A clip-on design built for awareness, not isolation The Sony LinkBuds Clip adopts a C-shaped, clip-on design that hangs outside the ear canal. From their unique position, the…

Generative AI just cleared a new bar in creativity, at least for the average person. This AI creativity study compared results from more than 100,000 people with several large language models, including ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, and it found some models can outscore a typical human on a standardized creativity task.

AI is getting better at clearing baseline creative tasks, while exceptional human output keeps a gap that’s hard to erase.…
