Carl Pei, co-founder and CEO of Nothing, is imagining a future beyond the iPhone — and it’s a device powered by AI agents, not running apps. “In terms of AI in software, I think people should understand that apps are going to disappear,” said Pei, whose consumer electronics brand makes unique smartphones and other accessories. “So, if you’re a founder or a startup and your app is like where the core value lies, that will be disrupted whether you like it or not.” Pei made these comments during an interview at the SXSW conference in Austin on Wednesday. The founder…
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was years ahead of the market when he pushed the company to start tinkering with building AI-specific chips back in 2010, more than a decade before the current buzz around AI. A similar move in 2020 — doubling down on data center networking with a strategic acquisition — has led to one of the company’s most lucrative and quickly growing divisions, but with little fanfare. In just a few years, Nvidia’s networking business, designed to connect data centers, has grown into the company’s second-largest revenue driver behind compute. Last quarter, it reported $11 billion in revenue, a…

NEW YORK (AP) — The COVID-19 pandemic’s early death toll was much higher than the official U.S. count, according to a new study that spotlights dramatic disparities in the uncounted deaths.About 840,000 COVID-19 deaths were reported on death certificates in 2020 and 2021. But a group of researchers — using a form of artificial intelligence — estimate that as many as 155,000 unrecognized additional deaths likely occurred in that time outside of hospitals. That would mean about 16% of COVID-19 deaths went uncounted in those years.The overall findings, published Wednesday by the journal Science Advances, were close to estimates from…
Patreon CEO Jack Conte says he’s not anti-AI. He can’t be. “I run a frickin’ tech company,” he told the audience at the SXSW conference in Austin this week. Still, the founder of the creator platform has limits. Conte doesn’t think AI companies should be able to train their models on the work of creators without compensation, calling their decision to dub this “fair use” a “bogus” argument. Conte’s SXSW talk positioned AI as another moment within the ongoing cycle of disruption that creators have been through many times before in the internet age. Like the transition from buying music…

(AP) — The patient in Room 373 refuses to leave.Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare earlier this month sued the patient, saying she has refused to depart her hospital room since being discharged last October. The hospital also has asked a state judge in Tallahassee for an injunction ordering the patient to vacate the hospital room and authorizing the county sheriff’s office to assist if necessary.The hospital said that resources have been diverted from helping other patients because of her occupation of the room.“Defendant’s continued occupancy prevents use of the bed for patients needing acute care,” the hospital said in the…
You’ve more than likely had that moment where you’re sitting with a friend, the conversation is flowing, you’re making each other laugh, maybe even saying something surprisingly insightful. Then someone says it: “We should start a podcast.” Most of the time, that idea fades as quickly as it came. Not because it’s necessarily a bad idea, but because actually making a podcast has always been kind of a pain. Between recording setups, editing software, and promotion, many argue that the barrier to entry is higher than expected. That’s the gap a new platform, Rebel Audio, is trying to close. Rebel…
What’s for dinner? If you’re a Gen Z fitness fan scrolling on social media for meal inspiration, the answer might be “boy kibble.”That’s right, the latest food trend takes inspiration from Fido’s dinner.Much like “slop bowl” and its predecessor “dog bowl,” boy kibble is exactly what it sounds like: a simple one-bowl meal. It’s high-protein, low-carb, relatively cheap and easy to prep ahead of time.The now-viral term has been widely attributed to fitness influencer and bodybuilder Christian “Quadfather” Miles. In a January Instagram reel captioned, “Unseasoned ground beef to reach my primal potential,” Miles holds up a bowl of ground…
