The Biden administration is actually doing something about ludicrously expensive concert tickets

Buying concert tickets is a drag, as Taylor Swift fans know all too well. When tickets first went on sale for her highly anticipated Eras Tour in November 2022, fans agonized over hours-long queues and frozen screens before Ticketmaster’s website ultimately crashed. Many failed to procure tickets, which were ultimately sold on the secondary market […] Read more ›

The Supreme Court’s new voting rights decision is a love letter to gerrymandering

The Supreme Court handed down a 6-3 decision along party lines on Thursday, which represented its fullest endorsement of partisan gerrymandering to date.  In the past, legal restrictions on racial gerrymandering — maps drawn to minimize the voting power of a particular racial group, rather than the power of a political party — had the […] Read more ›

You searched Google. The AI hallucinated an answer. Who’s legally responsible?

Google’s shift toward using AI to generate a written answer to user searches instead of providing a list of links ranked algorithmically by relevance was inevitable. Before AI Overview — introduced last week for US users — Google had Knowledge Panels, those information boxes that appear toward the top of some searches, incentivizing users to […] Read more ›

Why AI art will always kind of suck

Artificial intelligence has long been hailed as a great “equalizer” of creativity, finally putting the ability to create art in all of its myriad forms into the hands of the tech-savvy. Not a creative person? Not an issue. “The reason we built this tool is to really democratize image generation for a bunch of people […] Read more ›

Your home insurance company dumped you. Now what?

It’s one the bitterest messages you can get: A sterile form letter telling you that you’re getting dumped. And when it’s from your insurance company, it’s clear that it’s not them — it’s you. Even if you’ve always picked up the check, never made a claim, and kept your home in order, they think you’ve […] Read more ›

The real reason it costs so much to go to a concert

You’re in a crowd of tens of thousands of fellow fans. The band starts playing your favorite song. Everyone screams. You will never, ever forget this moment. Seeing a musician you adore live can be a transcendent experience. But getting to that moment has become a nightmare because getting tickets that won’t completely bankrupt you […] Read more ›

Leaked OpenAI documents reveal aggressive tactics toward former employees

On Friday, Vox reported that employees at tech giant OpenAI who wanted to leave the company were confronted with expansive and highly restrictive exit documents. If they refused to sign in relatively short order, they were reportedly threatened with the loss of their vested equity in the company — a severe provision that’s fairly uncommon […] Read more ›

The double sexism of ChatGPT’s flirty “Her” voice

If a guy told you his favorite sci-fi movie is Her, then released an AI chatbot with a voice that sounds uncannily like the voice from Her, then tweeted the single word “her” moments after the release… what would you conclude? It’s reasonable to conclude that the AI’s voice is heavily inspired by Her.  Sam […] Read more ›

Dopamine, explained

Dopamine, a chemical messenger in the brain, used to be neuroscience jargon — something you’d read about in a biology textbook. But today, dopamine has become a cultural catch-all, shorthand for focus, yearning, and joy. Scroll through TikTok or sit next to a Silicon Valley software engineer at a dinner party, and you’ll be bombarded […] Read more ›

Why the US thinks Russia wants to put a nuclear warhead in space and how bad that could be

A number of statements from US officials over the past three months have been raising ominous warnings about a Russian plan to put an alarming new weapon into space. As a Department of Defense spokesperson put it to Vox directly in a conversation last week, “The United States assesses that Russia is developing a new […] Read more ›

Inside India’s secret campaign to threaten and harass Americans

I met Raqib Naik, a journalist who had fled his native India, at a coffee shop in suburban Maryland. We sat at the same metal table where he once discussed the prospect of his assassination with FBI agents. Naik is a Muslim from Jammu and Kashmir, India’s only Muslim-majority state. In August 2019, Prime Minister […] Read more ›

Why ICC arrest warrants matter, even if Israel and Hamas leaders evade them

As the US continues to stand by Israel amid its widening offensive in Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah, the International Criminal Court (ICC) is considering arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas leaders accused of grave crimes in the course of the war. The ICC’s top prosecutor, Karim Khan, announced Monday that he is seeking arrest […] Read more ›

Why the US built a pier to get aid into Gaza

The US Department of Defense has completed a temporary pier off the Mediterranean coast of Gaza to deliver urgently needed aid — an important goal, but really only a $320 million bandage on the humanitarian crisis 2.3 million people are currently facing. The US military announced that on Thursday at 7:40 am Gaza time the […] Read more ›

Vanderpump Rules shows the limits of making money on reality TV

Reality stars have always fallen in the lower ranks of onscreen talent. Despite their huge impact on pop culture, they’re not as well-compensated and generally respected as actors and even hosting personalities. This is especially noticeable on Bravo, where the network’s biggest names mainly exist in their own ecosystem of celebrity — or more accurately, […] Read more ›

The misleading, wasteful way we measure gas mileage, explained

Time for a pop quiz. Which of these trades saves more gas: A) Swapping a car that gets 25 miles per gallon (MPG) for one that gets 50 MPG, or  B) Replacing a car that gets 10 MPG with one that gets 15 MPG. If you said that A conserves more gas, you’re mistaken. And […] Read more ›

Bridgerton’s third season is more diverse — and even shallower — than ever

With the recent Netflix drop, Bridgerton’s color-conscious casting enters its third season, and we still have many of the same questions for the series that we had at the beginning. What impact does this casting have on our storyline, if any? Does the injection of so many characters of color add complexity to our understanding […] Read more ›

Joe Biden was about to become president, and the Alito household was in distress. On Thursday evening, the New York Times reported that, during the tense period between the January 6 insurrection and Biden’s inauguration, Justice Samuel Alito’s family displayed an upside-down American flag outside their home. An upside-down flag is a distress signal — […] Read more ›

Why Trump’s running mate could be the most important VP pick of our time

In a normal presidential campaign, the announcement of a running mate gets a lot of media attention — but has little immediate importance.  But Donald Trump’s campaign this year is not normal.

Can lawmakers cap out-of-pocket child care costs?

Brittany Kjenaas and her husband live with their three-year-old daughter in northern Minnesota, paying more for child care than their mortgage. Kjenaas, a health care supply manager and her husband, a miner on the Iron Range, cite their daycare bills as the primary reason they’ve abandoned plans to have any more children. “We waited until […] Read more ›
