These Rumored iPhone 17 Pro Max Features Make Me Want It Now

I've never been one to track rumors of upcoming iPhone models, even as I've followed Apple's mobile phone adventure from the beginning (yep, I was in the room where it started). Why chase today's speculation when we'll all find out what's coming during the new iPhone announcements in September? But that's the catch, isn't it? September is suddenly not so far away, which means now is the time when people start thinking about fall budgets and whether the iPhone they've been holding onto can make

The change is included as part of an update to the Steam Client that’s

First Tesla Drives Autonomously From Dealer to Buyer's House, Ends in Embarrassing Flub

11 Bit Studios clarifies its AI use in The Alters after player outcry

11 Bit Studios has drawn the ire of players for the undisclosed use of artificial intelligence in its recent release, The Alters. The new project from the team behind Frostpunk and This War of Mine is a narratively and thematically interesting take on a science fiction survival game. The project contains a lot of dialogue and written text, and some players discovered in-game copy that appeared to be generated by a large language model. The Steam storefront requires that games disclose when they

You're probably picturing a familiar setup: a lightweight web server (FastAPI, Flask, Express.js, etc.), some Python (or Node.js, or Go) handlers to parse JSON, a sprinkle of business logic, and then maybe persisting data to a traditional database like PostgreSQL or MySQL.

Meta Is Being Incredibly Sketchy About Training Its AI on Your Private Photos

Meta is demanding access to all of your photos, even the ones you haven't uploaded anywhere yet — and it's being incredibly shifty about what it intends to do with them. As The Verge reports, the Mark Zuckerberg-owned company refuses to rule out the possibility that it will use your phone's camera roll to train its AI models, and could only provide the assurance that it's not "currently" doing so. If the situation changes in the future, it would be a striking testament to the AI industry's desp

Wispr Flow is an AI that transcribes what you say right from the iPhone keyboard

This is a bit of a gimmick, but it’s also kind of cool. I didn’t type a word of what you are about to read. I dictated everything in this text into Wispr Flow, a cool dictation keyboard I have been trying for a few weeks. Here’s how it did: warts and all, with no hand-made corrections. When Whisper contacted me to pitch their Speech-to-Text AI keyboard, I was a bit skeptical. Even Apple has tried to deliver a native dictation punctuation feature, but it’s proven quite hit or miss.
