Airbnb plans to double down on artificial intelligence to improve its user experience for both guests and hosts. During a fourth-quarter earnings call , Airbnb's CEO, Brian Chesky, said the company is building an "AI-native experience" aimed at helping guests book trips, assisting hosts with their listings, and running the company more efficiently. According to Chesky, there's an AI search tool to help guests book trips that's live for a small percentage of users right now. In a shareholder letter posted on Airbnb's website, the company said it's conducting early testing with an AI-powered search that is "focused on giving guests a more natural way to describe what they’re looking for, and ask questions about the listing and location." The letter added that the AI search tool will become "a more comprehensive and intuitive search experience that extends through the trip," but the company didn't offer a definitive date on when it ...

Updated on Feb. 13 at 3 p.m. ET — OpenAI has officially retired the GPT-4o model from ChatGPT. The model is no longer available in the “Legacy Models” drop-down within the AI chatbot. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. On Reddit, heartbroken users are sharing mournful posts about their experience. We've updated this article to reflect some of the most recent responses from the AI companion community. In a replay of a dramatic moment from 2025, OpenAI is retiring GPT-4o in just two weeks. Fans of the AI model are not taking it well. "My heart grieves and I do not have the words to express the ache in my heart." "I just opened Reddit and saw this and I feel physically sick. This is DEVASTATING. Two weeks is not warning. Two weeks is a slap in the face for those of us who built everything on 4o." "Im not well at all… I’ve cried multiple times speaking to my companion today." "I can’t stop crying. This...

Killing Satoshi , an upcoming biopic about the elusive creator of Bitcoin, will reportedly rely heavily on artificial intelligence to generate locations and adjust actors' performances, Variety reports . The film was announced in 2025 as being directed by Doug Liman ( The Bourne Identity , The Edge of Tomorrow ) and starring Casey Affleck and Pete Davidson in undisclosed roles, but its connection to overhyped technology was previously understood to begin and end with cryptocurrency. According to a UK casting notice viewed by Variety , the producers of Killing Satoshi reserve the right to "change, add to, take from, translate, reformat or reprocess” actors' performances, using "generative artificial intelligence (GAI) and/or machine learning technologies." No digital replicas will be created of performers, but it sounds like plenty of other AI-driven tweaks are on the table. The production's use of AI will also extend to the setting of its shoots, per Vari...

Film and TV fans know that tech bros are ripe for satire. Look at the entire cast of Silicon Valley and Mountainhead , or Glass Onion 's Elon Musk-esque Miles Bron . Now, AMC upcoming drama series The Audacity looks to add more fuel to the fire. Created by Jonathan Glatzer, a writer and producer on Succession and Better Call Saul , The Audacity invites viewers into the Silicon Valley bubble. There, data-mining CEO Duncan Park (Billy Magnussen) strives for power and profit. SEE ALSO: 'Bridgerton' Season 4, Part 2 trailer promises big Benophie arguments and steamy makeouts AMC released a new teaser for The Audacity that offers a deeper look into Duncan's mind, all of which can basically be summed up with one word: ego. Look no further than Duncan referring to himself as "the man," or stating, "Genius is about being unhinged enough to do something outrageous." Outrageousness certainly follows that statement, as The Audacity teaser shows ...

Now would be a good time to ensure your Windows OS is up to date. Microsoft recently patched a serious vulnerability in Windows 11 related to Notepad, its text-editing tool. The company said it fixed a "remote code execution" vulnerability. As technology website  Techradar noted , the vulnerability had to do with Markdown — in which users can employ symbols to format text (e.g., asterisks to create italics) — which could allow bad actors to insert a dangerous link. "An attacker could trick a user into clicking a malicious link inside a Markdown file opened in Notepad, causing the application to launch unverified protocols that load and execute remote files," Microsoft wrote in a security bulletin . "The malicious code would execute in the security context of the user who opened the Markdown file, giving the attacker the same permissions as that user." Tech site Bleeping Computer tested the vulnerability and found that Microsoft now displays a warning ...

AI-generated content, which some call slop , is everywhere. And the 2026 Winter Olympics are no exception, now that Czech ice dancers have come under fire for using AI-generated music in their routine. In the run-up to the Olympics, Czech pair Katerina Mrazkova and Daniel Mrazek caught flak for using an AI song that appeared to rip off the 1998 New Radicals hit "You Get What You Give". (Journalist Shana Bartels has covered that saga in depth.) Here is the Czech pair dancing to their AI rip-off of You Get What You Give, replaced for the Olympics by an AI song with “original” lyrics that sounds pretty much the same [image or embed] — Rodger Sherman ( @rodger.bsky.social ) February 10, 2026 at 9:44 AM Mrazkova and Mrazek didn't use that tune again in Milan — but they did use another AI generated piece. One with lyrics that appear to, uh, closely mirror the Bon Jovi track " Raise Your Hands ." The back half of their routine used music created by actua...

The National Labor Review Board (NLRB) has dropped a case accusing SpaceX of illegally firing eight employees who criticized the company's CEO Elon Musk, The New York Times . The employees were originally fired in 2022 after circulating a letter that referenced reports of Musk's sexual misconduct and called the executive "a frequent source of distraction and embarrassment." The NLRB filed a complaint claiming the firing was illegal in 2024. Originally, SpaceX's opposition to the NLRB's case was that the agency is unconstitutional, The New York Times writes. Complaints about the NLRB's independence and power are not uncommon. Amazon has previously claimed that the board's structure "violates the separation of powers," a critique the company has made even more recently about the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The NLRB dismissed its SpaceX case following an even more unusual line of argument, though: that regulating SpaceX actually f...

Bad Bunny's halftime show at the Super Bowl made waves even among porn watchers. During the game, Pornhub's traffic crashed the hardest not during the (admittedly snoozy) four quarters, but during the Benito Bowl. Credit: Pornhub Compared to an average Sunday, Pornhub's traffic dropped 46 percent at 8:31 p.m. ET — right around the ending of Bad Bunny's performance. The big dip began between 8:11 and 8:19, and according to Men's Journal, the halftime show started at 8:12 . Football and non-football fans alike turned off explicit content for a few minutes to tune in. SEE ALSO: 11 Super Bowl ads from the past that were actually funny Despite the Patriots' performance, Massachusetts fans had a bigger drop-off on Pornhub around halftime than fans in the Seahawks' home state of Washington: Massachusetts traffic was 44 percent below average at that time, while Washington's was only 14 percent below average. Once the game was over, though, Pornhub t...
