One out of 20 prescriptions written in the U.S. is for a GLP-1 drug. US doctors write billions of prescriptions each year. During 2024, though, one type of drug stood out—“wonder drugs” known as GLP-1 agonists. As of September, one of every 20 prescriptions written for adults was for one of these drugs, according to the health data company Truveta. The drugs, which include Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Victoza, are used to treat diabetes, since they help generate insulin. But...

Networks programmed directly into computer chip hardware can identify images faster, and use much less energy, than the traditional neural networks that underpin most modern AI systems. That’s according to work presented at a leading machine learning conference in Vancouver last week. Neural networks, from GPT-4 to Stable Diffusion, are built by wiring together perceptrons, which are highly simplified simulations of the neurons in our brains. In very large numbers, perceptrons are powerful, but they also consume enormous volumes...

It was a normal morning during the autumn olive harvest. On a hillside northeast of Ramallah, on November 8, a group of roughly 15 or 20 Palestinians from the village of Deir Jarir were picking dark olives, the most important agricultural product in the occupied West Bank, from low, young trees. With them were volunteers from the Israeli group Rabbis for Human Rights, along with Rabbi Arik Ascherman, the leader of Torat Tzedek, a group whose name translates to...

In the hit virtual reality game Gorilla Tag, you swing your arms to pull your primate character around—clambering through virtual worlds, climbing up trees and, above all, trying to avoid an infectious mob of other gamers. If you’re caught, you join the horde. However, some kids playing the game claim to have found a way to cheat and easily “tag” opponents. Over the past year, teenagers have produced video tutorials showing how to side-load a virtual private network (VPN)...

The US Senate passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) on Wednesday after congressional leaders earlier this month stripped the bill of provisions designed to safeguard against excessive government surveillance. The “must-pass” legislation now heads to President Joe Biden for his expected signature. The Senate’s 85–14 vote cements a major expansion of a controversial US surveillance program, Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). Biden’s signature will ensure that the Trump administration opens with the newfound power...

The Department of Homeland Security issued warnings to state and local law enforcement agencies this summer regarding the “growing illicit use” of commercial drones, internal documents show. Among the recommended steps was to conduct “exercises to test and prepare response capabilities.” A DHS memo from August, which has not been previously reported, paints US cities as woefully underprepared for the “rising” threat of weaponized drones. The capabilities of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) are “progressing faster” than available countermeasures offered...

The rise of so-called pig butchering investment scams over the past few years largely caught the world unawares, capitalizing on conditions surrounding pandemic lockdowns and global economic instability to fool people into giving away their money to attackers. But as researchers and law enforcement have scrambled to raise awareness about the crisis—including scammers’ use of forced labor—any way they can, the term “pig butchering” itself has emerged as an attention-grabbing and recognizable symbol. Because the term was coined by...

Netflix is a creature in constant flux, always adding content to hook in prospective subscribers. But to make room for the fresh stuff, some of the stuff you’ve always wanted to watch—and have had in your to-watch list for months or years—has to go to a farm upstate, never to be seen again. That’s because Netflix doesn’t own all the content it streams. The contracts it has with networks, production companies, and movie studios mean much of that content...
