The future belongs to systems of action

The world of enterprise tech is built on sturdy foundations. For decades, systems of record—the databases, customer relationship management (CRM), and enterprise resource planning (ERP) platforms we’re all intimately familiar with—have served as reliable pillars underpinning every major business. Vendors selling them have become household names and the technology is a core component of how enterprises operate, scale, and report. They’ve embedded themselves, seemingly immovably, into how the

Bluesky users report AI bots, disinformation, and copycat accounts

Banning Chinese-made drones could hurt some Americans

Russell Hedrick, a North Carolina farmer, flies drones to spray fertilizers on his corn, soybean and wheat fields at a fraction of what it would cost him to use a conventional ground spreader.

As a volunteer rescuer, Hedrick uses thermal drones to search for people trapped by mudslides and cargo drones to send water and baby formula to those who are stranded — something he did after 

Fake AI-generated reviews are all over the internet, research shows

The emergence of generative artificial intelligence tools that allow people to efficiently produce novel and detailed online reviews with almost no work has put merchants, service providers and consumers in uncharted territory, watchdog groups and researchers say.

How digital transformation is reshaping energy systems

A balanced planet requires more energy with less carbon. The energy transition to a lower carbon future is arguably the largest and most significant challenge ever contemplated or attempted in the history of our planet. Achieving a balanced planet means our current energy mix must evolve to include more lower- and zero-carbon forms of energy, such as geothermal and hydrogen. Hydrocarbons, however, will still play a critical role for decades to support a secure energy mix, so it is imperative

I tried out 3 media outlets’ AI chatbots. Here’s what happened

How fitting for Time to debut an AI chatbot last week with its annual Person of the Year package. AI was almost certainly Thing of the Year, after all, even if there’s no official award for that.

Ever since OpenAI made ChatGPT

We used Google’s AI to analyze 188 predictions of what’s in store for tech in 2025

At this time of year investment banks, advertising agencies, and seemingly every other business on the planet share their predictions on what is likely to unfold in the next 12 months. Journalists’ inboxes sag under the weight of unsolicited predictions for the year ahead.

But separating the wheat from the chaff when it comes to forecasts of the year ahead can be tricky.

Use a technology that has come into its own in 2024—generative artificial intelligence—may help. Noteb

How (and why) to start using an RSS reader for news again

Imagine having a single app to keep up with your favorite news sources, YouTube channels, newsletters, and blogs, all in an easy-to-read format with no social media algorithms deciding what you see.

That’s the idea behind RSS, a 25-year-old open standard for syndicating content from around the web. Using an RSS reader app, you can create your own custom feeds for news and information, accessing them all through a clutter-free, reader-friendly view.

RSS can be overwhelming

Neexistuje? Příznivci nehomogenního vesmíru zpochybňují temnou energii

Novozélandský fyzik David Wiltshire v roce 2007 navrhl „časoslednou kosmologii“ (Timescale cosmology), která vysvětluje pozorované zrychlování rozpínání vesmíru bez nutnosti zavádění temné energie, jako přelud vyplývající z nehomogenní povahy vesmíru, kde čas plyne různě rychle v prostředích s různou hustotou hmoty. http://www.osel.cz/13833-neexistuje-priznivci-nehomogenniho-vesmiru-zpochybnuji-temnou-energii.html

How to empower people through value transformation

In the business world, transformation has become a buzzword—one that’s often discussed but rarely grounded in clarity. While many focus on digital transformation as a tech-driven revolution, the real conversation should be about value transformation. What does it take to shift organizational priorities from chasing trends to creating meaningful impact? And more importantly, how do we ensure these transformations empower people rather than just adding layers of complexity?

This new AI chatbot is your personal present-finding wizard

Finding the perfect present isn’t always easy—especially if the people in your life are, let’s say, challenging to shop for.

And while gift guides can be a great resource for certain purposes, they aren’t exactly catered to your personal needs and the tastes of those around you.

So what if AI could save the day? A new AI-powered gift-recommending chatbot has been winning over my colleagues, even leading one to find the just-right gift f

Andrew Ng is betting big on agentic AI

Andrew Ng came up with a theory almost 15 years ago: What if Google, the internet giant, thought of machines like the brain and trained neural networks on mass amounts of data using computational power in an attempt to lead to artificial general intelligence? 

Google bit on Ng’s line of thinking, and in 2011 he helped launch Google Brain, one of the most ambitious artificial intelli

Inside IBM’s race to achieve quantum advantage

It’s an unscientific fact that nine out of every 10 conversations about tech in the past year have been about AI. But the 10th has been about quantum computing. In a period of just over a year, the perennial technology of the future has become suddenly real—with major breakthroughs in computing hardware and software, significant public and private investments, and rising stock prices

What to do if someone is shading you online

There are certain social media rules we can all agree on: Ghosting a conversation is impolite, and replying “k” to a text is the equivalent of a backhand slap (violent, wrong, and rude). But what about the rest of the rules? When can we really remind someone of our old Venmo request? What happens when someone tries to flirt with you on LinkedIn?

Nečekané zásoby: Pod zemským povrchem se skrývají miliony milionů tun vodíku

Vodík by byl super pro zelenou energetiku. Kde ho ale vzít a nespálit při tom spoustu fosilních paliv? Geologové US Geological Survey dramaticky zvyšují odhady množství přírodního vodíku, který vzniká při chemických reakcích v horninách.

‘You think you know love until you read this book’: Why TikTok is obsessed with this 1848 Russian novella

Daron Acemoglu thinks AI is solving the wrong problems

While those two things are not directly related, Acemoglu says there’s a common thread. Acemoglu and his co-laureates, Simon Johnson and James Robinson, were recognized for their research on how societies with extractive political systems

‘Combat their crazy opinion with an even crazier opinion’: This TikToker offers tips for handling tense family conversations over the holidays

The holidays can be a hotbed for arguments, whether it’s a squabble in the kitchen or a heated game of monopoly. “Never discuss religion, sex, politics, or money” might be sage advice when it comes to the festive period, but it’s more often than not ignored after a few drinks.
