For most of our history, we believed empathy was a uniquely human trait – a special ability that set us apart from machines and other animals. But this belief is now being challenged.

Last week, Cuban clashed with congressional progressives after criticizing Lina Khan, chair of the Federal Trade Commission,…

Learn More ChatGPT’s Canvas feature allows users to edit the chatbot’s responses on the app rather than copying and pasting them to a separate document.  However, when Canvas launched in early October for its paid tiers, it didn’t let people see what changes GPT-4o made to its responses.

Learn More If you’re of a certain age, the words “nuclear energy” probably conjure up dystopian images of power plants melting down, glowing radioactive waste, protesters, and other dark scenes ranging from the unfortunate to apocalyptic. The truth is, nuclear power’s reputation has been mostly unfairly blemished since 1970s and ’80s thanks to the Three Mile Island and Chernobyl meltdowns in Pennsylvania and Ukraine (at that time, part of the Soviet Union), respectively.
