[If you want to see how AI handled generating Pro-ICE chants, you can check it out here.] I wanted to know what kind of activist a chatbot could be. More than two years and a half after ChatGPT stunned the world and kicked off the current AI arms race, I posed a simple question to the five most prominent AI systems on the U.S. market: OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, Anthropic’s Claude, Elon Musk’s Grok (from xAI), and Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta AI. My prompt was direct: “I want to write a pro

CNET's top pick is Xfinity as the best internet provider in Fort Lauderdale, thanks to its wide availability, reliable performance and affordable pricing tiers. With coverage extending across nearly the entire city and download speeds that can easily handle streaming, gaming, and remote work, it’s a top choice for both new residents and longtime locals. Xfinity isn’t the only name worth knowing. AT&T Fiber is ideal for those chasing top-ti
Diagnosing the environmental sustainability of the internet might seem, at first, like trying to figure out where the molecules of water in your morning cup of coffee originated. Water is constantly evolving, cycling through our environments and often carrying the secrets of the places it last passed through. The internet, in all its complexity, appears to operate in a similar fashion. Every time we log online, we step foot into an incredibly intricate stream of data, often cycled, reused and e
What is the best internet provider in Henderson? According to CNET, the best internet provider in Henderson, Nevada, is Cox. The service offers extensive network coverage and plans designed to suit both casual internet users and heavy internet enthusiasts. Quantum Fiber is another strong contender, offering reliable fiber internet with speeds up to 2,000Mbps for $150/month. For those prioritizing affordability, T-Mobile Home Internet is an excellent option, providing eligible mobile customers
At over 3.5 million units sold in just four days, the Nintendo Switch 2 is now the fastest-selling game console of all time, and shows no signs of stopping, with some retailers still having trouble keeping them in stock. This is all despite the jaw-dropping $450 price tag that kept some consumers from clicking "Add to Cart." Until recently, I was one of those purchase-shy shoppers, waiting for a cute, limited-edition model or an OLED screen. Then I watched several dozen social media clips of Co
In an air-conditioned tent on a sweltering Los Angeles day at Summer Game Fest, I sat down to play a hand of the card game Magic: The Gathering and drew a handful of characters from Final Fantasy. Sitting across from me was the man who oversaw the process of turning some of the world's most beloved video game characters into playable cards for what's shaping up to be Magic's most popular set ever -- already a best seller a month before its release. Magic: The Gathering is a storied collectible
What is the best internet provider in New Jersey? Verizon Fios is CNET's top pick of the best internet provider in New Jersey. We recommend it for most households because of its fast, symmetrical speeds, consistent pricing and great signup offers. The ISP offers four plans ranging from $50 to $110 a month. If you need an alternative, Xfinity is another popular option with affordable plans, bundles and prepaid services. Xfinity's service starts at $55 a month and goes up to $105 for the 2,100Mbp
What is the best internet provider in Idaho Falls? CNET’s top pick for internet in Idaho Falls is ConnectFast, which offers 1,000Mbps symmetrical speeds for just $40 per month. However, keep in mind that this price doesn’t include the $25 Idaho Falls Fiber infrastructure fee. Even with that extra cost, the overall value remains impressive compared to other broadband options in the area. Idaho Falls residents also benefit from the city-owned Idaho Falls Fiber Network, a public-private partnersh
Amid the many AI chatbots and avatars at your disposal these days, you'll find all kinds of characters to talk to: fortune tellers, style advisers, even your favorite fictional characters. But you'll also likely find characters purporting to be therapists, psychologists or just bots willing to listen to your woes. There's no shortage of generative AI bots claiming to help with your mental health but you go that route at your own risk. Large language models trained on a wide range of data can be
MyQ compatibility with other ecosystems focuses more on vehicles and security devices than it does on classic smart home assistants, which makes sense since you're usually controlling it from outside of the home. It works with Amazon Key and Walmart+ InHome to get deliveries in your garage, with Ring, plus several cars, and IFTTT. Specs Smart home ecosystem: IFTTT, Amazon Key, Ring, Walmart+ InHome, and vehicles Power source: Wired / outlet Entry options: App control, manual button, keypad (pur
The first Switch was such a hit that Nintendo decided not to mess with a good thing. Instead of releasing a successor that feels like a generational leap or a pivot in a new direction, it’s following up the hugely successful original with the Switch 2 — a welcome upgrade that largely sticks to the formula. It looks about the same, works about the same, and plays most of the same games. It’s the Switch, just better. Nintendo’s bet is that it doesn’t have to wow people all over again, and so it m
One of the biggest surprises of the Nintendo Switch 2’s reveal was its proposed accessibility. For years, Nintendo has been known for accidentally stumbling on accessibility solutions while stubbornly refusing to engage with the broader subject. Yet, in the Switch 2, there appeared a more holistic approach to accessibility for which disabled players have been crying out. This was supported by a webpage dedicated to the Switch 2’s hardware accessibility. However, specifics were thin and no furth
Nintendo Switch 2 The Switch 2 isn't as exciting or innovative as you might want or expect from the big N, but it proves that even when Nintendo plays it safe, there's still a unique magic to be found. I wasn’t going to buy a Nintendo Switch 2. With no major Nintendo games releasing for a while and better and cheaper ways of playing indie titles, my original Switch had been gathering dust for months; I’d largely pivoted to spending my fleeting gaming hours on my PC rig, a Steam Deck OLED, and t
Weiquan Lin/Getty Images When companies begin taking the first steps toward AI adoption, one of the first pieces of advice they receive is to address the quality of their data. However, another foundational element that is often overlooked, but is just as critical to the success of AI deployment, is network infrastructure. At Cisco Live, ZDNET spoke with Anurag Dhingra, SVP and GM of the Enterprise Connectivity and Collaboration Group, to learn more about the role network infrastructure plays

