Corporate AI slop feels inescapable in 2025. From website banner ads to outdoor billboards, images generated by businesses using AI tools surround me. Hell, even the bar down the street posts happy hour flyers with that distinctly hazy, amber glow of some AI graphics.On Thursday, Google launched Nano Banana Pro, the company’s latest image generating model. Many of the updates in this release are targeted at corporate adoption, from putting Nano Banana Pro in Google Slides for business presentations to integrating the new model with Google Ads for advertisers globally.This “Pro” release is an iteration on its Nano Banana model…

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: xAI is once again nuking a bunch of posts from Grok on X after the chatbot made a series of outrageous claims. This time, though, the company isn’t cleaning up a bunch of pro-Hitler posts, but a bout of cringe-inducing sycophantic praise for its CEO, Elon Musk.At some point in the last couple days, Grok began to offer extremely over the top opinions about Musk. The bot claimed that Musk is the “undisputed pinnacle of holistic fitness” and that he is more fit than LeBron James. It said he is smarter than…

Cloud storage subscriptions will drain your budget month after month and leave you dependent on internet connectivity to access your own files. The Seagate 22TB HDD offers enough capacity for massive photo libraries and years of accumulated digital content in one device, and Amazon just dropped this drive to a record low of $229 for Black Friday, and while that compares to a typical $249 price, this same drive sold for $599 until just days ago. That represents a 60% discount from the price you’ve seen throughout the past year and the lowest this capacity has ever cost. See at…

Compare Top 11 Protein PowdersMore Protein Powders to ConsiderPhotograph: Boutayna ChokraneNaked Casein: With only one ingredient—micellar casein sourced from hormone-free skim milk—it’s about as clean as it gets. No added sugar, no artificial sweeteners, and no unnecessary additives. It’s cold-processed, to avoid any nastiness from chemicals or synthetic fillers, and it’s independently tested for both heavy metals and gluten. Each serving packs 26 grams of protein and 618 milligrams of calcium (about 48 percent of your daily value). But Naked Casein doesn’t contain lecithin, so it won’t dissolve as smoothly as other powders. The best way to mix is with…

Quick, when’s the last time you saw a major US retailer charge a cool 70 bucks less than usual for Apple’s latest “regular” iPad? That’s right, a little over a month ago. What you may or may not remember is that the 11-inch tablet only scored that discount once before October, which means that… we’re obviously not looking at a first-of-a-kind promotion today, but it’s still rare to be able to save this type of money on this particular device.Released back in March with an Apple A16 Bionic processor under the hood, the 11th Gen non-Pro and non-Air iPad is…
