Even the AI companies are tired of talking about AGI
The cringe comes for us all, and for all our hot new turns of phrase. “Rizz” lost its luster when grandparents started asking about its meaning. Teachers who dressed up as “6-7” on Halloween drove a nail into the coffin of Gen Alpha’s rallying cry. And tech CEOs who once trumpeted the quest for “artificial general intelligence,” or AGI, are…

I saw 40 new movies in 2025 and these are my 10 favorites to watch right now
I know my job is to watch new movies and shows, but I made it a goal to watch even more films in 2025. I even went to my first film festival this year to see some movies before they were released in theaters, one of which will even make this list. In retrospect, I picked a pretty good year…

I spent 6 months testing the Merrell Moab Speed 2s — and they’re the perfect lightweight boots for most hikers
I’ve spent six months testing the Merrell Moab Speed 2 hiking boots across a variety of terrain. I live in the countryside, have two dogs and enjoy hiking, so I need boots that can withstand regular and intensive use. And the Speed 2s can. They’re the new, light-ish version of Merrell’s medium-weight Moab boots, designed to be an all-rounder, like…

Billionaires want data centers everywhere, including space
Tech billionaires have been obsessed with space for a long time. Now, as the largest AI companies race to build more data centers in a frenzied pursuit of profitability, space is looking less like a pet project and more like a commercial opportunity. In 2025 alone, six proposals for giant AI data centers needing multiple gigawatts of power — a…

I’ve tested the OnePlus 15R: It’s not the phone I expected
The OnePlus 15R charts an unusual path. Previous phones in OnePlus’ R-series have been simply more accessibly-priced versions of its main numbered flagship phones. But rather than be a cheaper version of the excellent OnePlus 15, the 15R has a whole new focus instead. The 15R is still less expensive than the 15, but not by as much. And while…

The OnePlus 15R’s battery life is unbeatable
The OnePlus 15R’s battery life is exceptional. It’s a smidge better than the very impressive OnePlus 15’s, and the 15R costs two hundred dollars less. So why am I having a hard time recommending it? Typically, OnePlus’ R-series phone is a simplified, less-expensive follow-up to the main flagship — in this case, the OnePlus 15. And technically, yeah, it meets…

10 years later, ‘The Force Awakens’ changed Star Wars for better (and worse)
At the end of Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer,” Cillian Murphy’s J. Robert Oppenheimer visualizes how his creation of the atomic bomb could one day destroy the world. Oppenheimer stares into the abyss, paralyzed by the fear of his decision and torn by the guilt of his actions. I can’t prove it, but I imagine that in the last few years, George…

A vague study on Nazi bots created chaos in the Taylor Swift fan universe
On December 9th, Rolling Stone published a story that some saw as a bombshell: a network of coordinated, “inauthentic” social media accounts had a hand in the weekslong discourse that trailed the release of Taylor Swift’s recent album, The Life of a Showgirl. It was a big deal for those in the Swiftie/anti-Swiftie universe. Immediately following the record’s release in…
