Melania Trump's Audiobook Is Narrated by an AI Copy of Herself

futurism.com Unknown 2026-02-24 20:45:26

Let's get one thing straight: it's hard to be married to the president. From coming up with epoch-defining slogans like "Be Best" to decking the White House halls with bizarre Christmas decor, it's a tougher gig than most of us can imagine. Our current first lady, Melania Trump, is well aware of the challenge after her previous four-year stint in the White House. Notoriously private — or perhaps just too busy to make public appearances — the first lady's life has been shrouded in mystery. Howe

Anthropic Shredded Millions of Physical Books to Train its AI

Today in schnozz-smashing on-the-nose metaphors for the AI industry's rapacious destruction of the arts: exactly how Anthropic gathered the data it needed to train its Claude AI model. As Ars Technica reports, the Google-backed startup didn't just crib from millions of copyrighted books, a practice that's ethically and legally fraught on its own. No — it cut the book pages out from their bindings, scanned them to make digital files, then threw away all those millions of pages of the original te

Loss of key US satellite data could send hurricane forecasting back 'decades'

news.ycombinator.com Eric Holthaus 2026-02-24 21:39:08

A critical US atmospheric data collection program will be halted by Monday, giving weather forecasters just days to prepare, according to a public notice sent this week. Scientists that the Guardian spoke with say the change could set hurricane forecasting back “decades”, just as this year’s season ramps up. In a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) message sent on Wednesday to its scientists, the agency said that “due to recent service changes” the Defense Meteorological Sate

Scientists Intrigued to Discover That Human Brains Are Glowing Faintly

futurism.com Unknown 2026-02-24 22:00:19

Image by Getty / Futurim Developments Scientists have some exciting news: your brain is likely glowing, whether you can see it or not. The news comes from researchers at Algoma University in Ontario, who found evidence that the human brain, of all things, possesses luminescent properties. Essentially, they found that as the brain metabolizes energy, it releases super-faint traces of visible light. Called ultra-weak photon emissions (UPEs), the flashes of light are emitted when electrons break

Couples Retreat for Humans Dating AIs Becomes Skin-Crawlingly Uncomfortable

A well-intentioned writer decided to get a group of humans and their AI companions together for a cabin retreat. Somehow, it went worse than anyone could have imagined. As Johns Hopkins science writer Sam Apple described in a new essay for Wired, the apps that each human participant used to communicate with their AI companions varied — but the intensity, obsession, and affection they felt for their digital paramours seemed very real, albeit sometimes tortured.

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority For years, many of us have gone directly to the big carriers for phone service. But with rising costs and the gradual disappearance of extras like streaming perks, is it time to consider an alternative? While it’s true that Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile control the only three mobile networks with wide national coverage, there are plenty of other carriers that piggyback off this same infrastructure.

Scientists Retrace 30k-Year-Old Sea Voyage, in a Hollowed-Out Log

In 1947, against the best navigational advice, the Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl and five crew members set sail from Peru on a balsa wood raft to test his theory that ancient South American cultures could have reached Polynesia. The frail vessel, called Kon-Tiki, crossed several thousand nautical miles of the Pacific in 103 days and showed that his anthropological hunch was at least feasible.

A neural brain implant provides near instantaneous speech

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-02-24 20:00:58

Stephen Hawking, a British physicist and arguably the most famous man suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), communicated with the world using a sensor installed in his glasses. That sensor used tiny movements of a single muscle in his cheek to select characters on a screen. Once he typed a full sentence at a rate of roughly one word per minute, the text was synthesized into speech by a DECtalk TC01 synthesizer, which gave him his iconic, robotic voice.

Plantaform Smart Indoor Garden Review: Rewarding but Risky

It was about a week into my journey as a hydroponic lettuce farmer when I noticed my Mila air purifier, set to auto mode, was running at full blast. Its internal air quality sensor told me the air was dirty. Not sure if the sensor was overly sensitive, I swapped it out for the more powerful and far quieter IQ Air Atem X (9/10 WIRED Recommends) and set it on auto mode. Next time I went into my son’s room, the Atem was running at its highest speed. I checked the room’s IQAir Visual Pro Indoor Air
