MIT Economist Warns AI Is Poised to Turn Economy Into "Mad Max" Scenario

MIT economist David Autor is warning that AI could create a "Mad Max" scenario, in which the job market becomes dominated by cheap and commoditized labor. Autor made his grim prediction during an interview on the "Possible" podcast, hosted by LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman and his chief of staff Aria Finger. When asked whether he thought society is headed towards a "Wall-E" scenario — where "people sit around on hovercraft armchairs watching holographic TV" — or much grimmer alternative, Auto

Google could soon protect your Android device from dangerous PWAs and WebAPKs (APK teardown)

Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority TL;DR Google could soon extend Play Protect to scan PWAs and WebAPKs during installation. This new feature could protect users from malicious PWAs used for phishing and data theft. Google has been silently protecting most Android devices through Google Play Protect, scanning the apps that users have installed, and warning them of nefarious ones. While platform-native apps remain the most popular method to access a service, Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) remain

iPhone 17e said to launch next spring, with identical display to 16e

It doesn’t sound like the upcoming model will be a major update, with today’s report indicating that it will use the exact same display as the iPhone 16e … This display was itself repurposed from the iPhone 14.

Amazon asked corporate employees to help fulfill grocery deliveries for Prime Day

Nothing Phone (3) Review: The Designer Phone

I like staring at the Nothing Phone (3). It isn't inherently better than comparably priced smartphones, but it's visually distinct, and let's be honest, a little weird. But weird is good. Phones are fantastic these days, whether you spend $300 or $1,300. When they can all generally do what we expect, aesthetics come to the forefront. From the red recording light on the back of this $799 Android phone to the quirky pedometer widget that tracks your steps via a stick figure, the Phone (3) feels f

Hate how big the OnePlus Watch 3 is? I tried the smaller 43mm version, and it’s almost perfect

Joe Maring / Android Authority Since its launch earlier this year, the OnePlus Watch 3 has only been available in a single (and large) 46mm case size. While I love the big, bulky design, that’s not true for everyone, and understandably so. Seemingly in direct response to that, OnePlus has launched the OnePlus Watch (43mm). The OnePlus Watch 3 (43mm) is exactly what the name suggests: a repackaging of the OnePlus Watch 3, but in a smaller 43mm-sized case. If you like the specs and features of t

Hands-on: These are my favorite iPadOS 26 accessories [Video]

I will continue to shout at the mountaintops that iPadOS 26 has completely changed what the iPad is to many people.

However, iPadOS 26 has made this a new reality for 95% of people who need a computer. But when you buy an iPad, you just get the iPad. So I wanted to share some of the best accessories to giv

macOS Tahoe 26 beta 3 makes tabs less confusing

One of the most common complaints in macOS Tahoe 26 betas 1 and 2 was the new tab UI in apps like Safari and Terminal, which added a black bar to the bottom of inactive tabs. In beta 3, Apple seems to have reversed course. Whether it was intentional or a bug on Apple’s part, many users had trouble quickly identifying the active tab. The low contrast between the selected tab and the rest of the UI, combined with that black underline on the non-active tabs, led to confusion, with some thinking th
