C. Scott Brown / Android Authority After spending a few years setting itself up, Nothing boldly launched the Nothing Phone 3 as its top-tier flagship this week.

Free Lunch Is Over for the AI That Broke the Web

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-08-12 17:01:56

The foundational deal of the modern web, a handshake agreement that powered two decades of search and content, is officially dead. Cloudflare just put a price on scraping the internet, and it’s coming for artificial intelligence’s free lunch. Almost 30 years ago, two Stanford grad students, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, built Google on a simple bargain: content creators would let them copy the entire web in exchange for traffic. For years, that traffic powered ad revenue, subscriptions, and the g

NASA’S James Webb Space Telescope has captured its first direct image of an exoplanet

NASA’S James Webb Space Telescope has captured direct images of a planet outside of our solar system, which is the first time it has accomplished such a feat. This is a very big deal because exoplanets don't put out much light, so researchers typically discover new planets through indirect methods like keeping track of shadows as they pass across a host star. Webb, however, didn't have to do all that. It has directly captured images of a planet called TWA 7 b . Scientists believe the planet is
