In a statement to Sky News, a CrowdStrike spokesperson said "Uber flagged it as fraud because of high usage rates,".
Researchers in Canada and the UK have suggested the T-Rex might have been 70% heavier than previously thought and 25% longer.
They used computer modelling to work out the average size of a T-Rex, based on existing fossils, and then estimated what the largest possible example could have looked like.
According to the model, the biggest T-Rex examples could have been 15 tonnes, making them heavier than an average US school bus.
A study commissioned by Google has found that 61% of all UK jobs have the potential to be ‘significantly enhanced’ by AI.
The study found every sector of work will be impacted in some way by the technology, with office workers and administrative roles the most likely to be affected.
In response to the research, the tech giant’s trying to help workers learn to trust artificial intelligence and boost their AI skills, with a range of pilot schemes.
A giant ‘super Jupiter’ exoplanet has been discovered orbiting a nearby star.
It was spotted and imaged using the James Webb Space Telescope, identifying the gas planet as very bright and cold, with a mass more than six times that of Jupiter.
It’s called “Eps Ind Ab”, and it revolves around the main component of the nearby triple star system Epsilon Indi, which is only 12 light years from Earth.
The giant planet needs around 200 years to orbit its star.
