ChatGPT and Google Gemini: Do you really need the paid versions?

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the vast majority of modern office work has become universally accepted, but just how much can you do with free versions of apps like ChatGPT and Google Gemini?

It’s a question worth asking, as there are a number of limitations with the free versions, but there’s still plenty you can achieve without forking over more of your hard-earned money.

The free version of Gemini, for example, sets limits on how useful the app can be during busy periods or ‘high-traffic’ times.

Orbital AI data centers could work, but they might ruin Earth in the process

Elon Musk's plan to launch millions of AI satellites
 could be disastrous for the planet.
 (Lily Padula for Engadget)
A single collision could cause a cascading effect in orbit.

At the start of the month, Elon Musk announced that two of his companies — SpaceX and xAI  — were merging and would jointly launch a constellation of 1 million satellites to operate as orbital data centers. Musk's reputation might suggest otherwise, but according to experts, such a plan isn't a complete fantasy. However, if executed at the scale suggested, some of them believe it would have devastating effects on the environment and the sustainability of low Earth Earth orbit.

Musk and others argue that putting data centers in space is practical given how much more efficient solar panels are away from Earth's atmosphere. In space, there are no clouds or weather events to obscure the sun, and in the correct orbit, solar panels can collect sunlight through much of the day. In combination with declining rocket launch costs and the price of powering AI data centers on Earth, Musk has said that within three years space will be the cheapest way to generate AI compute power.

Jonathan Haidt and Catherine Price, the authors of 'The Amazing Generation,' say the fight over kids’ screen time isn’t lost — if families change their approach.

In 2026, many parents feel like they’re fighting a losing battle against the ubiquity of screens in their children’s lives. Between kids demanding smartphones at younger ages, algorithms designed to be addictive and laptops required for schoolwork, it can seem impossible to set limits. But according to social psychologist Jonathan Haidt, bestselling author of The Anxious Generation, and science journalist Catherine Price, bestselling author of How to Break Up With Your Phone, the fight is not yet lost — and it can be won.

Though Haidt’s and Price’s previous books have been geared toward adults, the duo has teamed up for a new book that speaks directly to tweens and teens. The Amazing Generation is billed as a “handbook for living a happy and exciting life that isn’t hijacked by a smartphone” for kids 9 to 12 years old.
