ChatGPT's new study mode aims to curb student cheating and encourage critical thinking

The big picture: As summer winds down and students prepare to head back to class, OpenAI has introduced a new feature for ChatGPT meant to address one of the thorniest challenges facing educators in the AI age: the temptation for students to use chatbots as shortcut machines. Wired's Reece Rogers, who has closely covered the intersection of AI and education, reports that "study mode" is an attempt to steer student activity toward meaningful engagement rather than rote answer-seeking.

A new, faster-paced game mode is coming to Apex Legends on August 5

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-22 23:00:48

The next season of Apex Legends kicks off on August 5, and it will see the arrival of a new, permanent game mode. Respawn says it built Wildcard as a faster-paced alternative to the core battle royale mode. For instance, when you take out an enemy, they won't leave behind a death box. Instead, their loot will scatter around them, making it easier for you to spot and pick up an item you need or want. Another big difference here is legend stacking. You and your teammates will all be able to play

If you’re interested in a new MacBook Pro, the current M4 model is an excellent option. But the M5 MacBook Pro will launch in the coming year too, and decisions about whether to upgrade could be a lot more complicated than usual.

Galaxy S26 is dead, long live S26 Pro: Another leak points to Samsung’s flagship shakeup

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-24 00:42:58

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR We previously found code evidence within One UI 8 suggesting that Samsung’s next flagship lineup could consist of the Galaxy S26 Pro, Galaxy S26 Edge, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. However, GSMA listings for the base Galaxy S26 contradicted this finding. Previously listed as “Galaxy S26,” updated GSMA listings were spotted for SM-S942, which now list the same model number as the “Galaxy S26 Pro.” This corroborates our previous finding and suggests that the Galaxy

The Making of Dario Amodei

Dario Amodei doesn’t hesitate when I ask what’s gotten into him. The Anthropic CEO has spent 2025 at war, feuding with industry counterparts, members of the government, and the public’s perception of artificial intelligence. In recent months, he’s predicted that AI could soon eliminate 50% of entry-level, white-collar jobs. He’s railed against a ten-year AI regulation moratorium in the pages of the New York Times. And he’s called for semiconductor export controls to China, drawing a public rebu

ChatGPT’s Study Mode Is Here. It Won’t Fix Education’s AI Problems

wired.com Reece Rogers 2025-12-24 21:00:00

The school year starts soon for many students, and ChatGPT has announced a new “study mode” that aims to prevent—or at least, encourage against—students taking homework shortcuts. The mode is designed around the Socratic method, so when activated, OpenAI’s generative AI chatbot rejects direct requests for answers, instead guiding the user with open-ended questions. The new study mode is available to most logged-in users of ChatGPT, including those on the free version. OpenAI has significantly

Like Claude's Learning Mode , which Anthropic introduced in April, Study Mode will see ChatGPT adopt a Socratic approach to conversations.

To enable it, you must first maximize an app, then long-press the same maximize button to reveal a hidden menu with the “Immersive” option. This unintuitive method initially led users to believe the full screen feature was removed. Samsung made some big changes to DeX in its latest One UI 8 release.
