Poisoning Well

Poisoning Well 31st March 2025 One of the many pressing issues with Large Language Models (LLMs) is they are trained on content that isn’t theirs to consume. Since most of what they consume is on the open web, it’s difficult for authors to withhold consent without also depriving legitimate agents (AKA humans or “meat bags”) of information. Some well-meaning but naive developers have implored authors to instate robots.txt rules, intended to block LLM-associated crawlers. User-agent: GPTBot D

Type checking is a symptom, not a solution

What if the programming industry’s decades-long obsession with type checking is solving the wrong problem entirely? What if our increasingly sophisticated type systems—from Haskell’s category theory to Rust’s borrow checker—are elaborate workarounds for fundamental architectural mistakes we’ve been making since the beginning? The software industry has convinced itself that type checking is not just useful, but essential. We’ve built entire programming languages around the premise that catching

‘Foundation’ Just Lowered the Boom

Season three of Foundation is nearly at its end, and the galaxy is in deep trouble. We’ve long known the fall of Empire would usher in a long period of darkness, something the Foundation was set up hundreds of years ago to try and mitigate. But while the end seems certain, exactly how it’ll come about has not yet been clear. The villainous Mule is certainly helping nudge things along… but might another doom-bringing element also emerge? “The Paths That Choose Us,” the ninth and penultimate epis

September's Fall Equinox Is Coming: What to Know and What It Looks Like

Labor Day has come and gone, and school is back in session. Though the leaves have yet to start turning, fall is making its way here. The official arrival of the season is the autumnal equinox, which occurs in the Northern Hemisphere in September. After a hot summer, the fall equinox marks a welcome shift in the seasons for many folks. But what exactly is an equinox? It's all about Earth and its relationship with the sun.

Dreame’s New Stair-Climbing and Arm-Equipped Robot Vacuums Take Aim at Eufy and Roborock

Stairs are one of the last big challenges to be overcome by robot vacuums. Cleaning performance is getting better with each new model, for both vacuuming and mopping, and robots are better able to navigate spaces and obstacles. But until now, none have been able to climb stairs. That’s set to change with Eufy’s Marswalkers and Dreame’s new Cyber X concept, which our sister site PCMag was able to see in action at IFA, the tech show in Berlin. “Eufy’s version resembles a space rover, while the Dr

We Use Our Smartphones Like Laptops, So Why Do We Need Both? Here's What CNET's Survey Says

It's not uncommon to have a smartphone, a laptop and a tablet. I use all three, sometimes for many of the same tasks, like text messages, streaming and social media. The same is true for a lot of people. CNET's recent survey examines how most US adults use laptops, tablets and smartphones. Laptops are commonly used for work and educational tasks like creating and viewing documents (52%), streaming (35%) and creative work (33%). Besides texting, calls and social media, we use our smartphones fo

SwitchBot's New AI Art Frame Lets You Give Prompts to Generate Art in Seconds

SwitchBot arrived at IFA (Innovation for All) 2025 with a lot to show off, including fluffy home Kata robots and the Acemate Tennis Robot, complete with training programs. But what really caught my smart home eyes was an application of generative AI I've never seen before. SwitchBot introduced an AI Art Frame, and it represents a completely new future for at-home wall art. The AI Art Frame's concept and design are easy to grasp and made me wonder why the idea wasn't already more widespread. It

Warner Bros. sues Midjourney to stop AI knockoffs of Batman, Scooby-Doo

Warner Bros. hit Midjourney with a lawsuit Thursday, crafting a complaint that strives to shoot down defenses that the AI company has already raised in a similar lawsuit filed by Disney and Universal Studios earlier this year. The big film studios have alleged that Midjourney profits off image generation models trained to produce outputs of popular characters. For Disney and Universal, intellectual property rights to pop icons like Darth Vader and the Simpsons were allegedly infringed. And now,

is a reporter focusing on film, TV, and pop culture. Before The Verge, he wrote about comic books, labor, race, and more at io9 and Gizmodo for almost five years.

He added that the order increased Broadcom's forecast for AI revenue next yea

Family Baffled By Waymo Robotaxis Constantly Hanging Out in Front of Their House

Waymo robotaxis are making their way to more American cities, but they're not always winning the hearts and minds of the people who live there. The autonomous cars have been spotted blundering the wrong way down a street and causing traffic jams, and residents have quickly grown fed up with their obnoxious back-up noise. They're also, apparently, haunting random locations like a conspicuous stalker. Just ask one Los Angeles couple, Lisa Delgin and Zach Tucker, who claim that ever since a Waymo

Samsung wasn’t even the second-most popular foldable maker in Q2 2025

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung only accounted for third place in foldable phone shipments in Q2 2025, according to Counterpoint Research. HUAWEI was in first place, while Motorola was the runner-up. This report doesn’t take Samsung’s latest foldables into account, as they launched in Q3. Foldable phones only account for a small number of smartphones shipping globally, but a new market share report has revealed some bad news for Samsung for Q2 2025. Counterpoint Research has p
