Tech Pulse 7/27/26

<p>This week on Tech Pulse, we narrate two articles spanning autonomous vehicle safety and social media's staying power.</p><p>A new safety study puts robotaxis under the microscope, comparing crash rates between autonomous vehicles and human drivers across four major U.S. cities. The numbers look striking, but researchers admit a major catch in how that data gets collected. Meanwhile, U.S. senators are raising alarms about whether one automaker's self-driving safety claims can be trusted, accusing the company of cherry-picking numbers to look safer than it really is.</p><p>A social app once dismissed as a hastily built rival to a billionaire's platform has quietly grown into something enormous. Half a billion people now check in monthly, drawn less by breaking news than by fandoms and a nostalgic vibe reminiscent of an earlier internet. But with no revenue numbers released, one question hangs over the growth: can it actually turn into real money?</p><p>Aftersight is a media organization that serves individuals with barriers to print.

<p>This week on Tech Pulse, we narrate two articles spanning AI health advice and childhood play.</p><p>A tech columnist hands a decade of his Apple Watch data to two AI chatbots and asks a simple question: how healthy is his heart? The answers swing wildly, from a failing grade to a passing one, depending on which bot he asks, and sometimes even when he asks the same bot twice. Doctors call the results baseless, raising questions about trusting a machine that can't make up its mind with our health data.</p><p>A toy giant is quietly wiring intelligence into its classic building blocks, embedding chips that light up, roar, and battle without touching a screen. The move follows a rocky stretch and a bet that kids crave surprise as much as instructions. Not everyone is convinced the upgrade earns its keep — some worry it replaces imagination rather than fueling it.</p><p>Aftersight is a media organization that serves individuals with barriers to print.

<p>This week on Tech Pulse, we narrate 3 articles spanning workplace automation, human cognition, and the sharing economy.</p><p>Administrative assistants have watched their profession shrink for two decades, and artificial intelligence threatens to speed the decline. But many are turning the technology into an advantage, reclaiming hours once lost to note-taking.</p><p>New research suggests leaning on AI can erode the skills it's meant to support, a pattern researchers call cognitive surrender. Consultants, students, and professionals show the same trend: sharper results with AI, then a drop once it's gone.</p><p>A backyard pool is becoming the summer's hottest rental commodity, as homeowners open theirs to strangers for a fee. One Alabama pool draws over a thousand guests a year, and regulators are sorting out who's liable when things go wrong.</p><p>Aftersight is a media organization that serves individuals with barriers to print.
