The current legislative battle over artificial intelligence regulation reveals a troubling trend in how power dynamics shape the future of technology governance. At the center of this conflict lies the so-called “AI moratorium” provision, originally drafted to impose a ten-year pause on state-level AI regulations. On the surface, this moratorium might seem like a reasonable
Clio’s recent acquisition of vLex in a landmark $1 billion cash-and-stock deal signifies more than just an expansion; it heralds a transformative moment in legal technology. At 17 years old, Clio has made impressive strides in streamlining law firm management, particularly for small to medium-sized practices. Their move to integrate vLex—a 26-year-old legal data intelligence
India, a country where faith intertwines with daily life, boasts an astonishing number of temples—53 for every 100,000 individuals. The Hindu temple economy itself is a colossal sector, valued at approximately ₹3.02 trillion (around $40 billion), contributing nearly 2.3% of the nation’s GDP. Yet, despite the sector’s vastness, many facets of religious devotion remain entrenched
Recently, former President Donald Trump publicly criticized AT&T on social media for technical failures during a large-scale conference call involving tens of thousands of participants, mainly faith leaders from across the United States. According to Trump’s complaint, this was the second time such disruptions occurred, and he implied that the telecommunications giant was responsible for
Levelpath, the brainchild of Stan Garber and Alex Yakubovich, emerges as a compelling new force in the procurement software realm. Both founders carry the weight of experience from their previous venture, Scout RFP, acquired by Workday for a hefty $540 million in 2019. This prior success does more than add credentials—it underscores their deep familiarity
Instagram’s latest update marks a significant shift in how users engage with music on the platform. Previously, sharing Spotify songs in Instagram Stories involved posting a silent visual sticker—a neat link, but one that required users to leave Instagram to actually hear the track. This inconvenient step fractured the user experience and limited spontaneous music
In the world of technology enthusiasts, the usual quest has been to adapt older video games and consoles to run on modern PCs. Reverse engineering, emulation, and software tweaks aim to revive classic games on today’s computers. But one daring modder took the concept in the opposite direction, attempting to transform a venerable gaming console—Sony’s
Microsoft’s recent AI breakthrough signals a pivotal moment in medical technology, leaning into what could become the future standard for healthcare diagnostics. Mustafa Suleyman, head of Microsoft’s AI division, claims that their newest AI system marks “a genuine step towards medical superintelligence.” This bold assertion is underpinned by the system’s extraordinary performance: an 80% accuracy
The race to dominate artificial intelligence research is escalating to a fever pitch, with industry giants aggressively courting the top-tier talent that fuels innovation. Recently, OpenAI found itself embroiled in a high-stakes contest after Meta, under Mark Zuckerberg’s leadership, successfully poached several senior researchers from OpenAI’s team. This move sent shockwaves through OpenAI’s corridors, prompting
Tesla’s recent robotaxi launch in Austin, Texas, marked a critical moment not just for the company but for how tech firms engage with media and public perception. Unlike the bold, high-profile events Tesla is known for, this rollout was notably subdued, gated by selective access, and dominated by a close-knit network of fervent Tesla evangelists.
In the landscape of PC gaming, Windows has long been the uncontested dominant operating system, shaping the user experience and performance expectations for decades. However, recent evidence coming from multiple in-depth reviews and comparative benchmarks suggests that SteamOS, Valve’s Linux-based operating system, may be quietly but powerfully tipping the scales. The Lenovo Legion Go S—the
The rapid churn of top AI researchers between leading tech companies illustrates how the race to develop advanced artificial intelligence is as much about acquiring talent as it is about technology itself. Recently, four prominent OpenAI researchers—Shengjia Zhao, Shuchao Bi, Jiahui Yu, and Hongyu Ren—made the significant move to Meta’s superintelligence team. This talent migration
The field of artificial intelligence continues to race toward creating agents capable of performing tasks autonomously, sometimes even mimicking human behavior. Yet, actual deployments often uncover unpredictable and quirky behaviors that challenge assumptions about AI’s reliability and safety. A recent experiment conducted by Anthropic and Andon Labs, cleverly dubbed “Project Vend,” serves as a vivid
In the saturated market of digital reading devices, Kobo emerges not just as a contender but as a genuine disruptor with two standout e-readers benefiting from significant discounts. The Kobo Elipsa 2E and the Kobo Libra Colour redefine what it means to read and interact with digital content. The Elipsa 2E, available now at its
Meta’s ongoing evolution in artificial intelligence development increasingly depends on an unlikely resource: the billions of private images resting quietly on users’ devices, untouched and unseen by the public. In a recent shift, Meta introduced the “cloud processing” feature for Facebook Stories—a seemingly innocuous prompt asking users if they wish to allow Facebook to access
In the intricate world of artificial intelligence development, where groundbreaking innovation meets colossal corporate interests, a small but potent contractual clause has emerged as a pivotal battleground. This clause, nestled deep within OpenAI’s partnership agreement with Microsoft, stipulates that if OpenAI’s board declares the achievement of artificial general intelligence (AGI), Microsoft’s access to OpenAI’s subsequent
