Renewed iPad Pros pair nicely with iPadOS 26, and they’re quite affordable right now

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-09-08 14:01:30

A short while ago, I was browsing Apple deals on Amazon (as one does) – and something stuck out to me. High-end iPad Pros, particularly 12.9-inch models, are surprisingly cheap. I saw M1 models with 1TB and cellular for nearly $600. Given the recent iPadOS 26 overhaul that makes the iPad much more Mac-like, I figured these deals would be worth a share. While renewed iPad deals are the focus here because of their affordability, new iPad deals are also mentioned at the end. Renewed M1 iPad Pro d

Psychiatric Researchers Warn of Grim Psychological Risks for AI Users

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-08 14:15:54

Without even looking at medical data, it's pretty clear that "artificial intelligence" — a vast umbrella term for various technologies over the years, but currently dominated by the data-hungry neural networks powering chatbots and image generators — can have life-altering effects on the human brain. We're not even three years out from the release of the first commercially-available LLM, and AI users have already been driven to paranoid breaks from reality, religious mania, and even suicide. A

Local LLMs versus offline Wikipedia

Two days ago, MIT Technology review published “How to run an LLM on your laptop”. It opens with an anecdote about using offline LLMs in an apocalypse scenario. “‘It’s like having a weird, condensed, faulty version of Wikipedia, so I can help reboot society with the help of my little USB stick,’ [Simon Willison] says.” This made me wonder: how do the sizes of local LLMs compare to the size of offline Wikipedia downloads?

The existing system reportedly relied on “digital escorts” to supervise the China-based engineers. But according to Pro Publica, those escorts — U.S. citizens with security clearances — sometimes lacked the technical expertise to properly monitor the engineers. I

Under the hood of a huge amount of artificial intelligence is an immense amount of human labor.
