The CEO of Nvidia Admits What Everybody Is Afraid of About AI

This week, Nvidia became the first company in history to be worth $4 trillion. It’s a number so large it’s almost meaningless, more than the entire economy of Germany or the United Kingdom. While Wall Street celebrates, the question for everyone else is simple: So what? The answer, according to Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang, is that this is not just about stock prices. It’s about a fundamental rewiring of our world. So why is this one company so important? In the simplest terms, Nvidia makes the “

Species at 30 makes for a great guilty pleasure

Earlier this month, Hollywood mourned the passing of Michael Madsen, a gifted actor best known for his critically acclaimed roles in Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill, and Donnie Brasco, among others. Few obituaries have mentioned one of his lesser-known roles: a black ops mercenary hired to help hunt down an escaped human/alien hybrid in 1995's Species. The sci-fi thriller turns 30 this year and while it garnered decidedly mixed reviews upon release, the film holds up quite well as a not-quite-campy B

Study warns of ‘significant risks’ in using AI therapy chatbots

Therapy chatbots powered by large language models may stigmatize users with mental health conditions and otherwise respond inappropriately or even dangerously, according to researchers at Stanford University. While recent coverage in The New York Times and elsewhere has highlighted the role that ChatGPT may play in reinforcing delusional or conspiratorial thinking, a new paper titled “Expressing stigma and inappropriate responses prevents LLMs from safely replacing mental health providers” exam

Meta acquires voice startup Play AI

In Brief Meta has acquired Play AI, a startup that uses AI to generate human-sounding voices. A Meta spokesperson has confirmed the acquisition, according to Bloomberg, which also reports that an internal memo stated that the “entire PlayAI team” will be joining the company next week. (TechCrunch has also reached out to Meta for confirmation.) Meta’s memo reportedly said that PlayAI’s “work in creating natural voices, along with a platform for easy voice creation, is a great match for our wor

Gasp! Researchers Say There’s an Inaccuracy in Popular Teen Movies

Image by Peacock / NBC Studies According to a new study, teen films have a dirty little secret — and it's harming the real-life adolescents who watch them. After analyzing dozens of teen films, communications researchers at the University of Ohio found, per a new study published in the Journal of Children and Media, that the experiences depicted in them was so different from the lives and experiences of actual teens that they may as well have been speculative fiction. Looking at 53 teen films

James Webb Space Telescope Spots Stellar Death Shrouds

In brilliant new images, the James Webb Space Telescope has captured a rare glimpse at the gaseous "shrouds" that surround dying stars before they go supernova. Known as Wolf-Rayet stars, which were discovered nearly 160 years ago by astronomers Charles Wolf and Georges Rayet at the Paris Observatory and named in their honor, these ancient stars are, as Space.com notes, surrounded by a "shroud" of cosmic dust that will eventually explode outward and lay the foundations for new stars. These age

China Working On Levitating Train That Could Get You From New York to Chicago in Two Hours

As the United States struggles to keep its major cities connected by even the most barebones rail systems, China is screaming into the future with the development of a levitating bullet train. Called "maglev," short for "magnetic levitation," the train system is designed to levitate via magnets as opposed to wheels. Maglev systems can reach higher speeds much more efficiently than their wheeled counterparts, though the infrastructure needed to run them is incredibly expensive. While there are

The Amount of Electricity Generated From Solar Is Suddenly Unbelievable

If it feels like the world is being deluged with bad news lately, here's an actual bright spot: the Sun has become the go-to source of energy for tens of millions across the globe. A recent story by The New Yorker dove into the astonishing growth of solar energy over the past few years. Among other extensive data, the magazine notes that renewables made up 96 percent of demand for new energy throughout the globe in 2024; In the United States, 93 percent of new energy capacity came from solar an

Cursed Phone Case Imitates Human Skin

Who asked for this? Skin Deep If for some reason you wanted your smartphone experience to be as off-putting as possible, you should check out this phone case that imitates human skin to a supremely unnerving degree. Not only does it look and feel like an epidermus, but it gets sunburned like one too. Morbid as this sounds, the "Skincase" is actually intended to help you. The idea is that seeing the faux skin wilt from spending too much time outdoors will remind you to protect yourself against

A Company Tried to Put Real Estate on the Blockchain and Now It's Facing a Legal Disaster

Detroit is a city that's used to fighting. Once the third most populous city in the country, its citizens have long struggled against robber barons, anti-communist witch hunts, private sector looting, and racist housing laws. It hasn't had it easy, to say the least. Now, Outlier reports, the city is doing battle against a $93 million crypto real estate scheme. The city recently announced a massive lawsuit filed against RealToken, a cryptocurrency business that's snapping up hundreds of subsidi

The Garmin Forerunner 570 is a powerful running watch but the price is all wrong

Garmin Forerunner 570 The Garmin Forerunner 570 is a sleek, high-performing running watch that nails the essentials and then some, but its price puts it in a strange no man’s land between its better-value siblings. With advanced training tools, added smart tools, and highly accurate sensors, it’s easy to love while wearing it, but unless you find it discounted, it's tricky to justify buying in the first place. I’ve spent the past few weeks testing the Garmin Forerunner 570, Garmin’s latest addi

