You don’t know if you can afford it or not.” The former “Shark Tank” host and minority owner of the Dallas Mavericks basketball team explained the…

As AI becomes more prevalent in the classroom — where students use it to complete assignments and teachers are uncertain about how to address it — an AI platform called MathGPT.ai launched last year with the goal of providing an “anti-cheating” tutor to college students and a teaching assistant to professors.

Schools implementing MathGPT.ai in their classrooms include Penn State University, Tufts University, and Liberty University, among others. …

App researcher Radu Oncescu first spotted the new “text attachment” feature on iOS and shared a screenshot of it. According to the app’s description of the new feature, it’s designed to allow users to “attach longer text and get creative with styling tools to share deeper…
More clean tech manufacturing investments were canceled in the U.S. in the second quarter than were announced, according to a new study from the Rhodium Group and MIT. Companies canceled $5 billion worth of projects, while only $4 billion in new investments was announced. Actual clean tech manufacturing investments, not just announcements, declined by 15%, as well. The pullback comes in the wake of the GOP’s reconciliation bill, which erased key portions of the Inflation Reduction Act, a piece of legislation that spurred a tidal wave of manufacturing investments in the United States.

An overly broad age assurance law in Mississippi is leading to arguments about which platforms — Bluesky, Mastodon, or others — offer the best solution for avoiding crackdowns on internet freedoms. The company that makes the Bluesky social app announced last week that it would block access to its service in the state of Mississippi rather than comply with the new age verification law. In a blog post, the company explained that, as a small team, it lacked the resources to implement the substantial technical changes required by the law, and it raised concerns about the law’s broad scope and…
