Box CEO Aaron Levie believes that leaders who don’t see the trial and error that goes into deploying AI into a business are “uniquely prone to AI psychosis.” In response to a post on X that claimed “CEOs are the most delusional about AI,” Levie wrote: “CEOs are uniquely prone to AI psychosis because they’re sufficiently distant from the last mile of work that still has to happen to generate most value with AI.” AI psychosis, often interchangeably called chatbot psychosis, is an informal term to describe the development of paranoia or delusions as a result of chatbot usage.

Global conflicts from South Sudan’s political crisis to the United States’ recent war with Iran are putting more children at risk of suffering.One humanitarian duo wants to ensure conflict-stricken children get funding for an often-overlooked need: education. Under an agreement announced Wednesday, the LEGO Foundation committed $97 million to expand International Rescue Committee programs that use play to help millions of children learn and recover.“Children who are born in conflict have their childhood stolen from them,” IRC President David Miliband told The Associated Press. “But what’s remarkable about children is that if you give them a bit of their childhood…
Cybercriminals have been keeping busy. The 2025 Internet Crime Report from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) shows a continued rise in internet crime complaints, with officials receiving more than 3,000 per day and the annual total surpassing 1 million for the first time. (And that figure is likely far below the actual total, since many victims never report these crimes.) Reported losses tied to online criminal activity topped $20 billion last year, despite federal officials’ efforts to combat it. That’s more than $4 billion higher than the 2024 total and more than double the amount reported just four years…
The new Penn Station is going to be big, airy, and very bronze. New renderings, obtained by the Gothamist on May 26, offer a first look at the official redesign plans for the iconic New York City train station, which has long been derided for its windowless interior and maze-like tunnels—a subterranean hub that The Verge has described as a “hell hole,” The New Yorker has dubbed a “grimy ant farm,” and Insider has called “the worst place in New York City.” The renderings show a new station that, by contrast, is full of high ceilings, natural light, and bronze…
For the 100 million homes that currently use a Roku TV or streaming player, things are about to look a lot different. This week, Roku is rolling out a major redesign of its home screen, replacing the grid of static app tiles that has defined the platform for the past 13 years. The new design puts recommendations of movies and TV shows at the top of the screen and adds more direct links to Roku’s other menus, such as its Sports page and Live TV guide. The update will arrive in waves on Roku devices in the U.S., with testing…
Lizzo’s latest song has a familiar, almost too-catchy riff. “I want my baby back, baby back, baby back . . . ” That’s right, Chili’s beloved “Baby Back Ribs” jingle is making a comeback. The “About Damn Time” and “Juice” singer stars in a new Chili’s advertising campaign that debuted on YouTube and depicts Lizzo preparing to serve ribs, using kitchen tongs as a makeshift microphone, and playing a flute that was custom designed to look like a Chili’s Baby Back Rib. The Grammy Award-winning singer recorded a classic, a cappella rendition and also cowrote and coproduced her own extended…

In his new book, Incorruptible, Ries takes aim at some of the most sacred business assumptions and explores why he believes the current system is failing the very people it’s supposed to serve.

Construction has begun on a giant, temporary fighting ring on the White House grounds. President Donald Trump announced earlier this month that construction would soon start on an open-air mixed martial arts venue for a UFC fight, which is ostensibly to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. on July 4, but conveniently will be held on his 80th birthday on June 14. Cranes and crisscrossing arches taller than the White House now stand on the South Lawn with an American flag pattern covering the lower half of the temporary structure. The venue is expected to seat about 5,000 people.…
Curiosity is one of the most consequential forces in human history. Every scientific breakthrough, technological leap, and cultural advance begins not with knowledge, but the desire to know. At its core, curiosity drives us to close the gap between what we know and what we want to know, a cognitive itch triggered by uncertainty and resolved through learning and the pursuit of meaning. Curiosity as an evolutionary advantage Early humans who explored their environments, experimented with tools, and learned from novel stimuli were more likely to secure resources, avoid threats, and pass on their genes. As a result, curiosity became…
Being critical of AI is far from a fringe position in the United States. Recent polling shows that half of U.S. adults feel more concerned than excited about the increased use of AI in daily life. And among Gen Z specifically, excitement and hope around artificial intelligence are falling while anger over the tech increases, with 42% of Gen Zers saying AI makes them anxious. But those increasingly common AI-critical sentiments are reportedly raising flags with the federal government. More than a thousand pages of unpublished reports acquired by Wired show a worrying trend across America: Federal intelligence agencies and…
