  Detective Del Spooner had a personal stake in solving the mysterious death of Dr. Alfred Lanning, a genius who co-founded U.S. Robotics (USR) and developed Spooner’s advanced robotic arm after a life-changing accident. When Lanning died under strange circumstances, a pre-recorded hologram specifically summoned Spooner to investigate—but only if he asked the right questions. If not, the hologram coldly responded, “You must ask the right questions.” While this scene from the 2004 sci-fi thriller I, Robot is fictional, the message rings true even outside the world of robotics: asking the right questions is often the key to uncovering meaningful answers. Except—when it comes to AI chatbots, that logic takes on a new twist. With modern AI tools, you can ask anything and receive answers instantly. But when the query is complex, how you ask becomes just as important as what you ask. This is the foundation of prompt engineering , a skill many businesses still overlook. Fortunately, Tech...

  In today’s world of “real-time everything”—calls, code, content, and creation—your tech should boost your momentum, not break it. Those freezes? They're not just annoying; they can be critical, especially for professionals and creators. That’s why Intel’s latest move isn’t just about another processor—it's a whole new era. Picture this: Marvel’s cosmic enforcer Nova isn’t fighting aliens this time. He’s battling a more sinister enemy—a network of rogue AI-native machines powered by next-gen chipsets. They're smarter, faster, and more adaptable. His legendary armor? Lagging. His commands? Sluggish. He needs more than brute strength now. He needs edge computing, lightning-fast bandwidth, and intelligent acceleration. And just when it all seems lost, he crashes into an alien world, discovering a mysterious, humming chip beneath a glowing lake. It fuses with his suit—and suddenly, everything changes. Speed returns. The AI begins to cooperate. He’s not fighting the system; he’...

  The screens are still glowing. Caffeine-fueled minds type away as the final hours of a global AI hackathon tick down. Students from around the world are racing against the clock, pushing their ideas — and the machines helping them — to the edge. In one corner, a team stares anxiously at the screen. GPT-4o is writing code, but the output lacks the finesse they need. It’s powerful, yes — but bloated, pricey, and not quite hitting the mark. One developer mutters, “We need something better.” Then, across the room, a solo coder works quietly. No paywalls. No API quotas. Just a clean UI and swift execution. He’s breezing through web research, code generation, and report writing — and he's not even sweating. A judge notices. “What model are you using?” they ask. “Zhipu’s AutoGLM,” he replies coolly. Suddenly, the room buzzes. People start pulling up benchmarks. MMLU. GSM8K. LiveCodeBench. And to everyone’s surprise, Zhipu’s free, open-source agent is not just keeping up — it’s outperfor...

  Remember those toy bows and arrows from childhood? Some arrows stuck to the target—others didn’t. The ones that stuck had more power. That’s exactly how AI changes the game in cybersecurity: it turns ordinary cyber-attacks into powerful, persistent threats. In this analogy: Cyber-attacks = Arrows AI = Bow Organizations = Target On their own, cyber-attacks can be harmful. But with AI behind them, they become smarter, faster, and harder to detect. These AI-driven attacks adapt in real time, craft convincing content, and exploit even the most secure systems. What Are AI-Powered Attacks? AI-powered attacks leverage technologies like machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP) to breach systems. They generate realistic phishing emails, deepfakes, and malware that mimic human behavior—making traditional security measures less effective. These attacks learn and evolve—just like AI models themselves. Types of AI-Driven Threats Here are key types of AI-powered...

  Remember those age-old sayings like “Be careful what you wish for,” “Be yourself,” or “Be happy with what you have”? If you’ve seen Ruby Sparks (2012), a romantic fantasy film, you’ll understand why those sayings still resonate. In the movie, Calvin Weir-Fields, a young author, writes about his dream girl, Ruby Sparks. Then, in a fantastical twist, Ruby comes to life exactly as he imagined. What starts as a perfect relationship soon spirals as Calvin begins rewriting her behavior, quite literally, by typing changes into his manuscript. The story explores creativity, control, and the consequences of getting everything you wish for. Sounds a bit like modern AI tools, doesn’t it? Particularly OpenAI’s ChatGPT image generator. With just a few lines of text, users can create realistic or artistic images on demand. While it can’t conjure living people (yet), the tool’s capabilities feel just as surreal—and magical. It's a strong reflection of how far generative artificial intelligenc...

  Imagine being able to tweak a tiny decision from your past — sending that message you hesitated on, saying the right word at the right moment, or even making that early Bitcoin investment in 2009. It’s not about time travel but about small, intentional choices that reshape your reality. The 2004 movie The Butterfly Effect explored this idea, where the protagonist Evan Treborn could revisit key moments of his life and make subtle changes that dramatically altered his present. Now, picture how that same concept applies to software development today. Instead of diving into complex code and architecture, you begin with intent. You simply say, “I need a customer dashboard with login, charts, and alerts,” and just like the flap of butterfly wings causing a storm, AI sets the entire system into motion — building the backend, frontend, and everything in between. Sound futuristic? It’s already happening. Welcome to 2025, where coding isn’t just about lines of code — it’s about the vibe. ...
