The REAL Reason Elon Musk's Lawsuit Against OpenAI Just COLLAPSED

On Monday, the jury in Musk v. Altman dealt Elon Musk a major blow—reaching a unanimous advisory verdict that he had sued OpenAI too late and, as a result, his claims are barred by the applicable statutes of limitations. US District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers immediately accepted it.  Musk announced on X that he will…

The Gaming Monitor That Could Make Every Screen You Own Look OBSOLETE

If you just can't choose between refresh rate and resolution, LG's next gaming monitor could solve your problem, as the UltraGear 25G590B monitor is the first one announced that will be capable of a native 1000Hz refresh rate at 1,920 x 1,080 resolution. So far, the 1,000Hz models we've seen have only been capable of 720p at the most, but this 24.5-inch IPS display does not have that limitation, as the company says it's ready for esports competitors (whether they're in an FPS or Excel), who need

Why Software Will NEVER Eat the World After All

Fifteen years ago, tech investor Marc Andreessen published his famous essay, “Why Software Is Eating the World.” He predicted at the time that technology companies were tremendously undervalued, and that low startup costs and almost infinite scalability would lead software-based companies to dominate every industry. You can see what he means. Today, the “Mag 7” stocks dominate the S&P 500 with market capitalizations in the trillions. Even startups like Anthropic and OpenAI are valued at hundreds

Google's AI Is About to Make the Same CATASTROPHIC Mistake Microsoft Did

I actually use the Gemini app quite a bit on my phone, but let’s not get carried away. Gemini has a creep problem. A few years ago, that little sparkle icon started showing up in all of our Google apps. Gemini in your inbox! Gemini in your Google Drive! It was slow at first, and easy enough to tune out, but something has changed in the past few months. Gemini is creeping. It's showing up in all kinds of places at a relentless pace, and personally, it's starting to really cheese me off. The AI

The 5 Decisions That Nearly DESTROYED Apple—By Steve Jobs Himself

After losing a boardroom power struggle with Apple CEO John Sculley, Steve Jobs was exiled to a small building across the street from Apple’s headquarters. It was May 1985. He and his colleagues called his new office “Siberia.” Corporate reports stopped flowing to his desk, and executives stopped calling, leaving him bored and lonely. “It was amazing to see how ostracized he was in the Valley,” recalled Susan Barnes, a Macintosh financial controller who had previously reported to him. “It was re

Why Google's Consultant Strategy Could KILL Enterprise AI Before It Starts

Google recently announced its partnership with Accenture, Deloitte, and McKinsey—backed by a $750 million fund—to speed up enterprise adoption of its tech stack. I believe that rather than accelerating the successful adoption of AI, this partnership will kneecap it—and break down trust in the wider consultancy industry in the process. Why? Because the success of both of these things is premised on trust. Enterprises, having come through a rough period of hype-driven spending on artificial intell

What Xbox Fans Are DEMANDING — And Microsoft Might Actually LISTEN

Microsoft launched a new Xbox Player Voice portal yesterday, aiming to collect feedback from fans and "make it more visible." It certainly hasn't taken long for Xbox fans to make their feedback very clear.

The Robot Vacuum-Mops I Actually RECOMMEND for Every Type of Home

Me and my friends. | Photo: Rose Tuohy / The Verge Inviting a robot vacuum-mop into your life is a big decision. An autonomous floor-cleaning machine roaming your home is equal parts glorious and intrusive. But if it does its job well, you may forgive it for eating your rug tassel, running over your Apple Watch, smearing strawberry jam across your carpet, or chattering to you in Chinese at 3AM — all things that have happened to me in my six years of testing these things. Over that time, I’ve l

Why AI Might NOT Tear Society Apart After All

As large language models seep into everyday life, some worry the technology could trigger a mass political realignment. Chatbots, the theory goes, can be shaped by training data and system instructions to privilege certain worldviews, and users who interact with them daily may gradually absorb those biases at scale. But Dartmouth College political scientist Brendan Nyhan cautions against assuming such a future is inevitable. LLMs may be powerful, he says, but that doesn’t mean they’ll influence

Half of Gen Z Admits AI Is Making Them DUMBER

AI is saving workers more than two hours a day. That sounds like an unqualified win, and in many ways, it is. But beneath the productivity headlines, something more complicated is happening. Employees are getting faster, but some are also getting less confident, less skilled, and less certain they can do their jobs without a machine doing much of the thinking for them. That tension is the defining workforce challenge of 2026, and most companies aren’t prepared to address it. New research from Go

Spotify Just BANNED the AI Podcasts That Were Fooling Everyone

Nintendo Just Reinvented the Genre They Already PERFECTED

In most platforming games, you're fighting against the world around you. You're trying to beat a level, nail a seemingly impossible series of jumps, or defeat a powerful boss. But even though Yoshi and the Mysterious Book uses familiar gameplay - you traverse the world by jumping, climbing, and, uh, eating - it reframes your goal to focus on exploration instead of competition. And in doing so it reimagines the classic side-scrolling platformer as something that feels refreshingly new: laid-back,

America's Deepfakes Crackdown Is Here—And It's MESSY

A law requiring social networks to quickly remove sexual deepfakes and other nonconsensual imagery is now fully in force. But experts warn the policy could do little to help victims - and at worst could facilitate censorship online. Last May, President Donald Trump signed the Take It Down Act, a law addressing nonconsensual intimate imagery (NCII). The law immediately criminalized distributing NCII, whether in the form of real or AI-generated material, something many states at least partially d

Apple Just Made Your iPhone SMARTER in Ways You Can't See

What OpenAI Employees Wrote Down That They'll REGRET Forever

Elon Musk’s loss in his lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI, decided on Monday by a jury and upheld by a judge, wasn’t the only damaging revelation to emerge from the California courtroom.

Sony Just Released Headphones That Cost MORE Than You'd Expect

Ten years ago Sony introduced the MDR-1000X headphones. They combined noise canceling, good sound, design, and comfort in a way that we hadn't quite seen before in a set of wireless headphones. (At the time, the Bose QC35 were the closest competitor, but I wasn't a huge fan of their sound tuning.) The 1000X set off a line of consistently excellent wireless noise-canceling headphones that became the go-to for comparisons - I still have a pair of WH-1000XM4s that hang on the side of my desk.

AI Agents Work Fine, Your WORKFLOW Doesn't

Boards everywhere are saying “we need AI agents.” That pressure moves down the organization fast. Teams build a pilot and achieve good results in a sandbox.

What Musk's Courtroom LOSS Against OpenAI Really Means

Yesterday, a jury in Oakland, California threw out Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI.  Musk had sued the company for over $150 billion in damages, claiming that its leadership had “stolen a charity” when they converted OpenAI from a nonprofit AI lab to a for-profit company. It’s a huge win for OpenAI, to be sure. But although many people will doubtless see this as a vindication of OpenAI’s bizarre corporate structure and breakneck growth, the way the case was resolved actually says almost nothi

It’s graduation week, which means the emissaries of the nation’s elite are now descending onto college campuses to deliver the much-discussed and, they hope, indelibly quotable college commencement address.  These speeches are their own sort of literary genre.
