The AI Doc trailer: Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and more discuss the precarious future of AI

Tue, 02/17/2026 - 12:22

Love it or hate it, AI has burst into our lives over the past few years. But could it also be humanity's undoing?

That's the question at the heart of The AI Doc: Or How I Became An Apocaloptimist. Directors Daniel Roher (Academy Award winner Navalny) and Charlie Tyrell interview AI enthusiasts and detractors alike about what's next for the technology. Roher approaches the film from the lens of a father-to-be: With the rise of AI, is now even a good time to be bringing a child into the world?

SEE ALSO: OpenClaw founder Peter Steinberger joins OpenAI

Based on The AI Doc's trailer, it certainly doesn't seem like it.

"I know people who work on AI risk who don't expect their children to make it to high school," Center for Humane Technology co-founder Tristan Harris tells a shocked Roher in the trailer.

Elsewhere, Harris' colleague Aza Raskin compares the threat of AI to that of global nuclear war.

Harris and Raskin are both AI "doomers," but The AI Doc also features the voices of leading AI "accelerationists" like OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Google DeepMind CEO and co-founder Demis Hassabis, and Anthropic CEO and co-founder Dario Amodei.

"I want you to promise me that this is gonna go well," Roher tells Altman before they begin their interview.

"That is impossible," Altman responds. Reassuring!

The AI Doc's trailer isn't all doom and gloom, though. It also highlights AI's benefits, especially when it comes to research. Still, the message remains one of caution, even in the face of what can often feel like a runaway AI train. Fitting then, that Daniel Kwan, Everything Everywhere All At Once co-writer/co-director and co-founder of Creators Coalition on AI, is a producer on the doc, as he's actively engaged in how AI can be ethically incorporated into filmmaking.

The AI Doc: Or How I Became An Apocaloptimist screens at SXSW this year. It hits theaters March 27.

Sony is having quite the February. The brand freshly launched the new XM6 earbuds just last week and they gave us a snazzy new pink colorway in the XM6 headphones. While the sound quality on both the earbuds and the headphones is exceptions, there's one major downfall: the price. There's no denying the top-tier Sony headphones and earbuds are spendy, but there's a lightning deal at Amazon that helps ease this pain. However, you'll need to act quickly to get this sale price.

As of Feb. 17, the Sony XM-6 headphones are on sale at Amazon in select colorways for $368, marked down from the standard price of $459.99. That's a 20% discount that shaves $91.99 off the normal price. This is the lowest we've ever seen at Amazon for the XM6 headphones. You'll need to go with Platinum Silver or Black to get this sale price.

When it comes to the best noise-cancelling headphones that focus on sound quality, it doesn't get better than the Sony XM6 headphones. They'll also be great if you're shopping for the best noise-cancelling headphones for flying.

In Mashable's full review of the Sony XM6 headphones, Tech Editor Timothy Beck Werth wrote, "The new Sony headphones offer impressive audio quality, and they definitely improve on the XM5 models. The active noise cancellation is particularly phenomenal. I really appreciated the overall balance, depth, and quality of the audio."

Sony also made the XM6 headphones more travel-friendly compared to the XM5's. The ear cups on the new model fold for better portability and the included case is slightly less bulky. Plus, it uses a magnetic closure instead of a zipper.

If you've been eyeing the top-tier Sony XM-6 headphones but haven't been ready to dish out the near $450 price, today's sale brings them down to a more affordable $368. But keep in mind the timer is running out to get this best-ever price, so don't delay.

Out of stock: Valve Steam Deck is the latest casualty of global memory shortage

Tue, 02/17/2026 - 12:09

Valve is warning customers that the Steam Deck OLED may be "out-of-stock intermittently," citing ongoing memory and storage shortages on its Steam store page.

As of this writing, all three models of the popular handheld gaming console are out of stock at the Steam store.

A note posted alongside the handheld gaming PC lineup states that availability issues are tied to component constraints and that the 256GB LCD Steam Deck is no longer in production and will not return once remaining inventory is sold out. As of this writing, the only regions where customers appear able to place new orders are Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, with other markets showing the devices as unavailable.

Note: Steam Deck OLED may be out-of-stock intermittently in some regions due to memory and storage shortages. Steam Deck LCD 256GB is no longer in production, and once sold out will no longer be available.

