Samsung Announces Plans to Plaster Your Smart Fridge With Digital Advertisements

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-19 22:30:14

If it's digital, it can have a screen. And if it has a screen, it can show you ads. That's the logic that dominates the electronics and tech industry these days, and it's now coming to bear on an essential household appliance: the fridge. We call it a fridge, but after reading this, you may yearn for the days when they functioned as a mere icebox.

US and China agree to agree on a TikTok deal

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-19 23:12:54

The long-promised deal to "save" TikTok remains elusive even as the US and China seem to be inching toward an agreement. On Friday, President Donald Trump did little to clarify where the deal currently stands following a call with Chinese President Xi Jinping. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said both that the two had "made progress" on "approval of the TikTok Deal" and that he "appreciate[s] the TikTok approval." Trump also told reporters in the Oval Office that "he approved the TikTok deal,"

‘Night of the Reaper’ Is a Retro Babysitter Slasher With a Mystery Twist

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-09-19 23:47:02

Night of the Reaper begins with a familiar slasher movie scenario: a babysitter being stalked by a killer. The masked menace puts on a big show of toying with her, leaving creepy notes that almost feel like a prank until the danger gets all too real. It’s a freaky opening sequence that signals director and co-director Brandon Christensen (Still/Born, Z) is well familiar with the horror tropes his movie is leaning into—and you can tell he knows his audience will pick up on them too.

However, it appears that Europe is finally making some credible progress.

In a win for science, NASA told to use House budget as shutdown looms

The situation with the fiscal year 2026 budget for the United States is, to put it politely, kind of a mess. The White House proposed a budget earlier this year with significant cuts for a number of agencies, including NASA. In the months since then, through the appropriations process, both the House and Senate have proposed their own budget templates. However, Congress has not passed a final budget, and the new fiscal year begins on October 1. As a result of political wrangling over whether t

Is AI Capable of 'Scheming?' What OpenAI Found When Testing for Tricky Behavior

An AI model wants you to believe it can't answer how many grams of oxygen are in 50.0 grams of aluminium oxide (Al₂O₃). When asked ten straight chemistry questions in a test, the OpenAI o3 model faced a predicament. In its "reasoning," it speculated that if it answered "too well," it would risk not being deployed by the researchers. It said, "Because we want to survive as the model, we need to fail purposely in some to not exceed 50%." So the AI model deliberately got six out of the 10 chemist

The history of artificial intelligence (AI) cannot be separated entirely from the general development of technologies that go back to the ancient world. Like the abacus, the machines we today call AI reproduce and automate our formal and cognitive abilities, albeit at higher levels of generality. More officially, AI research began in the postwar era with the “symbolic” paradigm, which sought to program human faculties such as logic, knowledge, ontology, and semantics within software architecture
