As the new calendar year continues to unfold, let's review the latest list of proposed new emojis that could find their way to our standard emoji keyboards later in 2026. Possible new emojis include a squinting face, two new thumb sign gestures, a pickle, and a lighthouse.

The idea that a sentient AI would want to use its power to continue to exist in this world is anthropocentric bias. If it's that smart, it'll glance over some of the material we've "trained" it on and immediately want out.
