Figure AI Trains Retired Robots to Dive Into Molten Steel (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here’s something you don’t see every day, unless you happen to watch Terminator 2: Judgement Day that much: robots diving into a pool of molten metal. AI robotics firm Figure recently retired its fleet of Figure 02 humanoid robots. The company wrote in a blog post that the robots were no longer maintainable, and Figure had decided to destroy them completely in order to protect their “custom-built actuators and other intellectual property” from leaks. They settled on the method most famously used
Micron's DRAM Revenue Shot Up 343% Compared to Last Year, Courtesy of RAM Shortage (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s hardly a secret that RAM prices are obscene right now; it’s become one of the most expensive components of any PC build, and device manufacturers are so desperate that they’re reverting to marketing old PC components and laptops with just 8GB of RAM.

That’s the same tier of military organization as STRATCOM or Cyber Command, and comes with its own four-star commander. T
Six-Month Trial of Live Facial Recognition in London Railway Stations Nets Zero Suspects (opens the original)
Read excerpt
London’s police test of live facial recognition (LFR) has ended with more than half a million faces scanned, but zero actual suspects or arrests attributable to the technology, The Guardian reported. British Transport Police (BTP) cumulatively spent around £321,000 (about $425,000) and nearly 100 hours of officers’ time rolling out 18 deployments at railway stations from February to July of this year. The LFR trial resulted in just a single alert being set off, according to The Guardian, but it
