Standalone AI Devices Are Back, Baby. The Note-Taking Plaud Note 3 Proves It

There was a moment around 18 months ago when it felt like AI had unlocked an entirely new consumer technology category. The wearable Humane Pin and handheld Rabbit R1 were small, standalone devices that promised to be your AI personal assistants and threatened to be smartphone killers. But almost as soon as the hype around them peaked, it died down again. The devices that hit the market during that initial wave of excitement overpromised and underdelivered, and today we remain just as reliant o

Nvidia beats on top and bottom lines as company expects breakneck AI spend to continue

Nvidia reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue on Wednesday, and said sales growth this quarter will remain above 50%, signaling to Wall Street that demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure shows no sign of fading. The stock, which is up 35% this year after almost tripling in 2024, slipped in extended trading as data center revenue came up short of estimates for the second straight period. Shares pared the losses Thursday. Here's how the company did, compared with estimates

Here’s what the Daily Hub card will look like on your Discover feed (APK teardown)

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR The Pixel 10 currently lacks native access to Google’s new Daily Hub feature, requiring sideloading and a manually-created shortcut. We’ve managed to activate the Daily Hub card in the Google Discover feed to give you an early look. We’ve also spotted a yet-unreleased Gold Price card in Discover.

Don't Want Gemini to Learn About You? How to Turn That New Feature Off

The more you chat with Google's Gemini, the better it will get to know you thanks to a new learning feature in the generative AI chatbot. Gemini has already been able to recall past conversations if you ask it to, but this new functionality will allow it to learn your preferences and interact with you in more personalized ways, Google said. But if you don't want an AI to learn about you, you can turn it off. AI chatbots have seen their memories grow longer this year. Other tools, like OpenAI'

How a 16-year-old company is easing small businesses into AI

Amid all the “is this a bubble?” talk about artificial intelligence, the supply chain and logistics industries have become breeding grounds for seemingly genuine uses of the technology. Flexport, Uber Freight, and dozens of startups are developing different applications and winning blue-chip customers. But while AI helps Fortune 500s pad their bottom line (and justify the next layoff to Wall Street), the right use of the tech is proving useful to smaller businesses. Netstock, an inventory mana

3 problems with Google’s AI energy use data

“We’re not comfortable revealing that for various reasons,” Dean told me on our call. The total number is an abstract measure that changes over time, he says, adding that the company wants users to be thinking about the energy usage per prompt. But there are people out there all over the world interacting with this technology, not just me—and what we all add up to seems quite relevant. OpenAI does publicly share its total, sharing recently that it sees 2.5 billion queries to ChatGPT every day.

From pilot to scale: Making agentic AI work in health care

Overcoming LLM limitations LLMs excel at understanding nuanced context, performing instinctive reasoning, and generating human-like interactions, making them ideal for agentic tools to then interpret intricate data and communicate effectively. Yet in a domain like health care where compliance, accuracy, and adherence to regulatory standards are non-negotiable—and where a wealth of structured resources like taxonomies, rules, and clinical guidelines define the landscape—symbolic AI is indispensa

Stats suggest Apple’s slow rollout of AI agent capabilities may be wise

One of the many delayed Apple Intelligence features is known as App Intents, and we’re starting to see evidence that taking an extremely cautious approach to the rollout may be no bad thing. Before the comments catch fire, I should stress that I’m most assuredly not giving Apple a free pass on the slow rollout of new Siri capabilities in general. There are a great many capabilities which should very definitely have been launched years ago. Indeed, I’ve argued that the delay is now so embarrassi

Did Nvidia Just Pop an AI Bubble? Here’s What the Market Says

Lukewarm second quarter results from AI powerhouse Nvidia (NVDA) Wednesday have Wall Street bros and the analysts that love them catching all kinds of feelings. Long a bellwether for how the market views AI in general, the largest company in the world carries enough weight in its $1 trillion valuation to move entire indexes, let alone the tech sector. That was especially the case over the last two weeks, when handwringing over what Nvidia would say in its second quarter results on Aug. 27 reac

The 5 Healthiest Air Fryer Foods, Hand-Picked by Registered Dietitians

Like refrigerators, ovens or microwaves, air fryers have become a staple in our kitchens. In the form of compact, space-saving devices, these fryers are known for crisping food with less oil, making them a healthier alternative to other cooking methods. "Air fryer cooking delivers the crispy texture we know and love from fried foods, but with far less oil and fat than traditional deep frying," explains Melissa Jaeger, head of nutrition at nutrition tracking app MyFitnessPal.

'Machines Can't Think for You.' How Learning Is Changing in the Age of AI

Entering her first year of teaching as a graduate assistant at Bowling Green State University, Sydney Koeplin had more on her mind than how to relate to her students. She was worried about how to deal with generative AI. At first, Koeplin took a "hard line" against allowing students to use AI beyond basic grammar and spelling checks. (The school's curriculum dictated that it could be used conditionally, but those conditions were left to the professor to define.) After several students in her fi

The personhood trap: How AI fakes human personality

Recently, a woman slowed down a line at the post office, waving her phone at the clerk. ChatGPT told her there's a "price match promise" on the USPS website. No such promise exists. But she trusted what the AI "knows" more than the postal worker—as if she'd consulted an oracle rather than a statistical text generator accommodating her wishes. This scene reveals a fundamental misunderstanding about AI chatbots. There is nothing inherently special, authoritative, or accurate about AI-generated ou
