I asked AI chatbots to plan a Valentine’s Day date. They were surprisingly helpful

Valentine’s Day is confusing enough for us humans. Imagine how confounding it might be for a machine.

While generative AI is designed to continually get smarter, romance is not something for which there’s a definitive course of study. So as Valentine’s Day approaches, we got curious: What have chatbots determined about affairs of the heart—or at least holidays that celebrate romance? As it turns out, chatbots love love!

This biotech is re-engineering cells to fight one of the cruelest cancers

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) isn’t the most commonly known cancer. It is, however, one of the deadliest—an awful rare malignancy of the blood and bone marrow whose victims are already older and frail, on average 68 years old when diagnosed. It has few treatment options—chemotherapy is most common, according to the American Cancer Society—and any available ones must be deployed immediately after it’s diagnosed given how rapidly this aggressive cancer spreads.

These 5 high-paying jobs don’t require a degree (and you can work remotely)

Many people think a bachelor’s degree is the key to a high-paying career. In fact, one of the most common concerns among job seekers without a four-year degree is that they’re unqualified to apply to roles calling for degree requirements. Past surveys have even revealed that respondents without a four-year degree tend to be the least satisfied with their professional life.

But hiring has changed significantly over the past several years, and while education is still im

A history of Mark Zuckerberg’s major apologies

When Mark Zuckerberg turned up at a Senate hearing to address the parents of children exploited, bullied, or driven to self-harm via social media, it felt like a time-worn convention had sprung back to life.

“I’m sorry for everything you’ve been through,” the Meta CEO said Wednesday. “No one should go through what you and your families have suffered.” Then he returned to corporate mode, noting Meta’s continued investments in “i

Why Disney-ESPN, Fox, and WBD are wrong about cord-cutters and sports

The jokes arrived almost immediately after the announcement. On Tuesday, February 6, Fox, Disney, and Warner Bros. Discovery unveiled plans to pool their resources into a brand-new mega-streamer, the most robust one-stop-shop for sports on the market. By the end of the day, social media users were snarking about how the trio had just reinvented cable.

Of course, the difference between the forthcoming streamer and cable is that people demonstrably want cable. Or at least they used to

Why Finnish airline Finnair is asking passengers to volunteer to get weighed before takeoff

Almost everything that gets onto a commercial plane—fuel, checked-in baggage, cargo, and meals—is weighed. For passengers and their cabin bags, most airlines use average data.

But Finnair, Finland’s national carrier, said Friday that it started asking passengers this week to voluntarily and anonymously hop onto a scale with their hand luggage at the country’s main airport in Helsinki. The airline said its aim is to get its own figures.

Delta unveils ‘premium’ lounges months after it made it harder to get into its existing ones

Delta Air Lines is leaning into luxury. The Atlanta-based carrier has announced plans to open a series of “premium” airport lounges for passengers later this year in New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, Los Angeles, and Boston.

The move follows a controversial decision last September by the airline to change its access policies to existing lounges, barring passengers in basic economy and no longer letting holders of American Express’s Delta S

Pinterest stock price today: Shares drop despite platform’s popularity with Gen Z

Pinterest dropped over 10% on Friday after its first-quarter revenue forecast came in a touch below investor expectations, in a sign that smaller social media platforms could be losing the battle to bigger players for ad dollars.

The image sharing platform’s numbers come on the heels of strong advertising sales from Meta and Alphabet’s Google, which have a greater ability to seize on the ad bounce back and the willingness of companies to spend more.

In defending Taylor Swift’s jet-setting ways, Swifties miss the point

Ahead of Taylor Swift’s presumed Super Bowl appearance, the spotlight isn’t on her relationship with Travis Kelce—it’s on how she’s getting to the game. Her most devoted fans are so eager to deflect criticism of Swift’s excessive private jet usage that they fail to understand the root of the backlash, and spread inaccurate information along the way.

Her carbon footprint is no secret: She’s already under scrutiny for her flights after
