The Morning After: The NSA announces new artificial intelligence security center
The National Security Agency (NSA) has launched a dedicated artificial intelligence security center. This apparently follows the increased government use of algorithms and AI systems, related to defense and intelligent systems. The security center aims to protect these systems from theft and sabotage, as well as safeguard the country from external AI-based threats.
The NSA’s outgoing director, General Paul Nakasone, says the division will operate within the existing Cybersecurity Collaboration Center. This entity works with private industry and international partners to protect the US from cyberattacks from China, Russia and other countries with active malware and hacking campaigns.
One reason we might hear more on defensive measures is the incoming US presidential election, although Nakasone said he’s not seen evidence of that just yet.

Your phone will blare a national emergency alert test on October 4 at 2:20 PM ET
It’ll still probably make you jump.
The US government will conduct a nationwide alert test on Wednesday, October 4. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will send notifications to your phones (and radios and TVs) to test the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. If you live near a decent-sized metro area, there’s a solid chance you’ve received AMBER alerts through this system before. But you’re still going to be surprised.
Analogue’s limited edition Pockets are delightful and frustrating
Its dedication to retro authenticity goes far beyond creating desirable gaming hardware.
No one appears to understand the tug of retro game collectors’ emotions better than the team at Analogue, makers of some of the most desirable modern retro consoles. According to Engadget’s James Trew, it’s perfected the art of inducing both ends of that emotional spectrum. Almost two years after the release of the (delightful) Pocket handheld, many are (still) waiting for key accessories and even consoles to be in stock reliably. Meanwhile, the company just unveiled some seriously alluring limited editions. Good luck snatching one of those.
Cocoon is a near-perfect puzzle game
The lead gameplay designer of Limbo and Inside has brought us a new classic.
With Cocoon, there’s no preamble, no text overlays and no overt hints. So, you walk around interacting with things that look like you can interact with them, scratching away at the game within. You’ll soon find an orb, which you can initially use to open doors, before discovering inside every orb is a new world of puzzles. I could oversimplify it and call it bug puzzle Inception, but it’s more satisfying than that.
