AI’s giants want to take over the classroom

The companies could face an uphill battle. Right now, most of the public perceives AI’s use in the classroom as nothing short of ruinous—a surefire way to dampen critical thinking and hasten the decline of our collective attention span (a viral story from New York magazine, for example, described how easy it now is to coast through college thanks to constant access to ChatGPT). Amid that onslaught, AI companies insist that AI promises more individualized learning, faster and more creative lesso

We saw the heart of Pluto 10 years ago—it’ll be a long wait to see the rest

NASA's New Horizons spacecraft got a fleeting glimpse of Pluto 10 years ago, revealing a distant world with a picturesque landscape that, paradoxically, appears to be refreshing itself in the cold depths of our Solar System. The mission answered numerous questions about Pluto that have lingered since its discovery by astronomer Clyde Tombaugh in 1930. As is often the case with planetary exploration, the results from New Horizons' flyby of Pluto on July 14, 2015, posed countless more questions.

These Strange Jobs Will Survive AI, Expert Says

Many experts hold that generative AI will have sweeping effects on the job market. But how exactly it will transform the workforce remains a subject of much debate. According to Adam Dorr, the director of research at tech forecast nonprofit RethinkX, we're risking putting all of humanity out of a job — and only some oddly specific occupations will survive a major transformation. "Technology has a new target in its crosshairs — and that's us," Dorr told The Guardian. "That’s our labor." Accord

Chrome OS is “combining” with Android, but what does that mean?

Android and Chrome OS have been developed in parallel for years, but Google is planning to streamline its operating systems. In a recent interview, Android Ecosystem President Sameer Samat stated bluntly that Android and Chrome OS are merging. This shift, a long time in the making, could give Google more room to maneuver as it plans for new mobile computing experiences. In the interview, TechRadar's Lance Ulanoff had other things on his mind, but Samat peppered him with questions about how he u

iPhone 17e is reportedly launching next year, here’s what we know so far

Apple’s been toying around with the idea of a cheaper iPhone in the lineup for quite some time, though it’s never been a consistent thing. Obviously, there was the iPhone 5c back in 2013 as a cheaper offering compared to the iPhone 5s. It didn’t sell too well, but it was certainly its first venture into this market. Afterwards, there was the iPhone SE lineup, which had an average of 3 years between each refresh. Now, it’s looking like the ‘cheaper’ iPhone will become a regular part of the iPhon

While macOS 26 is set to bring a whole new look and feel, three new apps, and a slew of new features, it does also remove a very old feature still loved by some: Launchpad.

Florida Cat Named Pepper Brings Home Never-Before-Seen Virus—for the Second Time

Report: Apple’s all-new smart home hub is no longer likely to launch this year

The all-new smart home hub was supposed to be Apple’s star of the show this year. There was just one problem: Siri. After a multitude of Siri hiccups and delays, it begun to look more and more unlikely that the product would launch in 2025. Now, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman is reporting that a 2026 launch is almost a guarantee. Originally, it seemed all but confirmed that we’d see the Apple smart home hub around March or so.

Open Channel: What’d You Think of ‘Superman’?

It’s been over a decade since the last proper Superman movie hit theaters, and this weekend finally broke that long streak with Superman (formerly subtitled Legacy). This has been one of the most talked-about superhero movies in recent memory, and one that comes with some baggage.
