AI Companion App Shuts Down Amid Controversy

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-12 02:30:19

In the frenetic world of artificial intelligence, virtual companions have exploded into a market all their own. A recent survey found that some 72 percent of teens said they've experimented with artificial buddies. Of those, over 50 percent say they have a regular relationship with the chatbots. But there's no guarantee those companions will stick around forever — something users of the AI startup Dot are learning the hard way after the company announced it was going belly up on Friday.

China Is Suddenly Deploying AI Everywhere

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-12 03:15:19

While the United States rushes head-first into a self-inflicted economic crisis in an attempt to develop AI with human-level intelligence, China is eying a different goal. Last week, the Chinese State Council unveiled its ten-year plan to fully integrate AI into every aspect of the country's economy by 2035. Called "AI+," the ambitious plan sees AI becoming a "key growth engine for the country's economic development," a transformation mirroring that of the internet age. As the Wall Street Jour

To Help Workers Losing Their Jobs to AI, OpenAI Is Launching a Jobs Platform Run By AI

First it peddled the poison, and now it's selling the cure. OpenAI announced that it's launching a new AI-powered jobs platform next year that will use AI to match employers with potential candidates. Called the OpenAI Jobs Platform, the initiative will put it in direct competition with job juggernauts like LinkedIn, which has also been experimenting with integrating the tech. It marks a new direction for the company, perhaps as it tries to maintain some semblance of its altruistic image. As i

The Pixel 10 Pro’s free AI Pro plan is a trap, don’t get fooled

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-11 23:30:24

Joe Maring / Android Authority The Pixel 10-series is Google’s most aggressive bet on AI yet. Year on year, the company keeps tacking on more AI-first features. From the camera to the notes app and elsewhere, the pitch is clear. This isn’t just another smartphone. Instead, it’s a showcase for how Google’s AI strategy ties directly to its hardware.

The best phones with a removable battery and alternative solutions

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-12 02:00:25

As much as we enjoy modern phone designs, there is one trend many of us wish wasn’t going away. Sadly, phones with a removable battery are a dying breed, and our options are getting very, very limited in this niche market. Phones with removable batteries are very convenient in a few ways. For starters, it makes it easy to hot swap batteries on the go, so you can carry multiple and switch them if your phone dies mid-day. Also, batteries degrade over time, and today’s standard solution is to take

Andy Walker / Android Authority Despite employing a Samsung as my primary smartphone, I’ve really enjoyed using my Pixel as a sidekick. Granted, it’s a Pixel 8, so it lacks the latest and greatest features of the Pixel 10 series, but having access to Android 16 has been a joy. The software is swift, cheerful, and clean, but there’s a reason I opt for the Galaxy S24 FE as my main device. I still miss plenty of software features when using the Pixel over the Galaxy.

Stephen Schenck / Android Authority This year at IFA 2025 in Berlin, hundreds of brands are showing off their latest products, highlighting recent additions to their lineups and announcing new gear.

Apple’s new generative AI ‘answer engine’ might arrive sooner than we initially thought

Early last month, Bloomberg reported on Apple’s new in-house generative AI search product – with a new ‘Answers, Knowledge, and Information’ team. Despite this team’s recent formation, we might get to see the fruits of their labor much sooner than one might’ve anticipated.

Silksong reviews drop to mostly negative for Chinese players due to confusing translations

For most Hollow Knight: Silksong players, the combat is challenging and the boss fights are punishing. However, there's another layer of complexity for anyone playing the sequel in Simplified Chinese: the bizarre translations.

Way to Address Product Design Failure

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-07 21:59:15

We live in an age of shitty product design and no customer support. Stuff breaks because it's poorly made, and then you have no recourse but to throw it into the trash, because it's unrepairable. If you try to get someone on the line, it's endless sub-menus before you finally get a live person overseas, who struggles with the language and has not been empowered by their bosses to actually solve your problem.
