Google and Zoom this week announced new AI features in their videoconferencing apps that the companies said are aimed at improving employee productivity. The updates focus on automating tasks during and after a videoconference. Google Meet now has a feature that advises ...
The European Union finds itself at the center of a fierce debate over artificial intelligence regulation. The newly proposed AI Act, hailed by some as a pioneering framework to shape the future of technology, is now under fire amid accusations that it contains a major...
Kentucky's gift to tyranny, whose blockade of a President's nominee for the Supreme Court shifted the court's ideology and forever changed the United States, 'Moscow' Mitch McConnel announced he would not seek re-election. Named 'Moscow Mitch' for his aiding Russian...
Much like convicted felon Donald Trump's 'any story where he starts repeating the word sir is a lie.' Whenever challenged with the truth, Unconstitutional President Musk retreats to his favorite defense: name calling. Elon loves calling people names so much that he went to...
Emerging technologies such as connected transport, quantum sensing, healthcare diagnostics, and synthetic AI-driven content are creating huge gaps in data protection and privacy that could quickly outpace the ability of regulators and enterprises to contain them. It’s a...
On Wednesday, Microsoft introduced Muse, a generative AI model designed to transform how games are conceptualized, developed, and preserved. Built on the World and Human Action Model (WHAM), Muse can generate game visuals, predict controller inputs, or even combine both to...
A huge sinkhole swallowed up a huge chunk of street in Surrey, England Monday night, expanding to the length of a five-story building (65' x 20' and 16 feet deep) by mid-day Tuesday. Then, a second sinkhole popped open soon after, right across the road, measuring 16 feet in...
Le Chat, the chatbot app from French startup Mistral AI, has surpassed one million downloads in just 13 days, making a significant milestone for the company. While impressive, OpenAI’s ChatGPT reached the same milestone in five days, highlighting the intense competition in ...

Version 1.85.0 of the Rust language has been released. Changes in the release include support for async closures, some convenience iterators for tuples, and a number of stabilized APIs. The headline feature, though, is that this release stabilizes the Rust 2024 edition,...
Democratic Senators who voted for some of Trump's nominees already regret their decisions, with some vowing never again. One comment I find most laughable in this DailyKos article is Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland's expectation that Marco Rubio was consistent or had a...
Amazon has announced that is finally pulling the plug on its Android Appstore, and that’s not all -- Amazon Coins are going down with it too. From August 20, 2025, Amazon says the Appstore on Android devices will be no more. That means no new downloads, no updates, and...
The below video was purportedly shot by one Paul Eickhof who was working at the Riverside Cemetery in Fargo, North Dakota. The turkeys circle the gravestone, engraved with the name 'Harris,' over and over and over. 'While it is uncertain how long their 'ritual' had been...
