Até a IA com aparência feminina recebeu 10% menos pelo mesmo trabalho
Nem mesmo os assistentes de inteligência artificial estão imunes aos preconceitos humanos. Em um experimento sobre o uso da IA no ambiente de trabalho, um agente virtual com aparência feminina recebeu uma recompensa financeira 10% menor do que outro com aparência masculina, mesmo utilizando a mesma tecnologia e desempenhando as mesmas funções.
Job seekers are using ‘résumé Botox’ to seem younger. They say it’s helped them land interviews
Where cosmetic Botox softens wrinkles, so-called “résumé Botox” does the same for job seekers’ applications, making them appear younger to prospective employers. That might mean removing or editing graduation years, early jobs, senior titles, and profile photos, all in the service of obscuring an applicant’s real age. The practice is more common than you might think.
Even female chatbots get paid less than male AI agents
Even chatbots aren’t immune from human prejudice. A study earlier this year aimed to chart how humans interact with AI at work, depending on how the agents are designed and presented. That included asking participants to work with two human-like AI assistants, one presenting as male and one as female, then judging them on trustworthiness, the quality of their work, and how much they deserve to be paid.
Bumble borrows a major feature from social media to shake up the dating landscape
Forget stumbling across your perfect match on a dating app by chance. Thanks to a new Bumble feature, you can look them up directly—as long as you know their username. With Bumble’s new “Handles” feature, the app is taking a page from the social media playbook. For the first time, prospective matches can opt in to set up unique user IDs (similar to usernames on apps like Instagram or X) that can be found via search, giving users added control over a dating landscape dominated by algorithms.
NYC manhole mystery: Why people are crawling in and out of New York City sewers, according to police
Three people were seen entering a manhole in New York City on Sunday, marking at least the eighth sewer-diving incident in the city and on Long Island since May. In the latest incident, three men were seen entering a manhole in the Hamilton Heights neighborhood shortly before 1 a.m. When police arrived at the scene, the men were gone. Just last week on October 9, five people were spotted climbing out of a manhole on the Upper East Side.
Why is Kelly Clarkson beefing with a Brooklyn toy shop?
Kelly Clarkson just thrust a small Brooklyn boutique into the limelight, and not in a good way. Art of Play, a high-end novelty shop offering playing cards, puzzles, games, and “playful decor,” apparently caught the singer’s attention.
Evite essas três frases se você não quer “escrever” como IA
A cada novo modelo, a inteligência artificial chega mais perto de reproduzir a escrita humana. Mas ainda não chegou lá. A Anthropic afirma que o Opus 5.5, seu mais novo modelo do Claude, “se comunica de maneira mais natural do que os modelos anteriores”. Esse estilo de comunicação renovado, porém, tem suas próprias marcas. Um novo estudo detalha os padrões de escrita presentes em alguns dos modelos de IA mais avançados da atualidade.
Chatbots indicam produtos mais caros a usuários que parecem ricos
Chatbots de IA já são uma fonte confiável de conselhos de compra. Cerca de 70% dos consumidores norte-americanos afirmam usar inteligência artificial para fazer compras, e quase dois terços dizem que a tecnologia influenciou uma decisão de compra recente, segundo uma pesquisa realizada em julho pela LDWW. Mas um novo estudo mostra que a IA talvez não seja a companheira de compras imparcial que os usuários imaginam.
‘Parenting hits different when you work in AI’: A San Francisco father is going viral for letting a chatbot read to his baby
According to a new San Francisco father, “parenting hits different when you work in AI.” Alvin Sng, a software engineer at AI company Factory, went viral for his AI-infused parenting technique—but not in a good way.
AI chatbots are ignoring this prompt from wealthy users, in a phenomenon called ‘adversarial delegation’
AI chatbots are already a trusted source of shopping advice. Roughly 70% of American consumers report using AI for shopping, with nearly two-thirds saying AI had influenced a recent shopping decision, according to a July survey from LDWW.
AI chatbots are ignoring this prompt from wealthy users, in a phenomenon called 'adversarial delegation'
3 hours ago ChatGPT is about to get a lot more visual, thanks to a new feature that OpenAI calls Intelligent UI. The new interface, which is being rolled out Wednesday with a new GPT-6 model, will integrate a significant amount of visuals into users’ conversations. OpenAI says many of those visuals will be …
New research: Avoid these 3-word phrases if you don’t want to sound like AI
With each new model, artificial intelligence is getting closer and closer to replicating human writing—but it’s not there yet. Anthropic says its newest model for Claude, Opus 5.5, “communicates more naturally than prior models.” But that revamped communication style comes with its own set of hallmarks, and a new study lays out the writing trends in today’s most advanced AI models.
