Amazon has acquired New York City-based Fauna Robotics just a couple of months after it unveiled Sprout, a cute humanoid robot. Specific details of the buyout have yet to be shared, but Fauna CEO Rob Cochran said in a LinkedIn post on Tuesday that he was “incredibly excited” about the development. “When we launched in NYC back in February 2024, we set out with a clear mission: to ‘build capable, safe, and fun robots for everyone,’” Cochran wrote in the post. “Looking back at how far we’ve come in just two years, I am immensely proud of everything our team…
Apple is working on a major reboot for Siri that will make it compete with AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini.

Finally, Apple has confirmed the dates for its annual developer conference — WWDC 2026 — the event that lays the ground for the new iOS, iPadOS, and macOS versions that will be available for everyone in September 2026. However, alongside the yearly operating system refresh, the event also has the responsibility of revealing Apple’s advancements in AI. Unlike last year, the company might also showcase some new hardware (and the important ones no less), making it even more interesting. When is Apple hosting WWDC 2026?

Apple is planning a major AI overhaul with iOS 27, but one feature stands out because it could change your everyday experience. According to Bloomberg, the company is testing a version of Siri that could live across your entire iPhone, helping you inside apps, messages, and even system features. The new Siri will essentially build on Apple’s own AI systems while leaning on Google’s Gemini to handle the heavy lifting, combining both to create a smarter, more capable assistant that feels closer to modern AI tools. The updated Siri, internally called Campo, is being designed to handle real tasks. It…
When EverQuest was released in 1999, it went on to become one of the most influential games ever made. The popular MMO has endured over the decades in its original form, but fans and newcomers can enjoy a newly modernized version called EverQuest Legends.Developed by Daybreak Games and independent studio Game Jawn, EverQuest Legends is billed as a “fan-driven collaboration designed to give players a new way to experience classic EverQuest.” Legends channels the nostalgia for EverQuest’s early years, featuring the original graphics, music, zones, spell effects, and loot. However, it also boasts “countless” modern improvements and quality-of-life features like…
Merely six months after it launched as a standalone app, the Sora AI video generator app is riding into the sunset. The move is pretty surprising, as Google has ramped up its AI video efforts with Veo, while Chinese AI labels continue to deliver impressive results with products such as the viral Seedance AI video engine. A quick death for a viral AI tool “What you made with Sora mattered, and we know this news is disappointing. We’ll share more soon, including timelines for the app and API and details on preserving your work,” OpenAI shared in a post. Interestingly,…
I didn’t expect Marathon to leave as large of an impact on me as it has. While I’ve loved Bungie games in the past, including hundreds of hours spent in Destiny 2, from the outside looking in I didn’t anticipate it would nail the extraction-shooter loop as well as it has – nor how well it would mesh with Bungie’s existing expertise.For anyone not familiar with the genre, Marathon is much like its peers wherein death means losing whatever equipment and items you choose to spawn into a map with, while successfully extracting means relishing in your new spoils. On …
Your smart TV might look like a simple screen for entertainment, but a bigger battle is playing out behind it. Major broadcasters like Disney, NBCUniversal, and Warner Bros Discovery are now pushing European regulators to rein in tech giants like Google, Apple, Amazon, and Samsung over how content is controlled and delivered. According to Reuters, the companies have approached EU antitrust authorities, asking for smart TVs and set-top boxes to be regulated under the Digital Markets Act (DMA). This law is designed to limit the power of large platforms (or so-called gatekeepers) that control access to users and markets. Why…
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has made one of the boldest claims in AI right now. Speaking on the Lex Fridman podcast, he said, “I think we’ve achieved AGI.” That statement alone is enough to grab attention, but it also raises a bigger question. What exactly counts as AGI in the first place? The term has been used heavily across the tech industry, but it still does not have a clear, shared definition. It is generally understood as AI that can match or surpass human intelligence across tasks, but how you measure that remains up for debate. What is AGI, and…
