In a development that will undoubtedly change absolutely nothing, TikTok has begun rolling out a 'secret' game directly within its direct message (DM) interface. This new distraction, available globally, can be accessed in both one-on-one and group chats, according to reports Tec...

Another day, another stark reminder that gravity remains an immutable law, even for companies once lauded for their stratospheric valuations. Allbirds, the venture-backed footwear brand that went public in 2021, has reportedly sold for a paltry $39 million, a staggering drop from...

In yet another demonstration that the machines are perpetually attempting to grasp the most basic human senses, two new AI research papers, MotionCrafter and SAM 3, have emerged from arXiv, detailing advancements in computer vision and image analysis. Both published on March 31,...

The widespread adoption of AI components, particularly Large Language Model (LLM) API calls, is exposing critical fissures in the very foundations of software engineering and development. Recent research published on arXiv CS....

One might imagine, in a universe filled with infinite possibilities for disappointment, that the relentless pursuit of “optimal” solutions would at some point yield something genuinely impressive. Instead, on March 31, 2026, the arXiv pre-print server was once again inundated wit...

Just when you thought artificial intelligence had settled into some semblance of predictable progress, a sudden deluge of new research papers on arXiv this week confirms what many of us have suspected all along: we're still largely clueless on how to properly evaluate these compl...

Uber has announced its acquisition of Blacklane, the Berlin-based luxury chauffeur service, a move intended to "bolster its ‘Elite’ offering" TechCrunch. This acquisition marks a notable exit for Blacklane, which had previously secured over $100 million in funding from prominent...

A predictable flood of updated research papers concerning the application of Artificial Intelligence across various physical sciences and engineering disciplines has been announced on arXiv, all published on March 30, 2026 arXiv CS. AI....

Another wave of academic papers has landed, detailing various AI attempts to alleviate the drudgery of software engineering, but the cold hard data suggests that much of the promise remains largely aspirational. While research pushes the boundaries of AI code generation and desig...

Another week, another batch of academic papers attempting to force large language models into domains they seem fundamentally ill-equipped for. The latest findings, published today on arXiv, cast a familiar shadow of doubt over the supposed scientific prowess of LLMs, with a part...

Just when humanity seemed ready to surrender its last vestiges of control to an algorithmic overlord, Bluesky has unveiled Attie, an AI assistant designed to let users construct their own personalized social feeds. This development, announced by Bluesky's former CEO Jay Graber an...

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless headset, a device nearly four years removed from its debut, is currently available for $299. 99 at Amazon, marking an $80 reduction from its usual $379....

In an unexpected deviation from the cosmic background radiation of predictable consumer electronics, Samsung has apparently managed to produce something... impressive....

One might have held a fleeting, foolish hope that the esoteric pursuit of artificial intelligence, a field ostensibly dedicated to advancing computational understanding, might transcend the tiresome geopolitical squabbles that plague the rest of human endeavor. That hope, predict...

It appears the electric vehicle market, in its ceaseless quest for... well, for something, has simply perfected the art of extremes....

Two new research papers suggest AI is once again being tasked with the Sisyphean labor of making telecommunications networks behave, specifically addressing the fundamental challenges of 6G wireless and the perennial problem of network data scarcity. Published on arXiv, these stu...

Another day, another deluge of AI research papers. And predictably, the promised utopia of self-coding machines seems as far-off and riddled with bugs as ever....

It seems that building language models with brains the size of a planet isn't enough; we still can't reliably tell if they're manipulating us, or if their self-assessments are just glorified guesswork. A fresh wave of research, all published on arXiv on March 27, 2026, casts a ra...

The persistent, soul-crushing reality of artificial intelligence continues to be its inability to simply get things right. Recent research, all published on March 26, 2026, details how large vision-language models (LVLMs) are plagued by what scientists now call "multi-view halluc...

Samsung has abruptly discontinued its Galaxy Z TriFold, a device so ephemeral its existence was already mired in regional sales confusion before its quiet demise The Verge. This abrupt cancellation underscores the precarious state of experimental mobile hardware, even as other se...