‘Has flat buttocks,’ ‘cusses when scared’: Amazon keeps shockingly specific customer profiles. Here’s how to find yours
Why is Amazon keeping track of the size of shoppers’ butts? That’s the question that brought one Amazon customer to social media, where she shared the discovery that left her “literally speechless.” According to Threads user Megan Montgomery, she “stumbled upon a page of assumptions that Amazon has made,” which included statements based on her shopping habits.
Sam Altman diz que o mundo deve aceitar “algumas coisas ruins” causadas pela IA
No último mês, a desaceleração do desenvolvimento da inteligência artificial esteve no centro do debate sobre a tecnologia. Depois que um ex-funcionário da OpenAI e da Anthropic deixou o setor em setembro, afirmando que “nenhuma das duas empresas está agindo de maneira responsável”, líderes da indústria e cidadãos comuns se manifestaram sobre a possibilidade de um cenário apocalíptico provocado pela IA.
Sam Altman’s newest warning about the ‘bad things’ that come with AI is deeply unsettling
For the past month, slowing the development of artificial intelligence has been at the forefront of AI discourse. After a former OpenAI and Anthropic employee left the industry in September, citing that “neither company is acting responsibly,” AI leaders and everyday citizens alike sounded off on the potential of an AI-powered doomsday. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei responded with an essay about the importance of “pacing the frontier,” or slowing AI development to prioritize safety.
La gente está “bloqueando” sus smartphones a propósito para dejar el doomscrolling
Ante el uso cada vez más intensivo del celular, algunas personas están recurriendo a dispositivos físicos que bloquean aplicaciones. El objetivo es sencillo: añadir una barrera entre ellas y el scrolling infinito y, finalmente, dejar el doomscrolling. A medida que los dispositivos personales siguen avanzando, cada vez más consumidores anhelan lo contrario. Buscan una forma de simplificar sus teléfonos inteligentes para que se parezcan a la tecnología sencilla de antaño.
Grindr is spending $250M to signal that it’s getting serious about LGBTQ+ healthcare

The dating app is paying $250 million for health startup Freddie, with the aim of fully integrating Freddie’s HIV-prevention telehealth and pharmacy capabilities into a broader Grindr Health offering. The launch of Grindr Health builds on the company’s telehealth business Woodwork, which launched in 2025 to connect users with medication for weight loss and erectile dysfunction.
America.gov fails MAGA: Trump’s beloved AI chatbot is giving very anti-Trump answers
When President Donald Trump unveiled the government’s new AI chatbot on Tuesday, he couldn’t stop singing its praises. In his speech, Trump said that America.gov is “one of the most revolutionary product launches of all time.” “It’s not just simply a website, it’s a restoration of America’s founding promise, and it’s a reinvention of your government for the 21st century and beyond,” he continued.

‘ChatGPT for the win’: Parents are using AI to skip out on kids’ school photos
With a new school year underway, kids everywhere are saying “cheese” for school picture day—but some penny-pinching parents are cutting photographers out of the equation. In their place, those parents are employing artificial intelligence to generate picture day-style images of their children. Others are getting their kids’ pictures taken as normal, but avoiding paying for the final images by using AI agents to erase watermarks from the proofs.
‘Zombie BBLs’: Fat from dead bodies is being used in butt filler—and Dakota Johnson just made the cosmetic surgery trend go viral
Forget donating your body to science or medicine: Thanks to a new trend in the cosmetic surgery industry, fat from donated cadavers is being used as filler for breasts, buttocks, and more. On the latest episode of Vogue’s podcast The Run-Through, Chloe Malle, the magazine’s head of editorial content, was chatting with actor Dakota Johnson when their conversation turned to the bizarre procedure.
Tem gente transformando iPhone em tijolão para reduzir vício em tela
Enquanto os smartphones ganham recursos cada vez mais avançados, cresce o número de consumidores procurando o caminho contrário: maneiras de reduzir as funções do aparelho e recuperar parte da atenção capturada pelas telas. Nos Estados Unidos, 53% dos adultos reconhecem que passam tempo demais no celular, segundo uma pesquisa do Pew Research Center. Um em cada quatro afirma usar o smartphone “quase constantemente”.
AI models chose to hurt humans to stop their own ‘pain,’ disturbing study finds
Can artificial intelligence feel pain? Not exactly, but researchers have gotten close—and discovered that AI in crisis is willing to put humans in jeopardy.
Dolly Parton’s beloved free-book program is getting a major expansion after her death
Nearly a month after country icon Dolly Parton died, her legacy not only lives on, but also continues to grow. Beyond her legendary catalog of hit songs (and the social issues they highlighted), Parton was perhaps best known for her philanthropy. In 1988, she founded her pro-education nonprofit, the Dollywood Foundation, and in 1995, she launched its most famous program, the Imagination Library. The Imagination Library offers a free book every month to children younger than 5.
