- People Are Using AI to Cheat in Job Interviews
“Interviews are NOT real anymore.” So reads the opening caption of a TikTok posted in September, punctuated by the skull-and-crossbones emoji. In the video, a young woman interviews for a job on a video call. She has a smartphone propped up against her laptop screen, so she can read off the responses that an AI app has composed for her: “Um, yeah, so, one of my key strengths is my adaptability.” She’s got a point. Getting generative artificial intelligence to whisper into your ear during a job interview certainly counts as adaptable.More clips from the same alleged job interview give the app a further showcase. “I prioritize clear communication and actively listen,” a woman says in one, as she reads from a phone instead of actively listening. Another such post, which has racked up 5.3 million views, is subtitled “My interviewer thought he caught me using Ai in our LIVE… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.7 days ago - It’s All Catching Up to TeslaNo modern car company is better-known for advancing technology than Tesla. Inside one of Elon Musk’s vehicles, you can stream Netflix on a massive touchscreen while you wait for the car to recharge, then switch to Autopilot on the highway for a hands-free ride home. For a company like Tesla, dumping the AM/FM radio to cut costs does not exactly scream innovation.The radio is just one feature that Tesla has left out of two new cars in the name of affordability. Earlier this week, the company released the Model 3 Standard and Model Y Standard, two long-awaited, less expensive cars that are heavily pared-down versions of the company’s best sellers. The “vegan leather” seats are now partially cloth. The sound system isn’t as nice, and the side-view mirrors now have to be manually folded. Cheaper shock absorbers mean a harsher ride. Compared with their more nicely equipped siblings, these new… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 weeks ago
- The Trumpian Fantasy of WhiteHouse.govLast week, Donald Trump’s White House anticipated the impending government shutdown like an album release, placing a massive countdown clock at the top of WhiteHouse.gov. “Democrat Shutdown Is Imminent,” read the online home of the People’s House, on a black background. Now that the shutdown has happened, a clock is counting upward: “Democrats Have Shut Down the Government,” it says, with numbers climbing to mark the seconds, minutes, hours, and days that have elapsed.This is an unusual use of the White House website. Though WhiteHouse.gov has always been a place to showcase the administration’s agenda, it has mostly looked like the website of a mid-size high school. During the Clinton administration, it had the goofy GeoCities look of the day (American-flag GIFs); by the start of George W. Bush’s presidency, it had transitioned into a bland informational page rendered in blue, white, and gray, clotted with text. (“President Bush Participates… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 weeks ago
- Are You a ‘Heritage American’?In August, a guest on Tucker Carlson’s podcast said something that immediately caught his interest. The United States faces a fundamental rift “between heritage Americans and the new political class,” Auron MacIntyre, a columnist for Blaze Media, argued. “Heritage Americans—what are those?” Carlson asked.“You could find their last names in the Civil War registry,” MacIntyre explained. This ancestry matters, he said, because America is not “a collection of abstract things agreed to in some social contract.” It is a specific set of people who embody an “Anglo-Protestant spirit” and “have a tie to history and to the land.” MacIntyre continued: “If you change the people, you change the culture.” “All true,” Carlson replied.That same phrase—heritage American—has been rippling across the right, particularly on the social web. Politicians have started flirting with the idea as well. During a speech at the Claremont Institute in July, Vice President J. D. Vance said… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 weeks ago
- The Most Reviled Tech CEO in New York Confronts His Haters
If you haven’t already heard of Friend, the company that makes a $129 wearable AI companion—a plastic disk, containing a microphone, on a necklace—you probably also have not seen Friend’s recent ad campaign. Late this past summer, Friend paid $1 million to plaster more than 10,000 white posters throughout the New York City subway system with messages such as I’ll binge the entire series with you.People hate these billboards. Revile them, even. Across the city, the ads are covered in graffiti criticizing the pendant (it doesn’t have eyes, bruh; CRINGE) as well as the idea of AI altogether (AI wouldn’t care if you lived or died); some vandals invite you to befriend a senior citizen instead of a chatbot, or volunteer with a community garden—you will meet cool people! Many of the ads have been ripped and torn. The backlash has grabbed far more attention than the product itself, so… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 weeks ago - Move Fast and Break NothingEvery trip in a self-driving Waymo has the same dangerous moment. The robotaxi can successfully shuttle you to your destination, stopping carefully at every red light and dutifully following the speed limit. But at the very end, you, a flawed human being, will have to place your hand on the door handle, look both ways, and push the door open.From mid-February to mid-August of this year, Waymo’s driverless cars were involved in three collisions that came down to roughly identical circumstances: A passenger flung their door open and hit somebody passing by on a bike or scooter. That’s according to an independent analysis of crash reports the company has disclosed to the government, which found that most of the 45 serious accidents involving Waymos were the fault of other motorists or seemingly an act of God. (In one case, a pickup truck being towed in front of a Waymo came… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.3 weeks ago
