Apple has three standalone Mac desktops – the Mac mini, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro. Mac Pro isn’t exactly worth talking about, so we’ll focus on the former two. While these computers are typically priced quite far apart ($599 vs $1999), the Mac Studio is a bit older – and Amazon has an incredible deal on the one generation old M2 Max model. We’ll be comparing the two, and showing you which computer is the best bang for your buck at this price point. Right now, Amazon has the M2 Max Mac Studio on

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-01 05:45:20

As if the institution of political polling weren't already fraught enough, pollsters are now surveying AI instead of real people to cut costs and save time. As new research demonstrates, AI is clearly not up to the job — but that probably won't stop any firms who've bought in to continue doing so. In a white paper about the topic for the survey platform Verasight, data journalist G. Elliott Morris found, when comparing 1,500 "synthetic" survey respondents and 1,500 real people, that large lang

Intel officially announced an agreement with President Donald Trump’s administration on Friday afternoon, following Trump’s statement that the government would be taking a 10% stake in the struggling chipmaker. While Intel says the government is making an “$8.9 billion investment in Intel common stock,” the administration does not appear to be committing new funds.
