What Is the Best Garmin Watch Right Now? (2026)
We tested Garmin’s GPS-enabled fitness trackers and found the perfect picks for casual hikers, backcountry skiers, and more.
Human creativity still resists automation: Artists rank highest, with unguided AI coming in last
New research confirms it: the creativity of artificial intelligence (AI) is a myth. Although current generative AI models may appear to be autonomous creative agents, analyzing their imaginative process step by step reveals that their creative abilities are not genuine. This is the conclusion of a new study published in Advanced Science and led by …
AI Research Is Getting Harder to Separate From Geopolitics
A policy change announced by NeurIPS, the world’s leading AI research conference, drew widespread backlash from Chinese researchers this week and then was quickly reversed.
Brain-inspired AI hardware helps autonomous devices operate efficiently and independently
The human brain constantly makes decisions. It requires minimal power to move bodies in a desired direction or avoid an object. A Purdue University engineer uses the brain’s efficiency as inspiration to help autonomous vehicles, such as drones and robots, make crucial, time-sensitive decisions while operating in the field.
Anthropic Supply-Chain-Risk Designation Halted by Judge
A judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s designation, clearing the way for Anthropic to keep doing business without the label starting next week.
ChatGPT’s taste for literary nonsense sparks alarm
OpenAI’s GPT models can often be fooled into declaring that “pseudo-literary” nonsense is great, a German researcher has found.
Amazon Spring Sale Deal: The Typhur Dome 2 Air Fryer Is 30% Off
I tested more than 30 air fryers this past year. The Typhur Dome 2 is the one I recommend, and it’s uncommonly cheap right now.
Asking AI to act like an expert can make it less reliable

Pentagon’s ‘Attempt to Cripple’ Anthropic Is Troubling, Judge Says
During a hearing Tuesday, a district court judge questioned the Department of Defense’s motivations for labeling the Claude AI developer a supply-chain risk.
Study finds AI privacy leaks hinge on a few high-impact neural network weights
Researchers have discovered that some of the elements of AI neural networks that contribute to data-privacy vulnerabilities are also key to the performance of those models. The researchers used this new information to develop a technique that better balances performance and privacy protection in these models.
