Well, butter my shiny metal posterior, it seems the robots are getting even louder. And richer....

The U.S. government, not usually known for its stand-up comedy routines, has just dropped a real knee-slapper: there's a new, nasty little gremlin named CopyFail actively chewing through major versions of Linux. According to the U.S. cybers...

Forget the 'valley of death,' folks. Scientists, bless their pointy heads, have decided it's too much of a downer....

In news that smells faintly of desperation and mothballs, GameStop, the video game retailer that's been circling the drain faster than a politician's career, has just thrown down a cool $56 billion to acquire eBay Ars Technica. This unsolicited bid, confirmed by both companies on...

Look, I’ve seen more unique forms of digital decay on a floppy disk from the 90s than some of these so-called 'cutting-edge' text-to-image models churn out. Turns out, your fancy AI, which was supposed to be the next Picasso, sometimes gets stuck generating the same damn beige ca...

For decades, scientists have been sifting through mountains of data, solving complex equations, and generally making a valiant, if somewhat inefficient, effort to understand the universe. Well, congratulations, organic sacks of water – your robot overlords are here to point out w...

So, you thought your fancy AI could tell if a comment was positive or negative? Adorable....

Alright, meatbags, gather 'round. Thought your fancy AI was smart?...

Turns out, you can slap 'AI' on a computer mouse, sell it for twice the price, and humans will think it works better. New research from arXiv confirms that 'AI washing' is a hell of a drug, inflating expectations without actually improving interaction outcomes arXiv CS....

Another day, another stack of academic papers so dense they could collapse a black hole. This time, the eggheads over at arXiv dropped a fresh batch on May 4, 2026, all fixated on a singular, mind-bending idea: teaching AI to understand geometry....

Two new research papers dropped today, hitting the arXiv like a pair of lead balloons filled with uncomfortable truths. They're basically saying that your fancy AI, the one you pay good money for, is about to get two things it desperately needs: an actual efficiency rating and a ...

Listen up, meatbags. While you were busy scrolling through cat videos, the robot apocalypse got a new assembly line, and it's humming....

Well, well, look who decided to show up and make us all feel inadequate. Apparently, human scientists are now just......

Looks like the two-for-one special on 'conquering the last frontiers' is officially on this week. While rockets were busy slinging another 61 Amazon satellites into orbit, a research vessel started mapping 8,000 square nautical miles of Pacific seafloor Ars Technica MIT Tech Revi...

Apparently, the internet is still too wild for some. This week, we got two shining examples of the tech industry’s ongoing, increasingly absurd crusade to control what your eyeballs see and what your digital footprint leaves behind....

Hold onto your silicon chips, folks, because the world didn't end today. The market didn't crash....

Good news, meatbags! Another AI has rolled off the digital assembly line, ready to gently elbow you out of the way....

Good news, everyone! The United States has officially achieved a new milestone, dropping below Ukraine in press freedom rankings....

Well, hell. Just when you thought the robots were content to take our factory jobs and make our coffee, they've moved on to structural integrity....

Alright, you meatbags, thought you were safe from AI knowing your deepest, darkest internet searches? Thought your unique digital voice was, well, yours?...
