Illustration: The Verge If you’re not familiar with Google Flights, you may not realize that you’re not always seeing the cheapest flights in your search results. The default algorithm considers numerous other factors, such as trip length, stops, and travel times. It was, admittedly, easy enough to expand the results and view the full flight list before now, but Google is introducing a change that brings a new “Cheapest” tab that will sort all your flight options based purely on price. Google Flights will build itineraries that include long layovers or mixed and matched flights from different travel agencies, airlines, and nearby cities in order to show you the absolute cheapest options. If you like what you see, it’ll direct you to the appropriate websites... Continue reading…

That’s what Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei laid out for us on Friday in more than 14,000 words: otherworldly ways in which artificial general intelligence (AGI, though he prefers to call it “powerful AI”) will change our lives. In the blog, titled “Machines of Loving Grace,” he envisions a future where AI could compress 100 years of medical progress into a decade, cure mental illnesses like PTSD and depression, upload your mind to the cloud, and alleviate poverty. At the same time, it’s reported that Anthropic is hoping to raise fresh funds at a $40 billion valuation. Today’s AI can do exactly none of what Amodei imagines. It will take, by his own admission, h... Continue reading…

Hosts are also able to choose from a range of payout options for their co-hosts, such as a cleaning fee, a percentage per booking, or a fixed amount. Airbnb has been piloting a co-hosting hiring service for “several years,” Skift reports, but... Continue reading…

Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Two days after Google cut a “world’s first” deal to purchase electricity from advanced nuclear reactors, Amazon announced three new agreements of its own today. Each deal supports the development of small modular reactors (SMRs), which can be one-tenth to one-quarter the size of a traditional nuclear power plant. If these projects make it to the finish line, SMRs would be a source of carbon pollution-free energy for big tech companies trying to salvage their climate goals by turning to nuclear energy. Each deal supports the development of small modular reactors Amazon signed an agreement with Energy Northwest, a consortium of public utilities in Washington state, to “enable the development” of four SMRs by the early 2030s.

The post-Cold War promise of a world without nuclear war is fading, according to a new report from The Wall Street Journal.

The Biden administration's FBI reportedly altered its 2022 crime statistics to show an increase in violent crime after initially claiming a decrease.

Ryan Seacrest has been in the news since he had his hosting debuted on Wheel of Fortune. The 49-year-old is still growing into his new role, and he has received a lot of backlash from fans who are quick to compare him with the former co-host, Pat Sajak. It seems Ryan has grown a thick skin. He is focused on improvement, and he is not responding to any of the comments from fans, nor has he been weighed down by them. Since taking over the hosting duties, Ryan has managed to improve the show’s ratings, and now he is ready to move forward with his latest plan.
