  5. Can #Iran shut down global #internet by cutting #Hormuz #undersea #cables?

    source: indiatoday.in/world/story/oil-…

    The #world is facing an energy crisis as Iran blocked supplies passing through the Strait of Hormuz after strikes by the US and #Israel. Vital #subsea cables that carry global internet #traffic also pass through Hormuz. Any damage to them could trigger internet outages and hit financial systems across countries, including in #India.

  8. New #undersea cable cutter risks Internet’s #backbone

    A #Chinese ship has tested a new device capable of slicing through #submarine data cables thousands of meters beneath the ocean surface. That demonstration may exacerbate #security concerns over a spate of suspected #sabotage incidents targeting undersea communications and power cables from the #BalticSea to the #PacificOcean.

  17. #Undersea cable investments double to $13 billion in 2yr — ever-growing danger of cable cuts looms
    Amount is double 2022-2024 spend, and much as you'd expect, it's driven primarily by #bigtech (Meta Amazon Microsoft Google). The report claims that existing cables already cover roughly 1M mi, and that number is getting larger every year. Paul Gabla from #Alcatel, the world's largest #underseacable maker and installer, remarks Big Tech companies made up about 50% of market

  29. A reminder that generative AI is not only gobbling jobs, fouling up apps and filling the Internet with slop but proving spectacularly successful in other roles such as engineering design:

    AI shapes autonomous underwater “gliders”

    An AI pipeline developed by CSAIL researchers enables unique hydrodynamic designs for bodyboard-sized vehicles that glide underwater and could help scientists gather marine data.
