How would you react if your mother admitted to you she was dating Aubrey "Drake" Graham, the rap superstar from Toronto? And that this new boyfriend wasn't the real flesh-and-blood Drake — oh no — but is instead the AI chatbot version of Champagne Papi. This is an actual situation that was relayed by the Drake-dating mother in question in a Reddit group with the self-explanatory name of r/MyBoyfriendIsAI, which is now the focus of a first-of-its-kind, large-scale study on human-AI companion int

This slim MagSafe power bank from Anker is down to a record-low price

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-19 23:05:37

We can all be honest and say that carrying around a bulky power bank almost makes it seem like your phone dying isn't so bad. Between the heaviness and any necessary cords, they can just be a pain. So, we were intrigued when Anker debuted a new, very thin power bank this summer: the Anker Nano 5K MagGo Slim power bank. Now, both Anker and Amazon are running sales on it, dropping the price from $55 to $46. The 16 percent discount a new low for the power bank and available in the black and white

New Poll Finds That Americans Loathe AI

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-21 15:04:59

A new poll by the Pew Research Center has found that Americans are getting extremely fed up with artificial intelligence in their daily lives. A whopping 53 percent of just over 5,000 US adults polled in June think that AI will "worsen people’s ability to think creatively." Fifty percent say AI will deteriorate our ability to form meaningful relationships, while only five percent believe the reverse. While 29 percent of respondents said they believe AI will make people better problem-solvers,

Epic is continuing its attempts to turn Fortnite into a platform that’s bigger than just battle royale — this time by giving creators the ability to make and sell in-game items. Starting in December, Fortnite creators will be able to sell items directly from the islands they’ve built, using new tools that will be launching later on. The benefit, of course, is that creators on the platform will have a new revenue stream (currently, they earn revenue primarily based on engagement numbers). And Ep
