Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

We get some firsthand information from our security man on the ground from DEFCON. Thanks to SCHTASK for the writeup!
Of the many briefings I attended at the Blackhat / Defcon conferences of last week, the Deeplocker Briefing presented by IBM resonated with me the most. AI driven technology...
AI and Games gives us a lot of insight into how exactly the AI systems work in 2016's DOOM. While many of us hated RAGE, it was not because of the AI, but rather the shoddily done graphics, and RAGE's AI actually paved the way for DOOM. Push forward combat, and "Call of DOOMy" are touched on.
The DoD has developed the first forensic tools to detect deepfakes. The new tools use AI to detect the deepfakes that are usually created with AI or machine learning tools. One key discovery that helps make detection easier is that most deepfakes use still images of people and then overlay the...
Banseng Teh, VP of Global Sales and Sales Operations for Seagate, is predicting edge computing and AI will drive smart storage development. He believes edge computing will continue to grow along with cloud computing and there will be a need to speed up transfer of data from the cloud to the edge...
Elon Musk announced that Tesla will begin building its own AI chips for self-driving cars during their earnings call yesterday. Until now they've been using Nvidia's Drive Platform, but they say their in-house chips will focus on their specific needs and will run faster than current hardware...
Startup Snark AI wants to help companies and research teams get access to GPU's at cheaper prices. They plan to work with companies that have GPU's that might be sitting idle that can be used for other projects. They'll rent out these GPU's and make them available at a price smaller firms can...
China has been investing billions in the AI market and this includes Chinese Sex Doll companies. Since 2016 WMDOLL has been building sex dolls that have moving eyes, arms, and torsos. The AI in the doll can answer questions though it can't carry on much of a conversation. Further, these dolls...
A group of more than 170 companies and over 2,600 individuals have signed a pledge not to develop killer robots. One of the noteworthy members of this group is Elon Musk and he has long warned of the dangers of AI to humanity. However, while it's a good first step it's just a drop in the bucket...
The good folks at AMD have published a page on Machine Learning and Deep Learning. It's a good read because it breaks down what many call AI and does it in an easily understood fashion. I've never really dug too deeply into the differences between ML and DL so this write-up was an eye-opener for...
Over at the Google AI blog they're talking about computer vision and how they are using it to find protein crystallization. According to Google, computer vision will replace human researchers and reduce human error while finding individual protein crystals that can be targeted by new drugs. This...
While some of us have some incredibly complex smartphones that take beautiful pictures, there are still those times when lighting causes us to get less than favorable shots. While this tech is not available to us yet, and likely will not be for a while, the folks at Aalto University, MIT, and...
Deep neural networks are being used by Adobe to find out if you used Abode tools to manipulate an image with its image manipulation software. I think you all see where this is going, but is what you are looking at already photoshopped?
Check out the video.

Google is soon going to be in the business of telling us when we are going to die. Would have liked to have seen the percentages it gave me when I headed into corner 10 at CoTA off-line at about 120mph. In all seriousness, as morbid as it is, WebMD looks to be in trouble.

Microsoft is proud of their latest update rollout and they give all the credit to AI for making it happen smoothly. They say this is the first time they've leveraged AI on this scale and it really improved the quality and reliability of the update. The AI uses feedback from all that telemetry MS...
Scientists have developed an AI that uses WiFi to detect people behind walls and then model what the people are doing. It's believed this new tech will help the care for people with diseases like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's and older people living in assisted living facilities. It will sense how...
A team of MIT researchers have created a new AI, one that happens to be a psychopath. Researchers set out to prove that the data that is used to teach a machine learning algorithm can significantly influence its behavior. Norman was trained to perform image captioning, however instead of...
NVIDIA is showing off how it is using its deep learning to teach robots how to complete tasks by simply "showing" the robot how it is done. This will certainly be a boon in industry where repetitive tasks need to be accomplished. Once you get done teaching the robot how to do the job, it is...
IBM seems to have struck first with the patent office and has been granted a patent for an AI-controlled traffic management system. The AI reviews live footage of the intersection and determines the optimal traffic pattern. If it works correctly there shouldn't be long waits at a red light when...
CNBC is reporting that The U.S Department of Homeland Security funded research of a technology called the Automated Virtual Agent for Truth Assessments in Real-Time, or AVATAR, and about six years ago tested on volunteer travelers at the U.S.-Mexico border. According to one of the developers of...
