Breaking down Trump’s big gift to the AI industry

theverge.com Lauren Feiner 2025-12-31 22:35:40

President Donald Trump’s plan to promote America’s AI dominance involves discouraging “woke AI,” slashing state and federal regulations, and laying the groundwork to rapidly expand AI development and adoption. Trump’s proposal, released on July 23rd, is a sweeping endorsement of the technology, full of guidance that ranges from specific executive actions to directions for future research. Some of the new plan’s provisions (like promoting open-source AI) have garnered praise from organizations t

Android’s new ‘Expanded’ dark mode darkens apps without a dark theme — but there’s a catch

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-02 08:11:48

Megan Ellis / Android Authority TL;DR For accessibility, Android will soon let you enable a dark theme in apps that don’t have one. A new “Expanded” dark mode option forces apps to go dark, but it may cause visual issues. This feature is live in the second Android Canary build, but its stable release date is unknown. If you tell people that you use light mode on your phone, some people will look at you like you’re crazy. That’s because many people prefer dark mode UIs because they’re general

GPT-5 is expected to be a more powerful model that incorporates the company’s o3 model and other technologies. Google has many competitors in the AI space, but none bigger than OpenAI.

Google DeepMind's Aeneas model can restore fragmented Latin text

At its best, AI is a tool, not an end result. It allows people to do their jobs better, rather than sending them or their colleagues to the breadline. In an example of "the good kind," Google DeepMind has created an AI model that restores and contextualizes ancient inscriptions. Aeneas (no, it's not pronounced like that) is named after the hero in Roman mythology. Best of all, the tool is open-source and free to use. Ancient Romans left behind a plethora of inscriptions.

Despite Elon Musk stepping away from his DOGE activities, Tesla’s sales have continued to slide.
