The creepy AI era is here

theverge.com Jacob Kastrenakes 2025-07-31 06:00:00

Would you like Siri more if it had a face? Ever since Elon Musk added a weird anime girlfriend to Grok, I’ve been wondering if there’s a not-so-distant future where all of our AI assistants are much more clearly personified. Grok makes it feel deeply uncomfortable, but I’m not so sure it has to be that way: we’re basically just talking about Cortana. This week on The Vergecast, we’re talking all about AI, how powerful it can be in the home, and the uncomfortable feelings were getting talking to

My apologies, Samsung, I was unfamiliar with your Fold game

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-31 18:30:01

I spent a long time dismissing the Galaxy Z Fold as a ho-hum foldable that didn’t seem like it was interested in innovation. Maybe it’s because I’ve always been more of a fan of flip phones, but I never really felt like I wanted to give Samsung’s original foldable the time of day. And then, I got pushed out of my comfort zone. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 arrived on my doorstep, ready for review, and I decided to make the most of my adventure. I can’t believe I waited this long.

The Galaxy Z Fold 8 could finally get rid of one of the worst things about foldables

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-31 19:08:07

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 will apparently use the same “laser-drilled display metal plates” as the foldable iPhone. These parts reportedly enable a crease-free screen on Apple’s device, suggesting the Z Fold 8 won’t have a display crease, either. This would be a major step forward for the industry, as all foldable phones to date have a crease. Samsung has just launched the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which has a dramatically thinner and lighter form factor than p

No More Waiting: New Crypto Law Unlocks Cheaper, Faster Money for Everyone

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-07-31 19:52:16

For more than a decade, cryptocurrency lived in legal limbo. It was too weird to regulate, too volatile to trust, and too new for Washington to take seriously. That just changed. The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the GENIUS Act, the first major federal law regulating stablecoins, digital currencies backed by the U.S. dollar. The bill now heads to President Trump’s desk, where it’s expected to become law. Here’s what it means for you, your money, and the financial system around you.

Eight babies have been born in the UK thanks to a technology that uses DNA from three people: the two biological parents plus a third person who supplies healthy mitochondrial DNA. The babies were born to mothers who carry genes for mitochondrial diseases and risked passing on severe disorders. In the team’s approach, patients’ eggs are fertilized with sperm, and the DNA-containing nuclei of those cells are transferred into donated fertilized eggs that have had their own nuclei removed.
