Mark Zuckerberg has a new mission: build artificial general intelligence (AGI), a form of AI that can reason and learn like a human.To do that, he’s assembled an elite team of researchers, engineers, and AI veterans from OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, Apple, and more. This new unit, called Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL), is tasked with building the most powerful artificial intelligence the world has ever seen. The tech world is calling it a “dream team.” But it’s hard not to notice what’s missin
Capcom just shared a lengthy trailer for the upcoming Resident Evil Survival Unit . This is a mobile game, but not a remake of a pre-existing title . The original game includes a heavy emphasis on strategy and stars franchise heavy-hitters like Leon S. Kennedy, Claire Redfield and Jill Valentine. If you're wondering how these protagonists can exist together in the same game, it's all due to the magic of the multiverse. It's set in a parallel universe "that builds upon the Resident Evil world wh
The Boox Palma 2 looks like a smartphone, and it even runs Android 13. But it’s meant to be used primarily as a pocket-friendly e-reader with an ePaper screen, one that’s much easier to hold in one hand than a Kindle or Kobo. Some of us at The Verge have a Palma, and you can see what all the fuss is about, too, for an all-time low of $269.99 ($30 off) at Amazon and Boox during Prime Day. Be mindful that Prime Day ends today, so time is running out to grab this deal. Verge editor-at-large David
The state House has passed a pair of bills aimed at tamping down on dubious subscription services — just as a federal court moved to throw out similar rules proposed by federal regulators. Earlier this month, the House approved a bill cracking down on so-called “negative option” agreements in which consumers are automatically enrolled in a service unless they opt out. This week, the chamber also cleared a second bill requiring that subscriptions or memberships made online must also be able to b
is a senior reporter who’s been covering and reviewing the latest gadgets and tech since 2006, but has loved all things electronic since he was a kid. iFixit has shared a full teardown video of the Switch 2 Pro controller and is not impressed by how difficult it is to access the $85 accessory’s internal components, including its rechargeable battery that will inevitably lose its ability to hold a charge over time. The online repair site goes so far as to call the Pro 2 a “piss-poor excuse for
AI users are spiraling into severe mental health crises after extensive use of OpenAI's ChatGPT and other emotive, anthropomorphic chatbots — and health experts are taking notice. In a recent CBC segment about the phenomenon, primary care physician and CBC contributor Dr. Peter Lin explained that while "ChatGPT psychosis" — as the experience has come to be colloquially known — isn't an official medical diagnosis just yet, he thinks it's on its way. "I think, eventually, it will get there," sai
If you’re interested in Apple’s smart home products, one of the most highly anticipated debuts is a brand new ‘HomePad,’ and this cross between an iPad and HomePod just got a launch timing update via Bloomberg. HomePad now expected in spring 2026 due to Siri delays Mark Gurman writes at Bloomberg: Apple continues to work on a smart home hub code-named J490. Originally planned for March of this year, the device was delayed indefinitely due to its reliance on new Siri voice assistant features t
A security researcher from Koi Security stumbled upon a critical zero-day buried deep in the infrastructure powering today’s AI coding tools. Had it been exploited, a non-sophisticated attacker could’ve hijacked over 10 million machines with a single stroke. AI coding assistants like Cursor and Windsurf have exploded in popularity, promising supercharged productivity for developers around the world. Behind their sleek interfaces lies a shared foundation: community-built VS Code forks and an ope

A new M4 Vision Pro is reportedly launching later this year, and even though not a lot sounds like it’s changing, I’m cautiously hopeful that the most needed fix might be on the way. New Vision Pro will have M4 chip and all-new strap When Vision Pro first launched in February 2024, I was initially a holdout. The device fascinated me, but I couldn’t justify the price. Eventually I gave in, buying a Vision Pro last December. But ever since then, the weight and existing strap options have been a
Imagine fighting a fire without water, foam, or chemicals—just the power of sound. Sounds like something out of a sci-fi flick, right? But back in 2015, two engineering students at George Mason University in Virginia made it a reality. Viet Tran and Seth Robertson, both seniors at the time, built a device that uses low-frequency sound waves to extinguish flames. Their invention, dubbed the “Wave Extinguisher,” caught the world’s attention and sparked a wave of research into acoustic fire supp
Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority For years, I’ve considered Visible the best value in the US wireless market, thanks to its low pricing and generous data allotments. Even better, its Plus and Plus Pro plans come fairly close to matching Verizon’s postpaid speeds. Of course, one of its biggest advantages can also be a downside: it’s owned by Verizon. While this is comforting for former Verizon subscribers turned off by constant price increases, not everyone wants to use a brand directly owned
Russia is a waning space power, but President Vladimir Putin has made sure he still has a saber to rattle in orbit. This has become more evident in recent weeks, when we saw a pair of rocket launches carrying top-secret military payloads, the release of a mysterious object from a Russian mothership in orbit, and a sequence of complex formation-flying maneuvers with a trio of satellites nearly 400 miles up. In isolation, each of these things would catch the attention of Western analysts. Taken
Paul Jones / Android Authority TL;DR Google has launched a new Android Canary release channel for developers to test experimental features.

Grok 4. Released last night, Grok 4 is now available via both API and a paid subscription for end-users. Key characteristics: image and text input, text output. 256,000 context length (twice that of Grok 3).

In Brief After former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger capped off a 40+ year career at the semiconductor giant in December, many wondered where would Gelsinger go next. On Thursday, the former Intel CEO revealed one piece of his next chapter: trying to ensure AI models support a flourishing humanity. In partnership with a “faith tech” company he first invested in roughly 10 years ago called Gloo, Gelsinger launched a new benchmark — Flourishing AI, or FAI — to test how well AI models align with certain

A UK-based mission is aiming to settle, once and for all, whether life exists on Venus. The mission plans to send a probe to the planet in search of microbial life, not on the surface, of course, but in the Venusian clouds. Over the past half-decade, scientists have detected the presence of phosphine and ammonia—two potential signs of biological activity—in Venus’s clouds. On Earth, both gases are produced only by biological activity and industrial processes, and scientists are unsure of their
I first encountered Jurassic Park one fateful day during middle school when my teacher rolled in a cart topped with a CRT television, popped in a VHS tape of Jurassic Park and pressed play. I was instantly hooked and I've since watched the film countless times, including a 2013 trip to see the movie in 3D on the big screen at my AMC theater. Jurassic World: Rebirth hit cinemas on July 2 and I've been rewatching the entire series to get in the mood. With run times ranging from 1 hour and 32 minu

diffsitter Disclaimer diffsitter is very much a work in progress and nowhere close to production ready (yet). Contributions are always welcome! Summary diffsitter creates semantically meaningful diffs that ignore formatting differences like spacing. It does so by computing a diff on the AST (abstract syntax tree) of a file rather than computing the diff on the text contents of the file. diffsitter uses the parsers from the tree-sitter project to parse source code. As such, the languages sup