This is the best cross-platform 2FA app I’ve used — and you should try it too

Karandeep Singh / Android Authority When a sizeable chunk of online attacks involves weak passwords and unauthorized account access, second-factor authentication (2FA) is one of those magic bullets that can save your digital life from getting compromised. But they’re only usable if they don’t become an inconvenience themselves. Inconvenient — that’s exactly what a lot of 2FA apps have been for me. Some wanted to lock me down to their app, some had themselves been compromised, while others were

5 reasons I still use a projector even though I already own a big TV

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority I live with a fairly large TV, the consequence of sharing a space with someone who watches a lot of sports. It’s bright, sharp, and reliably front-and-center in our living room. But after testing a handful of projectors for work, I started to wonder whether they still make sense in homes that already have TVs (especially big ones). At least in my case, the answer is yes. I still reach for mine as a flexible, portable option when a traditional TV doesn’t quite

Never mind the Galaxy Z Fold 7, I wish Samsung copied this foldable alternative

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has just launched, and it’s one of the thinnest foldables yet, while offering a larger folding screen than previous models. As cool as Samsung’s latest Fold is, though, I’ve been spending time with an old alternative to foldable phones, and I’d love Samsung to copy this trick. Yep, I’m talking about LG’s Dual Screen Case. The LG Dual Screen Case was first launched in 2019 for the LG V50, and most subsequent LG flagship phones suppor

5 features I don’t care about when buying a new phone

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority When it comes to buying a new smartphone, it’s easy to get caught up in all the hype. Manufacturers constantly push the latest and greatest features, leading many of us to buy more phone than we actually need. When I’m in the market for a new phone, I always try to narrow down my options as much as possible. I do that by making a list of not only the features I want in my next smartphone but also those I don’t care about. This approach helps me cut through th

Report: Apple’s all-new smart home hub is no longer likely to launch this year

The all-new smart home hub was supposed to be Apple’s star of the show this year. There was just one problem: Siri. After a multitude of Siri hiccups and delays, it begun to look more and more unlikely that the product would launch in 2025. Now, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman is reporting that a 2026 launch is almost a guarantee. Originally, it seemed all but confirmed that we’d see the Apple smart home hub around March or so. The product was well rumored throughout 2024, and we essentially know every

EA is reportedly hitting the brakes on the Need for Speed franchise

The Need for Speed franchise could be making its last laps — at least for the time being. Matthew Everingham, a photographer who frequently contributed to car culture website Speedhunters, said in social media posts that Electronic Arts has "shelved Need for Speed" and is "quietly parking" the series. Speedhunters, which was funded by EA and was last updated in April of this year, will also reportedly cease operations for now. EA hasn't released an official statement on the fate of the Need for

Google Gemini flaw hijacks email summaries for phishing

Google Gemini for Workspace can be exploited to generate email summaries that appear legitimate but include malicious instructions or warnings that direct users to phishing sites without using attachments or direct links. Such an attack leverages indirect prompt injections that are hidden inside an email and obeyed by Gemini when generating the message summary. Despite similar prompt attacks being reported since 2024 and safeguards being implemented to block misleading responses, the technique

How agentic AI is transforming the very foundations of business strategy

Jiojio/Getty Images Business is on a never-ending quest to boost efficiency, cut costs, and increase productivity. Some of the earliest known businesses -- ancient Mesopotamian traders -- inspired the invention of writing. (Record keeping -- now that's a competitive advantage!) Similar needs have existed in every economic period. The big difference now is that AI technology can boost these efficiencies in new and exponentially profitable ways. Agentic AI is at the core of this efficiency boost

A Mental Model for C++ Coroutine

C++ coroutine is not a library that is ready to go (e.g. std::vector ). It is not even a trait (think of Rust’s Future trait) that library writers or users can implement (or the compiler generates for you in the case of Rust). C++ coroutine is a specification that defines a set of customization points that library writers implement in order to get a functional coroutine. A function supports two operations - call and return . A coroutine (in any language) is a generalization of a function. It su

Show HN: ArchGW – an intelligent edge and service proxy for agents

Hey HN! This is Adil, Salman and Jose and and we’re behind archgw [1]. An intelligent proxy server designed as an edge and AI gateway for agents - one that natively know how to handle prompts, not just network traffic. We’ve made several sweeping changes so sharing the project again. A bit of background on why we’ve built this project. Building AI agent demos is easy, but to create something production-ready there is a lot of repeat low-level plumbing work that everyone is doing. You’re applyi

Lua beats MicroPython for serious embedded devs

Why Lua Beats MicroPython for Serious Embedded Devs In professional embedded projects, ranging from industrial automation to medical devices and commercial IoT products, developers increasingly favor high-level, lightweight, and easy-to-use environments. While MicroPython has earned praise for rapid prototyping and field deployments on microcontrollers, its active ecosystem is largely centered around hobbyist boards. It is important to note that Python’s greatest strength, its vast library eco

Let me pay for Firefox

Hi Mozilla community, I’m a long time Mozilla supporter, I’ve published free (as in freedom) and open-source software, and I desperately want Mozilla to charge for Firefox. If that sounds like a contradiction, please keep reading. I first became involved with the Mozilla community around 2006. I was active in the Spread Firefox project, where I ran a contest that encouraged others to promote Firefox in the most creative ways they could imagine. In hindsight, I guess it could have been called a
