After more than 27,000 people signed our open letter to Oracle about the “JavaScript” trademark, we filed a formal Cancellation Petition with the US Patent and Trademark Office. Ten months in, we’re finally reaching the crucial discovery phase. Deno initiated this petition since we have legal standing as a JavaScript runtime, but it’s really on behalf of all developers. If we win, “JavaScript” becomes public domain – free for all developers, conferences, book authors, and companies to use witho

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-09-29 00:30:18

Filmmaker Charlie Kaufman’s got a lot to say about the state of the world—and why he thinks Hollywood is at least partially to blame for it. In a new interview with The Guardian, the mind behind 2004’s Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and this year’s short How to Shoot a Ghost said the film industry has “everything to do with [why] the world is in a terrible, terrible situation right now.” As part of said industry, Kaufman considers it a personal responsibility to “not put garbage into th

CEO Who Created AI Startup to Cheat on Homework Complains That AI Is Destroying Education

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-10 08:15:33

Months after debuting Cluely, the "undetectable AI that thinks for you," 21-year-old tech entrepreneur Chungin "Roy" Lee is decrying the dismal state of education due to AI. Indeed, there's little doubt that AI has completely flipped education on its head. The availability of large language models (LLMs) at the press of a finger is all but obliterating the minds of an entire generation of students, making literacy a thing of the past as big tech money floods into schools and teachers unions.

China's Electric Car Industry Is in Deep Trouble

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-14 08:14:50

China's electric vehicle industry is, by most accounts, experiencing unprecedented boom times: the cars are cheaper, consumers more primed to purchase them, and there are lots of viable options outside of Tesla. Unfortunately, that competition comes with a price — or rather, with a price war. As the New York Times reports, rabid competition among about 50 of the country's top EV automakers has led to repeated price-slashing in a manic hunt for new buyers. As those manufacturers race to the bott

In the dead of a cold December night in 2023, at a dump near Delhi, hundreds of men huddled around small bonfires, clutching paper cups of tea.

Much of the American public is dubious to neutral when it comes to artificial intelligence. A recent poll found that 71 percent of Americans were concerned about the technology “permanently” displacing human workers.
