LinkedIn CEO says AI writing assistant is not as popular as expected

techcrunch.com Anthony Ha 2026-03-07 02:06:40

In Brief While LinkedIn users seem to have embraced AI, there’s one area that’s seen less uptake than expected, according to CEO Ryan Roslansky: AI-generated suggestions for polishing your LinkedIn posts. “It’s not as popular as I thought it would be, quite frankly,” Roslansky told Bloomberg. When asked why, he argued that the “barrier is much higher” to posting on LinkedIn, because “this is your resume online.” Plus, users can face real backlash if they post something that’s too obviously gen

I changed 6 settings on my Samsung TV to give it a significant performance boost

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Say you recently picked up a shiny new TV. You unbox it like a kid at Christmas and prepare to indulge in all its visual glory. You think to yourself, "This is 2025. TV technology is sizzling, and it's going to look amazing no matter what." So you plug it in and don't take one look at the default settings. Big mistake. Also: Your car's USB port is seriously underutilized: 5 features you're not taking advantage of I've been guilty of it. And I'm okay with that because it's wide

14 Best Office Chairs of 2025— I've Tested Nearly 60 to Pick Them

Replace Your Casters The wheels on the bottom of your chair are among the easiest parts to replace. If your current casters don't roll smoothly or are too loud, it might be worth replacing them instead of buying a whole new chair. I like these from Stealtho, a Ukrainian company. They'll work with nearly every office chair, though the company notes they don't work with Ikea chairs.

MIT student prints AI polymer masks to restore paintings in hours

MIT graduate student Alex Kachkine once spent nine months meticulously restoring a damaged baroque Italian painting, which left him plenty of time to wonder if technology could speed things up. Last week, MIT News announced his solution: a technique that uses AI-generated polymer films to physically restore damaged paintings in hours rather than months. The research appears in Nature.

How to turn off ACR on your TV (and what your TV stops tracking when you do)

zdnet.com Chris Bayer 2026-03-09 04:40:00

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Did you know that whenever you turn on your smart TV, you invite an unseen guest to watch it with you? These days, most popular TV models utilize automatic content recognition (ACR), a form of ad surveillance technology that gathers information about everything you watch and transmits it to a centralized database. Manufacturers then use your data to identify your viewing preferences, enabling them to deliver highly targeted ads. Also: 184 million passwords for Google, Microsof

How teachers are fighting AI cheating with handwritten work, oral tests, and AI

A hot potato: The fear that generative AI tools such as ChatGPT would lead to a generation of students cheating and plagiarizing work has come to pass. The situation is so bad that educators are now looking at multipe ways to stop the problem, or at least make the practice much more difficult. Ironically, one of them is to use AI.

Apple explores new technique to make AI better match users’ writing styles

As more users start relying on AI for writing tasks like email drafts and document summaries, one common frustration remains: the output often sounds way too generic. Even when models like ChatGPT or Gemini are given detailed prompts, they rarely nail a user’s individual tone or voice without plenty of manual tweaking. Apple is now proposing a solution.
