A few days ago, Sohail Doshi, founder of Playground AI, wrote a post on X (Twitter) saying he had to fire an engineer named Soham Parekh. The firing happened just one week after hiring him. Soham was working at multiple startups at the same time—without telling anyone. Sohail explained that this wasn’t some new behavior. Even after […]

For decades, futurists have warned of an intelligence explosion—the moment an AI becomes smart enough to redesign itself, triggering runaway gains in capability. The idea, first floated by statistician I. J. Good in 1965, is now back in vogue as researchers pile up concrete demos of self-improving systems. Even Big Tech leaders are starting to circle a […]

Google’s Gemini series has quickly became one of the most ambitious AI projects, directly rivaling OpenAI’s GPT models. Launched initially in December 2023 with the Gemini 1.0 model, Google rapidly evolved this model through series of updates throughout the year. Each version significantly enhanced Google’s capabilities in handling multimodal inputs. The upcoming Gemini 3.0 model, […]

You’ve probably already tried using ChatGPT for homework help. Maybe you asked it to explain a math problem, summarize a chapter, or write a few sentences about the French Revolution. And the result? So vague, so generic, that you’d honestly be better off saying your dog ate your homework. This guide is your fix. It’s […]

You’ve probably already tried writing an essay with ChatGPT. Maybe you asked it for a draft, got something way too formal or robotic back, and then ended up rewriting half of it yourself just to make it usable. The process turns into a back-and-forth guessing game — and the results? You’d have been better off […]

The next evolution in artificial intelligence is almost here. GPT‑5 — developed by OpenAI — is shaping up to be the most capable, intelligent, and multimodal language model to date. In a recent OpenAI podcast, CEO Sam Altman revealed that it is expected to be released “later this summer”. But what exactly should we expect? […]

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 […]
