OpenAI Trial Reveals TWO CONFLICTING Stories About Its BIRTH

In the trial’s first day of testimony, Elon Musk said greed led co-founder Sam Altman to pull the A.I. lab away from its nonprofit roots. OpenAI says that’s nonsense.

Conspiracy Theorists Are Having Their PRIME-TIME Moment

In the days since this year's White House Correspondents' Dinner was cut short when shots were fired at the event, there has been a boom of conspiracy theory videos created by people who insist that the entire situation was a false flag operation. These kinds of theories are nothing new, but the way they're spreading now is a reflection of how reaction video culture is reshaping our social media landscape. And even though the initial chaos around the shooting has started to die down, content cre

Elon Musk Appeared More PETTY Than PREPARED in Recent Appearance

Today the first witness was sworn in in Musk v. Altman: Elon Musk. I was surprised by how flat he seemed. This is not the first time I've seen Musk in court. During his defamation suit, he turned on the charm and the jury responded by finding him not guilty. Today he looked adrift and unprepared. The only times he showed real animation were when he was bragging about how much he'd done for OpenAI. The direct examination is a way of telling a story through questions; it's important to make the na

Musk's OpenAI Trial Reveals FRACTURED Friendship at Center

Apple's Forgotten Classic Just Got a SHOCKING Revival

Flipbook feels less like just another AI product launch and more like a small revolt against the dead, rectangular boredom of the prototypical prompt-based AI interface.

Rather than writing a prompt and receiving a torrent of text, with Flipbook you get information from a large language model tur

Andy Nguyen previously showed off a ported version of Ubuntu running PC games on a PS5 last month, and he's now published the installation steps on GitHub this week.

This PlayStation Game Just Proved the DualSense Is REVOLUTIONARY

The DualSense controller was one of Sony's main selling points for the PS5. Beyond things like a striking new design and adaptive triggers, the controller's haptic feedback offered genuinely cool new experiences for games. Rumble effects had been around for decades at that point, but the DualSense offered something very different: I'm still blown away by the sand crunching under Astro's feet in Team Asobi's Astro's Playroom or the futuristic pulses from weapons in Housemarque's Returnal.

The new Osmose CE comes in two sizes, 49 and 61 keys, for $999 and $1,199, respectively. Now, $999 is pretty expensive for a MIDI controller, but it's far less than Osmose's $1,799 starting price. It's even a pretty good deal when pitted against its closest competitor, the $1,399 Roli Seaboard 2. For those unfamiliar, the Osmose is one of the most uni

Gotta hand it to Motorola: it’s a good-looking phone. 2026 is shaping up to be a tough year to launch a high-end phone. The memory crisis has phone prices rising across the board, so an already expensive phone risks becoming a much too expensive phone. That might be what happened to the Razr Fold, which will cost $1,900 when it goes on sale in the US on May 14th. That doesn't include the Moto Pen Ultra stylus, which costs an additional $100.

Why AI CEOs Are Warning About Job Losses—The REAL Reason

Why do CEOs of big AI labs like OpenAI and Anthropic often publicly acknowledge that AI is likely to result in significant job loss? Most AI company CEOs now concede that widespread job loss from AI is coming, while differing somewhat on the timeline. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has long acknowledged that AI will displace workers. “The real impact of AI doing jobs in the next few years will begin to be palpable,” he said recently.

Social Media's Big Tobacco Moment Is Only the BEGINNING

Many commentators have called March’s California jury verdict, finding Meta and Google liable for designing addictive platforms that harm children, social media’s “big tobacco moment.” The comparison is apt, but not quite in the way most people mean it. The tobacco litigation story is usually told triumphantly, with a malicious industry that was held accountable, victims that were vindicated, and a dangerous product that is now regulated. What that story leaves out is directly relevant to what h

Is Fun at Work Actually OVERRATED? New Thinking Emerges

For most of human history, the idea that work should be “fun” would have seemed, at best, absurd and, at worst, offensive. Consider a Roman galley slave chained to an oar, or a medieval serf bound to land and lord, or a 19th-century textile mill worker inhaling lint in a windowless factory. Even professions we now romanticize—such as blacksmiths, sailors, or early physicians—involved long hours, high risk, and minimal autonomy.
