Read original →OpenAI cofounder Greg Brockman stated that ChatGPT's 2023 plugins failed because 'the models weren't ready,' and he envisions a future with 'almost no interface' where context-aware AI agents operate invisibly without requiring users to learn software. This signals OpenAI's strategic pivot from plugin-based extensibility to autonomous agents, reshaping expectations for AI-human interaction and reducing friction for enterprise adoption.
Read original →Atomic Semi, founded by chip architect Jim Keller and DIY fabrication pioneer Sam Zeloof, rebranded as Fab2 to emphasize its role as a 'fab fab'—a factory designed to mass-produce small semiconductor fabrication facilities. This startup addresses semiconductor manufacturing bottlenecks by decentralizing fab production, potentially lowering barriers to chip manufacturing and distributing supply chain risk.

Read original →A study of more than 26,000 Chinese students found that AI users finished homework faster and scored higher but performed up to 24 percent worse on exams. The full impact on entrance exam results took about two years to show up, meaning short-term studies systematically underestimate the damage.

Read original →The Matic is our favorite robot vacuum by a pretty comfortable margin. If you’ve been thinking about buying one, you may want to plan on doing it sooner than later. The company will raise its price by $250 on September 9th, going from $1,245 to $1,495. Matic told The Verge that the new price reflects its rising costs for memory and other components for the vacuum, which it says are now tenfold. Those who buy one directly from the company will get a year’s worth of replacement bags worth $96 at no extra cost. Each refill contains 12 bags, and they ship for free. Additionally, Matic has increased their return policy from 60 days to six months. Matic A different kind of robot vacuum and mop, Matic reinvents the floor cleaning machine. Where to Buy: $1245 at Matic Our reviewer Jennifer Pattison Tuohy praised the Matic’s “human-like navigation,” noting in her review that it got stuck only twice during six months of use. In her cluttered (Jen’s words, not mine), three-story home with pets, thick rugs, and high transitions, it handled difficult layouts with ease while delivering powerful suction and a great self-cleaning roller mop. It’ll continue vacuuming even if its water tank runs dry, and it’s quiet enough to let it run without becoming a distraction if you work from home. It also requires very little maintenance. Rather than relying on a big multifunction dock, it carries its own water tank and stores dirty water in a disposable bag, so you’ll only need to empty and clean its dirty water reservoir. It even drives itself to the sink when it needs more water. Unlike many competing robot vacuums, it can also operate entirely offline, with maps and other data stored locally instead of in the cloud.

He's toured the world, performed on Kimmel and Fallon, played Coachella, and collaborated with everyone from Joey Bada$$ and the Rza to James Blake and hardcore punk band Trash Talk. But perhaps the most unexpected collab was with Apple, when Erick popped up following Tim Cook's final WWDC presentation to rap about apps. That was just a precursor to him dropping his new disco and reggae-tinged single, "No Doubt (I'm In Love)." The new track, produced by Yeti Beats and Federico Vindver, is definitely a shift in tone from the darker, gri … Read the full story at The Verge.
