Robinhood on Tuesday unveiled the Robinhood Gold Card, its first credit card. For some Gold cardholders, the credit card will actually be made from real gold, weighing in at a whopping 36 grams (roughly 1.27 ounces).
“I think it’s the heaviest credit card on the market,” says Deepak Rao, general manager of Robinhood Money. “If you accidentally drop it on your table, ever
Generative AI models don’t know what they don’t know. Ask a question on a subject they haven’t encountered in their training, and they might just make something up. For an individual playing around with the tech, that’s an annoyance. For a company, it’s a nightmare.
That’s why the best AI application developers are building their own AI around the foundation model, leveraging unique technology or data to get the good out of LLMs while managing the bad. When done wel

While I’m particularly excited about generative AI’s power to transform creativity and productivity everywhere, I recognize that without appropriate oversight, this potentially revolutionary technology can also present real threats and hard challenges.

Now when you’re researching places to visit, you can pull up a curated list of things to do within a particular city within Google Maps. The featu
Presidential longshot Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced Tuesday that he has selected Nicole Shanahan as his vice-presidential running mate in his independent bid for the White House. Shanahan, an attorney and entrepreneur who is well-known in tech circles, has never before sought public office.
For Kennedy, it caps a long search for a prospective running mate that set the political rumor mill on fire in an otherwise repetitive election cycle. Still, many Americans may not be familiar
While you’re likely being inundated with political ads on your television, radio, and even your street corner, there’s one place you might have noticed that is relatively light on political content: Instagram.
In a blog post in early February, Instagram owner Meta announced plans to remove political content from its recommendation surfaces across Instagram and Threads. At the time, the company said “we don’t want to get between you and their posts, but we
Trump Media & Technology Group, the Donald Trump-backed media organization behind Truth Social, is off to a soaring start in its public debut, and the former president is set to reap billions off its Nasdaq performance.
But a new study suggests that Truth Social is still sorely lacking when it comes to political effectiveness. Research published in the Journal of Information Technology & Politics looked at the question of whether Trump has been able to leverage Truth Social into fre
