Your Phone Can't Tell If AI Wrote Your Text—And That's a PROBLEM

Two new experiments show that most people do not even consider that a personal message could be AI-generated, even when they themselves use artificial intelligence to write.

Now a gulf is growing between the phones on sale in the US and those available in the rest of the world.

Renny Harlin's Latest Film Combines Plane Crashes And Sharks—With PREDICTABLE Results

"Deep Water," which is very much a neo-'70s disaster film. should have been called "Airplane Crash into a Sea of Jaws." As it stands, the word in the film’s generic title that echoes that earlier Harlin movie is more than a little ironic, since "deep" is the exact word to describe what Renny Harlin’s movies are not. They are shallow. They are dramatically flat. They do not have interesting characters even on a schlock B-movie level. As a director, he has a sixth sense for how to reduce actors to

We often hear that failure is life’s best teacher, but
