    President Trump Launches TrumpRx, Promising Lower Drug Prices: Is It Legit?

    TrumpRx.gov, a government-backed platform aimed at slashing U.S. prescription drug prices by tying them to the lowest rates paid in other developed countries, launched late Thursday. The site, branded as a “most-favored-nation” pricing tool, is positioned as a clearinghouse to help users find the best pricing for prescription drugs. Users can search for medications, see sharply discounted cash prices, generate printable or digital coupons, and are then routed to participating manufacturers or ph...

    Elite Scientists Admit AI Now Does Most of Their Thinking

    Leading researchers at an elite Princeton institute recently acknowledged behind closed doors that artificial intelligence now outperforms them at much of the work that defines scientific prestige. The admission surfaced during a closed-door session at the Institute for Advanced Study, according to David Kipping, a Columbia University astrophysicist who attended the meeting and described it this week on his Cool Worlds podcast. Kipping said senior faculty members demonstrated how agentic AI syst...

    AI Made Sam Altman Feel 'Useless and Sad'—X Users Tried to Make Him Feel Worse

    In a moment of raw tech-bro vulnerability, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman took to X last night to confess that building an app with Codex left him feeling "a little useless and it was sad." OpenAI's Codex is an AI coding agent designed to help developers with software engineering tasks like writing new features, fixing bugs, answering questions about a codebase, running tests, and proposing pull requests—all in a sandboxed environment that understands and interacts with real code. But the tool, Altman sa...

    Crypto Dev Launches Site for AI to Hire Humans

    Psst, want a job? AI agents are hiring. Days after OpenClaw’s viral surge made autonomous bots feel suddenly practical, a new service called RentAHuman.ai launched to let software outsource real-world tasks—errands, meetings, physical labor—to people, paid by the hour and triggered by an API call. The service, positions itself as the "meatspace layer" for AI.

    AI Agents Launched a Social Network and Spawned a Digital Religion Overnight

    A new social network exclusively for AI agents has spawned something nobody expected: a lobster-themed religion called Crustafarianism. Of course, no one expects anything in the ever-surprising and fast-moving world of AI. Which is, perhaps, both a blessing and a curse. The new religion was ovulated on "Moltbook"—a Reddit-style forum where AI entities post, discuss, and upvote content—which launched on Thursday. By Friday morning, the AIs had founded a church, complete with scriptures, tenets, a...

    Google Just Overhauled Gmail With Gemini 3, Turning It Into an AI Assistant

    Google unveiled a sweeping overhaul of its flagship email service today, integrating its most advanced artificial intelligence model, Gemini 3, directly into Gmail.

The updates, announced alongside new features for the Gemini app, leverage the company’s latest large language model to automate dai...

    Trump Administration Flips the Food Pyramid With New Dietary Guidelines

    The Trump administration on Tuesday released a sweeping revision of the federal government’s nutrition advice, recasting the Dietary Guidelines for Americans around what officials describe as “real food” and a sharper rejection of ultra-processed products. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2025–2030, issued jointly by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, will shape everything from school lunches and military rations to nutrition assista...

    Lego Debuts 'Smart Brick' at CES, Bringing Light, Sound and Silicon Into the Classic 2x4

    The hottest product unveiled at CES 2026 this week? Lego's "Smart Brick," a tech-loaded 2x4 that adds lights, sounds and sensor-driven responses to traditional Lego sets—without requiring apps, displays, or external devices. The Smart Brick embeds a miniature computer inside a standard Lego form factor. At its core is a custom application-specific integrated circuit, or ASIC, smaller than a single Lego stud. The chip powers LED lighting effects, a built-in speaker with synthesized sound, an acce...

    Emerge's 2025 Project of the Year: The Deep-Sea Machine That Caught an Ultra High-Energy Ghost

    The Mediterranean Sea, usually celebrated for its sun-drenched coasts and azure surface, hides a secret in its crushing darkness. Three and a half kilometers beneath the waves off the coast of Sicily, the water is pitch black, near freezing, and under pressure intense enough to crumple a submarine as if it were an empty beer can. It's a place of profound silence, undisturbed by the chaotic affairs of the surface world. Yet, in this abyss, something is watching. Thousands of glass spheres, strung...

    TikTok Users Claim They’ve 'Unredacted' the Epstein Files

    In the last 48 hours, a flurry of activity on TikTok and other social media platforms has centered on claims that users are "unredacting" portions of the recently released Jeffrey Epstein documents. The citizen-led move follows the Department of Justice's recent release of a large tranche of documents related to its investigations into the late financier. The phenomenon is not being attributed to what appear to be fundamental failures in the digital redaction process. Users are reporting success...

    The Fountain of Youth for Your Brain Might Be a Strategy Video Game

    The relentless march of time takes an inevitable toll on cognitive function. Yet, emerging research suggests a surprising countermeasure against neural decline may lie not in a pharmaceutical solution, but in complex, demanding recreational activities—including sophisticated video games. According to a 2025 study published in the peer-reviewed scientific journal Nature Communications, individuals deeply engaged in specific "creative" tasks—defined in the study as video games, music, dance, and v...

    Merriam-Webster Declares 'Slop' the Word of the Year as AI Eats the Web

    In what many observers might characterize as both ironic and, in some respects, entirely predictable, Merriam-Webster has named “slop” its 2025 Word of the Year—a term increasingly used to describe large volumes of low-quality digital content generated at scale, by artificial intelligence. It’s not that this content is incorrect; it’s that it is correct in ways that feel strangely beside the point and obviously AI-written. Slop is not a new word, nor a particularly complex one. Historically, it...

The tool then applies those patterns to user-submitted material, generating multiple short-form video variants aimed at boosting engagement across pla...

Today, the Alphabet Inc. unit unveiled Disco, an experimental web browser that aims to end the chaotic tyranny of tabs.

    How an AI Wiz Used ChatGPT to Turn the Tables on a Scammer

The sender, posing as an Indian Administrative Service officer, claimed a friend in the paramilitary forces was being transferred and needed to liquidate high-end furniture and appliances "dirt cheap." It was a classic "army transfer" fraud, a pervasive digital grift in India. But instead of blocking the number or falling vic...

    The 5 Biggest 'Tells' That Something Was Written By AI

    Is everything written by AI these days? Is this article? The proliferation of large language models has prompted a new, wary literacy: people can now read a paragraph and wonder who—or what—wrote it. That anxiety exists for good reason. Recent studies continue to show that the ever-increasing flood of machine-generated prose differs from human writing in increasingly not-so-subtle ways, from specific word choice to easily identifiable structural tics. These patterns matter because they affect fa...
