Anthros Chair V2 Review: Surprisingly Great

wired.com Julian Chokkattu 2025-09-02 11:03:00

It's rare for me to keep sitting on a chair I'm reviewing well after I've given it enough testing time. Usually, I want to hop back on my Herman Miller Embody, which feels just right for my body. But the Anthros V2 has been a pleasant surprise. It's been on my radar for several months, thanks to endless Instagram marketing reels, but honestly, those just made me even more skeptical. Anthros is a newcomer to the scene, only launching the first version of the chair in 2023. It makes grand claims

Reddit is being spammed by AI bots, and it’s all Reddit’s fault

Reddit CEO Steve Huffman has said that the platform is being spammed by AI bots, and is now in “an arms race” to detect and block these fake posts. The irony here is that the very reason Reddit is being targeted by bots is because the company sells access to user posts for AI training … Reddit lets AI bots harvest user posts Things kicked off early last year when Reddit signed a $60M deal to allow user posts to be harvested for AI training.

Researchers Pit Stone Age Seafaring Skills Against One of Earth’s Fiercest Currents

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-09-03 23:00:27

Archaeologists estimate that humans first arrived on the Ryukyu Islands off the southwestern coast of Japan sometime between 35,000 and 27,500 years ago. How they did so, however, remains a mystery, especially since they would have had to cross one of the planet’s strongest ocean currents. To address this enduring question, scientists decided to attempt the Paleolithic voyage themselves.

How to Beat Jet Lag

We’ve all been there after a long trip—staring blankly at emails, counting the hours until bed.
