Funding grants for new research into AI and mental health
OpenAI is awarding up to $2 million in grants for research at the intersection of AI and mental health. The program supports projects that study real-world risks, benefits, and applications to improve safety and well-being.
Method teaches generative AI models to locate personalized objects
Say a person takes their French Bulldog, Bowser, to the dog park. Identifying Bowser as he plays among the other canines is easy for the dog-owner to do while onsite. But if someone wants to use a generative AI model like GPT-5 to monitor their pet while they are at work, the model could fail at this basic task. Vision-language models like GPT-5 often excel at recognizing general objects, like a dog, but they perform poorly at locating […]

God Is Back from the Dead
In The Gay Science (1882), German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche famously proclaimed the death of God. Recognizing the enormous implications of secularization and the uprooting of Christianity’s “fundamental concept” (faith in God) and the resulting moral confusion, he exclaimed: “God is dead!

Pebble’s founder introduces a $75 AI smart ring for recording brief notes with a press of a button
After rebooting the Pebble smartwatch, founder Eric Migicovsky is expanding his company’s device lineup with a new smart wearable: an AI-powered smart ring known as Index 01. Named for the finger where the ring is meant to be worn, the new $75 ring is not meant to be a competitor to the always-on, always-listening AI devices, like the AI pendant Friend, but instead offers a way to record quick notes and reminders with a press of a button […]
America’s Children Are Unwell, Says NYT—School Choice Should be Part of the Solution.
Colleen Hroncich When millions of children struggle to sit still, focus, and conform to rigid classroom expectations, it’s become an epidemic of ADHD and other disorders. The New York Times is beginning to consider what should have been obvious all along: Maybe the problem isn’t the children. Others, including my colleague Kerry McDonald, have been raising these concerns for years. As Kerry notes, Boston College psychology Professor Peter Gray has described ADHD as a “failure to adapt to […]
