Could the next great novel be written by AI (and would you even be able to tell)?

The Guardian

Could the next great novel be written by AI (and would you even be able to tell)? Can you tell which, if any, were AI generated? "The hotel is in a great location for everything. Lots of places to eat and drink. The hotel itself is always abuzz. The tavern located on the ground floor is definitely a must. Food, service, prices and atmosphere were great." "A good hotel, though the room had the proportions of a well-appointed lift.

Are Humanoid Robots Ready to Be Deployed?

The New Yorker

Are Humanoid Robots Ready to Be Deployed? Neo and a dozen other robots with human forms are scheduled to hit the market. "The same robot that can land a backflip might not be able to walk up a flight of stairs," a researcher said. On a recent sunny day in Silicon Valley, I visited the industrial headquarters of 1X Technologies. Security was tight, so I had to put a sticker over my cellphone's camera and talk my way out of signing an N.D.A. before I was brought into an enormous space to meet Neo, the company's home robot. Neo stands five feet six and has no facial features except for two black cameras in place of eyes. The robot is a humanoid--its design is inspired by the human form--and its proportions are a blend of those of the median American male and those of the median American female. But Neo has no skin. Instead, it wears a beige nylon turtleneck bodysuit, gloves, and padded shoes over a see-through carapace. Under that is a skeleton made up of more than a hundred whizzing motors and cordlike artificial tendons that control Neo's limbs. Neo's cozy, minimalist aesthetic allows it to blend into the background. If it served me an espresso at a cafรฉ, I'm not certain I would look up from my phone. The robot weighs just sixty-six pounds, and I was able to pick it up in a bridal carry. It communicates through a speaker in its chest, using several different voices; the default one is in a calm but authoritative masculine register, an A.I.-modulated mixture of several voice actors. Neo can talk, listen, and respond to commands.

The Guardian

The so-called "magnificent seven" - chip maker Nvidia, Google owner Alphabet, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook owner Meta and Tesla - are, for better or worse, increasingly part of the portfolios offered by superannuation funds. The average Australian super portfolio now has an estimated 12% of its investments in AI-related companies due to the massive growth of tech stocks in recent years, experts say.

What to Do in Houston If You're Here for Business (2026)

WIRED

Those new to Space City are often surprised to discover it's one of the country's best dining locales. Here's where to eat, stay, work, and eat some more while visiting Houston for business. Houston has long been known as the energy capital of America, if not the world, but tech has been slowly grinding its way to prominence here, with over 230,000 of the metro area's 7.9 million residents employed in the tech sector. That, of course, only tells part of the story: Techies wind up here to market technology services to companies in the city's bustling oil and gas, health care, and logistics sectors. You may also come to attend a trade show at the sprawling George R. Brown Convention Center. Or find yourself passing through as part of a layover at the massive George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH), a virtually mandatory stop for trips to Central and South America.
