(Photo by Matt RAMEY / AFP via Getty Images) | AFP via Getty Images Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang took a call from President Trump on Monday while onstage at the All-In Podcast's All-In Summit. It's not the first time Huang has taken a call from the president during work, but this time he put Trump on speakerphone before a big crowd. During the call, the president launched into his take on recent fears about AI development, which he called a "hoax," and told the crowd that "the robots will not be taking over." It's already a frothy week for AI news. The call with the president followed Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's long essay published this weekend titled "We Must Pace the Frontier" where he argued for slowing …Read the full story at The Verge.

I got a MacBook last year and, as I started using it more for work, Terminal quickly became one of those apps I rarely closed. I initially used it the usual way — type a command, get the result, and move on. But macOS is constantly doing things in the background, and checking on the machine usually means digging through separate apps or opening yet another Terminal tab.

When OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, Google DeepMind cofounder Demis Hassabis, and SpaceX head Elon Musk loosely agreed over the weekend to slow down AI development, skeptics spotted an ulterior motive immediately. The AI titans had declared that their aim was to "pace the frontier," signing on at least partially to a proposal for embedding third-party auditors, regulating domestic labs, and reaching a global slowdown agreement. Their critics, however, argued they simply wanted to stop would-be competitors, kneecap the open-source movement, and avoid real legal safeguards - some dubbed it an outright "cartel." The truth …Read the full story at The Verge.

AI coding tools are getting quite good at building websites, but I wanted to know which current model can nail all the little details that I ask for in a prompt. So I gave Claude Code, Codex, and Google Antigravity the exact same challenge: rebuild a website from the same brief, with no extra hand-holding along the way.

We love buying our SSDs with the big four-digit megabytes-per-second stickers on the packaging, and it's even more rewarding when CrystalDiskInfo shows the same numbers on the desktop. And yet, way too many times, copying or transferring a large folder sometimes starts off like a rocket ship only to end up like a hard drive transfer from 2010.

Every Windows user on the planet has been familiar with the Recycle Bin for years now. Its name itself has led me to believe that it's the final stop for anything I delete from Windows. By and large, I've always assumed that emptying the Recycle Bin meant that the files were gone, with the only exception being specialized recovery software.

Dario Amodei kicked off a flood of statements over the past few days about AI safety by publishing a long essay titled "We Must Pace the Frontier" detailing why AI development should be slowed down. Other AI leaders and politicians are speaking out in favor of or opposing his points, and we've compiled some of them here.Anthropic CEO Dario AmodeiAmodei's Saturday morning essay outlined three steps for pacing AI development: embedded third-party evaluators that can verify if a company is adhering to safety practices and commitments and report incidents, coordination between frontier AI companies in democratic countries on standards and li …Read the full story at The Verge.

The Environmental Protection Agency announced its plans today to kill any remaining standards on how much greenhouse gas pollution power plants are allowed to emit in the US. The move will only make electricity dirtier as AI, electric vehicles, and a revival of domestic manufacturing drive up power demand. The EPA's proposal today is a major escalation of President Donald Trump's efforts to promote fossil fuels while making it easier to build out energy-hungry data centers. Environmental and consumer advocates, meanwhile, are fighting back - arguing that Trump's deregulation spree comes with higher costs for the environment, public health, …Read the full story at The Verge.

Giving up an Adobe subscription used to mean settling for less or accepting some type of compromise somewhere. Perhaps the free replacements had the features but not the polish, or perhaps it was reliable but so ugly that you dreaded opening it. So recommending free alternatives always came with a bunch of caveats, and sometimes still does.

For a long time, Hollywood waged a crusade against motion smoothing, with directors and actors begging consumers to dig into their TV settings and kill Auto Motion, Auto Motion Plus, or Motion Flow to eradicate the sickening hyperreal soap opera effect.

For about a month now, a smart plug and a starter hub have been sitting in my browser tab. The plan was to control a lamp, monitor two doors, and keep everything running while I’m away. I chose Home Assistant for it, and then Samsung said it would start charging $4.99 a month for the SmartThings API.
