Arturo Béjar testified this week in a landmark trial against the company. He told the jury that Meta knew its platforms were exposing children to harmful content, including sexual predators and violent imagery, but took little action despite repeated internal warnings. Béjar said Meta followed a “don’t ask, don’t tell” approach to child safety data, with leadership preferring not to document answers that could reveal the scale of the problem. He also testified that he emailed Zuckerberg in 2021 with internal survey data showing far more harmful content on Instagram than Meta publicly acknowledged. Internal figures suggested 51% of users encountered harmful content weekly, while Meta’s official teen exposure rate was just 0.01–0.02% - a gap Béjar said could be 100 to 400 times larger. Former Meta engineering director was the first witness called in a federal trial brought by 29 US state attorneys general. They accuse Meta of deliberately designing addictive products that harmed young users and of collecting data from children under 13 without parental consent, allegedly violating federal and state laws.

A man dressed as Darth Vader appeared before the San Diego City Council on Wednesday to defend Flock cameras, joking that “this is what the emperor needs.” The man addressed the Public Safety and Livable Neighborhoods Committee in full Darth Vader costume, complete with the character’s signature breathing. Council members even referred to him as “Darth Vader.” He said the cameras should track “rebel scum” moving between playgrounds, pools, and gyms, while also criticizing Flock for surveillance that can follow children. He ended by calling on Flock cameras to “help us find Luke Skywalker” as he travels the universe in his X-wing. San Diego signed a one-year deal late last year giving police access to open-source intelligence and data from other law enforcement agencies, Axios reported. The city also has more than 550 Flock cameras, according to the DeFlock tracking map. (Source: PC Gamer) Subscribe to our newsletter: https://cnews.link/newsletter-7/

During a training session for the upcoming 2nd World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, a bipedal robot suffered a severe hardware failure after losing control on an indoor track. Footage of the incident shows the machine, identified as a Unitree H1 model, accelerating at high speeds before failing to brake near the finish line. The robot collided with a safety cushion, causing its frame to buckle sharply at the waist as sparks erupted from the machine. The 2026 World Humanoid Robot Games, scheduled for August 22–26, are set to feature over 2,000 robots from 666 international teams competing in various athletic events. While these machines continue to demonstrate impressive strides in speed and mobility, crashes like this highlight the ongoing engineering hurdles of maintaining balance, reliable braking, and control under physical stress.

"Pervert glasses" controversy grows after harassment of 'Philomena Cunk' star Diane Morgan During a shoot at the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a man wearing the smart glasses approached the actress, asking for her phone number while filming her without her consent. When the production crew stepped in to ask for space, the situation quickly escalated into a tense confrontation. While the uploader framed the footage as a harmless attempt at flirting, the incident has poured fuel on the ongoing debate over privacy, consent, and the ethics of wearable tech. Critics are increasingly dubbing the devices "pervert glasses" following a surge of men using them to secretly record women in public spaces. A recent BBC investigation uncovered hundreds of non-consensual videos filmed by influencers using smart glasses to create predatory "pick-up" tutorials that publicly humiliate women. Although Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses feature an LED light to warn bystanders of active recording, privacy advocates point out that users frequently bypass this using easily accessible blocker covers. Organizations like the UK’s Good Law Project have gone as far as calling the wearables an "invasive, high-tech surveillance nightmare." As public backlash grows, lawmakers are stepping in. The California Senate is currently reviewing a bill that would penalize the non-consensual use of smart glasses in areas where people have a reasonable expectation of privacy, and make disabling the device's LED recording indicator a misdemeanor. What are your thoughts on the ethics of smart glasses? Do we need stricter laws to protect public privacy? Let us know in the comments below. Media: special_kram on TikTok

Does this robot need a timeout, or a reboot? During the 2026 World Robot Conference in Beijing, a humanoid robot was filmed flat on its back, frantically kicking its legs in what looks exactly like a toddler throwing a tantrum. This is a live example of a technical glitch. When a robot's spatial sensors fail or its software gets trapped in a movement loop, it can continuously fire its leg motors trying to "walk," even while lying entirely on the floor. Do you think highlighting these glitches helps make the public more comfortable with advanced robotics, or does it make people more skeptical of the technology? Let us know in the comments.

A 77-year-old Florida man named Carl Gunn has taken an unusual approach to protesting a Flock camera in his neighborhood. Rather than damaging the device, he uses a 12-foot pool skimmer with a “DOWN WITH FLOCK CAMERAS” sign attached to the end to block the camera’s view. Police confirmed the protest is legal because Gunn stays on public property and does not touch the camera equipment. (Source: WUSF) Subscribe to our newsletter: https://cnews.link/newsletter-7/

Flock, best known for its roadside license plate cameras now used in more than 6,000 US communities, says its Drone as First Responder program has become the company’s fastest-growing business. The drones are stored in climate-controlled rooftop docks, often on police or fire department buildings, and can be automatically dispatched to 911 calls before officers arrive. The company’s Alpha drone can also read license plates from up to 2,000 feet away, effectively turning it into a flying version of Flock’s roadside surveillance cameras. Flock says its drone program already has more than 200 customers, including police departments and private companies. The expansion has raised privacy concerns, with critics warning that drones could observe people through windows, in backyards, or on rooftops without their knowledge. Flock says the drones are only deployed for calls for service and that every flight is logged, auditable, and visible through a public transparency dashboard.

A leak suggests Apple is working on AirPods with built-in cameras designed to power Siri’s Visual Intelligence features. The system could help Siri recognize nearby objects, answer questions about them, and save useful information throughout the day. A video found by MacRumors in macOS Tahoe 26.7 appears to show the feature in action, with the AirPods identifying the title of a book held up by a user. Apple has not officially announced the device, so its name, price, features, and release date are still unknown. Previous reports, however, suggest the new AirPods could launch as early as September alongside the next-generation iPhones. Subscribe to our newsletter:https://cnews.link/newsletter-7/
