Elon Musk and the online right convinced themselves that Christopher Nolan’s “woke” epic would go down in flames. Now they’re crashing out.

A number of Apple products got more expensive last month, so we’re happy to find deals wherever and whenever we can. If you’re searching for a high-end iPad, one of the more notable deals currently happening is on the 13-inch iPad Pro M5 with 512GB of storage. Normally $1,699, it’s $150 off at Amazon, costing […]

Code found in an iOS 27 beta would allow Apple to put a financed iPhone in "Restricted Mode" if it detects any missed payments, 9to5Mac reports. The finding follows a story from Bloomberg earlier this week claiming Apple is preparing to launch a new "Apple Upgrade" financing program for leasing new devices. iPhones in "Restricted […]

OpenAI made a mistake setting up what it called a “highly isolated” testing environment and sandbox. According to cybersecurity experts, that human mistake is what made the AI-powered attack on Hugging Face possible.

As access to Anthropic’s and OpenAI’s frontier models becomes more restricted, Chinese labs are pitching their open-source alternatives as stable, accessible, and increasingly capable.

Copilot now bills usage at listed API rates. Compare direct model access with the coding workflow, policy, and harness work around it. The post Copilot vs. raw API access: What are you actually paying for? appeared first on The GitHub Blog .

Round and round we go Gaining an advantage in AI design workflow's isn't based on better prompting. It's something we've been doing for decades... First off, this isn’t an "AI is taking my job" post. It’s a "who’s already got an edge?" post. As AI settles into creative workflows, a divide is opening up. Some people consistently get better results. Experience helps, but something deeper is at play... an insight sitting in plain sight. Enter the Art Director I’ve never carried the title, but I’ve worked with enough Art Directors to appreciate their superpower. It isn’t simply seeing the vision... it’s being able to articulate it. They instinctively know how to explain why something isn’t working and what needs to change. They choose words that shape an idea. Words that push, pull, tighten, soften, emphasize, and refine . Think about a typical creative brief. It rarely says, "Make a brochure." It says: "The typography should feel established, but not corporate." "Give the layout room to breathe." "The call-to-action should feel confident, not aggressive." None of those are technical instructions. They're creative direction. Today, the prompt bar is simply a new creative brief. Those same words can guide an AI model to the same destination. Prompt Seekers Lament Sometimes we become prompt seekers, searching for a magical combination of words that will produce perfection on the first try. Anyone in design knows how unrealistic that is. The first concept is rarely the finished concept. Designer presents, client reacts, designer refines, client reacts again... and round you go. Iteration wasn't a workaround. It was the process all along. Yet the trend on X is always some eye-catching image with everyone asking for the "one-and-done" prompt. AI is great at creating options. It's much less impressive at knowing which option is right. Cue the Director Instead of saying, "Something isn't right," an Art Director diagnoses the problem: "The composition is balanced, but the visua

Uber is also investing in Travis Kalanick's company Atoms, which has made gauzy claims about using industrial AI to modernize the world.

Sending a photo feels simple. You choose an image, tap Send, and a few seconds later it appears on someone else's phone. Behind that simple action, however, several things may happen that most people never notice. It Starts on Your Device The photo already exists on your phone before you send it. Depending on your device settings, it may also be part of your gallery or included in local or cloud backups. Before the Photo Is Sent Most messaging apps prepare the image before sending it. They may reduce the file size, create a preview, or optimize it so it can be delivered faster. These steps happen automatically in the background. Sending the Photo If the app supports end-to-end encryption, the photo is encrypted before it leaves your device. This helps protect the image while it is traveling across the internet. After that, the message is routed through the app's delivery infrastructure until it reaches the recipient. After It Arrives Once the recipient opens the photo, it exists on their device. Depending on the app and their settings, it may also be saved to the phone's gallery or included in future backups. At this point, the recipient can also take a screenshot or forward the image to someone else. Encryption protects the photo while it is being transmitted, but it cannot control what happens after the recipient has access to it. Final Thoughts When we send a photo, we often think only about the moment we press Send. In reality, there can be several stages between your device and the recipient, and in some cases, multiple copies of the same image may exist over time. Understanding this process is an important part of understanding digital privacy. While researching these privacy challenges, I started building VeilComm to explore how private communication could give users more control over their data—not just while it's being transmitted, but throughout its entire lifecycle.
