cnbc.com Ari Levy 2026-02-05 23:22:18

Opendoor shares popped about 10% on Friday after CEO Carrie Wheeler said she's resigning from the online real estate company, which has seen a surge in recent interest from retail investors. Pressure began building on Wheeler, who took over the top job in 2022, after the company's quarterly earnings report earlier this month failed to reassure investors that a turnaround is underway. The stock is up more than sixfold since bottoming out at 51 cents in June, a price that put the company at risk

The $100 open-ear headphones that made me forget about my Shokz

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2026-02-05 22:32:00

I depend on earbuds to keep my runs from feeling like a chore. This is especially so during the hot summer months, when any distraction from the heat is a necessity. When I go on longer runs, I need earbuds that can not only tolerate my copious sweat, but also not constantly remind me that I have something on my ears. Because of the amount of sweat I produce when running, I can't wear traditional earbuds (I've destroyed at least a dozen pairs), which means I have to use either bone-conducting h

Open-Sourced AI Models May Be More Costly in the Long Run, Study Finds

As more businesses adopt AI, picking which model to go with is a major decision. While open-sourced models may seem cheaper initially, a new study warns that those savings can evaporate fast, due to the extra computing power they require. In fact, open-source AI models burn through significantly more computing resources than their closed-source rivals when performing the same tasks, according to a study published Thursday by Nous Research.

Does Steven Spielberg’s ‘AI: Artificial Intelligence’ Play Differently Today?

Rewatching Steven Spielberg’s 2001 film AI: Artificial Intelligence, it feels as plausible as ever, but also more misguided. In 2001, AI was barely a thought in everyday life. It was the thing that destroyed the world in Terminator, and still a lofty goal in tech circles. Today, as the technology continues to grow and dominate daily conversation in almost every way, you may expect to watch the film and have a slightly new perspective. Some change in insight.
