The'Outnumbered' panel reacts to the House Oversight Committee's move to subpoena former President Joe Biden's doctor amid concerns about his mental fitness during his time in office. Former President Barack Obama's White House physician said in a new interview that former President Joe Biden's doctor should have performed a cognitive test to evaluate his fitness to serve in office. Obama's doctor, Jeffrey Kuhlman, told The Washington Post that Biden White House physician Kevin O'Connor should have performed a cognitive test during Biden's last year as president, given his age. O'Connor, who Kuhlman first appointed as Biden's doctor in 2009 when he was vice president, declared in a 2024 report that the then-81-year-old president "continues to be fit for duty." The report did not mention any neurocognitive testing.

Free Guy is pop culture in a blender. Largely set in a video game that feels like a cross between Fortnite and Grand Theft Auto, the movie feels both incredibly familiar and brand new. According to Ryan Reynolds, who stars as a non-playable character named Guy, that's by design. "A wholesale, original non-IP, non-comic-book, non-sequel movie is an increasingly rare unicorn these days," Reynolds tells WIRED. "I remember as a kid getting to see Back to the Future for the first time, and I'm not comparing our movie to Back to the Future, but I kind of wanted it to have a bit of that magic. I love being immersed in a world I'm unfamiliar with, and experiencing real wish-fulfillment is something that harkens back to, like, the Amblin days."

Tech start-up Areto Labs noticed online abuse was stopping women from going into politics – so it did something about it. "Imagine you have a job interview and every day, for a month, you have to walk down a dark alley, knowing the worst people in the world are in that alley and they will yell and scream at you," proposes Aucklander Jacqueline Comer, a creative technologist. "If you knew that, you wouldn't apply for the job. And, unfortunately, that's what women in politics have to put up with." Most people in the public eye cop some online criticism, but women get some of the most violent.

The Trade Desk is using artificial intelligence to give marketers a clearer picture of where their programmatic dollars actually go. The ad platform announced three new tools on Tuesday meant to simplify the programmatic buying process and better predict who exactly advertisers can expect to reach ahead of each campaign. The rollout comes as brands have grown frustrated with the often-opaque nature of placing and measuring large-scale automated advertising results. "We feel that we've revamped the user experience--we've adopted a new and transparent form of AI, and we think that this is going to make many of the complexities of programmatic much, much simpler for everyone," said Kathleen Comer, The Trade Desk's vp of client services. "We think that's going to impact the future of programmatic because buying will be much more simple, more intuitive. And when buying becomes more simple and intuitive, it becomes more scalable, which is infinitely important."

Qualcomm's decided to open up its year-old AI, by making its Neural Processing Engine (NPE) available to all. The Snapdragon NPE first landed last year, with the company pitching capabilities including "scene detection, text recognition, object tracking and avoidance, gesturing, face recognition, and natural language processing". Announcing the open release, the chip-slinger cites Facebook as a user, with the Social Network working to use the NPE in its camera app "to accelerate Caffe2-powered [augmented reality] features." TensorFlow is also name-checked in the announcement, and since the SDK's page also mentions convolutional neural network support, Vulture South reckons Cuda ConvaNet (part of last year's announcement) is also in there somewhere. As well as runtimes and libraries, the SDK provides APIs, sample code, debugging/benchmarking tools, documentation, and offline model conversion tools.
