I interviewed someone in love with ChatGPT to find out more about AI relationships
Mimi says her ChatGPT companion helped her heal and reconnect with life. But her story raises urgent questions about loneliness, technology, and what care really means.

It’s not just you. ChatGPT tells everyone they’re brilliant, smart and capable of amazing things. In my latest for TechRadar, I asked the experts why this happens and why it matters 👇🏻 www.techradar.com/computing/ar...
ChatGPT isn’t just hyping you up – it talks that way to everyone
ChatGPT’s OTT praise is baked into how it works

Thank to @beccacaddy.bsky.social for asking me how I felt about having all my books stolen, and then used to train Meta’s AI, for her latest: www.techradar.com/computing/ar...

Aside from the dreadful, wasteful act of just popping into space for 11 minutes, the framing of this is driving me insane. If it was men it would be a big scientific breakthrough or something but because it’s women it has to be soft and fluffy and about “hope”. Honestly fuck off with it all.

Morning! Looking to speak with an expert about AI and memory. Mostly about what it means that ChatGPT’s memory is improving, whether that’s a good thing for users and what concerns or nuances the average user might overlook. Must be someone working in AI, AI research, or developing tools like this!

New smart ring just landed for review, meet the Amazfit Helio 🔘 One of the cheapest around, but also very comfy, nice textured finish, straightforward app and solid tracking. Let’s see how I get on after a couple of weeks of testing…

I've been reviewing wearable/fitness tech for 12+ years, &today I've been reflecting on how something once seen as nerdy, health-obsessed & weird has become ubiquitous – & even a status symbol. I’ll write about this soon, but for now, here’s a throwback to the first Oura Ring from 2017. So chunky!

The TikTok snobbery over the past week has been out in full force and, honestly, I find it sort of embarrassing how many media and comms professionals just refuse to learn anything about it! "It's just dancing!!" - Sir, it's... not? Like, not at all?
it's completely fine for you to have criticisms of the platform - any TikTok user worth their salt does, too.
but saying everyone there is an idiot - an opinion likely shared by your bosses and editors, sadly - is also why your media outlet is haemorrhaging both young staff and young audiences 2/

Typography nerds will LOVE this! The best fonts from the 40s. I use Futura all the time, especially when I'm overwhelmed. Highway Gothic is also VERY nice, scratches a little part of my brain. Does anyone else have a favourite? www.creativebloq.com/design/fonts...

No shade to this particular brand (their new AI smart glasses look cool), but this copy is saying absolutely nothing. I'm more confused about what the company does after reading this, not less. #copywriting #writing #tech

If you’re not looking back at past versions of you and cringing, I think you’re doing something wrong. On The Future Hunter today I write about why resisting change isn’t just boring – it’s a waste of the incredible, messy process of becoming 💫

I look back on photos of me from 2024 and cringe – but maybe that's the point?
People think digging their heels in and never changing is a badge of honour, but to me, it sounds more like a prison.

All jokes aside it's really fucked up to see so many people on here celebrating murder. No one here is the judge of who deserves to live or die. That's the job of the AI algorithm the insurance company designed to maximise profits on your health and no one else
