In the time it takes for you to read this sentence, ChatGPT will have processed over 100,000 prompts from around the world. The AI Goliath first launched in 2022, and now sits atop the large language model (LLM) mountain after years of software updates and branding campaigns. While other AI chatbots have since emerged—Google Gemini, Claude, and Grok, to name a few—ChatGPT stands alone. It’s achieved a near Kleenex and Band-Aid status of brand recognition (have you ever asked for a facial tissue or a bandage instead?).Do more with ChatGPTDiscover more ways to add AI to your workflows.Some consumers think ChatGPT…
The first Dune book by Frank Herbert came out in 1965 and changed sci-fi forever, but it was only recently that the book series finally got a decent movie adaptation thanks to director Denis Villeneuve. The first two Dune movies were both really good and really popular. With a third movie on the way, fans are no doubt jonesing for something to help tide them over. If you want a sci-fi movie as dense, deep, and delightful as Dune to watch while you wait, you have lots of options. 2001: A Space Odyssey I’m afraid I can’t not recommend you…

If you’ve ever tried to build an audience, you might have experienced the painful scenario of posting a piece of content you’re particularly proud of and… crickets. As the supply of content increases, accelerated by the introduction of AI content tools, it’s harder than ever to earn attention. However, this also means that the value of attention is increasing, and those who succeed have more leverage than ever before. Famed investor Andrew Wilkinson sums this up well in the following tweet: The good news is that building a new audience isn’t impossible. It just requires a different strategy than before.…
Instagram impressions are no more. However, the idea behind them lives on and should still factor into your Instagram marketing strategy. In 2025, Instagram retired impressions and renamed them “views.” Since Instagram didn’t completely omit this measurement, it clearly serves a purpose. Though most marketers consider Instagram impressions a vanity metric, Instagram views help you understand visibility and how it translates to ROI. Let’s explore the link between views and ROI so you can go beyond the basics and use them to shape your Instagram plan in 2026. What are Instagram impressions?

[Submitted on 20 Nov 2025 (v1), last revised 21 Nov 2025 (this version, v2)] View a PDF of the paper titled Supervised Contrastive Learning for Few-Shot AI-Generated Image Detection and Attribution, by Jaime \’Alvarez Urue\~na and 2 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:The rapid advancement of generative artificial intelligence has enabled the creation of synthetic images that are increasingly indistinguishable from authentic content, posing significant challenges for digital media integrity. This problem is compounded by the accelerated release cycle of novel generative models, which renders traditional detection approaches (reliant on periodic retraining) computationally infeasible and operationally impractical.

Cameo, the app that allows people to buy short videos from celebrities, has won an important victory in its legal battle against OpenAI. On Monday, a federal judge granted the company a temporary restraining order against OpenAI, CNBC reports. Until December 22, the startup is not allowed to use the word “cameo” in relation to any features inside of Sora, its TikTok-like app for creating AI-generated videos. The order covers similar words like “Kameo” and “CameoVideo.”“We are gratified by the court’s decision, which recognizes the need to protect consumers from the confusion that OpenAI has created by using the Cameo…
Serious Eats / Amanda Suarez Red wine–poached pears—poire à la Beaujolaise—are a classic French dessert that’s easy to prepare but elegant enough for a dinner party. Cooking the pears in red wine with cinnamon, cloves, black peppercorns, and star anise infuses the fruit and poaching liquid with a warm, spiced flavor, and reducing the poaching liquid creates a sweet, flavorful glaze to serve the fruit with.
to Randomisation In our day-to-day life, we come across several different phenomena that are totally random. The weather is random: sure, we can forecast and predict the weather, but to a certain degree only. Radioactive decay is also an interesting random process that lacks patterns and predictability. Unlike computers that are deterministic and function the way they are programmed, nature does not require any programming, conditionals, or loops. Things happen in the most random and unpredictable ways, and this is the kind of unpredictability that we also sometimes require in our computers and applications, such as games. We need randomness…
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission is warning that lithium‑ion batteries used in certain e‑bikes made by Rad Power Bikes pose a serious fire hazard that could lead to injury or even death. The agency says the batteries, identified by model numbers RP‑1304 and HL‑RP‑S1304, can unexpectedly ignite or explode, especially if the battery or its harness has been exposed to water or debris.The recall has been marked as a “public health and safety finding” because Rad Power Bikes has declined to offer full replacements or refunds for all consumers, citing financial constraints. CPSC reports 31 incidents of fire involving these…
