The AI Habit That's KILLING Your Dating Life

There’s a new reason to avoid buddying up to ChatGPT, at least if you’re single: Daters find it deeply unattractive. In a recent survey of 3,500 Gen Z and Millennial daters in the U.S., the dating app Hily found that using AI is, quite simply, not a flex. In fact, it’s a major turnoff when it comes to romance and potential partnership. Younger daters are especially likely to view AI reliance as a red flag. While 56% of Millennial respondents said they wouldn’t date someone who uses AI regularly,

Sony's Latest Phone Is For a VERY Specific Type of Person

The 1 VIII doesn’t look much like any Xperia that’s come before. The Xperia 1 VIII marks an attempt at a step change for Sony's flagship phone line. Not only has it had an aesthetic overhaul, but Sony has also revamped the camera system, dropping the continuous optical zoom telephoto that's defined the last four generations of Xperia phone. It's not all different. Sony staples like a 3.5mm headphone jack and microSD card slot remain, and a few specific design touches, like a thick front bezel

How A Simple Vacuum Cleaner Sparked The ROBOT Revolution

If you had a Roomba, especially in the early days of the robot vacuum, it was in many ways a fairly unsophisticated machine. It would just bump around your house, looking for something to suck up, until its battery died or its (way too small) tank filled up. Not that it mattered, though. You probably loved your Roomba. You probably gave it a name. On this episode of Version History, we tell the story of the Roomba, and how it made vacuums lovable. The Verge's David Pierce and Jennifer Pattison T

Should Corporate Net-Zero Goals Just DISAPPEAR?

In order to stave off the worst effects of climate change, experts say that we, as a planet, need to reach net-zero emissions by 2050.  That has led countless companies to set their own corporate net-zero goals—and use carbon credits and renewable energy certificates to balance out their emissions—as a way to show their commitment to the climate.  But a company getting to net zero on paper isn’t actually all that beneficial for the climate, argues a new paper from the Searchlight Institute, a ce

The 3 LIES You're Telling Yourself About Your Job

There’s a lot of confusion shaping the modern workplace. Recently, we spoke with a senior leader at a global company who told us, “Everything looks right on paper—our strategy is solid, we have good talent, our growth is scaling, but something still feels off.” That “off” feeling is becoming more common. And it’s not because leaders aren’t trying hard enough. It’s because many of the assumptions guiding those decisions no longer reflect reality. Over 35 years of working within organizations and

Why Your Boss Has NO IDEA You've Already Quit

Michael Scott, the hapless regional manager at the center of the American version of “The Office” played by Steve Carell, believed he was the world’s best boss. He even had the mug to prove it. Meanwhile, for most of the show’s 2005-2013 run, his employees endured pointless meetings, cringed through his speeches and quietly counted the hours until they could leave. The joke worked because so many viewers recognized something universal: the gap between how bosses see themselves and how workers ac
