The change will remove a f

ChatGPT speak is creeping into our everyday language - here's why it matters

ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways ChatGPT is influencing human speech patterns, research suggests. An uptick in specific words, contexts supports the claims. After shaping word choices, AI could shape word definitions. Delve, intricate, surpass.

Short Stories From the ‘Chainsaw Man’ Creator Are Becoming a Prime Video Anime

Just when you thought anticipation for the theatrical debut of MAPPA’s Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc and a film compilation of its first season was at its maximum, the Tatsuki Fujimoto train continues to show no signs of slowing down. Soon, more of the acclaimed manga creator’s early short stories will join the likes of his emotional gut-punch of a film, Look Back, in a new anime anthology series coming to Prime Video this November. Tatsuki Fujimoto 17-26, produced by Flagship Line, will a

Police Desperately Seek Info on Burning Man Homicide Suspect

Nothing puts your problems into perspective like death. Sure, the orgy dome being rendered unusable by wind was a bummer, but it doesn’t compare to the unsolved homicide that appears to have happened on the grounds of Burning Man over the weekend. Making matters worse, the situation remains unsolved, and police are struggling to connect with potential witnesses as they head back home from the desert getaway. Thus far, the details about the situation are pretty sparse. According to USA Today, th

The Avengers face an undead Thanos in Marvel Zombies trailer

Marvel Studios has (mercifully) slowed the pace of new releases of late, but this month we're getting the miniseries Marvel Zombies—and the studio just dropped the official trailer. It's adapted from the Marvel Comics series and a spinoff of the 2021 What If...? episode featuring several Avengers in zombified form. It's part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Phase Six. (Spoilers for the 2021 What If...? episode below.) In the What If...? episode—which retconned the events of Ant-Man and the W

Slate Auto’s sub-$30,000 EV pickup is due next year—here’s the factory

Slate Auto provided flights from San Francisco to Fort Wayne, Indiana, and accommodation so Ars could visit the Slate factory. Ars does not accept paid editorial content. WARSAW, INDIANA—The Blank Slate pickup scratches a particular itch for some, fulfilling the desire for an EV powertrain without all the bells and whistles associated with a modern vehicle. Gone is the infotainment screen, the lane-keeping assistance, and, for those concerned about surveillance, a modem. Instead, it's an unpain

Pixel 10 benchmarks show how little ground Google’s Tensor G5 has gained

Now that we finally know what Google’s new Tensor G5 processor is made of, it’s about time we compare it against the best in the business. For today’s benchmarking session, I’ve grabbed rival handsets to compare against the more budget-friendly $799 Pixel 10 and the top-of-the-line, $1,199 Pixel 10 Pro XL. I don’t think anyone has particularly high hopes that the Pixel 10 series is going to contend for the performance crown. Google is far more focused on AI and features than traditional perform

Intel Patents 'Software Defined Supercore'

Intel has patented a technology it calls 'Software Defined Supercore' (SDC) that enables software to fuse the capabilities of multiple cores to assemble a virtual ultra-wide 'supercore' capable of improving single-thread performance, provided that it has enough parallel work. If the technology works as it is designed to, then Intel's future CPUs could offer faster single-thread performance in select applications that can use SDC. For now, this is just a patent which may or may not become a reali

Murder at Burning Man turns Silicon Valley’s desert playground into a crime scene

A homicide investigation has rocked the final days of Burning Man after a man was found dead “lying in a pool of blood” Saturday night at the Nevada desert festival, according to the Pershing County Sheriff’s Office. According to the New York Times, the grim discovery occurred around 9:14 p.m. just as the festival’s iconic wooden “Man” effigy began its traditional burn. The victim, described as a white adult male whose identity remains unknown, was found by a festival participant who flagged do

I tried gaming on the Pixel 10’s new GPU and… it’s fine

While there’s plenty to unpack with the Pixel 10 series and its new Tensor G5 processor, one of the biggest hardware changes this year is the adoption of a brand new GPU architecture. Google has switched from its long-running use of ARM’s Mali to Imagination Technologies’ PowerVR series. Specifically, the PowerVR DXT-48-1536, but without the ray-tracing capabilities that the series can support. Early scepticism suggested that the move might not be much of an upgrade and potentially even a down

‘Cyberpunk: Edgerunners’ and ‘Devilman Crybaby’ are Thankfully Getting Blu-Ray Releases

