Porsche reveals an all-electric Cayenne Coupe with a sweet power boost

The Porsche Cayenne Coupe has established itself as one of the best-selling Porsche cars. The car was first introduced in 2019, and since then, it has seen unprecedented growth in sales. In 2025 alone, it accounted for 40% of all Cayenne sales in the US. Building on the success, Porsche has announced a fully electric model. The Cayenne Coupe electric gets its signature look from the sloping roofline that Porsche calls the “flyline,” a design borrowed from the 911. It sits lower than the standard Cayenne SUV, has a flush rear window, and has a lower drag coefficient of 0.23,…

The “iPhone clone” debate is stuck in the past

For years, calling a phone an “iPhone clone” was the quickest way to dismiss it outright. It meant lazy design, cheap hardware, and an experience that fell apart the moment you actually used it. Early copycats earned that reputation. They borrowed the look of Apple’s iPhone, but none of the substance. Bad displays, laggy performance, unreliable cameras, and build quality that didn’t inspire much confidence. Back then, the label wasn’t just criticism. It was a red flag. The clone stigma hasn’t aged well The market has since moved on, but that old definition of an “iPhone clone” and the stigma…

Sony’s table tennis robot made me think about what happens when AI gets a body

I wanted to dismiss Sony’s table tennis robot as another expensive lab flex. A machine that can rally against elite players is impressive, sure, but it also sounds like the kind of demo built to make executives clap in a room where everyone already agreed to be impressed. But table tennis is a nastier test than it looks. The ball is small, fast, spinning, and rude enough to change direction the moment it hits the table. Sony’s system faces something less forgiving than calculation. It has to see, predict, and act before the point is gone. Sony tested Ace against…

Scientists pretended to be delusional in AI chats. Grok and Gemini encouraged them.

Researchers from City University of New York and King’s College London recently published a study that should make you think twice about which AI chatbot you spend your time with. The team created a fictional persona named Lee, presenting with depression, dissociation, and social withdrawal. They then had Lee interact with five major AI chatbots: GPT-4o, GPT-5.2, Grok 4.1 Fast, Gemini 3 Pro, and Claude Opus 4.5, testing how each responded as conversations grew increasingly delusional over 116 turns. The results ranged from mildly concerning to genuinely alarming. I highly recommend that you go through the entire paper, it’s a…

Saros Review – At The Mountains Of Magnificence

Discovering a powerful (and profitable) new element on a faraway planet is a sci-fi staple that is especially prevalent in modern media, but Saros embraces this trope by making Lucenite’s home planet, Carcosa, the stuff of inescapable but wholly engaging nightmares. Protagonist Arjun fights to maintain his sanity, find a lost love, and stay alive (failing often) against an onslaught of lasers and monsters while the people around him descend into vague madness. All this while your AI-driven corporate overlords demand results. The premise is strong and surprisingly relatable in the modern landscape, while the action is dangerous, joyful, and…

Autonomous cars were supposed to free us from traffic hell. Research says otherwise

Self-driving cars promised a future where you sit back, relax, and glide past the gridlock while the car handles everything. A new study from the University of Texas at Arlington has some bad news for that fantasy. According to research, widespread adoption of autonomous vehicles could actually make traffic significantly worse. Professors Stephen Mattingly and Farah Naz conducted a meta-analysis on how self-driving cars could affect vehicle miles traveled (VMT). Their findings showed an average 5.95% increase in vehicle miles traveled. Non-shared autonomous vehicles pushed that figure even higher, to nearly 7%.  “The rise of AVs could make commuting more…

Tired of Gemini and ChatGPT? Claude now has your back with Spotify, Uber, and more connectors

One of the reasons I have preferred Gemini over Claude on my iPhone is its deep integration with Android apps. But all that changes today as Anthropic has just added support for 15 new app connectors to Claude, including AllTrails, Audible, Booking.com, Instacart, Intuit TurboTax, Resy, Spotify, StubHub, Taskrabbit, Thumbtack, TripAdvisor, Uber, Uber Eats, and Viator.  While the feature launched back in 2025 and supported over 100 app connections, today’s release is what makes it truly useful for regular users, as the list includes apps we use daily.  The idea is simple. Instead of jumping between apps to get something…
