wired.com Louryn Strampe 2025-12-21 02:32:00

Wellness marketing is a little out of control, and electrolytes are as buzzy as it gets. Touted by influencers and podcasters as a miracle supplement that helps your body perform at its peak, electrolyte beverages are as numerous as they are readily available. But the dietitians and nutritionists I spoke with are less willing to embrace these beverages as a cure-all for what ails you.

What to expect at Apple's iPhone 17 event

We're likely only around a month away (give or take) from Apple's next iPhone launch event. This year's shindig could see the thinnest iPhone to date joining the iPhone 17 lineup. Also on tap could be new Apple Watch models — including the first Ultra model in two years — and (maybe) the long-awaited AirPods Pro 3. Apple's iPhone family will likely welcome a new member this year. The iPhone Air is expected to be roughly 5.55 mm thick. The thinnest model so far has been 2014's iPhone 6, at 6.9 m

Taking photos can be a fun way to save and share memories, but sometimes getting a good picture can be difficult. For example, if you're taking a selfie, you might find it hard to hold your phone at the right angle to get everyone in the shot while keeping your hand out of frame and still being able to press the capture button.

Why You Can’t Trust a Chatbot to Talk About Itself

wired.com Benj Edwards 2025-12-21 10:00:00

When something goes wrong with an AI assistant, our instinct is to ask it directly: “What happened?” or “Why did you do that?” It's a natural impulse—after all, if a human makes a mistake, we ask them to explain. But with AI models, this approach rarely works, and the urge to ask reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of what these systems are and how they operate. A recent incident with Replit's AI coding assistant perfectly illustrates this problem. When the AI tool deleted a production datab

While they have decoded 3 of the 4 panels of ciphertext in the S-shaped copper artwork, the final panel, known as K4, still defies solution.

Hooray! ChatGPT Plus brings back legacy models alongside an updated GPT-5 experience

GPT-5 has faced a wave of criticism recently, both from everyday users and reviewers like our very own Calvin Wankhede here at Android Authority. Much of this feedback centered on the new model feeling more curt and having less personality. OpenAI responded quickly, addressing performance, personality, and usage limit issues — improving the overall experience significantly.
