Image by Mars / Kevin Dietsch via Getty / Futurism Developments From the jump, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s alliance with Donald Trump has been fraught: the former hates fast food and artificial additives, while the latter is known for his love of burgers and Diet Coke. Nowhere has that tension been more clear than in the newly-minted Health and Human Services secretary's war on synthetic food dyes, which is his first battle in what he's framing as a war to reconstitute the United States' ultraproc

Everyone Is Yelling at Apple

At 6,100 BTU cooling capacity, the Wave 3 is designed for a car, RV, tent, boat, or any space that might be either temporary or off the grid. The Wave 3 also has a slightly higher 6,800 BTU heat mode. I have a van and and a dog, so for me, the Wave 3 offers a specific type of assurance on hot or cold days.

US may get its own glitchy version of TikTok if Trump’s deal works out

Could Donald Trump possibly follow through on his campaign promise to save TikTok by finally making a deal that keeps the app operating in the US without compromising America's national security?

"We pretty much have a deal," Trump recently told reporters on Air Force One, suggesting that he thinks he wil

The Era of Exploration

Large language models are the unintended byproduct of about three decades worth of freely accessible human text online. Ilya Sutskever compared this reservoir of information to fossil fuel, abundant but ultimately finite. Some studies suggest that, at current token‑consumption rates, frontier labs could exhaust the highest‑quality English web text well before the decade ends. Even if those projections prove overly pessimistic, one fact is clear: today’s models consume data far faster than humans

AI is forcing the data industry to consolidate — but that’s not the whole story

The data industry is on the verge of a drastic transformation. The market is consolidating. And if the deal flow in the past two months is any indicator — with Databricks buying Neon for $1 billion and Salesforce snapping up cloud management firm Informatica for $8 billion — momentum is building for more. The acquired companies may range in size, age, and focus area within the data stack, but they all have one thing in common. These companies are being bought in hopes the acquired technology w

The latest threat from the rise of Chinese manufacturing

If in retrospect all that seems obvious, it’s only because the research by David Autor, an MIT labor economist, and his colleagues has become an accepted, albeit often distorted, political narrative these days: China destroyed all our manufacturing jobs! Though the nuances of the research are often ignored, the results help explain at least some of today's political unrest. It’s reflected in rising calls for US protectionism, President Trump’s broad tariffs on imported goods, and nostalgia for t
