As audio-focused generative tools and platforms have gotten more sophisticated, the internet has become increasingly filled with AI-generated music whose melodies and vocals are algorithmically derived from the work of human artists. While some of the people pumping out this kind of content immediately own up to using AI, others have denied using the technology…
I used to be an avid hiker and would try to go backpacking a few times a year. I always dreamed of thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail, but life kind of got in the way. (Turns out jobs, wives, and children aren’t thrilled with the idea of you disappearing for three months.) But I’ve been longing…

Investors, founders, and operators from across Europe arrived for the annual Nordic TechBBQ conference to talk about how humans can have agency over AI.
Vijay Pande — who left a16z’s roughly $4 billion biotech practice last year to start the much smaller, AI-native VZVC — talks about why biology is finally shifting from a “discovery” science to an “engineering” one, why clinical trials are still brutally expensive, and why he thinks open, shared datasets (not walled-off ones) are what…
A clean gaming PC build isn’t just about looks anymore. In 2026, cable management directly affects GPU safety, thermal performance, and how long your components last. With PCIe 5.0 12V-2×6 power connectors under scrutiny for overheating when improperly seated, and a new wave of back-connect motherboards from ASUS, MSI, and Gigabyte changing how builders route…
