Update, Sep 4: The feature is now live. Find the new details below. While Threads already allows up to 500 characters per post (which is more than enough for casual users used to the microblogging format), it is now testing support for long-form posts through “text attachments”. Here’s how it works.

Apple's AI search engine could be driven by Google and help revive Siri, report says

zdnet.com Sabrina Ortiz 2025-11-25 17:51:54

Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways Apple plans to launch an AI search engine, reportedly. The AI search experience would power the Siri voice assistant. The expected launch is in the spring as part of the Siri overhaul. Though Apple offers useful AI features through its Apple Intelligence suite, discussion of the company's AI efforts usually returns to one main sticking point: the delay of a revamped Siri. That launch has been highly anticipated, as it is supposed to push Siri's cap

Over the past decade, some of the most remarkable AI breakthroughs—AlphaGo, AlphaStar, AlphaFold1, VPT, OpenAI Five, ChatGPT—have all shared a common thread: they start with large-scale data gathering (self-supervised or imitation learning, or SSL) and then use reinforcement learning to refine their performance toward a specific goal. This marriage of general knowledge acquisition and focused, reward-driven specialization has emerged as a the paradigm by which we can reliably train AI systems to

Non-Obviously Great Startups

The dominant metaphor for a successful startup these days is the rocketship. The not so humble brags are all over x and the press, founders and VCs saying - “0-100m in ARR faster than any company in history” and “idea to $1m in revenue in a month.” I get why these are exciting. The stories are simple, the progress is amazing, the pull of the market is irresistible. Sometimes these will be the biggest and most interesting companies of the future.

Who Have Marvel’s Avengers Become?

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-11-25 17:00:27

Every mainstream comic book character is defined by their pre- and post-adaptation life. After they’re brought to life in film or TV, the change becomes notable, and nowhere is it more apparent than with the Avengers. They’ve always been a key superhero team, but they were elevated to a higher position thanks to the MCU and Marvel not owning fellow high-profile teams, the X-Men and Fantastic Four, and actively working to downplay them throughout comics and other media.

Who Owns ‘Telepathy’?

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-11-25 17:10:12

Elon Musk’s neural implant startup Neuralink has been trying to trademark two product names: Telepathy and Telekinesis. Musk has previously claimed that his company will be able to give people “superpowers,” so the desire to take ownership over these special abilities makes sense. Unfortunately for Neuralink, patent applications for Telepathy and Telekinesis have already been filed by a different business.

When The Conjuring was released in 2013, it felt like a nostalgic nod to eerie 1970s horror movies like The Changeling or The Manitou. From its simple opening title card -- yellow text on a black background -- to its relatively little gore and slow build of suspense, The Conjuring was a breath of fresh air. It arrived at a time when the horror genre was rampant with gruesome movies like Saw (which was also directed by Wan) and Hostel. The Conjuring kick-started not just a film franchise, but a
