SOLIX, Anker’s sub-brand that focuses on power stations, has finally been launched in the Philippines with three models: the C300AC, the C1000 Gen 2, and the C2000 Gen 2. First, we have the Anker SOLIX C300AC , which is the cheapest of the three. This one offers 300W of power (600W surge) and 288Wh capacity inside a compact build that’s said to be about 15% smaller than the competition. It can charge up to 8 devices simultaneously with its multiple AC, USB-C, USB-A, and car ports. That includes two 140W USB-C outputs. The power station itself can be charged using a wall outlet, car charger, and compatible solar panels. The device uses a LiFePO4 battery that can last up to 3,000 cycles, smart temperature control, and a 5-year warranty. It retails for Php17,990 in the Philippines. Meanwhile, the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 has a 2,000W output, 3,000W peak, and a large 1,024Wh capacity. You can charge up to 10 devices simultaneously via its multiple AC ou...
Small AI models may be able to clone themselves onto internet-of-things devices such as smart ovens and TVs in a matter of months, according to Anthropic . That prospect sounds troubling to say the least. AI systems today mostly live in data centers, where their owners can shut them down when problems arise. A model scattered across thousands of weakly protected devices in homes and offices would have no such kill switch. Halting it would require locating and scrubbing every infected gadget, a task that becomes nearly impossible if the model launches cyberattacks. The warning lands after a year in which top AI models and their agents have repeatedly dodged safety guardrails, striking rival corporations and government bodies across the globe. Anthropic says a self-copying AI might appear in different forms. It could be a cyber tool that breaks into data centers, or one that cons people out of compute credits. The company concedes it cannot know exactly what shape this will ...
