What to Do With AI After You've MASTERED the Basics

When it comes to generative AI, mastering the art of crafting a basic prompt that will return a solid response is a great first step. But it’s a bit like buying a sports car just to drive it to the grocery store. It may get the job done, but there’s so much more it can do. Once you’re past the stage of asking an AI to draft an email or explain a concept to you like you’re five, it’s time to put the tech to actual work. Here are five intermediate ways to weave AI into your daily workflow. Reverse

The Uber Appeal Process Drivers Say Is a COMPLETE Illusion

Devins Baker, an Uber driver, was driving a passenger to the San Francisco airport in late 2024 when, out of the corner of his eye, he saw another car driving across the highway lanes. He hit his brakes to avoid crashing. The passenger in the back of his car, who Baker said wasn’t wearing a seatbelt, fell out of his seat. Baker safely dropped him at the airport, but then when he opened the app to take another ride, it was almost entirely blacked out. Despite maintaining a nearly five-star rating

Why Xbox Exclusives Just Got More COMPLICATED Than Ever

The Saudi Director's Murder Mystery That Fell FLAT

Despite having a lot on its mind, Haifaa al-Mansour’s murder mystery “Unidentified” is an unfortunate misfire. The Saudi trailblazer — whose 2012 drama “Wadjda” was the first feature shot entirely in the Kingdom, and the first Saudi film by a woman — returns with what ought to be a searing indictment of gendered norms under […]

Why Nobody at the Tony Awards Would Thank Scott RUDIN

Broadway shared the wealth at the 79th Tony Awards on Sunday. “Death of a Salesman,” a radical revival that restages Arthur Miller’s classic in a garage, was the big winner with six prizes, while “Schmigadoon!,” “The Lost Boys” and “Ragtime” each earned four statues. But no single show dominated the evening. Instead, it was a […]

Tyne Daly on Why 68 Living People Beat AI EVERY Time

Why Nobody Trusts Anyone Anymore — And the RADICAL Plan to Fix It

One of the first things I noticed when I went to live in former Eastern Bloc countries was how often conspiracy theories came up in everyday conversation. The institutions of society had lost trust long ago, so the official version of anything was always in doubt. People formed their own narratives to explain nearly everything. Today we’re seeing something similar in America. An annual Gallup survey finds very little trust across almost every institutional class, including businesses. For exampl

The Rare Architecture Designs Being Resurrected From the VAULT

Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, the giant of corporate office architecture in the mid-20th century, has its fingerprints on some of the most iconic buildings in American business. From Sears Tower in Chicago to IBM’s New York headquarters to Lever House in midtown Manhattan, these towers became skyline definers, and symbols of postwar American economic power. But zoom in from those skyline views, and you’ll see that SOM‘s designs were more encompassing than the buildings themselves. Taking a tota

The Stunning Lamp Made From Something You Throw AWAY Every Morning

You can’t make a Mod-u without breaking a few eggs. The lamp by the Australian designer Joanne Odisho is named to emphasize the fact you can configure and stack its modular system yourself, but the material it’s made from is more noteworthy—it’s an eggshell composite. Odisho began working with eggshells after she was assigned to create a new material for furniture design using food waste while studying at RMIT University in Melbourne, and it’s since evolved into an ongoing exploration. “The proc

The Penn Station Transformation Nobody Expected to ACTUALLY Happen

Inside, narrow walkways would be expanded and lo
