Amid the usual doom and gloom that surrounds the internet these days, the world experienced an all-too-rare moment of joy over the past week: the arrival of a new artificial intelligence chatbot, ChatGPT.
The AI-powered chat tool, which takes pretty much any prompt a user throws at it and produces what they want, whether code or text, was launched by the team at AI development company OpenAI on November 30; by December 5, more than one million users had tested it out. The AI model c
Rapper Kendrick Lamar sits between comedian ExavierTV and billionaire investor Ray Dalio. The strange trio is discussing a problem: Exavier lost money in a dice game to a friend, torpedoing his plans to grow his barbershop—a fact we (most of us) know only by way of Lamar’s effortlessly translating Exavier’s slang-heavy rant. Dalio offers a jargon-filled assessment of Exavier’s situation that Lamar distills into something decipherable: Avoid risky dice games and inv
Type “Teddy bears working on new AI research on the moon in the 1980s” into any of the recently released text-to-image artificial intelligence image generators, and after just a few seconds the sophisticated software will produce an eerily pertinent image.

Nancy Pelosi, whose wealthy congressional district in San Francisco includes the headquarters of some of the world’s largest tech companies, was never known as a staunch critic of Silicon Valley. While the 82-year-old outgoing House speaker has expressed support for some of the Democratic Party’s most ambitious tech legislation in recent years, she’s also been accused of using her agenda-setting power to slow-walk those bills and prevent them from becoming law.
Did you know that Wordle turned one year old in October? It feels like we’ve been playing it for a lot longer than that, doesn’t it?
And of all the possible daily rituals I’d manage to stick with for an entire year, I certainly didn’t have “web-based word game” on my bingo card this time. Yet, here we are.
Whether you’re still a fan of Wordle, or you’ve never played it before (you should), I’ve come up with what I be

Stock trading app Robinhood wants its users to start planning for retirement. The San Francisco-based company announced today that it’s launching retirement accounts, allowing day traders and others to start saving via IRAs and Roth IRAs, a move that puts the platform in more direct competition with traditional brokerages.
The new retirement accounts will let users invest in stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Robinhood does not require an account minimum to get started
For many people, Facebook is the chief source of information in today’s world. But in a statement Monday, Meta threatened to pull all news off its flagship social media platform.
It was a shot across the bow that confused a lot of users. At its heart is a bill making its way through Congress, which Meta and Mark Zuckerberg feel diminishes the value the social media platform provides to news outlets.
Andy Stone, Meta’s policy-communications director, issued th
It is common to hear news reports about large data breaches, but what happens once your personal data is stolen? Our research shows that, like most legal commodities, stolen data products flow through a supply chain consisting of producers, wholesalers, and consumers. But this supply chain involves the interconnection of multiple criminal organizations operating in illicit underground marketplaces.
The stolen data supply chain begins with producers—hackers who explo
Uber and Motional announced Wednesday they’re kicking off their self-driving offering in Las Vegas, two months after the companies inked a 10-year deal to offer driverless rides and deliveries.
Customers aren’t able to book the autonomous vehicles directly. Rather, they’ll have to select the “UberX” or “Uber Comfort Electric” options for a chance to be matched with a Motional vehicle. If one of its self-driving cars is available, cust
