During a recent appearance at a summit put on by the "All-In" podcast, Hassabis was asked about what was holding us back from reaching artificial general intelligence (AGI), the hypothetical point at which an AI matches or surpasses human-level intelligence. Hassabis said that current AI "

A slew of people are reporting that the Starbucks app is completely broken.

A Cooking Instructor Reveals 5 Foods You Should Never Put in a Nonstick Pan

Nonstick cookware serves a purpose in the kitchen, but it shouldn't be your go-to pan for every task. When used incorrectly, nonstick surfaces can ruin dishes by preventing proper browning and searing of meats and vegetables. Certain foods can also compromise the coating, reducing the pan's durability and potentially contaminating your meals with flaking nonstick material.
