Bluesky just unveiled a new AI app called Attie, and it does something most social platforms refuse to let you do. It hands you the keys to your own algorithm. You build custom feeds by chatting with Attie like you would any other AI assistant. Tell it what kind of content you want to see, and it creates a personalized timeline on the spot. No coding, no complicated settings. The announcement came over the weekend at the Atmosphere conference, where attendees got first access to the private beta. Attie runs on the AT Protocol, Bluesky’s open social framework. That means…
OpenAI’s AI video generator Sora is officially done, less than a year after it went viral. At first glance, it’s easy to assume the shutdown was about safety concerns or creative backlash. But the real story is far less dramatic. So why did OpenAI actually shut Sora down? According to The Wall Street Journal, the biggest reason behind Sora’s untimely death wasn’t controversy. It came down to economics. The tool was incredibly expensive to run, reportedly costing OpenAI around $1 million per day due to massive compute demands. Generating realistic videos is significantly more resource-intensive than text or images, and…
The cinematic platformer was popularized by the 2010 Xbox Live Arcade game, Limbo (though its roots extend from 1991’s Another World), and as a result, the genre has primarily offered dark and moody experiences with thoughtful, but opaque stories. Darwin’s Paradox sets itself apart in the genre by being colorful, silly, and narratively transparent – think Pixar animated short as opposed to Brothers Quay animated short. The goofy angle and unexpected production values help Darwin feel different, but frequent design annoyances and over reliance on bland stealth gameplay prevent it from rising to the top. Darwin’s Paradox follows the exploits of a…
China has never had trouble making things affordable, and electric vehicles are no exception. Still, $6,200 for a feature-packed EV with 190 miles of range, and, not to mention, exceptionally adorable looks, is enough to turn heads without emptying wallets. Meet the 2026 Wuling Hongguang Mini EV, the car that doesn’t just undercut the competition, but it makes the competition look like it’s robbing you blind. The automaker rolled it out in late March 2026, offering four variants priced between roughly $6,200 and $7,600, before subsidies. What does $6,200 actually buy you? Quite a lot, actually. The 2026 model comes…
AI might be getting impressively good at writing, designing, and even brainstorming. But when it comes to true creativity, humans still have the edge. A new study published in Advanced Science by researchers from the University of Barcelona’s Institute of Neuroscience, along with collaborators from IDIBELL, CVC-UAB, and the Vienna Cognitive Science Hub, argues that AI’s “creativity” isn’t genuine. Instead, it only appears that way on the surface. The research shows that while generative AI can produce outputs that appear creative, it largely recombines patterns from existing data rather than generating truly original ideas. In fact, it suggests AI struggles…
NASA is engaged in the final preparations for the much-anticipated Artemis II mission that will send astronauts toward the moon for the first time in more than five decades. The space agency is targeting 6:24 p.m. ET on Wednesday, April 1, for the launch from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The four crew members — NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, together with CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen — will travel aboard an Orion spacecraft launched by NASA’s formidable SLS (Space Launch System) rocket. After a couple of days in low-Earth orbit checking the…
Smart glasses were already under fire for privacy concerns. But now, there’s a new problem brewing. Cheating. And it’s surprisingly easy. A recent report by Rest of World highlights how AI-powered smart glasses are being used to scan exam questions and display answers directly on the lens, essentially turning them into a real-time cheating tool. In some cases, students are even renting these glasses for as little as $6 a day, using them not just for navigation or translation, but specifically to gain an unfair advantage in exams. How does this even work? It’s a mix of hardware and AI…
Avatar fans, this one’s been a long time coming, and it finally has a release date. Announced in a new trailer at the Evo Awards on Saturday, Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game officially drops on July 2, 2026. The game is coming to pretty much everything, including PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch (including Switch 2), and PC. It’ll launch with 12 playable characters, alongside multiple modes like Story, Arcade, Training, and full online multiplayer with ranked and casual play. As for what kind of game it is, think classic 2D fighter… but with bending. Why does Avatar Legends look so…
Apple’s AI strategy might be taking a very familiar turn, one that made the iPhone what it is today. As per Bloomberg’s recent report, Apple is working on a new “Extensions” system in iOS 27 that would allow third-party AI assistants to plug directly into Siri, including services like Google Gemini and Anthropic’s Claude. More importantly, this won’t just be a hidden setting. Instead, Apple is reportedly planning a dedicated section inside the App Store for these AI integrations, effectively creating a marketplace for AI tools, very similar to how apps are distributed today. What does this actually mean for…
A YouTube channel ran a battery test on two versions of the Galaxy S26. Same phone, same tasks, same conditions, but the only difference was the chip inside. The difference? It turned out to be worth nearly three hours of screen time. Android Addicts conducted a battery test on two Galaxy S26 units side by side: one powered by the Exynos 2600 (available in some Asian markets) and the other by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (available in the United States). How bad is it? The channel performed identical tasks on the phones, including calls, 4K video recording, navigation,…
