Their move has paid off, as the company recently raised $4.8 million in funding.

People often credit my good handwriting to my Catholic school education—like a nun with a ruler and a taste for corporal punishment perfected my penmanship. But that’s not why.

Horror Story Looms as Children Get Stuffed Animals Powered by AI

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-09 15:04:18

From Steven Spielberg's creepy "AI" (2001) to M3GAN (2022), toys imbued with artificial intelligence have been a source of fascination and terror in pop culture for decades. Now, in the face of all those cautionary tales, a new class of vaguely menacing chatty toys are being sold online — but unlike the "Gremlin"-esque Furbies of yore, these are powered by cutting-edge AI, and their danger quotient lies in what they may tell children or share with outside companies.

How Alien Life Could Exist Without Water

The search for alien life usually hinges on finding the same conditions that sustain life on Earth. But what if aliens don’t need the same things that we need to survive? A new proposal tackles this question for water—arguably one of the most important factors in the search for alien life.

The 4 Best Invisible Hearing Aids of 2025, Tested and Reviewed

Stigmas should be stigmatized. Whether we’re talking about mental health or wearing cargo pants, the world would benefit from less societal shade. For hearing aids, these often-bulky devices can age a wearer faster than gray hair or referencing Jefferson Airplane deep cuts. But despite often being associated with seniors, more than 9 million Americans between the ages of 20 and 59 have some degree of hearing loss. Still, the stigma is enough to keep most of these people from even considering an

How much money should you expect to spend on a hearing aid? The answer depends primarily on whether you’re looking into over-the-counter or prescription hearing aids. Unsurprisingly, the latter is a wallet guzzler, with average costs between $2,000 to $8,000. But OTCs can ring up quite a tab in their own right, and our most highly rated devices will still run you about $800 to $2,000 a pair.

At just 0.96 grams each, the Ceretone Core One were so light they threatened to blow away in the wind. With a price of $349 per pair, they had a similarly minimal effect on your bank account. The trouble with the original Ceretone Core One is that they just weren’t very good as hearing aids. They were not tunable, suffered from
