Its platform is designed for picking and palletizing/de-palletizing e-commerce products. Earlier this year, the company unveiled a truck bot that can “unload trailers and shipping containers.”

“The MujinController introduces a unique approach to creating robotics applications, leveraging a real-time non-volatile digital twin and offering a suite of perception, planning and control algorithms to digitize the real world and autonomously move robots and other industrial equipment through it,” Diankove said in its statement.

The company has offices in the U.S., Japan and China with over 300 employees.

A Berlin-based software developer is fighting back after X suspended his account, claiming that research he conducted on the platform violated the company’s terms of service.<\/p>\n

Following Elon Musk’s chaotic takeover of the platform, Travis Brown<\/a>‘s research figured heavily in reporting that painted X, formerly Twitter, in an unflattering light. Brown worked on open source projects at Twitter for a year well before Musk’s tenure. After Musk’s purchase, he began researching hate speech and account suspensions on the platform, collecting X data through a software tool he built in conjunction with the Open Knowledge Foundation, a data transparency nonprofit.<\/p>\n Brown announced plans to fight to restore his account with support from HateAid<\/a>, a German organization that combats digital violence. With the group’s help, Brown won an injunction and had his account restored the first time around, though X appears to be digging in and lawyering up with an outside law firm for this round. That firm filed a 36-page letter in an attempt to end run another legal challenge from Brown, who is now appealing the Berlin District Court’s rejection of his request for another injunction.<\/p>\n \u201cX’s actions are an attempt to silence researchers who are monitoring extremism and disinformation on the platform,” Brown said, arguing that the company’s behavior makes the platform “increasingly dangerous.”<\/p>\n “We will not be silenced, though, and will continue to collect and share data, because we all have a right to understand the effects that these platforms have on our world.\u201c<\/p>\n As Wired reported<\/a>, Brown was initially suspended without warning from X at the beginning of July. His account came back online following a court order in September but then was disabled again. The company changed its terms of service the same month and added a warning for researchers like Brown: “NOTE: crawling or scraping the Services in any form, for any purpose without our prior written consent is expressly prohibited.” The language echoes Musk’s disdain for ElonJet, a flight tracking account that was banned in the early days of Musk’s takeover.<\/p>\n Brown’s research made a number of headlines as Musk reversed longstanding Twitter policies and slashed the company’s workforce. Last December, Musk unbanned a number of long-banned accounts, including prominent neo-Nazi Andrew Anglin<\/a>, who created the white supremacist website The Daily Stormer. Brown tracked X’s “mass unbanning”<\/a> at the time, compiling a list of suspension reversals that included their follower count and original suspension date.<\/p><\/div>\n\n Elon Musk just brought an infamous neo-Nazi back to Twitter<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/iframe><\/div>\n Brown’s data has also been cited widely in reports on X’s paid subscriber numbers, which the company doesn’t openly disclose.

According to Brown’s estimates, X Premium \u2014 Musk’s overhauled version of Twitter Blue \u2014 boasted around 890,000 subscribers<\/a> as of September 2023. Brown’s data was also the basis of reporting that highlighted the popularity of Twitter’s paid blue checks<\/a> among far right and extremist figures like white nationalist Richard Spencer, who organized the Unite the Right rally.<\/p>\n X’s clash with Brown is just one example of the company’s crusade against organizations pursuing research about extremism on the platform. X is currently suing the Center for Countering Digital Hate<\/a> (CCDH), accusing the anti-hate group of cratering its advertising revenue by reporting on surges in hate speech under Musk’s leadership. In the lawsuit, the company makes similar claims that the CCDH illegally obtains the data it uses as a basis for its research.<\/p>\n “It is extremely dangerous if independent research and reporting on social networks can no longer take place,” HateAid CEO Anna-Lena von Hodenberg said. “… We support this case with Travis Brown on behalf of all researchers who make public what goes on behind the scenes on the platforms.”<\/p>\n\n X’s new plan to lure subscribers?

This latest vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2023-22518 and rated 9.1 out of 10 on the vulnerability severity scoring system, has been described as an instance of “improper authorization vulnerability.\u201d Atlassian has warned that it could lead to \u201csignificant data loss if exploited by an unauthenticated attacker.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company hasn\u2019t detailed how the flaw can facilitate data loss, and Atlassian spokesperson Ana Keltchina didn\u2019t immediately respond to TechCrunch\u2019s questions.<\/p>\n

Atlassian noted that there were no reports of active exploitation as of October 31 and said there is \u201cno impact to confidentiality as an attacker cannot exfiltrate any instance data.” Atlassian Cloud sites accessed via an atlassian.net domain are also unaffected by this vulnerability, Atlassian said.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s advisory included a message from Atlassian CISO Bala Sathiamurthy, who said that while the flaw is not yet being actively exploited, customers must take \u201cimmediate action\u201d to protect their instances.<\/p>\n

The advisory warns that all publicly accessible Confluence Data Center and Server versions \u201care at critical risk and require immediate attention.\u201d Atlassian urged administrators to upgrade to a fixed version without delay, and says that if that is not possible, temporary mitigations must be applied.<\/p>\n

\u201cInstances accessible to the public internet, including those with user authentication, should be restricted from external network access until you can patch,\u201d the company added.<\/p>\n

Sam Bankman-Fried has<\/span> been on trial on charges of fraud and money laundering for just over four weeks, and the case looks like it\u2019s finally drawing to a close. The prosecution began its closing statements on Wednesday; it was the defense\u2019s turn after lunch.<\/p>\n Assistant U.S. attorney Nicolas Roos stood in front of jurors from 10 a.m. ET until the court broke for lunch around 1 p.m. reiterating the prosecution\u2019s case: Bankman-Fried lied, made false promises and is responsible for billions of dollars lost for thousands of investors on FTX. And on top of that, that Bankman-Fried had many opportunities to come clean, but didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n At one especially dramatic moment, Roos pointed at the defendant and said, \u201cWho is responsible? This man: Samuel Bankman-Fried.\u201d The former CEO of FTX did not look back, but he tilted his head slightly.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Mark Cohen, Bankman-Fried\u2019s lead attorney, said the government is making a Hallmark movie-like case against Bankman-Fried and that he made \u201cbad business judgments.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe government has tried to paint Sam into some sort of villain, some sort of monster,\u201d Cohen said, using a soft voice. He mentioned that the prosecution has brought up his looks, the $30 million Bahamas apartment in which he lived with other execs, celebrity connections and his sex life. The prosecution did this, Cohen said, \u201cto make him into someone you dislike \u2026 rather than make the case.\u201d<\/p>\n His appearance, romantic relationships or being the \u201cworst dressed CEO\u201d have nothing to do with whether he\u2019s guilty, Cohen said. \u201cEvery movie needs a villain \u2026 they wrote him in as [one].\u201d<\/p>\n The prosecutor emphasized how it was wrong of FTX to use customers\u2019 funds without their knowledge or approval. \u201cIt was a universal view: Customer funds belong to customers and can\u2019t be used,\u201d Roos said, adding that even FTX\u2019s terms of service stated that users\u2019 deposits belonged to users.<\/p>\n According to the evidence, there was a \u201chuge difference between what FTX said it had for customers versus what it actually had\u201d and how billions of dollars were missing, Roos said. \u201cThis is not about complicated crypto [terms].