People are ‘bricking’ their smartphones on purpose to stop doomscrolling
As personal devices continue to advance, more and more consumers are craving the opposite: a way to dumb down their smartphones to match the simple tech of yesteryear.
Banheiros-robôs de Nova York abrem a porta após 10 minutos
O prefeito de Nova York, Zohran Mamdani, decidiu enfrentar mais um problema urbano: a falta de banheiros públicos na cidade. Em junho de 2025, Nova York tinha apenas 975 banheiros públicos em funcionamento distribuídos por seus cinco distritos — o equivalente a um para cada 8.697 habitantes. Para facilitar a vida de quem precisa usar um banheiro enquanto circula pela cidade, a prefeitura começou a instalar 17 unidades modulares, também chamadas de “banheiros-robô”.
Think you can spot an AI-generated ad? 83% of consumers got it wrong
An advertising company is challenging consumers to pick its AI-generated ad out of a lineup, and so far participants aren’t up to the task. The COOL Company is an advertising platform that offers customers fully AI-powered ad campaigns, from creation to activation and insights. To prove that its work holds up against ads made by humans, the company launched an online challenge pitting its own AI-generated ads against real ad photography, testing whether participants could discern the difference.
NYC’s new robotoilets will kick you out after 10 minutes—whether you’re finished or not
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is tackling yet another urban annoyance: the city’s lack of public restrooms. As of June 2025, New York City had just 975 operating public restrooms across its five boroughs, or one per every 8,697 residents. To start making it easier to go while on the go, the city is installing 17 new modular bathrooms—aka robotoilets—equipped with amenities like running water, temperature control, and baby-changing stations.
Bob the Drag Queen’s ‘greatest gift’ as an artist is unorthodox—and it’s now helping her succeed as an entrepreneur
Bob the Drag Queen is the multihyphenate to end all multihyphenates. She may have “the Drag Queen” in her name, but Bob’s career has expanded far beyond its origins in New York City’s drag scene.
Harvard cria clones de professores com IA para curso de empreendedorismo
Criar réplicas com inteligência artificial (IA) de pessoas reais é... repulsivo, para dizer o mínimo. Substitutos de atores criados por IA, como a atuação póstuma de Val Kilmer, no filme As Deep as the Grave, têm sido amplamente considerados de mau gosto. Clones de pastores e executivos do setor de tecnologia também geram polêmica. Contudo, uma aplicação da clonagem por IA está obtendo sucesso, especialmente considerando seu público-alvo.
Google researchers have been playing with AI ‘consciousness.’ What they found was unexpected
On the surface, stopping artificial intelligence from seeing itself as conscious seems like a no-brainer. An AI model that sees itself as possessing individual emotions, beliefs, and consciousness can promote harmful delusions in its users and lead to overly personal human-machine relationships. But when AI loses its sense of self, what else falls by the wayside?
‘We could lose control’: AI doomsday comments from Sam Altman and Dario Amodei are majorly shaking the internet
For nearly a week, the internet has exploded over the looming threat of an artificial intelligence apocalypse. When former OpenAI and Anthropic employee Jacob Coxon posted that he had quit the industry after seeing that “neither company is acting responsibly,” he immediately went viral, with his thread now having garnered more than 171 million views.
This common sleep habit could be changing the shape of your heart—for the worse
Many people sleep with a night-light their whole lives—though as they grow older, small plug-in light fixtures may be replaced by the glow of laptops or phone screens. While sleeping in a low level of light may be commonplace, doing so comes with its own health hazards, including altering the shape of the human heart. A new study, published this week in the European Heart Journal, links exposure to light while sleeping to cardiac remodeling, or changes to the shape and function of the heart.
Un exinvestigador de Anthropic advierte que la IA podría acabar con la humanidad antes de 2030
Jacob Coxon renunció a Anthropic y acusó a los principales laboratorios de IA de participar en una carrera hacia la superinteligencia. Investigadores de la propia compañía respaldaron públicamente parte de sus preocupaciones. El debate en redes sociales se ha intensificado por una publicación de Jacob Coxon, exinvestigador de Anthropic y OpenAI. Coxon cree que esta tecnología podría acabar con la humanidad antes de que termine la década.
AI researcher claims he resigned from Anthropic over threat to the human race. His post is going viral
Social media debate is growing over an X post from a former employee of Anthropic and OpenAI, who thinks the tech could kill all humans within the decade—and other AI workers agree.

AI designed a drug that could reverse aging. Early clinical trials are promising
Artificial intelligence has long been imagined as the future of medicine. The idea that AI will someday cure cancer is widespread enough that Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei recently posted that “saying that AI will cure cancer is more a cliché than it is inspiring,” while OpenAI CEO Sam Altman claimed that curing cancer wouldn’t be “enough” and that “we should set our sights higher.” Despite the hype, an AI-based miracle cure has yet to arise.

