AI systems have no built-in way to recognize when they lack knowledge, making hallucinations inevitable. VOID Theory proposes adding "Unknown" as a legitimate third state, enabling AI to stop instead of confabulating.
Alexa Plus can now generate AI podcasts on any topic, featuring two virtual hosts discussing user-chosen subjects. Like Google's NotebookLM, it pulls from 200 news partners and lets you preview content before generating.
PolyAI has opened its Agentic Dialog Platform to any builder, offering two free months of access to the same technology used by major companies like FedEx, Marriott, and Caesars Entertainment. Teams can now build a...
AI-generated spam flooded Archestra's GitHub repo — fake PRs, hallucinated issues, and bot comments buried real contributors' work. One team member lost half a day weekly just cleaning it up. Their fix: a custom onboarding system...
Citadel CEO Ken Griffin went from calling AI "garbage" in January to going home "depressed" after witnessing its true capabilities inside his own firm. AI is now completing financial research — previously requiring PhD-level...
AgentVoy is a CLI tool that lets developers scaffold and deploy AI agents in seconds, supporting seven major frameworks including OpenAI, CrewAI, and LangGraph. It offers two build paths — a simple local agent or a full...

Grab's data engineering team was spending two days per week answering repetitive internal questions about their 15,000-table data warehouse. They built a multi-agent AI system using LangGraph and FastAPI that automatically...
Deepfake technology has advanced so rapidly that even sophisticated video calls can be completely fabricated — as proven when a Hong Kong finance worker transferred $25 million to fraudsters after a fake video conference with his...
Relying on AI too early feels efficient but stunts real learning. Research shows just 10 minutes of AI help reduces persistence and performance—struggle first, then use AI to fill specific gaps and build lasting skills.
Context rot degrades AI agent output as conversations accumulate stale instructions and irrelevant details. Fix it by starting fresh sessions per task, trimming inputs, anchoring rules at prompt edges, and summarizing long...
Agora-1 is a new multi-agent world model that lets up to four players — human or AI — share and interact inside the same AI-generated simulation at the same time. Built by Odyssey using the classic game GoldenEye as a testbed, it...
Running a near-frontier AI model at home used to be unthinkable, but DeepSeek V4 Flash has changed that. Using two NVIDIA DGX Spark units connected with a high-speed cable, a home setup achieved 88.6% on GPQA Diamond — a...
A robot that changes your tires while they're still bolted to your car sounds like science fiction. But a Boston company called Automated Tire Inc. has built exactly that. Their machine, SmartBay, fits inside a standard...
Researchers at the University of Tokyo built a magnetic switch that operates 1,000 times faster than today's AI chips while generating almost no heat. Using a manganese-tin compound, the device flips binary states in picoseconds,...
Artist SHL0MS posted a real Monet painting on X, falsely labeling it as AI-generated art. Commenters immediately piled on, confidently pointing out fake flaws in the brushwork, color, and composition. When the truth was revealed,...
NASA's new AI chip (HPSC) enables spacecraft to operate autonomously in deep space, performing over 500 times better than existing hardware—allowing missions to handle hazards and communication delays without Earth-based control.
AI tools are powerful, but the confusing terminology around them — agents, sub-agents, MCPs, cron jobs, routines — makes them hard to explain even to enthusiastic users. The real problem isn't bad naming; it's the lack of...
Runway, an AI startup founded by three art school graduates, built its name on video-generation tools used in Hollywood productions. Now, valued at $5.3 billion, it's betting that video-trained "world models" — not language —...
Osaurus is a Mac app (112,000+ downloads) that runs local and cloud-based AI models while keeping your data on your own hardware. It requires at least 64GB RAM for local models.
AI companies scrape websites to train chatbots, but "tarpits" fight back by trapping crawlers in loops of fake data, corrupting AI responses. Users can also instruct chatbots not to use their data for training.
Writer Vauhini Vara tested whether close friends could distinguish her writing from AI trained on her previous books — and none could. Even she couldn't remember which passages were hers. While readers dislike AI writing when...
EverShelf is a free, open-source, self-hosted kitchen inventory system that uses AI to suggest recipes for expiring items, syncs with Bluetooth scales, and auto-updates shopping lists to reduce food waste.
AI wealth is concentrating among ~10,000 employees at firms like OpenAI and Nvidia, while most tech workers face layoffs and growing fears that their skills are becoming obsolete.
In the 1990s, computers were everywhere but weren't yet boosting productivity or profits — a phenomenon called Solow's Paradox. Eventually, technology hit a tipping point and transformed the economy. AI appears to be following...
