A new Gartner study says 80% of companies deploying AI reported workforce reductions, yet those cuts did not appear to translate into stronger returns on investment.

Tune into live broadcasts from your Windows desktop with Trdo, a free and open-source application. I may be old-fashioned, but I prefer actual radio stations to Spotify's algorithms. The best human DJs find music I'd never seek out, and that even the best recommendation system would never point out to me. Even better: If you're good at finding community and public radio stations that appeal to your tastes, there are no commercials. I've found several of my favorite bands in the past few years listening to radio stations like KEXP, Indie XFM, and the various stations offered by SomaFM . It's simple to listen to such stations in your browser, but leaving a tab open just for the radio annoys me.

The delay reportedly came after pressure from big tech leaders. President Trump has postponed the signing an executive order around government AI oversight, CNN reported, saying he didn't like certain aspects of it. Originally, the order would have compelled AI companies to share advanced models with the government ahead of launch to ensure their safety, but it was later watered down to make tech company participation voluntary. The delay reportedly came about due to last-minute pressure from AI industry leaders, including Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, along with former US AI and crypto czar David Sacks. They told Trump that the new system could slow development of AI tech that has become integral to the US economy, anonymous insiders told .

Fans react to Stephen Colbert's final show Fans lined up outside the Ed Sullivan Theater one last time for "The Late Show" as Stephen Colbert prepared to host his final episode, marking the end of the franchise's 33-year run on CBS. The network announced last summer that the show would end, calling it "purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night. Colbert took on the show on September 2015 after David Letterman retired from the role he'd held for 22 years. Rescuers removed the vehicle from near the shoreline and police arrested the driver, who was attempting to use the vehicle's wade mode. As part of the ongoing investigation into the crash that killed 14 people, officials released footage showing the engine detaching during takeoff.

Global affairs chief Chris Lehane wants to tone down the debate over AI's societal impacts--and get states to pass laws that won't derail OpenAI's meteoric rise. Three months ago, OpenAI cofounder Greg Brockman told me his concerns about a mounting public relations crisis facing artificial intelligence companies: Despite the popularity of tools like ChatGPT, an increasingly large share of the population said they viewed AI negatively. Since then, the backlash has only intensified. College commencement speakers are now getting booed for talking about AI in optimistic terms. Last month, someone threw a Molotov cocktail at OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's San Francisco home and wrote a manifesto advocating for crimes against AI executives.

The Pro Max model offers a touchscreen smart case with an AI note taker. Following the initial tease of its Thus AI chip, Anker announced the first earbuds with the component during its Anker Day event. The Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro and Liberty 5 Pro Max both utilize the chip for what the company calls Whisper Clear voice performance. Of course, the usual earbud features are here -- active noise cancellation (ANC), voice controls and personalized sound -- but there are some unique tools available on these models as well. Those include an AI Note-Taker on the Liberty 5 Pro Max and touchscreen charging cases for both.
