What is AGI? Nobody agrees, and it’s tearing Microsoft and OpenAI apart.

When is an AI system intelligent enough to be called artificial general intelligence (AGI)? According to one definition reportedly agreed upon by Microsoft and OpenAI, the answer lies in economics: When AI generates $100 billion in profits. This arbitrary profit-based benchmark for AGI perfectly captures the definitional chaos plaguing the AI industry. In fact, it may be impossible to create a universal definition of AGI, but few people with money on the line will admit it. Over this past year

How The New York Times is (still) getting gamed by the right

theverge.com Elizabeth Lopatto 2026-02-17 22:30:00

Lately, it has been difficult to ignore a tendency at The New York Times to make astonishingly bad news judgments. The paper’s obsession with a view from nowhere is long-standing, but as Republicans increasingly circulate insane conspiracy theories and racist nonsense, the cult of centrism has taken a self-destructive turn. The most recent — and perhaps most egregious — way this has surfaced is a story about New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s application to Columbia University in 2009,

The secret to Samsung’s ultra-cheap success is its commitment to software updates. Like the rest of the Galaxy A series, the Galaxy A16 is set up for a full six years of support, carrying it right into the start of the 2030s. That works out to a per-update cost of around $30, better than the Galaxy A26’s per-update cost of $50 or the Galaxy S24 FE’s price of around $90 for each major patch.
