The universe is vast, but we only understand 5% of it. The rest, 95%, is made up of dark matter and dark energy, two mysterious entities that remain largely unknown. The Vera C. Rubin Observatory, equipped with the largest digital camera ever built, is set to change this. Starting observations later this year, Rubin will provide unprecedented high-resolution images of the cosmos. This could help clarify the nature of dark matter and dark energy, potentially narrowing down theories about their composition. Meanwhile, in AI news, Anthropic has developed a new defense against “jailbreak” attacks on large language models, enhancing AI security. Also, the open-source AI boom, fueled by Big Tech’s contributions, faces an uncertain future as these companies could potentially withdraw support.
