In a landmark study, OpenAI researchers reveal that large language models will always produce plausible but false outputs, even with perfect data, due to fundamental statistical and computational limits.

I often feel I default to a pessimistic view of things, especially when it comes to technology, but so many of the things we use every day have become so shoddily built and need to be viewed through a critical lens if we ever want them to get better.
I think my favourite new iOS 26 bug is when you switch back to an app you were using previously and it's on a page or view you never navigated to.
It's been two days since iOS 26 was released, and Apple's new Liquid Glass design is even more divisive than expected.

I’m torn on pulling for Orphie and Magus in ZZZ. I love the characters’ design but struggled with them in combat. I feel like I should wait until Yidhari, whose design I like but find less interesting, who might be more my speed in combat.
I had to stop watching Zuckerberg's painful AI demos. Genuinely the worst second-hand embarrassment I've felt in a long time, especially considering they've spent billions of dollars so far and this is the best they can do.
The early iPhone reviews often feel tailored to Apple enthusiasts, but those same people are the ones who already have the phones pre-ordered. Who benefits from these reviews aside from the people making them?
The white Christian nationalist provocateur wasn’t a promoter of civil discourse. He preached hate, bigotry, and division.

This weekend, I took the time to move my site from 11ty to Astro. After some digging, I found that Astro was a better fit for my use case. At the same time, I also moved away from Supabase and now host all items locally, which simplifies the entire process.
I came to this conclusion sometime during quarantine when I realized that certain websites give me a sense of shelter and rest more than others.

Gold trinkets are emblematic of the Apple Intelligence flop era, right when they need to be channeling peak Steve Jobs one-more-thing energy. It's not too late. And if he gets mad, tell him he's holding it wrong.

With this year's lineup, Apple has made the already complicated process of buying an iPhone even more frustrating to navigate. Between different names, colours, sizes, specs, cases, and more, it's harder than ever for the average person to just buy a phone.
While scientists are still trying to figure out why exactly the orcas have it out for boats at sea, some have suggested that it's simply a sign that they're having fun.

After adjusting my TV settings again and tweaking the in-game options, I have Expedition 33 looking okay. I still think there are a ton of issues with the colours and lighting, for example it's sometimes impossible to read the subtitles because of the white text on a bright background, but we're back in it.

The bloom and lighting effects in Expedition 33 make the game almost unplayable for me, even with the settings dialled down. Everything is either too bright or too dark, and there’s just too much visual noise. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll be able to get much further.
Slack’s half-baked AI summaries have lead to some of the most unintentionally funny things I've ever read.
Who is Andrew W.K.? Is Andrew W.K. real? Who is the real Andrew W.K.?

I’m confused why a bigger deal wasn't made out of PlayStation putting Helldivers 2 on Xbox. We never hear the end of Microsoft releasing stuff on Sony hardware.
I will almost certainly not be able to finish Kingdom Come: Deliverance. It's nothing against the game, I just don't know that I have the attention span for another 15 hours of methodical sword fights between sessions of riding around the countryside on horseback.
I will buy an iPhone 17 for the fabric case alone.
It’s a choice in favor of the people who prey on others and who refuse to acknowledge the humanity of those they hate.

A couple of weeks on Android reminded me how dependent on iMessage and FaceTime my family and I are. I was legitimately upset that I couldn't send my kid a message or jump on a video call when he's visiting my parents without him having to download multiple new apps.
As the New York Times reports based on insider sources, Meta has announced internally that it will be splitting its AI division into four separate groups: one focused on research, one on so-called "superintelligence," one on products, and another on infrastructure.

It’s incredible how, nowadays, the natural response to engaging with other people’s “content” online is to look for that sinister angle that must be there to create engagement, conversions, or sales. And I completely understand it, because that’s exactly the level to which we’ve ruined the internet, and it feels like there’s no way back.

Meta hasn't built anything new in over 20 years. They've bought and copied their way to continued relevance. Complete chaos, disorganization, and failure is exactly what people should expect whenever Zuck announces the company's new focus.
The vast majority of the new games that got announced yesterday look so boring and similar. They're all bloody, gross, Souls-like action games or shooters. Seeing them without titles, you'd have a tough time telling them apart.
