Harvard’s AI Tutor Study Delivers 2x Learning Gains, And Exposes a Global Equity Crisis

A Harvard RCT proves AI tutors double learning outcomes in physics education, but the real story isn’t the technology, it’s who gets left behind when 44 million teachers are needed and 2.6 billion people lack internet access.

Nvidia’s CES Ghosting Marks the End of Consumer GPUs as We Know Them

For the first time in five years, Nvidia is skipping CES GPU announcements while RTX 50-series cards vanish from shelves. The culprit isn’t just supply chain chaos, it’s a deliberate pivot to AI data center gold.

The Take-Home Assignment Trap: How Tech Companies Are Extracting Free Labor From Senior Engineers

Senior engineers report spending entire weekends on unpaid coding assignments and presentations, only to be ghosted by recruiters. This systemic exploitation in tech hiring is getting worse, and AI is making it more insidious.

Kevin Mitnick’s Ghost Haunts Modern Security Architecture

The $130,000 question: Was Mitnick’s social engineering thesis right all along? Data from 2025 breaches suggests we’re still designing systems that treat humans as the weakest link instead of the primary attack vector.
