A new investigation from The New York Times reveals how quickly YouTube floods feeds with bizarre AI-generated videos aimed at the youngest viewers. After a single CoComelon video, more than 40 percent of the recommended Shorts in a 15-minute session contained synthetic visuals. The algorithm pushes content from channels claiming to teach toddlers about the alphabet and animals. But the clips themselves are often nonsensical, featuring warped faces, extra body parts and garbled text. None run longer than 30 seconds. Experts say that format leaves no room for repetition or narrative structure, both essential for young children learning from media.…

Microsoft just turned its AI assistant into someone who actually clocks in. Copilot Tasks, a research preview announced today, stops the chitchat and starts doing multi-step work while you focus on other things. No more generating text you still have to act on. This version books, cancels, unsubscribes, and tracks stuff across the web with its own browser. You describe what needs doing. It figures out the rest. The shift is simple but significant. Chatbots gave us answers. Copilot Tasks aims to give us completed items from the to-do list. Microsoft is letting a small group try it today, with…

Samsung’s bold experiments with radical foldable phone designs, like the ultra-slim flagship Galaxy S25 Edge and its first triple-folding device, may not see a traditional yearly release. An executive has revealed that the company remains uncommitted to launching more insanely pricey smartphones anytime soon. Why the next TriFold isn’t a given During an interview with Bloomberg, Won-Joon Choi, chief operating officer of Samsung’s Mobile Experience Business, said the brand is skeptical about successors for the Galaxy S25 Edge and Galaxy Z TriFold. The sales of these devices lagged behind expectations compared with their more mainstream models like the Galaxy S…

University of Washington researchers built a smartphone app that tracks fetal heart rate as accurately as clinic tools. No extra hardware, no gel, just the phone’s own speaker and microphone. It’s called DopFone. The system plays an 18kHz tone and listens for the echo. A machine learning model estimates the heart rate from subtle shifts in that reflected sound. In a study of 23 pregnant patients, the app landed within about 2 beats per minute of a medical-grade Doppler. That’s well inside the 8 BPM margin doctors accept. The idea is to give more people access to regular fetal monitoring…

Projectors usually fall into one of two buckets: cheap models that look underwhelming the second you turn them on, or premium ones that feel great until you see the price. This deal lands in a very appealing middle ground. The XGIMI HORIZON Ultra is down to $998.98 for a limited time, which is a big drop from $1,699.99. That’s a 41% discount on a projector that’s clearly aimed at people who want a real living-room upgrade, not a toy for occasional use. What you’re getting The HORIZON Ultra is a 4K projector with Dolby Vision, 2300 ISO lumens, and dual…

Apple’s rumored Studio Display refresh is back in the spotlight. While earlier reports suggested the company had two new models in the pipeline, fresh details (via Macworld) now hint at what could actually change. Newly uncovered code and leaks point toward upgrades to ports and speakers, offering the clearest picture yet of how Apple might evolve its pro-focused monitor lineup. Just to refresh your memory, Apple introduced the original Studio Display in 2022 as a 27-inch 5K monitor designed to pair with Macs, featuring a built-in camera, speakers, and Thunderbolt connectivity. While the display has remained a popular choice for…

There is a new Bungie game upon us, and if its previously released Halo and Destiny games are any indication, it’d be quite silly to outright ignore it. I mention that because, unlike Halo and Destiny, understanding what Marathon is attempting to do in the shooter genre is tougher to parse (and easy to ignore as a result). It’s an extraction live-service shooter, a niche variant in a genre that a lot of people turn their noses up to by default. That’s all well and good (and understandable if you already know this isn’t for you), but if you’re interested…
