wired.com Kate Knibbs 2026-01-09 22:11:07

President Trump announced that the United States’ stance on intellectual property and AI would be a “commonsense application” that does not force AI companies to pay for each piece of copyrighted material used in training frontier models. “You can't be expected to have a successful AI program when every single article, book, or anything else that you've read or studied, you're supposed to pay for,” Trump said. “We appreciate that, but just can't do it— because it's not doable.” The president al

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice—the decades-awaited sequel to Tim Burton’s spooky-season classic—was a box-office hit, meaning that even if it didn’t make quite the same cultural impact as its inspiration, talk of a threequel is already in the air. But even if Hollywood has its hopes up, Burton and star Jenna Ortega aren’t making any promises.

In histories of early photography, Louis Daguerre faithfully appears as one of the fathers of the medium. His patented process, the daguerreotype, in wide use for nearly twenty years in the early 19th century, produced so many of the images we associate with the period, including famous photographs of Abraham Lincoln, Edgar Allan Poe, Emily Dickinson, and John Brown.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge rumor teases the best of both worlds

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR The next Galaxy Edge phone is rumored to be even thinner than its predecessor. The rumor also suggests that the device may have a larger battery. To achieve this feat, Samsung may use “new battery material technology.” The Galaxy S25 Edge stands out from the rest of the Galaxy S25 line due to its slim and light design. However, to achieve this slender frame, Samsung had to make a number of sacrifices, which may have played a hand in its poor sales number
