There’s an argument to be made that audiobooks are the finest form of content. You take a book—already off to a good start—and you get to have someone read it right into your ears. And when I say “someone” I mean the GOATs in the voice game. I could cite examples of celebrities you never knew narrated audiobooks, but here’s a sample of Werner Herzog narrating his memoir Every Man for Himself and God Against All that I think speaks for itself: What could be

Google’s parent company Alphabet, Inc. is engaging in some unusual and creative equity-raising practices for a large, publicly traded company. Long story short: it’s raising gobs of investor money that it can put toward expanding its footprint in AI hardware. It plans to raise $80 billion via new “equity offerings” per Bloomberg. That includes $40 billion in new stock dripped into the stock market starting in the third quarter (meaning probably starting in

Once again, AI people are letting a work of fiction seep into their brains. This time it’s a piece of speculative fiction for Europeans called “Europe 2031.” Before that, it was Citrini Research’s ”The 2028 Global Intelligence Crisis,” a story about white collar unemployment that caused stocks to dip. Before that, it was AI 2027 in which a superintelligent AI kills humanity. The sitting Vice President of the United States says he read that one. Europe 2031

In a blog post on Tuesday, Meta announced the release of an AI image generator called Muse Image, along with an as-yet unreleased video generator called Muse Video. Elon Musk’s X rolled out something very much like this image generator, which features social media integration, about two years ago, and OpenAI released its video generator via the Sora social media app in September of last year. So I guess from a certain standpoint, a social media slop genera

Evaluation of multi-, inter-, and transdisciplinary trust research. Credit: Humanities and Social Sciences Communications (2025). DOI: 10.1057/s41599-025-05481-9 An international team of researchers has put forward a framework that it argues can be used to answer one of the biggest questions facing artificial intelligence (AI) technologies: can AI be trusted? The framework offers an organized approach for tackling a complex subject that draws on a wide var

Stringer / Anadolu via Getty Images In the aftermath of airstrikes that leveled a school and claimed the lives of 165 Iranian elementary students and staff, the Pentagon has refused to say whether the attack was suggested by an AI system. The grotesque possibility isn’t as far-fetched as it sounds. According to bombshell reporting by the Wall Street Journal, the Pentagon used Anthropic’s Claude AI model in planning military strikes on Iran over the weekend

Several users have their video titles replaced by AI-generated content summaries. A counterproductive experiment, in addition to the usual hallucinations and hasty shortcuts of generative AI. What's gotten into Google? The web giant, engaged in a wild race to integrate AI everywhere d

The dream of decentralised artificial intelligenceThe best known AI models in the world are controlled by a few select companies – OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Anthropic, DeepSeek et al. – creating a familiar feeling that the AI industry, much like today’s internet, will be dominated by a handful of all-powerful monarchs.This has fueled the desire for a more equitable and open AI landscape, and it has attracted some vocal supporters.

Xu et al. / Futurism Smart glasses aren’t just being used by juvenile pranksters and pickup artists to terrorize strangers, traumatize Meta’s data labeling subcontractors in Kenya, and covertly receive advice while being cross-examined in court. As Rest of World reports, students in China are also using them to cheat during exams. One university student, identified as Vivian, told the publication that she uses her Rokid AI glasses to scan questions and dis

An AI-generated drug showed early signs of potentially slowing aging, according to a new study out today in Nature Biotechnology, possibly taking the first small step towards using AI to cure all the diseases tech companies companies keep talking about. The new study centers on rentosertib, a drug from Insilico Medicine, an AI drug discovery and development company. From the onset, Insilico said it created rentosertib with the aim of both treating patients

The model annotates, the code counts.I am a teacher and an expert in the EGE, for about two years I have been working on a Telegram bot that checks answers to the second part of the EGE in social studies, and the main thing this project taught me: models cannot be entrusted with scoring.In its current form, the bot works as follows: the model does what it does well — reads the answer and annotates it according to the scheme: which examples are considered s
