ChatGPT's new macOS plugin lets the chatbot read, search, and send Apple Messages (iMessage, SMS, RCS), but only within Codex and ChatGPT Work. It requires Apple Silicon and works across all plans.
We lack proper ways to measure whether AI truly reasons or just mimics reasoning—a critical gap that affects how much we can trust AI, how closely we must monitor it, and its real-world impact.
MIT researchers developed an AI that analyzes weeks of personal conversations to predict individual behavior and responses. Trained on thousands of hours of data, it improves over time, offering personalized AI potential but...
Run a local AI assistant on a Raspberry Pi 5 using Ollama to handle coding, email, and web deployment—no cloud required. At ~$1/month in electricity, it's a cost-effective alternative to $40–60/month cloud AI subscriptions.
NLP enables computers to understand and generate human language, powering chatbots, search engines, and healthcare tools. Deep learning has accelerated its growth, though data bias and language ambiguity remain key challenges.
"A Human for AI" is an API-based service where a lawyer acts as a human proxy for AI agents, handling legal reviews, physical signatures, and courthouse visits when AI alone isn't sufficient.

AI is driving stronger-than-expected global economic growth in 2026, with expansion projected into 2027. AI-powered tools are also leveling the playing field, giving smaller businesses access to capabilities previously reserved...
A self-hosted kanban board for solo developers that manages 10+ AI coding agents (including Claude Code and Gemini) locally—no cloud or telemetry needed—with persistent cross-session memory via mem0.
ChatGPT ads are rolling out across 31 European countries, targeting free and lower-tier users. Despite surpassing 1 billion monthly users, OpenAI remains unprofitable and needs the ad revenue.
AI companies stockpiling RAM for data centers is worsening chip shortages, driving up car prices. As automakers adopt memory-intensive central computers, experts warn average new car prices could soon reach $60,000.
Meta launched a dedicated Mac desktop app for its AI assistant, aiming to boost accessibility for business users and compete in the AI productivity space with a native experience beyond web and mobile.
A Pew Research Center survey shows 52% of Americans are more concerned than excited about AI (up from 37% in 2021), with 71% believing AI will eliminate jobs and younger adults fearing impacts on creativity and relationships.
AI is boosting worker demand, not eliminating jobs. Companies blaming layoffs on AI are often masking broader cost-cutting strategies, and enterprise leaders agree that replacing workers with AI at scale remains unrealistic.
Google's Gemini 3.7 Flash (August 2026) represents AI's shift from chatbots to autonomous agents, handling complex coding and business workflows end-to-end with minimal human input.
Nvidia's Alpamayo 2 Super is an open AI model for autonomous vehicles that tops the LingoQA benchmark, beating GPT-4o by 23.2 points, and is available commercially under a permissive license.
AI adoption in software development now spans all roles, with PRs up 111% in two years. However, faster code creation has shifted bottlenecks to validation and security, and AI token spending doesn't reliably predict value...
OpenAI's losses hit $12.3B in Q2 2026—up $3B from Q1—while revenue grew just $1B to $6.7B, raising red flags ahead of its IPO. Altman's claimed "safety pause" on AI training did little to reassure skeptical investors.
xAI's Grok 4.6 is available on Amazon Bedrock one week after launch, priced at $2/M input and $6/M output tokens, with a 500K-token context window and four reasoning levels across all AWS regions.
Alibaba's Qwen3.8-27B is a 27B open-weight multimodal model supporting text, images, and video. It beats Opus 4.6 Max on key agentic benchmarks, offers 1M-token context, tunable reasoning, and is Apache 2.0 licensed.
Generalist AI's robots learn new tasks from short videos without specific training and can improvise with available tools. Achieving a 59% success rate, experts consider Generalist closest to commercial-ready robotics.
General-purpose LLMs prioritize fluency over accuracy, making them unreliable for high-stakes industries. Smaller, task-specific AI models deliver the precision and consistency that manufacturing and facilities management...
Anthropic added invisible watermarks to Claude's output to meet EU AI Act requirements, subtly altering word choices. Critics say this hurts writing quality, highlighting users' over-reliance on AI tools not designed exclusively...
Major AI companies like Anthropic and OpenAI selectively publish usage data that favors their interests, according to an analysis of 24,000 real AI conversations. Sensitive topics appear far more often in independent data than in...
ScreenWeaver's free open beta lets anyone generate full storyboards—including camera plans, character designs, and shot durations—replacing artists who previously cost $150–$700 per day. Video generation from storyboards is...
