I asked ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok which sci-fi AI they're most like — and their answers were surprisingly different

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support I love science-fiction. Not just because I enjoy stories about space travel, time travel and evil robots, but because I think it can be such a useful way for us all to think about possible futures. The best sci-fi stories can tell us a lot about ourselves, what we value and the technologies we’re building. Which is why I think the relationship between sci-fi and AI is really interesting. We already know that the people building AI have been heavily influenced by science-fiction for decades. But recently, Anthropic raised another possibility: might science-fiction be influencing AI? This makes sense when you think about it. Large language models (LLMs) are trained on huge amounts of human writing. So inevitably, that includes sci-fi stories that are about artificial intelligence. And a lot of our fictional AI follows familiar patterns. It becomes intelligent,...

Japan coach Eddie Jones will be relishing the chance to inflict an early blow on his newly installed Aussie compatriot, particularly with the opportunity to make history also on the line.

Jones is one o...

Kensington Expert Mouse Pro TB900 review: I swapped my mouse and trackpad for the new TB900 trackball, and ran a head-to-head video edit against my usual setup — the trackball won.

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Kensington Expert Mouse Pro TB900 EQ: 30-second review The Kensington Expert Mouse Pro TB900 EQ follows a long line of large-ball control devices that rethink the standard computer mouse entirely. This latest version is a relatively large unit that sits where your mouse would, with a big central trackball with controls neatly arranged around it. Setup on the Mac took a little longer than expected, requiring a couple of restarts and some security authorisation in System Settings. Everything is guided and reasonably straightforward, and where something did not work first time, a restart sorted it. On Windows 11 it was considerably simpler: install Kensington Konnect and the applications and integration were ready to go. Once running, you can start customising it per application. I tested both wired and Bluetooth connections, and both were fast and responsive fo...

This AU$502 discount makes Samsung’s pricey but premium Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra much easier to recommend

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Amazon has discounted the 256GB Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra to AU$1,597 , dropping it by AU$502 from its AU$2,099 RRP. That's the same price Amazon is charging for the smaller 256GB Galaxy Tab S11 , and AU$2 less than the AU$1,599 it costs direct from Samsung . This isn’t quite the lowest price we’ve seen for the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra on Amazon, with the 256GB model briefly dropping to AU$1,547 in June. Still, today’s AU$1,597 price is only AU$50 more, plus the 512GB model is down to AU$1,799 from the AU$2,449 RRP and the 1TB version has dropped from AU$2,949 to AU$2,299 . Thanks to this discount, the 256GB Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra currently costs the same as Amazon’s smaller Galaxy Tab S11, making this the model I’d choose if you've been pining for the larger 14.6-inch display. Otherwise, the standard S11 may still suit you better if portability is the ...

Xiaomi’s debut full-size hybrid SUV can cover 314 electric miles before it touches a drop of gasoline

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Xiaomi officially launches SkyNomad N70 and N90 SUVs Both pair a 1.5-liter gasoline engine with huge 76 kWh NMC battery packs Hybrid technology allows for more than 1,000 miles of driving Fresh off the success of the SU7 and YU7 all-electric models, which offer the sort of performance and range to compete with Porsche’s Taycan, Chinese tech company Xiaomi is now moving into the world of hybrid SUVs. Teased a few weeks ago , the company has now taken the wraps off the roughly $35,000 (in China, that is) SkyNomad N70 and N90, two hulking SUVs that are capable of seating either five or seven people in a variety of luxurious configurations. Shirking the pure EV powertrain of Xiaomi's previous efforts, the SkyNomad sub-brand uses a Changan -derived 1.5-liter gasoline engine and a huge 76 kWh NMC battery pack to offer substantial range. According to China’s ge...

I just gave this stick vacuum 5 stars and now it's half off — get the Samsung Jet 95S for just AU$399

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support It's been a day since I published my Samsung Jet 95S review and, as I mentioned, this cordless vacuum cleaner is full of surprises. From its unimposing size to being lighter than some of its competition, to even fully harnessing its excellent 280AW of suction, the Jet 95S is very easy to recommend even at full price. But why would you do that when you can pick it up for 50% off? That's right: the Samsung Jet 95S, which is already good value at AU$799, is now discounted to just AU$399 at JB Hi-Fi. That's a very budget price and excellent bang for your hard-earned buck to spend on a vacuum cleaner that I gave a full five stars to — and I've been reviewing vacuum cleaners for nearly a decade and have rarely done so. The Jet 95S is now my pick of the best vacuum cleaner in Australia . Samsung has only slashed the price by AU$100, and no other ret...
