Hey, you know those politicians and captains of industry who tell us AI will be running the world in a few years’ time? Turns out one of the most sophisticated models currently in use can’t even operate a vending machine without screwing things up . Anthropic has released findings of a test where it put a chatbot in charge of a “store” (really, some baskets, a small refrigerator and a payment terminal in its office).

How and Where to Buy Used Camera Gear to Save Money

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-02-21 17:00:15

Beware! Buying used camera gear is addictive. Photography can be an expensive hobby and finding out how easy it is to get great gear at a reasonable price only leads to buying even more gear at a "reasonable" price. Trust me, I've done it a lot. Finding the lens or camera you want at a lower price is great, but even better is finding older, discontinued models that can give that retro look with no editing required. While eBay is the obvious answer for finding anything used, that's only one opti
