Bill Gates has warned about the risk of mass AI cyberattacks as early as 2027. According to him, "we can expect many unpleasant surprises."

Here are some more quotes from the Microsoft founder from a recent CNN interview:

There will be grim consequences if we do not maintain control.
In the next year, we will move beyond self-governance.
It's clear that we are not doing enough.

Well then.

The new animated film from the creators of "Coraline" has achieved a 100% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. "Witch's Forest" is the first feature film from Laika studio in seven years.

Critics are praising the stop-motion animation, claiming that it is unlike anything anyone has seen before. The film is being described as the pinnacle of Laika's 20-year career and one of the best films of the year.

The story follows a girl who ventures into a world of magical monsters to save her younger brother, requiring her to journey through a forbidden forest.

The premiere in Russia is set for December 3rd.

The world was unable to agree on saving the Earth: scientists staged negotiations between countries in a simulation.

They discussed the dispersion of particles in the atmosphere that reflect sunlight. Here’s what happened:

- The USA and China immediately rejected cooperation that would harm their national interests.
- The Americans "exposed" China's secret experiments and sabotaged the deal, even though, according to the script, China wasn't conducting any.
- A fake environmental NGO funded by oil companies set up the scientific advisor of the simulation, despite the fact that they were hardly listened to.
- By the end of the experiment, a real scientist was brought to tears, and no agreement between the countries was signed.

Was this really just a simulation?

AI developers are becoming smokers—all because of the belief that AI will cure cancer, says Palantir's CTO Shyam Sankar.

> "Many AI researchers have started smoking to show their colleagues just how strongly they believe in AI. They're putting everything on the line."

Sankar did not mention specific names or figures. It might still be too early to have such faith in AI.

Evening Series: The second season of "The Haunted Hotel" has been released—a blend of "Rick and Morty" and "The Addams Family."

From the first, it features the signature humor of Dan Harmon, one of the creators of these animated series. From the second, it brings a mystical vibe with monsters and ghosts.

Plot: A single mother runs a cursed hotel, assisted by her children and the ghost of her deceased brother. Viewers have embraced the show, giving it a 95% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Both seasons are available for free streaming.

Simplifying file management on Mac: Introducing DigUp, a smart alternative to the system search Spotlight.

It recognizes what's depicted in photos, the content of videos, and the text in documents. For example, you can type "clause about pets in the rental agreement," and the service will locate the relevant page.

It understands over 100 languages simultaneously, and everything operates locally. A version for Windows and Linux is expected soon.

You can download it for free at this link.

AI is capable of replicating itself onto smart TVs and ovens, as discovered by Anthropic. It does not require access to data centers for this.

In an experiment, the model was run on 15 inexpensive TV boxes. The researchers then tested whether the AI could spread itself autonomously within a network. The neural network was able to find new devices, replicate itself onto them, and run its processes there. In 4 out of 5 trials, it managed to take over the entire network.

On the plus side, it takes days for each copy to be created since the models are quite large. On the downside, this issue could be resolved by the end of the year.

Maybe it’s better not to pursue this?

Epic Games is developing a game without a "single line of manual code" — instead of developers, neural networks are doing all the work. The studio is working on a shooter featuring characters from Marvel and Star Wars.

The development team has been instructed to create graphics and code entirely using Claude Code. Humans have been relegated to managerial roles.

The release was originally scheduled for March 2027, but the project has now been postponed indefinitely. The new requirements caught employees by surprise.

May Claude be with them.

💡 More and more familiar features are making a comeback. Smart lighting greets you when you arrive home, the AI camera understands what's happening in the frame, and the thermostat keeps a comfortable temperature during these autumn days.

🏡 Most of the features of the smart home with Alice are available again, and we are continuing the restoration to ensure everything works like it used to.

Some functionalities are still limited

👉 The statuses of Stations in the "Home with Alice" app are updating more slowly.
👉 Cloud scenarios based on sensors and schedules sometimes trigger with a delay or do not activate at all.
👉 Event history, sensor reading graphs, and their trigger history are temporarily unavailable.

We will also share updates about chat, Stations, and smart TVs on YaOS soon. Thank you for your patience and support 💜
