🦠 Large Language Models Make Malicious Code Invisible to Antivirus Programs

⌨️ Researchers from Palo Alto Networks' Unit 42 have demonstrated that large language models can generate thousands of variations of malicious JavaScript code, making it harder for antivirus software to detect. AI employs techniques such as variable renaming, string fragmentation, redundant code insertion, and complete restructuring of code, rendering it less suspicious. During the experiment, over 10,000 modifications were created, bypassing security systems in 88% of cases. This highlights emerging risks in the field of cybersecurity.

🇨🇳 China Opens the World's First Highway That Absorbs More CO₂ Than It Emits

🛣 A new section of the Jinan-Hefei expressway, spanning 152.7 km, absorbs more carbon dioxide annually than it emits. The difference amounts to 9,000 tons of CO₂ per year, making this highway a unique example of eco-friendly infrastructure. Plans are underway to expand this project to other expressways in the country, which currently span 184,000 km and continue to grow by 9,000 km annually through new construction and modernization efforts.

🤒 The Bird Flu Virus Mutated and Can Now Infect Respiratory Tract Cells

😷 Earlier this year, the first laboratory-confirmed case of human infection with the influenza A (H5N1) virus was reported in the United States. Since then, the virus has continuously mutated, and scientists now report the first instance of a mutation that allows it to attach to human upper respiratory tract cells. While previous outbreaks of bird flu posed limited risks for widespread human infection, the situation now requires closer monitoring and greater vigilance.

👩‍🚀 Astronauts Are Not Ready to Work at the Moon's South Pole

🌚 In the coming years, several countries plan to send humans to the Moon. The United States, Europe, and China have identified the lunar south pole as the most attractive area for building bases. However, conditions in this region are challenging for humans: day and night cycles occur once every two weeks, and the Sun barely rises above the horizon. A NASA report recommends developing measures to prepare astronauts for the harsh conditions they will face.

🇺🇸 Bloomberg: AI Data Centers Are Disrupting the U.S. Power Grid

🪫 The quality of electricity is deteriorating in areas near large data centers supporting artificial intelligence operations. Millions of sensors monitoring power supply in residential areas across the U.S. reveal this trend. The most severe distortions are detected within an 80-kilometer radius of these data centers, affecting 3.7 million people. The instability of the electrical grid shortens the lifespan of household appliances and increases the risk of outages, overheating, and fires.

🐜 An Ant Colony Outperformed Humans in a Maze Test

🤔 Researchers from the Weizmann Institute conducted an experiment comparing how ants and humans managed the task of transporting an object through a maze. The findings revealed that, while individuals performed better among humans, ant groups significantly outpaced humans in teamwork. This advantage was attributed to the insects' ability to act as a unified "superorganism," enabling them to leverage shared interests and seamless cooperation. Humans, on the other hand, faced coordination challenges due to communication limitations and personal priorities, which reduced the efficiency of group efforts.
