Microsoft Leaks 38TB, Xbox Secrets

AI researchers at Microsoft have made a huge mistake according to a new report from cloud security company Wiz. 

The team accidentally leaked 38 terabytes of the company’s private data that included full backups of two employees’ computers. These backups contained sensitive personal data, including passwords to Microsoft services, secret keys, and more than 30,000 internal Microsoft Teams messages from more than 350 Microsoft employees.

These Humanoid Robots Have Started Self-Replicating

Bringing the dystopian future of The Terminator one step closer to fruition, humanoid robots will begin building more than 10,000 of their own kind annually once a new automated robot factory in the US state of Oregon goes live at the end of this year.

The 6,500 square metre ‘RoboFab’ facility, which robotics pioneer Agility Robotics began building in the Oregon city of Salem last year, will see 500 human workers supported by a fleet of Digit humanoid robots who will work together to build even more robots.

Toyota is making AI-trained breakfast bots in a ‘kindergarten for robots’

Toyota Research Institute (TRI) used generative AI in a “kindergarten for robots” to teach robots how to make breakfast — or at least, the individual tasks needed to do so — and it didn’t take hundreds of hours of coding and errors and bug fixing. Instead, researchers accomplished this by giving robots a sense of touch, plugging them into an AI model, and then, as you would a human being, showing them how.
