Illinois bans use of artificial intelligence for mental health therapy

news.ycombinator.com Daniel Wu 2025-12-01 18:11:50

Illinois last week banned the use of artificial intelligence in mental health therapy, joining a small group of states regulating the emerging use of AI-powered chatbots for emotional support and advice. Licensed therapists in Illinois are now forbidden from using AI to make treatment decisions or communicate with clients, though they can still use AI for administrative tasks. Companies are also not allowed to offer AI-powered therapy services — or advertise chatbots as therapy tools — without t

Apple’s AI-Enabled iPad on a Robot Arm May Interrupt Your Conversations (In a Positive Way)

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-12-01 18:25:20

Sure, Apple’s AI-enhanced Siri rollout turned into a massive SNAFU that gave the Cupertino tech giant a rare black eye, but the company won’t quit on Apple Intelligence just yet. The latest reports suggest Apple will try and sell consumers on at-home robots set to arrive in the next two years, along with a version of its AI assistant that sports a face and “personality.” If the rumors are true, the company won’t stuff AI into a ball-shaped bot that users hopefully won’t trip over, but will put i

Apple Watch Ultra 3 is coming very soon, and rumors indicate it could remedy a discrepancy that arose last year, when the Apple Watch Series 10 debuted several exclusive features that bested the latest Ultra model.

The redundant iTunes Movies and TV Shows apps can now be hidden from the Apple TV Home Screen

The iTunes Movies and TV Shows app predate the unified Apple TV app, and go all the way back to the first version of tvOS in 2015. Fast forward to today, and these apps are almost entirely redundant and serve as mere placeholders. As system apps on Apple TV are not deletable, these husks of times past have somewhat comically stuck around on the Apple TV home screen. With the latest beta of tvOS 26, users will finally have a way to bury these apps for good. Up to now, the only workaround to kee

Norton VPN review: A VPN that fails to meet Norton's standards

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-02 09:00:37

One thing I need to make clear right from the start: this is a review of Norton VPN (formerly Norton Secure VPN, and briefly Norton Ultra VPN) as a standalone app, not of the VPN feature in the Norton 360 package. They're similar, but Norton VPN has a few more features, including the ability to choose cities as server locations in countries with more than one option. I'll state my opinion up front. Norton VPN isn't a bad service, but it's not good enough to get ahead of its direct competitors.
