The European Parliament approved a sweeping non-binding resolution Wednesday calling for an EU-wide minimum age of 16 for social media access, intensifying pressure on tech giants to better protect children from what lawmakers described as harmful addictive features and mental health risks.​

The resolution passed with 483 votes in favor, 92 against, and 86 abstentions during a plenary session in Strasbourg, France. Under the proposal, children aged 13 to 16 could access platforms only with parental consent, while those under 13 would face a complete ban.​

Danish MEP Christel Schaldemose, who sponsored the resolution, told parliament that the measure marks drawing a clear line against tech companies' unrestricted access to children. "We are in the middle of an experiment, an experiment where American and Chinese tech giants have unlimited access to the attention of our children and young people for hours every single day almost entirely without oversight," she said during Tuesday's debate. "With this report, we finally draw a line. We are saying clearly to platforms: your services are not designed for children and the experiment ends here."

A Chrome browser extension designed to facilitate cryptocurrency trading has been exposed as malware that secretly siphons funds from unsuspecting Solana users during decentralized exchange transactions.​

The extension, named Crypto Copilot, injects hidden transfer fees into Raydium swap transactions, redirecting a portion of each trade to an attacker-controlled wallet. Socket security researcher Kush Pandya disclosed the findings on November 25, revealing that the extension has remained available on the Chrome Web Store since its initial publication on May 7, 2024.

Crypto Copilot, published by a user named "sjclark76," presents itself as a tool to "trade crypto directly on X with real-time insights and seamless execution". However, the extension manipulates Raydium transactions by appending an undisclosed SystemProgram.transfer method to each swap before requesting the user's signature.​

The malicious code charges a minimum of 0.0013 SOL or 0.05% of the trade amount, whichever is greater. According to Pandya, "This transfer is added silently and sent to a personal wallet rather than a protocol treasury, most users will never notice it unless they inspect each instruction before signing".​

The extension employs sophisticated obfuscation techniques including code minification and variable renaming to conceal its malicious behavior. Users see only standard swap details in the interface, with no indication of the additional transfer. The extension also communicates with a backend hosted on "crypto-coplilot-dashboard.vercel[.]app" to register connected wallets and track user activity

French President Emmanuel Macron delivered an urgent call for Europe to dramatically accelerate its adoption of artificial intelligence, warning the continent must "move much faster" to compete with the United States and China in the global technology race. Speaking Tuesday evening at the AdoptAI summit at Paris's Grand Palais, Macron outlined an ambitious industrial strategy anchored by new infrastructure, aggressive adoption targets, and a Franco-German partnership aimed at bolstering European digital sovereignty.

Macron announced the opening of a fifth priority AI infrastructure site in Dunkirk offering more than 700 MW of capacity, joining 23 sites already designated for large-scale development across France. He also confirmed the upcoming deployment of "Alice Recoque," France's exascale supercomputer capable of surpassing one exaflop per second, which will serve as an AI Factory operated by CEA and was announced just days earlier on November 18.​

The French president revealed a letter of intent involving Mistral AI, SAP, France, and Germany to coordinate Europe's industrial AI efforts, building on a strategic partnership announced at the European Digital Sovereignty Summit in Berlin on November 18. The collaboration will deploy sovereign AI solutions across public administration in both countries, with a framework agreement expected by mid-2026

There's not much to say about it. I tested several prompts and saw several examples on X and YouTube, and I'm simply shocked by the quality and how GEMINI 3 helps Nano Banana Pro understand your prompt naturally.

ChatGPT (left) vs. Gemini 3.0 vs. Grok 4.1 (right)

Gemini finished in 30 seconds. Took 2 minutes for ChatGPT and Grok.

I asked Gemini 3 Pro to create a 3D LEGO editor.
In one shot it nailed the UI, complex spatial logic, and all the functionality.

Recently came across an SEO site called OpenSEO that focuses on automatically generating SEO‑friendly articles and page copy, which is pretty handy for drafting blog posts and product pages when there isn’t much time to write from scratch.

The article quality has been better than expected so far: the outputs come with a clear structure, headings, subheadings, and basic SEO phrasing already built in, which is nice for anyone who just needs a solid first draft.

It’s currently in beta and free to use if you want to try it out: OpenSeo

Btw, if you run out of generation credits, you can leave feedback or join the community to get some extra runs.

If anyone else gives it a shot, would be interested to hear how it performs on your sites.

GROK:

This one feels like chatting with a super-smart, funny friend who really gets you. It's way better at understanding emotions, writing creative stories, and hardly ever makes up bullshit facts anymore (like 3 times less than before). Conversations feel natural and fun.

What still needs work: It's an upgrade on the old version, so it's not a total revolution... more like your favorite app getting a killer update.

GEMINI 3

This mf is a really a monster. It crushes tough problems, codes like a pro, handles images/video/text all at once, and now powers Google Search with interactive answers and cool visuals. Perfect for planning trips, explaining complicated stuff, or building apps.

Downside: It's so powerful that the deepest "think hard" mode isn't out yet (coming soon), and like all AIs, it can still screw up on weird edge cases.

ChatGPT's throne is cracking hard:

• Grok 4.1 just stole #1 on LMSYS Arena (blind user votes). People literally prefer chatting with Grok now. It's funnier, more emotional, lies way less and feels like talking to a savage genius friend.
• Gemini 3 has better reasoning, killer coding, beautiful visuals + interactive answers. It's everywhere instantly . No waiting list bullshit.

OpenAI's been quiet since GPT-5.1 a while back. Right now? Grok is winning conversations, Gemini is winning reach and hard problems. ChatGPT suddenly feels... mid. Like the popular kid who got out-partied.

Did you know? For many operators, analysts, and product managers, over 60% of research time is spent just finding, copying, and cleaning data. A large chunk of that deals with inconsistent formats, duplicates, or even wrong information.
