A recent study by Graphite reveals a significant shift in online content creation: most newly published articles are now generated by artificial intelligence rather than humans. Analyzing 65,000 English-language URLs from the Common Crawl archive, researchers found that AI-generated content surpassed the 50% mark of new web articles in November last year. While the proportion has plateaued in recent months, the data highlights a dramatic transformation in how information is produced online. Despite the surge in AI-authored articles, human-written content still dominates search engine visibility and reader engagement. This study underscores the growing role of AI in digital publishing while…

Instagram is introducing new safety features that give parents greater control over their teens’ interactions with AI characters on the platform. Announced by parent company Meta, these updates aim to address growing concerns about how AI chatbots may affect teen mental health and online safety. Starting early next year, parents will be able to block access to specific AI characters or entirely restrict their teens from chatting with AI. In addition, they will gain insights into the types of conversations their children are having with these virtual personas. The move aligns with broader efforts across the tech industry to provide…

I transformed my Windows 10 laptop into a Chromebook and you can too. With Windows 10 nearing end-of-support, many laptops face retirement, but you don’t have to let yours sit idle. Google’s ChromeOS Flex brings new life to older laptops, offering most of the same features as standard Chromebooks. It’s a cost-effective way to explore the Chrome ecosystem without buying a new device. For this guide, I’m using a 2017 Xiaomi Mi Laptop Air 13.3, still functional but ineligible for Windows 11. While high-end tasks like gaming or video editing won’t be ideal, I mainly use this laptop for Chrome…

An AI framework now solves complex physics equations in seconds, transforming how scientists study material behavior. Researchers at the University of New Mexico and Los Alamos National Laboratory developed the Tensors for High-dimensional Object Representation (THOR) AI system, which tackles a problem that has stumped statistical physicists for decades. THOR combines tensor network algorithms with machine learning to efficiently compress and analyze massive configurational integrals and partial differential equations—key for predicting how materials respond to various thermodynamic and mechanical conditions. This approach enables accurate, scalable simulations across diverse physical environments. “Evaluating the configurational integral, which describes particle interactions, is notoriously…