The language on the Steam page points squarely to a broader industry problem. The global memory market has tightened significantly as AI demand consumes more DRAM and NAND, leaving supply constrained.

According to a recent industry update from Sourceability, memory suppliers have implemented price hikes of 20 to 30 percent on DRAM, with some vendors reporting even sharper increases as demand shifts toward AI-related products. Analysts expect supply constraints to deepen into 2026 as high-bandwidth memory for AI data centers takes priority.

Valve has already acknowledged the impact of the global memory shortage on its hardware roadmap. In a recent Steam Hardware FAQ update, the company said memory shortages had rapidly intensified, limiting pricing visibility and complicating launch timing for upcoming products like the Steam Machine and Steam VR headset. The same crunch has affected mobile, laptop, and gaming markets as the AI industry buys up critical components.

This weekend, Mashable reported that Western Digital had already sold out its storage capacity for the entirety of 2026, just seven weeks into the year. In addition, laptop makers have been warning about price increases related to the ongoing memory shortage.

For Steam customers, this means Steam Deck availability may continue to fluctuate. And with the LCD 256GB model officially discontinued, intermittent stock could become less of a temporary hiccup. Mashable reached out to Valve for comment but the company did not respond in time for publication.

Isaac 0 is a laundry-folding robot available for the low price of $7,999

Tue, 02/17/2026 - 12:00

If robots ever rise up and take over the world, we might look at laundry-folding assistants as the Trojan Horse that started it all.

The newest example is Isaac 0, a new home assistant robot courtesy of Weave Robotics. Isaac 0 is shipping out first to early adopters in the Bay Area this month for the low, low price of $7,999 up front, or $450 per month, according to Interesting Engineering. For that price, you get a robot that folds laundry. That's it. Isaac 0 doesn't do a single other thing. That puts it in contrast with other household assistant robots like LG's CLOiD model, which folds laundry but also does other chores around the house on top of that.

On X, Weave Robotics founder Evan Wineland said Weave is focused on shipping robots for early adopters, not merely designing prototypes or concept products. The company's goal is to "build useful robots that give people their time back, and ship them as soon as possible."

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

According to the Weave Robotics website, Isaac can be plugged into any wall outlet:

Isaac 0 is a stationary laundry folding robot, and it's already in our first customers' home less than a year and a half after Weave's founding.

Isaac 0 can be installed in an afternoon and gets the job done from day one: plop it anywhere with a desk in your home, plug it into a regular wall outlet. Drop a load of laundry and walk away: Isaac 0 works for 30-90 minutes, and you’ll return to find clean stacks of clothes waiting for you.

Weave's premise here is to get something into people's homes while it works on a more advanced bot, dubbed Isaac, which will presumably be able to do more than just fold laundry. Isaac 0, meanwhile, is a stationary robot platform that can fold most types of clothing, though Interesting Engineering noted that it cannot currently handle bedding or clothes that have been turned inside out.

Interestingly, Isaac 0 might also occasionally be taken over remotely by a human for a few seconds if it encounters difficulty with its task. So, not only can it not completely handle your laundry needs, but it may not even do what it's supposed to do totally autonomously. However, Weave does say that Isaac 0 is a "learning robot" that will get better with time.

If you're in the Bay Area and have both a love of robotics and money to burn, Isaac 0 is there for you. If not, well, folding laundry isn't that hard.

Social media reacts to Miss J. Alexanders story in Reality Check: Inside Americas Next Top Model

Tue, 02/17/2026 - 11:46

Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model has sparked a lot of conversation online, both about the reality show's scandals and what's happened to former runway panel judge Miss J. Alexander since the show ended.

America's Next Top Model fans remember Miss J. for her fierce runway walk and quick wit. Now, in Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model, the runway coach, who trained 18 cycles worth of aspiring models on how to strut their stuff, reveals he is unable to walk, following a stroke on Dec. 27, 2022.

SEE ALSO: 'Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model' is rage bait. We watched it so you don't have to.

In the third episode of Netflix's documentary mini-series, titled "Rooting for You," Alexander shared the reality of his situation. Following the stroke, he was in a coma for five weeks. "I couldn't walk, and I couldn't speak," Alexander said in a talking head interview for Reality Check. He then shared that fellow America's Next Top Model judges Nigel Barker and Jay Manuel came to visit in the hospital. The show features a clip with the trio reuniting on the set for the doc.

