Some unusual witnesses helped convict Alex Murdaugh of the murders of his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul.
The first was Bubba, Maggie’s yellow Labrador retriever. Prosecutors used a recording of Bubba to place Alex at the site of the murders. Given Alex’s presence at the crime scene, other witnesses then revealed his movements, tracked his speed and explained what he had in his hands.

Danish artist Andreas Refsgaard has been combining generative AI with handcrafted prototypes to create unique glimpses of what’s ahead—a future that could one day make artists like him obsolete.

Is it time to BeReal again?
In 2022, the photo-sharing app surged in popularity, won Apple’s “App of the Year,” and even earned its own SNL skit. Once a day, at a random time, users were prompted to post a picture of whatever they were doing. With a 2-minute timer and one shot to make it count, the app’s premise was to capture real moments in real time.
But like most viral sensations, the novelty wore off. Downloads dropped, usage stagnated, and in 2023, the app was

A few weeks ago, I finally paid for ChatGPT Plus.
It started with a simple goal: I wanted to create a personal archive of my published articles, but wasn’t sure how to begin. That led to a long back-and-forth with ChatGPT, where we built a Python script to scrape my author pages, download the content, and format everything cleanly. By the time I hit the free usage limit, I was too invested to pause or switch to another chatbot. So I upgraded.
In hindsight, the money ($20

Everyone who’s ever talked to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other big-name chatbots recognizes how anodyne they can be.