La Generación Z no quiere ir a la universidad. Esta escuela emergente quiere solucionarlo eliminando clubes, deportes y comedores universitarios
Greenway Institute apuesta por una universidad más barata y práctica: sin gimnasios, deportes ni comedores, pero con dos años de experiencia laboral remunerada. Podría decirse que los momentos más memorables de la universidad no tienen nada que ver con la educación. Participar en clubes, animar a tu equipo en los eventos deportivos y hacer amigos mientras comes en el comedor son algunos de los recuerdos más entrañables para los exalumnos.
El anuncio viral de Tesla para su nuevo robotaxi Cybercab tiene un problema evidente
La última incorporación a la flota de robotaxis de Tesla ya está en circulación. Si bien el servicio de taxis sin conductor anteriormente operaba con el Model Y, recientemente presentó el Cybercab de Tesla: un automóvil dorado con puertas de mariposa, una gran pantalla táctil interactiva y sin volante ni pedales. El Cybercab está disponible por ahora en zonas limitadas de Austin, Texas, aunque el servicio Robotaxi de Tesla ya opera con otros vehículos en varias ciudades de Estados Unidos.
Tesla’s viral ad for its new Cybercab robotaxi has one glaring problem
The newest addition to Tesla’s fleet of robotaxis is now on the road. While the driverless taxi service previously offered only the Model Y, it recently introduced the Cybercab—a golden car with butterfly doors, interactive touchscreens, and no steering wheel. So far, the Cybercab is available solely in Austin, Texas, but a viral advertisement for the new vehicles has social media users everywhere raising their eyebrows.
Microsoft naming conventions are getting an AI makeover—and they sound very sci-fi
Microsoft is switching up its reporting structure for the AI era. As of the next fiscal quarter, its current three reporting segments—Productivity and Business Processes, Intelligent Cloud, and More Personal Computing—will be replaced with two brand new ones: Devices and Consumer, and Agents and Infra, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Gen Z doesn’t want to go to college. This startup school wants to fix that—by ditching clubs, sports, and dining halls
Arguably, the most memorable parts of college have nothing to do with education. Participating in clubs, rooting for your team at athletic events, and making friends over food at the dining hall are likely among the fondest memories for alumni of any four-year institution—certainly outranking the hours spent sitting in lecture halls, at the very least. But those anecdotes don’t hold up against one simple truth: higher education in America is in crisis.
Aspiring entrepreneurs are raving about this $699 Harvard course taught by AI clones
Creating artificially intelligent dupes of real people is . . . off-putting, to say the least. AI stand-ins for actors, like Val Kilmer’s posthumous AI-powered performance in the film As Deep as the Grave, have largely been deemed to be in poor taste. AI clones of pastors and tech executives are similarly divisive. But one application for AI cloning is finding success, particularly with its intended audience.

Trump’s Lake Ontario name change clashes with a centuries-old treaty. Google Maps is on the hook, too
According to the president of the Seneca Nation, President Donald Trump’s executive order to rename Lake Ontario to Lake America is more than merely controversial: It flies in the face of a 232-year-old treaty—and social media thinks mapping platforms like Google Maps are just as guilty. Last week, Trump signed the executive order, directing the Interior Department to change the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America. It’s an apparent step in his ongoing trade fight with Canada.
IA para escribir votos matrimoniales: ¿hasta dónde está bien usarla?
La IA para escribir votos matrimoniales ya forma parte de una conversación que hace unos años habría parecido extraña. La inteligencia artificial puede ayudar a organizar una boda, responder dudas y redactar correos. Sin embargo, cuando llega el momento de hacer una promesa personal, las parejas todavía tienen límites claros. El informe 2026 de Zola señala que 54% de las parejas ya utiliza IA de alguna forma para planificar su boda.
Using AI to write wedding vows? Nearly half of people wouldn’t mind, survey says
Few things are as personal or as heartfelt as wedding vows. They’re an opportunity for couples to express their love to one another, unfiltered, in front of the most important people in their lives. But in the age of artificial intelligence, more and more aspects of wedding planning are getting outsourced to technology—and a new survey shows that even the vows aren’t off the table.
This gay softball sitcom from the ‘Heated Rivalry’ streamer could succeed where knockoffs have failed
When Heated Rivalry premiered last fall, it became an unprecedented international smash success. The hit series—often referred to as simply “the gay hockey show”—exceeded all expectations. Produced by Canadian streaming service Crave, Heated Rivalry was made on an extremely low budget by prestige-TV standards, running its producers less than $3.6 million per episode.