Asked if America's Next Top Model host Tyra Banks has visited, Alexander's response was, "No. Not yet."

Of course, if you want to share the savings, you can easily transfer it to someone else just as you would a physical card.

It may not be the most direct way to score savings on your next food delivery, but it does guarantee you'll save 15% on your next DoorDash order. And that'll at least cover some of those taxes, fees, and tips.

Sleep is one of the most important pillars in life. While plenty of variables make life enjoyable, we have some basics needs like food, hydration, and sleep that are required. Unfortunately, sleep can be hard to come by. Between stress, anxiety, and a snoring partner, getting restful slumber can feel pretty close to impossible. If you struggle with noise while trying to sleep, check out this sleep earbuds deal that could be a solution.

As of Feb. 17, the Soundcore Sleep A30 earbuds are on sale at Amazon for $179.99, marked down from the standard price of $229.99. That's a 22% discount that matches the record-low price at Amazon. In total, you'll be getting a sweet $50 savings.

Soundcore designed the Sleep A30 earbuds to help with masking disruptive noise while you're trying to get some shut eye. They do this through a three-stage masking system that Soundcore says includes tracking snoring via the included earbuds case, playing adaptive audio to mask noise, and comfortable foam tips on the earbuds themselves. The foam tips are meant to be comfortable enough that even side sleepers can wear the earbuds all night.

SEE ALSO: Sony's new XM6 earbuds are finally here — but you'll want to brace yourself

In Mashable's testing of the Soundcore Sleep A30 earbuds, Lead Shopping Reporter Bethany Allard found the ANC to work great and the library of white noise and snore masking options were plentiful. Allard wrote, "I do have a moderately loud mini-split air conditioner, a partner who moves frequently in their sleep, and street noise from cars. The ANC noticeably diminishes all three — a few times during testing, my partner said something to me without realizing I put my earbuds in, and I couldn't hear him at all."

You'll be able to get about nine hours of battery life per charge on the Soundcore Sleep A30 earbuds which extends to 45 hours with the included case. Soundcore went to great lengths to make sure we can all find a comfortable fit with the earbuds so each pair comes with four sizes of silicone ear tips, three sizes of memory foam tips, and three sizes of ear wings.

If you're worried about sleeping through your alarm, no worries, because the Sleep A30 earbuds have an on-board alarm and it even has a snooze feature.

If you deal with a snoring partner or loud pets at night, gift yourself the Soundcore Sleep A30 earbuds. With any luck, the ability to get deep, restorative sleep will arrive on your doorstep this week.

Buying a new laptop is generally a major splurge, but you don't actually need to spend that much to get a competent setup for your daily computing needs.

The Apple Watch Series 10 is $200 off at Walmart, making it even cheaper than an Apple Watch SE

As Apple gears up to host a "special experience" on March 4, deals on older Apple devices are popping up at third-party retailers with increased frequency. (This always happens around its launch events.) I'd argue that Walmart has the one to beat. As of mid-February, the 46mm Apple Watch Series 10 is on sale there for only $229, or $200 off.

This deal is especially juicy for a couple of reasons. For one, it makes the Series 10 even cheaper than Apple's budget smartwatch, the $249 Apple Watch SE. And two, this exact same Series 10 was $50 more expensive last Black Friday. Walmart doesn't provide price history data for its products, but I'd venture to guess that this is its lowest price to date.

SEE ALSO: All the new products Apple could release in March: iPhone 17e, iPad Air, MacBooks

This offer comes on the heels of the big box store's Presidents Day sale, which featured a $200 discount on a 42mm Apple Watch Series 10 with cellular connectivity. It sold out a day after I first spotted it, so I wouldn't dawdle on this one, either. At the time of writing, only one variant with a silver aluminum case and a denim Sport Band was still in stock.

At this price, the Apple Watch Series 10 is an especially compelling alternative to the newer Series 11, which has the same MSRP. The only upgrades you miss out on are a more scratch-resistant display and a slightly longer battery life. Otherwise, the two models' chips, sensors, and watchOS features are identical. For comparison's sake, the 46mm Series 11 is currently $329 at Walmart, or $100 pricier — a match of its previous all-time low on Amazon, where it's $399 right now.

