It’s 2009. Everyone is rocking ankle socks. “TikTok,” is just a Ke$ha song. You pull out your BlackBerry Bold 9700 and update your BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) status. All is well.

Before the iPhone, the BlackBerry was the “it” phone. At its peak in the early 2000s, BlackBerry commanded over 50% of

Teaching AI isn’t enough—we need to teach wisdom, too

Artificial intelligence is shaking the intellectual, emotional, and economic foundations of the world. A glance at mainstream or social media confirms that the world ahead will look nothing like the one we’re leaving behind.

Video game voice actors and motion capture artists could be headed back to work soon. SAG-AFTRA and major video game companies have announced a tentative contract agreement, 11 months after union members began a work stoppage. Artificial intelligence was at the heart of the dispute.

The artists experimenting with camera glasses and bodycams

Barely anything that truly makes me pause on the internet is shot using traditional, modern camera tech. I appreciate the grainy texture of film photos and the fast, smooth zoom of a shitty camcorder, but more than anything, I love an artist who has the guts to throw something completely different at their audience. I love those viral Marc Jacobs videos featuring Lil Uzi Vert and FKA Twigs, and Jack Harlow’s Hello Miss Johnson

Why Apple iOS 26 might make you want to make phone calls again

Apple is stuck in neutral when it comes to personal AI

The missing key for defense innovation? A good coworking space 

As the director of commercial engagement for the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), a Department of Defense (DOD) organization that funds startups developing cutting-edge weapons technology for the military, Sarah Pearson is well acquainted with keeping secrets.

It’s not for any cloak-and-dagger reason, just bureaucracy. With security clearances taking up to 18 months, Pearson’s team of

MAHA v. Moderna: The COVID vaccine maker is under attack by RFK Jr.’s department of health

Moderna CEO and cofounder Stéphane Bancel probably never imagined he’d look back on March 2023 as the good old days. Then, he merely had to go before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee and take a spitty dressing-down from Senator Bernie Sanders over the price of Moderna’s COVID vaccine. The company was held up as a poster child for “corporate greed.” For a U.S. pharma executive, though, that was more or less business as usual.

Today, the situation is anythi

Strategický problém: Rusko údajně vyvíjí raketu vzduch-vzduch s jadernou hlavicí

3 great sites for recycling or giving away old tech

Well, it’s a sad day in the Aamoth household: I’m thinking of getting rid of the 15-year-old Asus netbook that’s been collecting dust in the corner of my office.

Vibe coding lets anyone write software—but comes with risks

Whether you’re streaming a show, paying bills online or sending an email, each of these actions relies on computer programs that run behind the scenes. The process of writing computer programs is known as coding. Until recently, most computer code was written, at least originally, by human beings.
