futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-25 17:43:52

The long-awaited release of OpenAI's GPT-5 has gone over with a wet thud. Though the private sector continues to dump billions into artificial intelligence development, hoping for exponential gains, the research community isn't convinced.

Fighting with YouTube to show a preview image

TLDR: Click here for code to implement a lightweight, resilient clickable YouTube preview. YouTube videos are expensive to load on a web page. This compounds if you want your page to display many videos at the same time for the user to choose from. Before the user even plays the video, it loads 4MB onto your previously zippy page. Of course, YouTube does a decent job of caching these resources, but your browser is still doing all this work, creating another complete page context per video, exe

A new report from Bloomberg dives deep into Apple’s plans to lean on artificial intelligence as a way to expand into robotics, home security, and smart displays. One interesting tidbit in the report is that Apple is aiming to develop a system of smart home cameras and other home security products to compete with the likes of Amazon’s Ring brand.

Scientists Unveil Wild New Way to Explore the Edge of Space

Scientists often refer to the mesosphere as the “ignorosphere”—a region that’s too high for planes or weather balloons to explore, yet too low for satellites to probe. Despite our technological advances, we’ve yet to find a decent way to monitor this large stretch of air, which lies about 37 miles (60 kilometers) above the surface.
