When you think about digital natives, the image that often comes to mind is of mouth-breathing Gen Zers trusting all things AI. Truth is, when it comes to money and planning for their future, this generation knows better than to lean solely on chatbots. A new study by the CFA Institute reveals a compelling dynamic

Roleplay has been around forever—whether it’s acting out childhood games, diving into Dungeons & Dragons campaigns, or losing yourself in a good book where you picture yourself as the hero. What’s new, though, is how AI chat apps have completely flipped the script. Instead of relying on other people to play along, you can now

Geoffrey Hinton—often hailed as the “Godfather of AI”—jolted the tech world in Las Vegas, suggesting that Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) could arrive within 5 to 20 years, a major shift from his previous timeframe of 30 to 50 years The Tiger Cub Metaphor: Grow Smart—and Safe Hinton likened advanced AI systems to a tiger cub:

A new report has ignited a spark of optimism, not doom, in Tallahassee’s marketing scene: artificial intelligence isn’t lining up to replace marketers—it’s teaching them a new language. The message is clear: survive, thrive, and succeed. The authors of a coding bootcamp study out of Tallahassee argue that mastering AI isn’t about coding per se,

As developers continue to adopt vibe coding tools to increase efficiency, CIOs may need to rethink their IT budgets. With vendors like Cursor, Claude Code, and Kiro converging on similar pricing tiers, mostly due to infrastructure costs remaining stubbornly high, the era of cheap AI coding assistants appears to be over, at least for now.

The Python-app-distribution problem gets a little less problematic every week, it seems. PyApp and the popular uv utility are two stellar options that didn’t exist two years ago. This week’s report also looks at how to get the most out of free-threaded Python, and we have a video tour of AWS’s new Claude-powered Kiro IDE,
