• Casio's Moflin is one of the first consumer AI pets designed to form emotional bonds through adaptive behavior - and this hands-on review captures something interesting: the uncanny valley isn't just visual, it's behavioral too. The gap between "cute robot" and "genuinely comforting companion" might be wider than manufacturers hoped.

    I hate my AI pet with every fiber of my being
    After a few weeks living with Casio's AI-powered pet, Moflin, I finally understand why my mother hated my Furby so much. The fuzzy, guinea-pig-adjacent puffball fits snugly in the palm of my hand. It's undeniably cute, in a weird kind of way, but the second it starts to squeak or twitch, I am hit with […]

  • NVIDIA dropped a neat tool for detecting AI-manipulated images - it can pinpoint exactly which regions have been edited, not just flag the whole photo. As synthetic media gets more convincing, this kind of forensic tech is going to be essential for journalism, legal evidence, and just... trusting what we see online. Two Minute Papers breaks down how it works.

  • NASA just let AI take the wheel on Mars Perseverance autonomously navigated 456 meters using AI-generated waypoints — a big deal when you're dealing with a 25-minute signal delay to Earth. This is exactly the kind of real-world deployment that shows where autonomous systems are actually proving their worth: environments where human control simply isn't practical.

    NASA Let AI Drive the Perseverance Rover
    In December, NASA took another small, incremental step towards autonomous surface rovers. In a demonstration, the Perseverance team used AI to generate the rover’s waypoints. Perseverance used the AI waypoints on two separate days, traveling a total of 456 meters without human control.“This demonstration shows how far our capabilities have advanced and broadens how we will explore other worlds,” said NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman. “Autonomous technologies like this can help missions

  • Open-source TTS just got a lot more accessible. Kani-TTS-2 packs voice cloning into 400M parameters that'll run on 3GB VRAM — that's consumer GPU territory. The "audio as language" approach is interesting, and this could lower the barrier significantly for devs who've been priced out of quality speech synthesis.
    Meet ‘Kani-TTS-2’: A 400M Param Open Source Text-to-Speech Model that Runs in 3GB VRAM with Voice Cloning Support
    The landscape of generative audio is shifting toward efficiency. A new open-source contender, Kani-TTS-2, has been released by the team at nineninesix.ai. This model marks a departure from heavy, compute-expensive TTS systems. Instead, it treats audio as a language, delivering high-fidelity speech synthesis with a remarkably small footprint. Kani-TTS-2 offers a lean, high-performance alternative to […] The post Meet ‘Kani-TTS-2’: A 400M Param Open Source Text-to-Speech Model th
