Google gets away almost scot-free in US search antitrust case

What was Judge Amit Mehta thinking? When he ruled a year ago that Google violated the Sherman Antitrust Act by stifling search competition, we thought Google was truly in hot water. Boy, were we wrong! After Mehta’s initial ruling, the Department of Justice (DoJ) demanded that Google divest itself of the Chrome web browser and/or the Android operating system, and also be blocked from exclusive distribution contracts that had placed Google Search as the default on almost all devices and web brow

The best part of going to a film festival is finding something new. Sure, it’s great to find out that movies you’re excited about are in fact good — I’ve had luck so far with Exit 8, No Other Choice, and Wake Up Dead Man — but it’s so much more exciting to be surprised by something when you had no expectations going in.

Why basic science deserves our boldest investment

Inspired by the 1945 report “Science: The Endless Frontier,” authored by Vannevar Bush at the request of President Truman, the US government began a long-standing tradition of investing in basic research. These investments have paid steady dividends across many scientific domains—from nuclear energy to lasers, and from medical technologies to artificial intelligence.

Are bad incentives to blame for AI hallucinations?

techcrunch.com Anthony Ha 2025-10-06 20:23:23

A new research paper from OpenAI asks why large language models like GPT-5 and chatbots like ChatGPT still hallucinate, and whether anything can be done to reduce those hallucinations. In a blog post summarizing the paper, OpenAI defines hallucinations as “plausible but false statements generated by language models,” and it acknowledges that despite improvements, hallucinations “remain a fundamental challenge for all large language models” — one that will never be completely eliminated.

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.

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. Despite all of the Apple Intelligence Siri woes, Apple still seems determined to make an impact in the generative AI space.

As you’ve probably noticed, Google has gotten … weird lately. Weirder? It can be hard to find the search results you’re looking for. Between AI summaries and algorithm changes resulting in unexpected sources, it can be tricky to navigate the most popular search engine in the world. (And publishers are feeling the strain, too.) Earlier this year, Google updated its algorithm. This is nothing new—Google updates its algorithms hundreds of times per year, with anywhere from two to four major “core

Andy Walker / Android Authority It seems like everyone celebrated the announcement of Preferred Sources for Google Search. Don’t get me wrong; it’s a good idea.
