A ranking of the builders behind these apps needs a link between a person and a product, and we do not record one yet. When we do it will come from launch posts people wrote themselves. Business profiles only, never personal accounts.

Pangram hired an "attack dog" to shame alleged AI users on social media. But the campaign blurs two things that aren't the same: Pangram only somewhat reliably measures whether AI was used, while the shaming implies the person didn't think or work on their own. A high AI score hits a text built on hours of original research just as easily as one cranked out from a ten-second prompt. The article Pa…
OpenAI leaders think the company’s next generation model, which excels at computer use and coding, may mark a major milestone in AI development.
OpenAI claims that Astra represents "a new frontier on computer and browser use," and that it handles tasks with unmatched "speed, accuracy, and safety."

OpenAI on Thursday released GPT-6 Astra , which president Greg Brockman called a "generational leap" and said could eventually be seen as the arrival of artificial general intelligence, or AGI. Why it matters: Astra pushes AI agents closer to doing complex professional work on their own — while also raising questions about how safely they can be deployed. Driving the news: Brockman says he persona…

For only the second time in a quarter century, a majority of Republicans — 52% — approve of labor unions , according to a new Gallup poll . Why it matters: Despite Americans' rising approval , union membership remains near a modern low. Congress has repeatedly blocked labor's biggest priorities, and House Republicans are now investigating unions, even as their own voters approve of them. Republica…
CERN is moving several thousand computers that control its particle accelerator hardware from Red Hat-family Linux distros to Debian. CERN – the place that runs the Large Hadron Collider – generates a lot of data, and that means it uses a lot of computers. Most of them run Linux, and for over 20 years, it used distros in the Red Hat family. Now, that's beginning to change: it’s moving what it call…

Check your Halloween candy—because here’s a story that’s spooky for all the wrong reasons. Crystal Temptations is recalling its Halloween Chocolatey Eyeballs because the candy contains undeclared milk allergens, according to a safety alert from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

It's that time of year again, when we learn which lucky scientists are among the winners of the Ig Nobel Prizes. This year, the prizes honor research on designing the perfect splash-free urinal; using mosquito proboscises to "necroprint" tiny nozzles; studying composition rates of buried cotton underwear; and the aerodynamics of a healthy nose-blow, among other highlights. Established in 1991, the…
Persona 4 was my belated introduction to Atlus's Japanese high school RPG series, so it still has a special place in my heart. The PlayStation 2 original was, however, also usurped by the greatly expanded and far superior Persona 4 Golden , which is where I racked up my New Game+ playthroughs. Even as I have become more time-poor over the years, I would still dip into its subsequent post-Vita port…

Every year, millions of people who qualify for food assistance never get it. The money exists and they meet the eligibility rules, but they don’t know that the program exists, or if they qualify. For others, the application is too long and complicated. Public interest technology can fill these gaps between what a policy promises and what a person experiences. Public interest technology is a combin…
A president telling a room of CEOs he is optimistic about a bill is not a legislative event. It has no docket number, no vote count, and no legal consequence. What happened on either side of that meeting does have all three. On Wednesday, August 19, President Trump hosted crypto and traditional finance executives at the White House and called on Congress to pass what he described as a fair version…
Does every existing IP need a movie adaptation? The answer is no, of course, but I'm quietly confident in the upcoming live-action version of hit Hideo Kojima franchise, Death Stranding . Why? Well, let's start with the concept. In the game, courier Sam must reconnect a broken America after an apocalyptic event merged the worlds of the living and the dead. Add in distributor A24 and the man who di…

At the end of August, Rockstar Games treated us to our first official look at Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay . The only problem? It was captured on PlayStation 5, leaving Xbox owners hanging. That's not a huge deal in a vacuum, as every video game trailer has to be captured on something , and the game isn't coming to PC at launch. It's an issue because there are plenty of folks out there who own the…
TCL has revealed its new P80 series of phones at the 2026 edition of IFA Berlin, and luckily, I’ve been able to try them for myself already. The TCL P80 Ultra, P80 Pro, and P80 were all on display, and I was genuinely impressed by all three devices. But it was the first two models that really caught my attention. And that’s because the P80 Ultra and P80 Pro combine a vivid, eye-catching AMOLED dis…

When most people picture someone readying for a date, the routine will most likely involve a rigorous hygiene regimen and picking a nice outfit before stepping out of the house. But for a select few of men in the manosphere, a date-ready look is skipping a few steps, betting on natural body odor as a seductive device. The bizarre trend shared on social media is dubbed “Pheromone-maxxing,” a sort o…
Every large financial institution I've worked with sits on an ocean of financial data. Payments, transfers, settlements, reconciliations. Millions of events a day, all logged, all structured, all technically "available." And yet most of that data never reaches the people who make the decisions that matter. It gets stuck in dashboards nobody opens, reports nobody reads past the first page, or syste…

When was the last time you saw a truly unforgettable Apple ad? Steve Jobs built Apple into an empire by making advertising history, turning laptops and MP3 players into status symbols. But on the eve of another iPhone launch , it’s been a decade since Apple made a classic commercial . In fact, the biggest ad of the Tim Cook era was 2024’s tone-deaf 'Crush' ad , which people hated. So,…
