It’s a well-worn trope in science fiction. We see it in Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. It’s the premise of the Terminator series, in which Skynet triggers a nuclear holocaust to stop scientists from shutting it down. Those sci-fi roots go deep. AI doomerism, the idea that this technology—specifically its hypothetical upgrades, artificial general intelligence and super-intelligence—will crash civilizations, even kill us all, is now riding another wave.

Samsung’s latest ‘no shirt’ ad trolls iPhones for lacking intelligence and a fold

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-15 00:01:17

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung has released an ad poking fun at iPhones for lacking AI features and the ability to fold. It’s no secret that Apple Intelligence has struggled to keep pace with Galaxy AI or Google’s Gemini. Samsung leans right into that weakness in the ad spot titled “A Real Upgrade.” Samsung and Google have been tag-teaming lately, poking fun at iPhones for being less “smart” than Galaxy phones and Pixels.

The Pixel 10 Pro is the wrong Pixel to buy this year

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-15 08:30:32

The dust has settled from the latest Made by Google event, and the Pixel 10 family is as good as ever. It builds on the hardware upgrades that Google introduced on the Pixel 9 series and packs more new AI-powered features than I could have dreamt when I first put my SIM in a Pixel device. And I, for one, cannot wait to move my SIM into yet another brand-new phone by Google — but not the one you might expect. There are reasons to go Pro… but not quite as many C.

Some Pixels are bricked and Google apparently won’t help revive them

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A Redditor has claimed that many owners of older Pixel phones are suffering from bricked devices. The problem purportedly occurs after switching slots, flashing certain ROMs, downgrading the OS, or installing the June 2025 update. Google is apparently refusing to provide recovery bootloader images to fix the issue. Tinkering with Android phones has become an increasingly complex endeavor, as phone brands and Google step up software protections. Unfortuna

Lanh Nguyen / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung’s long-awaited Project Moohan XR headset is reportedly launching on September 29 at the next Galaxy Unpacked event.

Its rumored price is between $1,800 and $2,000, making it cheaper than the Apple Vision Pro. Samsung teamed up with Google for its Project Moohan headset on the brand-new Android XR platform.

The Jonas Brothers music video isn’t the camera flex Google hoped for

I don’t mind the Jonas Brothers. I grew up when they starred in movies like Camp Rock and watched them make a few appearances at Penn State over the four years I was there. Honestly, their music is decent — even if I don’t make the biggest effort to seek it out. So, I was happy to go into the debut of their “I Can’t Lose” music video with an open mind, mainly since it was shot on the Pixel 10 Pro that I’m so eager to review. But now that I’ve replayed it a few times, I’m not sure the partnershi

Paying attention to feature distribution alignment (pun intended)

Intro Yes, I’m making a joke of the tendency to put the words “attention” and “alignment” in any ML paper 😎. Now let’s see how this provocative title is related to our adventures in the land of polynomial features. The Legendre polynomial basis serverd us well in recent posts about polynomial features. One interesting thing we saw in the series is that its orthogonality is, in some sense informativeness. This is because it orthogonal bases produce features, and hence each basis function, in so
