Forget AGI - Meta is going after 'superintelligence' now

zdnet.com Webb Wright 2025-09-23 09:32:00

Chesnot/Getty Images The most powerful tech leaders in Silicon Valley have been racing to build artificial general intelligence (AGI), a theoretical computer that, as some would define it, can outperform humans across every economically valuable task. Also: Apple's Goldilocks approach to AI at WWDC is a winner. Here's why Some leaders have their sights set even higher, on artificial "superintelligence," a system that's unfathomably more intelligent than human beings, so much so that our compa

Kerry Wan/ZDNET While the Nintendo Switch 2 launched only a week ago, it's already set the record for being the fastest-selling Nintendo console ever. Today, the company shared that the latest 2-in-1 gaming system sold over 3.5 million units worldwide in its first four days. For reference, the original Nintendo Switch sold 2.74 million units in its first month, while Sony sold 4.4 million units of the PlayStation 5 in seven weeks, according to Daniel Ahmad, director of research and insights at

Here's how I finally cracked a tricky Linux problem with this AI terminal app

Warp is scary good at fixing problems. Screenshot by Jack Wallen/ZDNET I've been using Linux for a very, very long time, and it's rare that I encounter an issue I cannot resolve. However, a few weeks ago, such a problem occurred. The issue was caused by an installed application upgrade that required a dependency that the apt package manager couldn't solve. This meant I couldn't update or upgrade the system, and that, my friends, is a big problem. I tried to resolve the issue. I even attempted

I clearly remember, but can't date it. I was working for Mozilla messaging at the time (momo), being the QA lead for Thunderbird. It was at the end of one of the Mozilla All-hands, maybe in 2011 or 2012. At one of the ending keynotes, we were introduced to Boot 2 Gecko. A hack that would let US - Mozilla own the platform to run a mobile browser on. At the time, the iPhone was going strong and Google was trying to catch up with Android.

Type-based vs. Value-based Reflection

Type-based vs Value-based Reflection Frequently, whenever the topic of Reflection comes up, I see a lot of complains specifically about the new syntax being added to support Reflection in C++26. I’ve always thought of that as being largely driven by unfamiliarity — this syntax is new, unfamiliar, and thus bad. I thought I’d take a different tactic in this post: let’s take a problem that can only be solved with Reflection and compare what the solution would look like between: the C++26 value-ba

A few eagle-eyed readers have noticed that it’s been 4 weeks since my last entry in what I have been thinking of as my “niblet series” — one small piece per week, 1000 words or less, for the next three months.

Solar Orbiter Captures First Clear Views of Sun’s South Pole—and It’s a Hot Mess

For more than 60 years, various spacecraft and telescopes have journeyed through space to stare at the Sun, capturing haunting images of the giant ball of hot gas at the heart of our solar system. Our view of the star is limited, however, by Earth’s orbital plane, which allows us to observe the Sun’s equator head-on while its polar regions remain in a frustrating blind spot.

Pentagon Has Been Pushing Americans to Believe in UFOs for Decades, New Report Finds

UFOs have been back in the news a lot lately, and it may be the case that the government wants it that way. Last week, the Wall Street Journal published the first of a two-part series that probes the ways in which the Defense Department has been responsible for creating and fostering the UFO mythology in America. The article shows that the government has, at various points over the years, purposefully sown disinformation about UFOs, in an effort to make Americans believe in little green men. Th

Apple WWDC 2025 Live: Liquid Glass Design Takes Over iOS 26, MacOS, CarPlay and More

Apple/Screenshot by Joe Maldonado/CNET The Camera app in iOS 26 is nearly bare, populated primarily with a shutter button and a switch to toggle between Photo and Video modes. It's the one app so far where I imagine Apple's designers said, "Let's do Liquid Glass, but even less." And from a visual standpoint, I get the appeal: You want to be absorbed by the photo you're about to take, not distracted by the controls around the periphery.
