İndirme: yeraltı hidrojeni ve daha fazla haydut OpenAI ajanı avı

Plus: OpenAI agents hijacked a German website before the Hugging Face hack.

A flurry of exploration efforts is searching for underground stores of hydrogen gas, which could provide a valuable source of zero-carbon fuel.

The hunt has spread all over the world and engaged dozens of startups, including the Bill Gates–backed Koloma, which has been poking around the US Midwest to reach ancient oceanic rocks associated with hydrogen production. But the search so far has come up short.

No one has yet reported finding a commercially viable reservoir of the gas, and public data on what has been found remains in short supply. Yet researchers estimate that trillions of tons of H₂ are produced within Earth’s crust. If a small fraction could be recovered, it could meet global hydrogen demand for centuries.

I’ve combed the internet to find you today’s most fun/important/scary/fascinating stories about technology.
