That’s straight from the mouth of Rabbit founder Jesse Lyu, who gave the number to Fast Company while explaining that the device had to launch before it was ready in order to beat big tech companies to the punch. That’s a big fall from the moment AI gadgets were having earlier this year. There was tremendous hype around the R1 after its CES debut, and an air of mystery surrounded Humane’s AI Pin before its reveal. Both shipped without any of the futuristic grandeur that was promised. As The Verge’s David Pierce wrote in his review of the R1, “the whole thing just feels broken.” Maybe... Continue reading…

Now, Reuters cites unnamed sources saying that part of the new plan includes providing an unspecified amount of equity to Altman for the first time. It says that in the new structure, OpenAI would proceed as a for-profit benefit corporation, like rival AI company Anthropic. That business would “no longer be... Continue reading…

Credit: Blue Origin Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket hit a significant milestone this week, completing its first second-stage hot fire test that validates the interactions between the subsystems, its two BE-3U engines, and the ground control systems. The test lasted for 15 seconds and allowed the launch operations team to practice launch procedures in the lead-up to New Glenn’s planned November launch. New Glenn is Blue Origin’s big rocket answer to SpaceX when it comes to shooting things into space, but Jeff Bezos’ company has been moving slowly and has only so far conducted tourist flights to suborbital space using its New Shepard rocket. New Glenn was supposed to launch the smallsat ESCAPADE in conjunction with NASA this year as its first mission, but it... Continue reading…

With the iPhone 16 out in the wild, we've finally learned all the secrets of Apple's 2024 lineup. We already have real-life battery tests that show how amazing the iPhone 16 battery life is and why the 16 Pro Max won't necessarily win duels with its main Android rivals.

By Corey J. A. Bradshaw et al./The Conversation Imagine growing up beside the eastern Mediterranean Sea 14,000 years ago. You’re an accomplished sailor of the small watercraft you and your fellow villagers make, and you live off both the sea and the land. But times have been difficult — there just isn’t the same amount of game or fish around as when you were a child. Maybe it’s time to look elsewhere for food.
