Apple’s AI-Enabled iPad on a Robot Arm May Interrupt Your Conversations (In a Positive Way)

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-11-25 18:25:20

Sure, Apple’s AI-enhanced Siri rollout turned into a massive SNAFU that gave the Cupertino tech giant a rare black eye, but the company won’t quit on Apple Intelligence just yet. The latest reports suggest Apple will try and sell consumers on at-home robots set to arrive in the next two years, along with a version of its AI assistant that sports a face and “personality.” If the rumors are true, the company won’t stuff AI into a ball-shaped bot that users hopefully won’t trip over, but will put i

Waymo finally has a music experience worthy of its robotaxi

techcrunch.com Maxwell Zeff 2025-11-25 18:03:03

I’m riding in the back of a Waymo that’s autonomously navigating the busy streets of San Francisco with relative ease thanks to 29 external cameras, six radar, and five lidar sensors all feeding into an AI model. For just 15 bucks, I get to experience what feels like a miracle of modern technology, and yet, there’s a nagging thought I can’t shake. The music sucks in here. Waymo’s music-streaming feature has felt like an aged barnacle attached to a futuristic shell. Until this week, passengers

‘Alien: Earth’ Star Alex Lawther on That Very Sci-Fi Sibling Reunion

Alien: Earth has finally arrived, bringing weekly doses of Ridley Scott’s world of Alien—filtered through the creative lens of Noah Hawley—to sci-fi fans. The first two episodes (read io9’s recap here) had to spend a bit of time doing necessary setup, introducing the characters and how they fit into the story that’ll unfold. So far one of the most unique relationships is the one between Joe, aka Hermit (Alex Lawther) and Wendy (Sydney Chandler), formerly Marcy. They’re siblings, with a twist. A

You might want to think twice before you put a lot of stock in the latest stress charts from your fitness wearable. A recent study from the Netherlands' Leiden University, published in the Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science, has found that when smartwatches and similar devices record readings on stress, fatigue or sleep, they're frequently getting it wrong. Researchers studied 800 young adults using the same Garmin Vivosmart 4 smartwatch model. They compared the data the smartwatch

Best Organic Mattresses (2025): Birch, Avocado, Naturepedic, More

After years of testing, the Avocado Green hybrid mattress remains one of the best organic mattresses I've slept on. It's the only mattress my wife and I can agree on. She likes a soft mattress, and I prefer a firm one. This model somehow manages to be both without being too much of either. It's also good for combination sleepers like myself, who spend time in just about every position in the course of a night.

The road to artificial general intelligence

Artificial intelligence models that can discover drugs and write code still fail at puzzles a lay person can master in minutes. This phenomenon sits at the heart of the challenge of artificial general intelligence (AGI). Can today’s AI revolution produce models that rival or surpass human intelligence across all domains? If so, what underlying enablers—whether hardware, software, or the orchestration of both—would be needed to power them? Dario Amodei, co-founder of Anthropic, predicts some for

I believe that language models aren’t world models. It’s a weak claim — I’m not saying they’re useless, or that we’re done milking them. It’s also a fuzzy-sounding claim — with its trillion weights, who can prove that there’s something an LLM isn't a model of? But I hope to make my claim clear and persuasive enough with some examples.
