Anthropic’s AI assistant has guardrails that frustrate some users—but they expose a deeper debate about what AI should become When Sarah Chen, a Bengali literature professor, asked Claude to help transcribe a traditional folk song into Bengali script, she expected a quick assist. Instead, she got a polite
In the spring of 2021, a team of researchers at the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences published a study that should have surprised no one, yet somehow managed to upend everything we thought we knew about social media. They analyzed more than 100 million pieces of content across
We live in an era of endless negotiation. Trade deals, business mergers, political standoffs, workplace conflicts—hardly a day passes without someone, somewhere, trumpeting their superior negotiating prowess. President Trump reminds us of his deal-making genius with metronomic regularity. CEOs write books about crushing it at the bargaining table. Podcasts
Artificial Intelligence has become the invisible backbone of modern startups, quietly revolutionizing how young companies build, scale, and compete. Gone are the days when AI was a luxury reserved for tech giants with sprawling research divisions. Today's founders are weaving AI into every corner of their operations, from
When everyone can build v1 in a day, the winner is whoever reaches v100 first. The limiting factor isn't the engineers anymore—it's everything else.
What if the key to startup success was hiding in plain sight in a physics equation we all learned in high school? Picture this: It's 3 AM, and you're hunched over your laptop in a cramped apartment, surviving on instant ramen and sheer willpower. Your brilliant
Silicon Valley promised us robot butlers. Instead, we got digital employees that eat electricity and cost more than their flesh-and-blood counterparts. The math doesn't add up—and that's exactly the point. In a gleaming server farm somewhere in Northern California, thousands of GPUs are burning through
It was supposed to be the dawn of a new era. When GPT-5 arrived, the headlines promised brilliance: faster thinking, deeper reasoning, flawless memory, and the kind of autonomy that could turn a chatbot into a trusted partner. But within weeks, the AI community was split. Some marveled at its
The summer of 2025 has marked a pivotal moment in the artificial intelligence landscape with the near-simultaneous release of OpenAI's GPT-5 on August 7, 2025, and Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.1 on August 5, 2025. These new models represent significant advancements, promising to redefine human-computer interaction
Is AI a super power for you or it has become a poison pill that will slowly eat away your job?
AI agents now account for 51% of web traffic, fundamentally changing how websites are consumed. The rise of voice interaction and AI assistants means developers must optimize sites for machine parsing.
While 78% of organizations now use AI technologies, 94.8% of websites fail basic accessibility standards, with 70% of new AI chatbots creating significant barriers for users with disabilities.