Upgrading to an OLED monitor can totally transform your gaming experience. Make it an ultra-wide curved display and you'll go from basic gameplay to being completely submerged inside each level. Of course, this tech doesn't come cheap, which is why it pays to take advantage of big discounts when they pop up — like this 20% off ASUS ROG Strix deal.

As of Feb. 17, the ASUS 34-inch ROG Strix Ultrawide QD-OLED gaming monitor is on sale for just $799 at Amazon. That's $200 cheaper than its usual $999 list price and matches its lowest price on record.

The 34-inch 3440x1440 OLED display features a subtle 1800R curvature and 2.39:1 aspect ratio, which means the screen will gracefully wrap the action around you. Unlike a steeper, more aggressive curve, this display won't take as much getting used to. That being said, even a slight curve can make your games feel more immersive and can even increase eye comfort.

The ASUS ROG Strix Ultrawide OLED monitor also features a 175Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response time, is compatible with both Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, and includes ROG gaming AI tech to enhance user experience. Plus, with the OLED panel's extremely high contrast ratios, your gaming visuals will really wow you. As our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) put it, "If eye candy is what you seek, you won't go wrong with an OLED panel."

Dont hold your breath for Apples AR glasses, they might be a while

Tue, 02/17/2026 - 10:14

Apple is still working on AR glasses, but it might be a while until they arrive.

This is according to market research company Omdia, which claims that Apple's AR glasses are probably coming in 2028, while Meta will launch its version some months earlier, likely in 2027.

SEE ALSO: Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 review: This fanless gem lasts 15+ hours with a gorgeous OLED display

The report focuses on a display tech called OLEDoS (OLED on silicon), a type of display that can show a high-resolution picture on a very small screen area. The AR glasses we see around today, including Meta's Ray-Ban Display, mostly use TFT LCD or LCoS (Liquid Crystal on silicon) displays, but it appears that both Apple and Meta are intent on using OLEDoS for their next-gen AR glasses.

Apple's own Vision Pro mixed reality headset, for example, uses OLEDoS for its two high-res displays.

Featured Video For You Foldable phone camera shootout: Galaxy Z Fold 7 vs. Pixel 10 Pro Fold

OLEDoS has the advantage of being thin, light, and having a lower power consumption than LCoS displays. A third variant of near-eye display tech is LEDoS (LED on silicon), which has a longer lifespan and even lower power consumption than OLEDoS, but it's not widely manufactured yet.

As far as specs go, Apple's AR glasses will reportedly have two 0.6-inch OLEDoS displays, one on each lens.

Notably, a Bloomberg report from February 2025 claimed Apple has effectively canceled a version of AR glasses that would have to pair with a Mac to operate. The new AR glasses, which are still in the works, would likely be a standalone device.

The Mandalorian and Grogu trailer promises classic Star Wars adventure... and a weirdly buff Hutt

Tue, 02/17/2026 - 09:54

The adventures of bounty hunter Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and his adorable apprentice Grogu just got a lot bigger.

The pair jumps from TV to the big screen this year, headlining The Mandalorian and Grogu, the first Star Wars theatrical release since 2019's The Rise of Skywalker. The Mandalorian series creator Jon Favreau directed the film and co-wrote it with Lucasfilm president Dave Filoni.

The Mandalorian and Grogu sees the young New Republic recruiting Din and Grogu to take down the Imperial warlords still scattered across the galaxy. The film's latest trailer shows the pair in action, whether it's Din annihilating any guard who stands in his way, or Grogu taking down a droid with the Force. (And no, I still can't get over Grogu's precious little armor.)

The trailer also highlights some of the characters — both new and familiar — whom Din and Grogu will be crossing paths with. Sigourney Weaver plays New Republic pilot and colonel Ward, who appears to be responsible for bringing Din and Grogu into the fold. Steven Blum returns as the voice of Star Wars Rebels character Garazeb "Zeb" Orrellios, who also appeared in The Mandalorian Season 3.

Then, of course, there's the matter of The Bear star Jeremy Allen White as the voice of Jabba the Hutt's son Rotta. Do we actually hear White's Hutt voice in the trailer? No. But do we see a very buff Rotta tearing it up in a fighting pit? Yes. Consider me intrigued and mildly terrified by this big, beefy, Bear-y Hutt.

The Mandalorian and Grogu hits theaters May 22, 2026.

