Google’s AI detection tool is now available for anyone to try

 

Too bad, students — no more last-minute AI essays

 

At a time when AI-generated content is under tremendous scrutiny, Google has released a tool that detects anything written by AI. SynthID is now an open-source watermarking tool that developers and businesses can use to identify AI-created content. By analyzing specific tokens within the text, SynthID can tell whether an artificial intelligence wrote the sentence or not.

Of course, the system isn't 100% accurate. It can be fooled if someone runs the sentence through a translation program or if it's rewritten by a significant amount, but it's still a step in the right direction — especially for combating AI-made content in contexts it isn't allowed.

What an achievement: Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra was the first robot vacuum in space

 

In case you haven’t heard, a robot vacuum was sent into space. It made it up there successfully and safely and continued working, and now that it’s back on Earth it’s ready to clean some floors. The vacuum in question? Roborock’s S8 MaxV Ultra, an advanced robot vacuum and mop with the ultimate all-in-one dock. Of course, the dock didn’t travel to space, just the vacuum, but it’s an amazing feat nonetheless. Read more to find out how it all went down.

The Galaxy Ring 2 could fix the biggest problem with the device

 

Adjustable rings could be the future of wearables

 

A patent filed by Samsung suggests that a new type of adjustable smart ring could be in development. Based on the patent, the ring would have segmented interior sections that would allow it to fit more snugly against the finger while also expanding as needed. This would, in theory, provide better tracking while reducing the number of different SKUs Samsung would need for future entries in the Galaxy Ring lineup. The patent was filed at the end of last year, so with any luck Samsung wil find a way to implement it before the launch of the Galaxy Ring 2.

The Cleer Arc 3 might be the most advanced open-ear earbuds so far

 

An easy way to sanitize your buds and check your fit

 

The latest open-ear earbuds from Cleer, the Arc 3 packs a ton of features into its small size. The charging case now has its own battery and a built-in mirror in the lid, but more impressive than that is the antibacterial UV lighting. Ever wondered what kind of germs live in your ear wax? With this case, the answer is hopefully close to none.

On top of that, the case now comes with its own color touchscreen and a total of 50 hours of battery life between the buds and the case. You can pick up these earbuds in black and pink for $220, and more colors are scheduled to arrive soon.

A secret Predator movie? An Alien: Romulus sequel? 20th Century Studios’ boss teases future

 

Predator fans get two new flicks in 2025

 

Blade might have lost its release date for 2025, but that's been replaced by Predator: Badlands, a new film in the franchise that stars Elle Fanning of The Great fame. Following the success of Prey, Dan Trachtenberg was essentially handed a golden ticket to direct what he wanted — and Predator was the answer.

What's more, there's a second, secret movie that's set to come out before Badlands, but we have no more information except that it is set to release sometime in 2025. In addition, 20th Century Studios confirmed that a sequel to the hit Alien: Romulus is in the works.

Alan Wake 2’s new DLC seems to show our first look at Control 2

 

The Remedy Connected Universe could soon rival the MCU

 

Remedy Entertainment is no stranger to teasing their other projects through in-universe interactions. When Control first launched, it gave fans their first sighting of Alan Wake since his American Nightmare in 2012. Now, the sequel to Control is teased in the upcoming Alan Wake 2 DLC The Lake House, but it's easy to overlook. 

The detail is in an optional area that can easily be missed, but it provides answers to other events in the franchise that fans have speculated on. Read on to find out how and where this spot is, but be warned: there are relatively significant story spoilers in the rest of the article.
