š± This AI voice assistant sounds human: Startup Sesame is working on AI thatās nothing like Alexa or Siri. There are two models right now where you can have a full-on conversation naturally, complete with pauses and laughs like a human. Take a sec and try it now. Itās wild.

Weāve all had those texts we want to delete ā from bad jokes and typos, to (gulp) sending something sensitive to the wrong contact. Can you really ever remove a text from your life? Is a deleted text really deleted for good? Itās complicated.
Youāve probably seen the headlines: āAI is coming for all our jobs.ā But instead of you panicking, I did the hard work for you. I tracked down the 290-page Future of Jobs Report 2025 from the World Economic Forum and actually read it.
Thatās where job openings for software engineers on Indeed have dropped. Why? AI. Companies are automating more tasks, and the same tech that makes coders more productive is also undercutting hiring demand. If this is you, time to get new skills.
Yash Shah never thought heād end up in jail. By his own account, he was just a ānormal personā trying to make ends meet. Pick up a package, drop it off. Easy money.
But that āeasy moneyā landed him in a detention center, facing charges for his alleged role in one of the fastest-growing criminal operations in America, which racked up $126 million in losses last year alone. Iām talking about gold bar scams.
The common myth about when running shoes need replacing. Try this instead: Grab the heel with one hand, the toe with the other and twist. If the midsole doesnāt bend and still feels stiff, your shoes are probably good to go (paywall link). What did the sneaker say when it sneezed? A shoe! (Good one!)
Vehicle tracks were found in the U.S., and they might belong to a travois. Thatās a sled-like frame pulled by a person or horse. If thatās the case, humans were wandering America 7,000 years earlier than we thought. Mind blown.
Diabetics on Ozempic, Mounjaro or a similar GLP-1 medication are four times more likely to go blind from NAION. This condition cuts off blood flow to the optic nerve. Using one of these drugs for weight loss? That risk jumps to seven times more likely. No oneās talking about this. Share this with anyone you know taking this medication.
Seniors are struggling with insomnia. Building muscle might help. Researchers looked at 24 trials with 2,045 folks 60 and over. They found strength and resistance training worked almost twice as well as just doing aerobic exercises. Turns out, mixing the two helped even less. Fun fact: People with insomnia are pretty cool. Theyāre up for anything.
Thatās what itāll cost to live next door to Jeff Bezos on Indian Creek Island near Miami Beach, Florida. Sound ridiculous? The lot was actually listed for $200 million in December, so technically, itās a discount.
The hefty price tag of Appleās foldable iPhone in 2027. Itās rumored to open like a book like the Galaxy Z Fold. Youāll see a 7.8-inch screen without any creases and a 5.5-inch outer screen. Touch ID is making a comeback on the side button since Face ID might not fit.
