In June 2025, researchers from the MIT Media Lab published a study called Your Brain on ChatGPT. It looked into a growing concern: is using AI to write for us slowly making our brains less active? The team focused on ChatGPT and how it affects memory, brain activity, and the feeling of ownership when we write. […]

A small Chinese startup has just released a text-to-video model that’s beating Google’s much-hyped Veo 3 across nearly every major benchmark. Meet MiniMax’s Hailuo 02. From physics simulation to prompt accuracy, Hailuo 02 is winning over creators, developers, and the internet at large. And perhaps the most remarkable part? It’s available to everyone for just $8 a month, compared to Veo’s top-tier […]

Pope Leo XIV, the first American pope and successor to the late Pope Francis, has made artificial intelligence (AI) a central concern of his pontificate. In a series of speeches and documents, he warns that AI carries a “shadow of evil,” echoing fears expressed during the Industrial Revolution by his namesake, Pope Leo XIII. Leo […]

On June 18, 2025, AI art platform Midjourney officially entered the AI video generation space with the debut of its first video model, V1. The release introduces an image-to-video (I2V) workflow that transforms still images—either generated within Midjourney or uploaded by users—into short animated clips. Unlike OpenAI’s Sora or Google’s Veo 3, which generate video directly […]

A new Reddit trend is turning the tables on AI—and it’s strangely personal. Across subreddits like r/ChatGPT, users are asking a now-viral prompt: “Make an image that reflects my maturity level based on our chats.” The results? The images range from hilarious to haunting—and they’re weirdly specific. One user got a McDonald’s-themed portrait after casually […]

It started as a trickle—curious users testing ChatGPT with simple questions instead of typing them into Google. A movie recommendation here, a quick explanation there. It felt novel, like a glimpse into the future. Fast forward to 2025, and that trickle has turned into a tidal wave of traffic. AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, […]

For over a century, the Eiffel Tower has stood as an unshakable symbol of elegance, ambition, and Parisian identity. Rising above the Champ de Mars since 1889, it represents an era where engineering began to flirt with art—an iron marvel that once shocked and now seduces. But what if it had been different? What if […]

In a breakthrough paper, Apple researchers reveal the uncomfortable truth about large reasoning models (LRMs): their internal “thought processes” might be nothing more than performative illusions. These are the very models that claim to think step-by-step like humans, thanks to techniques like chain-of-thought prompting, scratchpads, and tool-augmented reflection. And yet, behind the scenes, something far […]

At a time when schools across the U.S. are struggling to raise test scores, reduce stress, and retain good teachers, one private school in Austin, Texas, may have found the blueprint for the future — and it doesn’t involve hiring more staff or extending school hours. Instead, it relies on something far more scalable: artificial intelligence. […]

AI assistants like ChatGPT and Claude seem conversational, responsive, even a little charming. But here’s what most people don’t realize: their behavior isn’t spontaneous. Every word is filtered through a hidden script called a system prompt—a massive behind-the-scenes instruction set that can exceed 6,000 tokens in length. These prompts dictate how the AI behaves, what it’s allowed to […]
