Shokz has crept up the wireless audio ranks to become a trendsetter in the sporty earbuds category. Releases like the OpenFit 2 and OpenFit Air were complementary pieces to the brand's excellent bone-conduction headphones.

These awesome-looking earpieces are built for outdoor runners who want to enjoy music with the full openness of their environment.

I feel a troubling kind of opacity in my brain lately--as if reality were becoming illegible, as if language were a vessel with holes in the bottom and meaning was leaking all over the floor. I sometimes look up words after I write them: does "illegible" still mean too messy to read? The day after Donald Trump's second Inauguration, my verbal cognition kept glitching: I got an e-mail from the children's-clothing company Hanna Andersson and read the name as "Hamas"; on the street, I thought "hot yoga" was "hot dogs"; on the subway, a theatre poster advertising "Jan. Ticketing" said "Jia Tolentino" to me. Even the words that I might use to more precisely describe the sensation of "losing it" elude me.

It's getting a little easier to use Reddit as a search engine. Last year, Reddit rolled out a new feature called Reddit Answers. Since so many people use Reddit as a Google replacement to tap into the community's immense knowledge, the site introduced AI-curated answers related to the topic you were looking for. Also: Meta's new AI app delivers a chatbot with a social media twist At the time, you had to specifically head to a Reddit Answers tab to use the feature, but now it's coming to the main search bar.

Google said Thursday that it has begun migrating its "AI Mode" out of its experimental Labs effort and into the real world. Google said that a "small percentage of people" in the "coming weeks" will see what Google calls AI Mode, or entirely AI-generated responses to queries that users ask. It's Google's response to services like Anthropic, which "answer" queries using AI, which slurps up and regurgitates answers that others have already provided. Google first began revamping its search algorithm in 2023, when it started aggregating AI-powered summaries of say, the best laptops. AI has been used elsewhere by Google services like Chrome to sum up web pages, as well.
