    COINBASE SAYS HACKERS BRIBED STAFF TO STEAL CUSTOMER DATA AND ARE   
   DEMANDING $20 MILLION RANSOM (3 MINUTE READ) [6]    
      
    Coinbase customer data was recently stolen by cybercriminals using   
   social engineering techniques. The incident may cost the company up to   
   $400 million to fix. The data stolen includes names, addresses, phone   
   numbers, emails, masked bank account numbers and identifiers, the last   
   four digits of Social Security numbers, government ID images, and   
   account balances. The attackers demanded a $20 million ransom, but   
   Coinbase said it would not pay. It instead offered a $20 million   
   reward fund for information leading to the arrest and conviction of   
   the criminals responsible for the attack.    
      
    A GENE-EDITING BREAKTHROUGH SAVES INFANT WITH RARE DISEASE (3 MINUTE   
   READ) [7]    
      
    An infant in Philadelphia has been successfully treated with a   
   customized CRISPR gene-editing therapy for a rare and deadly disease.   
   The infant lacked an enzyme in his liver that normally converts   
   ammonia to urea. This caused ammonia to build up and damage organs in   
   the body. Before the treatment, the infant was in the eighth or ninth   
   percentile for weight - after, he is now in the 35th to 40th   
   percentile. The infant still needs medication, but now needs less. His   
   treatment could potentially be used as a template for creating   
   individualized treatments quickly for other patients with rare   
   diseases.    
      
    FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE US, A ROTATING DETONATION ROCKET ENGINE   
   TAKES FLIGHT (3 MINUTE READ) [8]    
      
    Venus Aerospace has completed a short flight test of its rotating   
   detonation rocket engine. The concept has been discussed academically   
   for decades and has previously been tested in a handful of countries,   
   but this is believed to be the first US-based flight test of the idea.   
   The technology makes traversing the globe in under two hours possible.   
   Venus still has a long way to go before it can provide highly   
   efficient hypersonic commercial flight, but the flight test proves   
   that such a future is at least possible.    
      
    META IS DELAYING THE ROLLOUT OF ITS FLAGSHIP AI MODEL (4 MINUTE READ) [11]   
      
    Meta's engineers are struggling to significantly improve the   
   capabilities of the company's 'Behemoth' large language model. The   
   model was intentionally slated for an April release, but this has now   
   been delayed to fall or later. Staff are concerned that the model's   
   performance won't match public statements about its capabilities. The   
   company is contemplating significant management changes to its AI   
   product group.    
      
    MICROSOFT'S CEO ON HOW AI WILL REMAKE EVERY COMPANY, INCLUDING HIS   
   (33 MINUTE READ) [12]    
      
    AI is rapidly commoditizing, and this is a good thing for Microsoft.   
   CEO Satya Nadella believes that as AI becomes more accessible and its   
   usage becomes more efficient, consumption will increase. The company   
   has created its own AI architectures to prepare for this future.   
   Microsoft's investment into AI projects will likely generate trillions   
   of dollars in economic activity.

    A new bill in Montana permits clinics and doctors to sell and provide   
   nearly any experimental drug to potential patients.