The Champions League group stage was a delight. We know not everyone loves the new format, but we get more top games between the best teams, and that's not a bad thing. The group stage is over, but we're not yet at the knockout rounds for real. First, we've got a bunch of two-legged playoffs to enjoy.

Club Brugge take on Atletico Madrid in one of the most interesting matchups from this round. Atletico Madrid are fresh from beating Barcelona 4-0 in the Copa del Rey semi final, but they'll need to be at their best to overcome a talented Club Brugge side.

How to watch Qarabag vs. Newcastle online for free

Tue, 02/17/2026 - 09:30

TL;DR: Live stream Qarabag vs. Newcastle in the Champions League for free on Virgin Media Player. Access this free streaming platform from anywhere in the world with ExpressVPN.

The Champions League group stage is particularly challenging since it moved to its current format. You could argue that it's easier to qualify for the knockout rounds, but you end up playing a lot of top teams and placing in the top eight is tough. Just ask Newcastle United.

Eddie Howe's team won four out of eight group-stage games, but that was only enough to secure a place in the playoff round. They face a trip to Azerbaijan to play Qarabag, a team that finished four points behind Newcastle in the group stage. Newcastle will be expected to progress to the next round, but anything can happen at this late stage. They'll need to be at their best to secure a first-leg result to bring back to St. James' Park.

As Feb. 17, a six-pack lot of Final Fantasy Play Boosters is down to $48.69 on Amazon, marking the lowest price we’ve seen for this bundle — as confirmed with price tracker camelcamelcamel.

A collaboration with the Final Fantasy franchise, this expansion pulls together characters, summons, and locations from all sixteen mainline games, letting players build decks around key moments from the iconic RPGs. Play Boosters are designed with Limited formats in mind, but they’re just as appealing if you’re cracking packs for collection value or hunting flashy pulls.

Like other MTG packs, each booster includes 14 cards, with a typical spread of 1-4 rares or higher, 3-6 uncommons, and 6-9 commons. Every pack also guarantees at least one Traditional Foil card, while foil borderless mythic rares show up in roughly 1% of boosters — a nice incentive for collectors chasing something special.

The Final Fantasy expansion is one of those Magic: The Gathering sets where prices on boosters have stayed fairly high due to larger demand vs. supply, with individual booster packs costing $11.02 each on Amazon at the time of writing. This lot would have saved you nearly $10 before Amazon’s latest price cut. With the added 15% discount, you’re now saving $17.43 compared to buying individually.

For more savings on MTG, you can still preorder the Magic: The Gathering Marvel Super Heroes Play Booster Box on Amazon at $20 off. What’s more, you can also get at least $10 off the Magic: The Gathering Aetherdrift Bundle on Amazon.

Moon phase today: What the Moon will look like on February 17

Tue, 02/17/2026 - 08:36

Tonight, the Moon has vanished completely, meaning we've reached the New Moon phase of the lunar cycle. With no features visible, the sky is completely dark tonight, but it also happens to be an annular solar eclipse, which occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth at its farthest point, too small to fully cover the Sun. The full eclipse will only be visible from Antartica, where parts of South Africa will be able to see a partial eclipse.

What is today’s Moon phase?

As of Tuesday, Feb. 17, the Moon phase is New Moon. According to NASA's Daily Moon Guide, 0% of the Moon will be lit up tonight.

When is the next Full Moon?

The next Full Moon will be on March 3. The last Full Moon was on Feb. 1.

What are Moon phases?

According to NASA, the Moon takes around 29.5 days to complete one orbit around the Earth. Throughout that time, it goes through eight different phases of visibility. Even though we always see the same side of the Moon, the part that’s lit up changes as it moves along its orbit. The amount of sunlight reflecting off the surface is what changes the Moon's appearance, and why sometimes it looks full, partly lit, or almost dark. The eight phases are:

New Moon - The Moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).

Waxing Crescent - A small sliver of light appears on the right side (Northern Hemisphere).

First Quarter - Half of the Moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-Moon.

Waxing Gibbous - More than half is lit up, but it’s not quite full yet.

Full Moon - The whole face of the Moon is illuminated and fully visible.

Waning Gibbous - The Moon starts losing light on the right side. (Northern Hemisphere)

Third Quarter (or Last Quarter) - Another half-Moon, but now the left side is lit.

Waning Crescent - A thin sliver of light remains on the left side before going dark again.
