GeForce RTX 5070, MacBook Air, vishing attacks, anti-aging pill, Skype, Alexa Plus, Samsung screens, Volvo ES90, Sistine Chapel and Man in the Moon. One of my goals for 2025 was to find more ways that AI can increase my productivity. One of the most visible examples of ways I’ve used it is in the graphics that accompany various blog posts. While I’ve used it to write some content, none of that content has been in the form of blog posts. There are also some other graphics I’ve created that will appear in the near future in a variety of uses. This learning journey has its frustrating moments, but also some exciting results. You’ll find all of the tech news of the week in the stories listed below.
