On June 2nd, Asus will formally announce the ROG Ally X, a semi-sequel to its handheld gaming PC with a way bigger battery. We exclusively revealed the broad strokes last Thursday, but I’ve now touched an early engineering sample, too — and I’m pleased to say it’s far more comfortable to hold.
Asus has made a whole bunch of ergonomic changes that make it practically melt into my hands, in the exact way the...

Two branding pros are looking to upend the agency model and take the pain out of the name game.
Mark Liney won’t name the names, but he can’t shake the memory of an unusual brand-naming project that happened at an agency for the company’s biggest client. Writers weren’t included in the budget, so the creative director on the project decided to throw some sheets of paper up on a wall and instructed his team to jot ideas on them on their way to the kitchen or bathroom. At the end of...
The latest demo from OpenAI features two AI bots that sound eerily like humans. Specifically, humans who have read Dale Carnegie.

In a widely viewed demo this week, the company showed off its new flagship model, GPT-4o, with company cofounder and president Greg Brockman putting two generative AI bots in conversation with each other—and asking the pair to sing a song about their...
Nike ISPA’s Metamorph poncho could be in “Dune,” but it’s built for the real world—and it points to what’s next for circular design.
Nike ISPA debuted a new multi-use jacket, and it looks like something straight out of the Dune universe. With its silver hue, gray hood, and armor-like details, the futuristic Nike Metamorph Poncho seems ideal for navigating an alien planet—and, luckily for any intrepid explorers in need of rest, it can also turn into a tent.
In her new book, Bärí A. Williams explores how the tech industry treats Black workers.
Over the years, tech has found another way to pay lip service to diversity while doing little to increase the number of underrepresented minorities, especially Black women, by broadening the definition of diversity so it’s not just about representational diversity but “cognitive diversity” as well. Cognitive diversity is all about the different ways people think or work or learn—how they...
As OpenAI inks content deals with media companies like FT and Axel Springer, some digital news leaders worry about what will happen to smaller media outlets.
With the rise of generative AI, news outlets have been scrambling to figure out how to adapt to the changing technological landscape, placing media organizations into two camps.
Generative AI developers are using the technology for more than just basic chat—and sometimes leaving out the chat interface entirely.
Freeform chat-powered tools like ChatGPT and Midjourney have captured much of the attention paid to generative AI, but increasingly, the technology is being used behind the scenes to breathe new life into a variety of software applications.
"The original is classic, but the remake is masterful."
