Robert Nickelsberg/Getty Images Coinbase is the latest tech company to gut its workforce as part of an AI-centric restructuring. The company will lay off approximately 14 percent of its total headcount, CEO Brian Armstrong wrote in a blog post. According to Reuters, that equates to around 700 employees. Armstrong claimed he’d seen engineers “use AI to ship in days what used to take a team weeks” and that non-technical teams in the company are “shipping production code,” while Coinbase is automating many of its workflows. “All of this has led…
In the lobby of Gotham’s Iceberg Lounge, Batman and Jim Gordon brawl through a mob of criminals until there’s only one left standing. A prompt hangs over his head. With the press of a button Batman begins his finisher, sweeping the legs of the thug so fiercely his body forcibly spins upside down. I watch as Bruce punches him in slow motion so hard, his body disassembles completely. WHACK. Moments later, Batman descends down a massive rubber slide into a large ball pit. I’ve reached the underbelly of the underbelly: Falcone’s House of Fun. I smile. I’ve been struggling to…
Get the Popular Science daily newsletter💡 Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. It’s been over a decade since engineers officially got to work on the X-59 Quiet SuperSonic Technology (QueSST). Designed in collaboration with NASA, Lockheed Martin’s state-of-the-art aircraft is built to fly very high and very fast, all without leaving a telltale sonic boom in its wake. Lockheed finally revealed the X-59 to the public in January 2025 a few years behind schedule, and completed its first subsonic test flight that October. They’ve been making up for lost time ever since. The X-59 has flown…

Hitman developer IO Interactive has discussed a number of hot-button issues, including the impact of GTA 6’s delay, the status of the game’s delayed Switch 2 version, and what’s going on with its mysterious fantasy game.IO Interactive CEO Hakan Abrak covered these topics in an interview with The Game Business. Regarding the impact of GTA 6’s delay from May 2026 to November 2026, Abrak said he would be lying if he said he didn’t care about GTA 6 shifting further away from 007 First Light’s release on May 27. First Light was originally set to launch in March, which was…
A new paper from NASA’s Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 project announces that volunteers have essentially doubled the number of known brown dwarfs, with over 3,000 new discoveries made over the past 10 years since the project began. Brown dwarfs are balls of gas the size of Jupiter, less massive than stars. There’s one for every three or four stars near the Sun. Although brown dwarfs are common, they can be hard to spot because they shine so faintly compared to stars. Having twice as many brown dwarfs to study allows astronomers a deeper understanding of these elusive objects. Already, this…
Meta Meta has shared more details about what it’s doing to keep kids aged under 13 off of Facebook and Instagram.

It will scan photos and videos to look for additional indicators of a person’s age. “We want to be clear: this is not facial recognition,” Meta wrote in a blog post. “Our AI looks at general…
Imagine a tech company so visionary that it can take an idea public. A “concept IPO,” they called it.Picture the three founders, all former Apple employees, two of whom—software engineers Andy Hertzfeld and Bill Atkinson—were already Silicon Valley legends for their work creating the Apple Macintosh. Atkinson’s prolific inventions included the double click and the drop‑down menu. The third founder, Marc Porat, had a gift for seeing the future.For his PhD dissertation at Stanford in 1976, Porat analyzed (in painstaking detail) a century of transition in the American labor force and predicted a sea change in work. An economy based…
