Mustafa Suleyman runs one of the most powerful jobs in technology, and he thinks the work most of us do is about to change for good. As CEO of Microsoft AI, he told the Financial Times in February 2026 that “most” white-collar tasks will be “fully automated by an AI within the next 12 to 18 months,” naming accountants, lawyers, marketers, and project managers as the first in line. It is a striking claim from a man whose team is shipping the very models that could make it true. Suleyman is a DeepMind co-founder, the author of a bestselling book on AI risk, and now the leader of Microsoft’s push […]

Update, July 1, 2026: The hardest example below has partly unwound. The US lifted the export controls on Anthropic’s Fable 5 and Mythos 5 on June 30, and Fable 5 returned globally on July 1; Mythos 5 is back for a set of approved US organizations. The broader shift this article describes has not reversed, GPT-5.6 is still gated and the June 2 executive order still stands, so the government remains in the release path even as these two models come back online. The newest AI models are no longer shipping the moment they are ready. On June 25, 2026, OpenAI agreed to release GPT-5.6 only to a small group […]

Setting up Siri takes about four taps, but the menu moved in 2026. On any iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence, the old “Siri” panel is now called Apple Intelligence & Siri, and the switch you actually flip lives under Talk to Siri. Turn on a voice trigger like “Hey Siri,” train it to your voice in about 30 seconds, and the assistant answers across your whole device, hands-free. This guide covers how to set up Siri everywhere it lives, on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch, with the current menu names so you are not hunting for a panel that no longer exists. You will get the exact turn-on steps, […]

Turning off Siri takes about four taps, but the exact path changed in 2026. On any iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence, the old “Siri” menu is now called Apple Intelligence & Siri, and the switch you actually need is buried under a setting named Talk & Type to Siri. Flip that to Off, disable the side-button shortcut, and Siri stops listening, suggesting, and interrupting across the whole device. This guide covers how to turn off Siri everywhere it lives, across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and AirPods, plus how to kill Siri Suggestions without nuking the whole assistant. You will get the current menu names, a one-glance table for every device, and […]

Learning how to use Siri takes about ten seconds. Say “Siri” or “Hey Siri” and ask, or press a button and speak. The harder part is knowing what to actually say, because Siri can do far more than set a timer. It sends messages, gives directions, runs calculations, controls smart-home gear, translates phrases, and takes actions inside your apps, all hands-free across every Apple device you own. This guide covers how to activate and talk to Siri on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch, a categorized library of the most useful Siri commands, and how to type to Siri when you can’t speak out loud. It also explains what changes […]

Demis Hassabis is the co-founder and CEO of Google DeepMind, a 2024 Nobel laureate in Chemistry, and the man whose lab built Gemini, the AI model now woven through Google Search, Android, and soon a Gemini-powered Siri. Born in London in 1976, he was a chess master at 13 and a video-game designer in his teens before he set out to, in his words, “solve intelligence, and then use it to solve everything else.” Few people have moved that ambition closer to reality. This bio covers everything you are searching for about him, his net worth, his wife and family, his education, the 2024 Nobel Prize for AlphaFold, his knighthood, […]

NotebookLM is Google’s free, source-grounded AI research tool that reads the documents, PDFs, websites, and YouTube videos you upload, then answers your questions, writes summaries, and turns your material into podcasts, videos, mind maps, and study guides. The key difference from ChatGPT or Gemini is that it only uses the sources you give it, and it cites every claim back to the exact passage it came from. That single design choice, source grounding, is why millions of students, researchers, and professionals now trust it with material a general chatbot would happily make up answers about. This guide explains what NotebookLM is in plain terms, what you can actually use it […]

Google Antigravity lets you hand a coding task to a team of AI agents, walk away, and come back to finished work. Instead of typing code line by line with an autocomplete helper, you describe what you want, dispatch several autonomous agents at once, and review what they built. It is free to use during its public preview, runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux, and is powered mainly by Google’s Gemini models. Antigravity first launched in November 2025 and relaunched as Antigravity 2.0 at Google I/O on May 19, 2026, this time as a full platform with a desktop app, a command-line tool, and a developer kit. This guide explains […]

A good free AI photo generator now does most of what people paid for two years ago. The four tools worth opening first are Google Gemini (running the Nano Banana 2 model), Microsoft Copilot, Adobe Firefly, and ChatGPT. Between them you get roughly 20 free images a day from Gemini, unlimited standard-speed images from Microsoft, and commercially safe output from Adobe, all without typing in a card number. The catch is that every free tier hides a different limit, and most “best free” lists never tell you what it actually is. This guide fixes that. We tested the free plans behind the most-searched tools across four jobs, generating images from […]