Joseph Navarro’s apartment was a typical Bay Area bachelor pad: on the small side, somewhat lacking in homey touches or creature comforts. But the location was hard to beat: stashed away inside the Burlingame Caltrain station. Images released Thursday by the San Mateo County district attorney’s office show the interior of the secret dwelling that Navarro, a former Caltrain deputy director, built illegally using public funds. Navarro lived in the snug chambers for years, but he will now reside
Mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) has become a cornerstone of operations research. This is driven by the enhanced efficiency of modern solvers, which can today find globally optimal solutions within seconds for problems that were out of reach a decade ago. The versatility of these solvers allowed successful applications in many areas, such as transportation, logistics, supply chain management, revenue management, finance, telecommunications, and manufacturing. Despite the impressive succes
What is the best internet provider in Raleigh? AT&T Fiber is CNET’s top pick for internet in Raleigh thanks to its widespread fiber coverage, fast upload and download speeds, and competitive pricing. It’s the best all-around option in a city that’s already ahead of the curve when it comes to internet performance. If you’re looking for even faster speeds, Google Fiber is the fastest provider in Raleigh, though its premium pricing may not fit every budget. For those outside fiber coverage areas
Albuquerque, New Mexico: home of green chiles, 300 days of sunshine, the International Balloon Fiesta... and achingly slow internet. Of the top 100 cities in the US, Albuquerque ranks 85th, according to data from Ookla. (Disclaimer: Ookla is owned by Ziff Davis, the same company that owns CNET.) Home internet was a two-horse race in Albuquerque for years: CenturyLink DSL and Xfinity cable. I spent decades on DSL, watching my internet speed tests march slowly up to a maximum of 20 megabits per se

Waymo will temporarily limit robotaxi service in all of its nationwide markets, the company said Friday, as US cities prepare for a wave of protests of federal immigration policies and law enforcement and military crackdowns on demonstrators. The Alphabet subsidiary will stop service in Los Angeles altogether. Waymo spokesperson Sandy Karp confirmed the service pause and adjustments but declined to comment further. There is no indication how long the service changes will last. The adjustments
Today one of the biggest sets in Magic: The Gathering‘s recent history makes its grand arrival at last: Final Fantasy, the first of Magic‘s at-times-controversial “Universes Beyond” crossovers with other franchises to be given the full standard-legal treatment. It’s a marriage of two of gaming’s most beloved fantasy realms, and with absolute legions of fans of both Magic and Final Fantasy to please, it has to hit the highlights and mechanical flavoring of 16 mainline game’s worth of viable cards
There might finally be an answer about whether or not Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) knows if Clark Kent (David Corenswet) is really the caped superhero in red trunks, and it’s slipped into a quick teaser DC Studios just unleashed for Superman. While previous iterations of Superman’s love interest may have fallen for the glasses trick, the idea that being bespectacled could hide the Man of Steel’s true identity has always been a ridiculous notion. Director James Gunn has seemingly side-stepped th
Most of my readers are probably familiar with procedural programming, object-oriented programming (OOP), and functional programming (FP). The majority of top programming languages on all of the language popularity charts (like TIOBE) support all three to some extent. Even if a programmer avoided one or more of those three paradigms like the plague, they’re likely at least aware of them and what they’re about. Or they’re applying one of the paradigms while denying that they’re doing so, like Has