To everyone’s benefit, Netflix has been gradually putting out physical versions for some of its fan-favorite shows. For the anime fans, you’ll be more than happy to hear are Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and Devilman Crybaby are the next two series to leave Netflix jail by the end of 2025. Earlier in the week, Crunchyroll opened up pre-orders for the box sets for both shows. Devilman’s Blu-Ray puts the entire 10-episode series on two discs. Developed by Science Saru, the anime is based on Go Nagai’s D

Pig lung transplanted into a human

A genetically modified pig lung transplanted into a brain-dead human patient functioned for nine days in a new achievement that reveals both the promise and significant challenges of xenotransplantation. Over the course of the experiment, the patient showed increasing signs of organ rejection before scientists at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University in China terminated the experiment, allowing the recipient to pass away. It's the first time a pig lung has been transpla

‘Injustice 3’ is Coming—What Will DC Do With It?

Nearly 10 years ago, NetherRealm released Injustice 2, the second game in its DC superhero fighting series. (And it’s the third superhero fighting game, beginning with 2008’s Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.) After continuing and rebooting the story of Mortal Kombat, it seems NetherRealm is going back to superheroic punch-ups, as Green Lantern and Aquaman voice actor Phil LaMaar reportedly told a fan at a recent convention a third game is happening. This will come as little surprise to anyone pay

Google’s new Passwords app just made it easier for me to ditch Chrome

Megan Ellis / Android Authority I’ve been on a mission to de-Google my life as much as possible in an attempt to control how much information a single company has about me. While there are some essential Google services I will never part with, switching my browser from Chrome has been a priority. I slowly started doing this by trying out some of the best Chrome alternatives, finally settling on Brave. But I kept encountering hurdles as I tried to migrate everything to a new browser. Now that G

‘Magic’ Weaves New Mechanics and Cards for Spider-Man Set

Less than a month out from Magic: The Gathering’s Spider-Man set, Wizards of the Coast has given it a full unveiling with reveals of more cards and gameplay mechanics for its crossover with Marvel’s webhead and friends. Wizards previously revealed a selection of cards at San Diego Comic-Con back in July. Like those, this new selection sports some amazing art from the company’s internal artists and creatives who’ve previously drawn Spider-Man over the character’s decades-long history, which is o

Labor Day Just Made My Favorite All-in-One Kitchen Appliance a Steal at 25% Off

I'd estimate that I cook at home about 90% of the time. That means I've run through a ton of kitchen appliances, ranging from revolutionary to downright useless.

M4 MacBook Pro: One of the first worthy upgrades for Apple Silicon Mac users

Last October, Apple announced the M4 MacBook Pro. On the surface, it looks like yet another MacBook Pro spec bump. However, there are a number of key features that make it worth upgrading to, even if you already have an older 14″ MacBook Pro. Why M4? There’s recently been a pretty big flip in MacBook Pro pricing, which gradually took place over the past year or so: First, Apple introduced a new entry-level MacBook Pro at $1599 in 2023 with baseline M3 Then, it upped the base memory to 16GB a

Why Romania excels in international Olympiads

Olympiads are international student intellectual competitions in which students from across the world go toe-to-toe answering questions in mathematics, physics, informatics, chemistry, and more. The best performers tend to be from countries like China, the United States, India, and Japan. But, somehow, the southeastern European country of Romania also frequently tops the list. Since 2020, Romania’s performance in the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) has been nothing short of amazing. I

Starlink Puts the Last Nail in Burning Man’s Coffin

Whatever embers may still be left burning from the original spirit of Burning Man are holding on for dear life as Silicon Valley tries to put them out for good. The latest dagger delivered to the Bohemia turned billionaire LARPing event comes from above, as Elon Musk’s Starlink is now providing internet connection to those in attendance, according to the Wall Street Journal. A Burning Man regular named Kevin LeVezu, a photographer, runs a camp at the temporary city called iForgot. This year, he

‘The Batman Part II’ Writer Claims It Has the Juice to Top Its Predecessor

With James Gunn’s Superman movie out into the world, DC fans are abuzz over Matt Reeves’ long-awaited The Batman Part II. Although the film has suffered numerous delays that even worried actor Robert Pattinson, its script is complete, and filming is slated to begin next spring. To add to the already fever-pitch of anticipation for the sequel to The Batman, its writer is confident that the second installment will best what came before it. In a social media interaction with a fan asking if The Ba
