Tab groups, search, swipes, and more Most iOS users fall into two main categories: those who close a tab immediately after they’re done with it (even if they’re bound to open that same website again in a few minutes), and those who never, ever close their tabs.

New AI model turns photos into explorable 3D worlds, with caveats

On Tuesday, Tencent released HunyuanWorld-Voyager, a new open-weights AI model that generates 3D-consistent video sequences from a single image, allowing users to pilot a camera path to "explore" virtual scenes. The model simultaneously generates RGB video and depth information to enable direct 3D reconstruction without the need for traditional modeling techniques. However, it won't be replacing video games anytime soon. The results aren't true 3D models, but they achieve a similar effect: The

Tesla Just Published a New "Master Plan" and Um, How Do We Say This

Elon Musk's Tesla has revealed its new "master plan" — and it's so chock-full of meaningless corporate buzzwords, we can't help but suspect that it was generated by an AI chatbot. The so-called "Master Plan Part IV" follows up on Musk's preceding "master plan" installment, which underwhelmed investors back in early 2023 with a vague promise to greatly streamline manufacturing, the consequent release of a cheaper EV, and in-house lithium refinement for batteries. The embattled company's followu

FirstClub bucks India’s speed obsession, quickly triples valuation to $120M with premium approach
