This week, people are wrong about teleportation. A common science fiction trope, teleportation is the transfer of matter or energy from one point to another without traversing the physical space between them. Widely repeated claims of teleportation have been cropping up since at least 1583, when occultist John Dee supposedly vanished from his home in England and reappeared at the same moment in Prague. The most recent report comes from Gregg Phillips, who was appointed to lead FEMA’s office of response and recovery in December.On a January episode of the Onward podcast, Phillips said, “I was with my boys one…

Google updated its Discussion Forum and Q&A Page structured data documentation, adding several new supported properties to both markup types. The most notable addition is digitalSourceType, a property that lets forum and Q&A sites indicate when content was created by a trained AI model or another automated system. Content Source Labeling Comes To Forum Markup The new digitalSourceType property uses IPTC digital source enumeration values to indicate how content was created. Google supports two values: TrainedAlgorithmicMediaDigitalSource for content created by a trained model, such as an LLM. AlgorithmicMediaDigitalSource for content created by a simpler algorithmic process, such as an automatic…
Organizations have spent years accumulating fragmented identity systems: too many roles, too many credentials, too many disconnected tools. For a workforce of humans, that fragmentation was manageable. Humans log in, log out, and make decisions slowly enough that gaps in control rarely turned into immediate incidents. AI agents operate differently. “AI agents change that completely,” said Ev Kontsevoy, CEO of Teleport. “Now you’re introducing non-deterministic actors that don’t sleep, don’t follow predictable paths, and can move across your infrastructure in seconds. And in most environments, we’re plugging them into the exact same model we already struggle to manage, with static…
