What We Know About the Winter Storm About to Hit the US--and What We Don't

WIRED

What We Know About the Winter Storm About to Hit the US--and What We Don't A huge portion of the United States is going to be hit with snow or freezing rain this weekend. Exactly where, what, and how much remains uncertain. Over the past weekend, when weather models first started forecasting a winter storm that would sweep over large parts of the country, Sean Sublette, a meteorologist living in Virginia, started telling people in his area to prepare for snow . At the time, Sublette says, "a lot of the data started to point to a substantial snow storm for the mid-Atlantic and the Northeast, with significant ice farther southward into Carolina's Tennessee Valley." Then, Sublette woke up Wednesday morning.


The US and China Are Collaborating More Closely on AI Than You Think

WIRED

WIRED analyzed more than 5,000 papers from NeurIPS using OpenAI's Codex to understand the areas where the US and China actually work together on AI research. The US and China are, by many measures, archrivals in the field of artificial intelligence, with companies racing to outdo each other on algorithms, models, and specialized silicon . And yet, the world's AI superpowers still collaborate to a surprising degree when it comes to cutting-edge research. A WIRED analysis of more than 5,000 AI research papers presented last month at the industry's premier conference, Neural Information Processing Systems ( NeurIPS), reveals a significant amount of collaboration between US and Chinese labs. The analysis found that 141 out of the 5,290 total papers (roughly 3 percent) involve collaboration between authors affiliated with US institutions and those affiliated with Chinese ones.


Volvo EX60 SUV preview: 400-mile range, 670 hp and Google Gemini onboard

Engadget

Bungie's Marathon arrives on March 5 How to claim Verizon's $20 outage credit With big power and big range, Volvo's next-gen EV efforts are off to a good start. Volvo hasn't exactly had a great run of EVs lately. The rollout of its flagship EX90 was stymied out of the gate by a bevy of software glitches. The EX30, meanwhile, was too expensive when it launched -- the promised $35,000 model was incompatible with the currently chaotic global tariff situation. Now, it's time for a new generation of EV from Volvo, one that's radically different at its core with a gigacast frame, a much higher-density battery and enough digital and literal horsepower to impress the most jaded of automotive enthusiasts.


It Was Notorious for Getting Things Wrong. Now It's Assisting Your Doctor.

Users Like It or Not, A.I. Is Part of Health Care Now There's a key thing to keep in mind if you ask a chatbot for medical advice. Asking a general-use chatbot for health help used to seem like a shot in the dark--just two years ago, a study found that ChatGPT could diagnose only 2 in 10 pediatric cases correctly. Among Google Gemini's early recommendations were eating one small rock a day and using glue to help cheese stick to pizza . Last year, a nutritionist ended up hospitalized after taking ChatGPT's advice to replace salt in his diet with sodium bromide. Now A.I. companies have begun releasing health-specific chatbots for both consumers and health care professionals.


Amazon Echo Dot Max review: Alexa gets room to stretch

PCWorld

When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission. I spent two months with the Echo Dot Max after many years with the Echo Dot. Here's who should trade up, and who should stand pat. Built for Alexa+ and packed with smart features, the Amazon Echo Dot Max makes for a solid smart-home foundation, but that doesn't mean every Echo Dot owner should automatically move up to it. The first wave of "made for Alexa+" devices has arrived, and among them is Amazon's flagship Echo speaker--the Echo Dot Max, the successor to the earlier, fourth-generation Amazon Echo speaker.


AI's growing thirst for water is becoming a public health risk

Al Jazeera

AI's growing thirst for water is becoming a public health risk "Bubble" is probably the word most associated with "AI" right now, though we are slowly understanding that it is not just an economic time bomb; it also carries significant public health risks. Beyond the release of pollutants, the massive need for clean water by AI data centres can reduce sanitation and exacerbate gastrointestinal illness in nearby communities, placing additional strain on local health infrastructure. AI's energy consumption is massive and increasingly water-dependent Generative AI is artificial intelligence that is able to generate new text, photos, code and more, and it has already infiltrated the lives of most people around the globe. ChatGPT alone is reported to receive around one billion queries in a single day, pointing to huge demand at the individual level. This, however, is only the tip of the iceberg.

Pro-AI Super PACs Are Already All In on the Midterms

WIRED

Silicon Valley's battle against AI regulation is already shaping the next US election cycle. Silicon Valley is already pouring tens of millions of dollars into the midterm elections taking place across the US in 2026, as the tech industry's war over AI regulation moves decisively into American politics. Technology executives, investors, and companies tied to the AI boom are funding a new network of AI-focused super PACS, which is poised to make AI a major issue in this year's state and federal elections races. The election spending marks a sharp escalation of the AI regulation debate that has divided Silicon Valley for years. In the absence of federal action, state lawmakers in New York, California, and Colorado have passed laws in the past year requiring large AI developers to disclose safety practices and assess risks such as algorithmic discrimination.


One in 10 Japanese creatives see income fall due to generative AI

The Japan Times

Cartoonist Mitsuru Yaku (center) and other executives of Freelance League of Japan announces their survey to reporters in Tokyo on Tuesday. More than one in 10 Japanese manga artists, illustrators and other creators say their income fell over the past year due to generative AI, according to a survey released Tuesday by a freelance advocacy group. According to the Freelance League of Japan, which studies working conditions for independent professionals, 12% of respondents reported a decline in earnings linked to generative AI. That includes 9.3% who said income fell by between 10% to 50%, as well as 2.7% who said their income has dropped by more than 50%. Among those who said their income had fallen, respondents cited being asked to accept shorter deadlines and lower fees on the assumption that AI would be used, or losing commissions altogether as clients opted to rely on generative AI instead. In a time of both misinformation and too much information, quality journalism is more crucial than ever.
