OpenAI’s new model, called o1, appears to think and ponder as you use it. But is it thinking? Or pondering? And what does it mean if it is? Would that make it worth the risks, which appear to be both greater and more plausible than ever? How do you balance the risks of destroying humanity with the possibility of improving it? This is the thing about talking about artificial intelligence: it has this nasty penchant of getting all existential on you.

While there’s no telling if or when a certain other Black vampire film will make its way into theaters, the first trailer for writer / director Ryan Coogler’s Sinners is here, and it looks sick as hell.
We’ve seen Coogler direct powerful pieces of dramatic social commentary like Fruitvale Station and blockbuster genre features like the Black Panther films, but he’s turning to straight horror with his latest project. Set in the 1930s Jim Crow South, Sinners revolves around...

SteelSeries is launching its latest lineup of Apex Pro Gen 3 gaming keyboards today, and there’s a noticeable focus on improving how the keyboards sound and feel. SteelSeries is upgrading its Hall effect switches, adding dampening foam, improving its switch stabilizers, and even factory lubricating each key in an effort to create a thockier sounding board.
SteelSeries is moving to new OmniPoint 3.0 switches on the Apex Pro Gen 3 lineup, which includes a full-size...
Get ready for a new Mozilla look with old-school internet vibes. | Image: Mozilla
Mozilla has overhauled its branding to pay homage to its Netscape roots and better distinguish the wider organization from its Firefox web browser. The most notable change is to the company’s logo: what was previously a sans-serif wordmark styled as “Moz://a,” has been updated to correctly spell out the Mozilla name, featuring a new customized typeface and an M-shaped flag.
According to Mozilla,...

Dozens of X posts containing images of Mario — including an AI-generated picture of the plumber holding a beer and a cigarette, created by The Verge using xAI’s Grok — were removed after a company called Tracer apparently used AI to identify the images and serve takedown notices on behalf of Nintendo.
According to an email received by The Verge’s Tom Warren, a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) notice was issued to X by “customer...

Google is getting ready to show off updated Street View imagery in nearly 80 countries. In a now-removed blog post seen by The Verge, Google announced that the new images are coming to countries like Australia, Brazil, Denmark, Japan, the Philippines, Rwanda, Serbia, South Africa, and more.
Google is also bringing Street View to a handful of countries where it’s never been available, including Bosnia, Namibia, Lichtenstein, and Paraguay. The company said its more portable...
Some experts said that Israel’s onslaught had left Hezbollah in disarray. Others noted its large weapons stockpiles and history of adapting to battle Israel’s much more high-tech military.
The financial giant says many customers still prefer physical interactions, especially to discuss things like investing. Its rival Chase Bank is also opening hundreds of locations.
For many Americans, online banking may be the preferred method of interacting with their bank’s services, but that isn’t stopping Bank of America from opening tons of new brick-and-mortar branches by the end of 2026.
Far from the “quiet quitters” of last year, these young employees are all-in on office life and the stability of a steady paycheck.
Louise arrives at the office at 8:00 a.m. At 8:15 a.m., she responds to emails and preps for meetings, before working on a powerpoint deck for a client. Making a coffee at 11:00 a.m., her afternoon is then filled with meetings. After work she heads to a networking event at 6:00 p.m. How do I know all this? I’ve just watched her corporate ‘day in the...
A hip-hop musical about the first U.S. Secretary of the Treasury didn’t exactly scream global phenomenon when it launched on Broadway in 2015. But Lin-Manuel Miranda had such a clear vision for Hamilton that it became exactly that, winning a Pulitzer Prize along the way. Miranda’s boundless creativity has stretched into writing songs for blockbuster Disney films including Encanto, Moana, and […]

Alyssa Thomas revealed that just a day before their playoff game against the Fever, the Connecticut Sun had to share a practice court with a two-year-olds birthday part.
With the WNBA playoffs just 24 hours away, the Connecticut Sun made headlines for holding their practice just a half of a basketball court — as the Mohegan Tribe that owns the team held a community event on the other half of the court, per the Hartford Courant’s Emily...

Netgear announced three new entries to its Nighthawk Wi-Fi 7 router collection today: the RS600, RS500, and RS200. The company says all three routers, which range in price from $229 to $499, will be available today.
The two pricier options, the $499 RS600 and the $399 RS500, are very similar: both are tri-band routers with 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz wireless connections. They each offer 320MHz channel bandwidth on the 6GHz band, which can mean much higher throughput to a...

Nothing has announced its first pair of open wearable stereo (OWS) earbuds that could be better suited for activities where you actually want to hear what’s going on around you. With a design that rests just inside your ear, the new Nothing Ear Open could also be a more comfortable alternative to earbuds that rely on silicone tips inserted into the ear canal.
The Nothing Ear Open join a growing trend in headphones where active noise cancelling...

Ecovacs has announced new additions to its budget-focused N-family line of robovacs. The Deebot N30 Omni includes a base station that can clean and dry the vacuum’s mopping heads, while the N20 Pro Plus’ dock can empty the robot’s dirt bin and store it in a plastic bin that eliminates the need for replaceable dust bags. Both robovacs debut at under $800.

One day after the Google TV Streamer hit stores, Roku is announcing its own latest streaming player. And unlike Google’s big design overhaul, the new Roku Ultra is playing things very safe. I’d argue maybe too safe. It’s still $99.99, still delivers Dolby Vision and Atmos, and it looks exactly the same as before, although the company says there are notable improvements inside.
The 2024 Ultra is 30 percent faster than any of Roku’s other players, and it now...
