gizmodo.com Ed Cara 2025-09-26 23:05:43

When it comes to weight loss, surgery still reigns supreme. Research out today shows that people undergoing bariatric surgery tend to lose significantly more weight than people taking the newest, most effective GLP-1 medications for obesity. Scientists at New York University conducted the study, which analyzed real-world data from obesity patients. People who received surgery lost five times more weight over a two year span on average than those who were prescribed a GLP-1 drug, they found. The

AI copyright anxiety will hold back creativity

technologyreview.com Nitin Nohria 2025-09-26 21:00:00

During a later visit to a Picasso exhibit in Milan, I came across a famous informational diagram by the art historian Alfred Barr, mapping how modernist movements like Cubism evolved from earlier artistic traditions. Picasso is often held up as one of modern art’s most original and influential figures, but Barr’s chart made plain the many artists he drew from—Goya, El Greco, Cézanne, African sculptors. This made me wonder: If a generative AI model had been fed all those inputs, might it have pro

Fujifilm X half: Is it the perfect family camera?

When Fujifilm announced the Fujifilm X half, the internet was literally divided into two halves. Some people were disappointed that it offered limited features for its high price, while others were delighted and found it intriguing. In fact, some even predicted that the X half would sell out quickly. As someone who used Fujifilm cameras for a decade, starting with a X-T1 and then moving on to the X100F, X-H1, X-T30, and X100V, and finally switching to a Leica M11, I have some thoughts about the

Borderlands 4 recommended specs call for an RTX 3080 and 32GB RAM

A hot potato: Now that people are no longer angry over Borderlands 4 possibly costing $80 (it's actually $70 for the standard edition), something else is causing plenty of outrage: the game's PC requirements. Asking for an RTX 3080 as the recommended GPU does seem excessive, and even the minimum specs are higher than expected. Borderlands 4's system requirements on its Steam page are certainly higher than one would expect. Even the bare minimum requirements, where we usually see ancient and/or
