What are the chances of real romance via a missed connection'? And has the internet turned these interactions from the stuff of romcoms to just a bit creepy?In the beginning, Darcy had a boyfriend and an aisle seat. It was 29 March 2000, and she was the last person to board the plane from Atlanta, Georgia, to Sacramento in California. Hot, sweaty and tired from running to catch the flight, she was frustrated to see that someone else was in her seat. I'm sorry," the stranger said, do you mind switching with me?" The thing was, he explained, his wife was afraid of flying - he wanted to sit by her. Darcy McGaffic is 6ft tall - there's a reason she had booked to sit in the aisle of the exit row. The stranger gestured to his seat, right at the back of the plane. A middle seat. Darcy said: Fine." She laughed, made her way back, sat down, and then another stranger opened their mouth. I wouldn't have done that," the man next to her smiled.That man was Scott Germond - just a stranger named Scott back then. They spoke for the entire five-hour duration of their flight; Darcy, who was in her 30s, told him about her job sorting out the instant replays" for sports tournaments, and the pair told stupid jokes" that made each other laugh. At one point, Scott asked Darcy if she was dating anyone. She hesitated. Technically she was, but she had already decided to break up with her boyfriend the night before, because they had beenon the phone and he hadn't stopped talking abouthis ex-wife. Darcy stumbled over Scott's question. She couldn't tell him the truth: Well, I'm dating somebody, but I'm thinking about dumping him because I might like you." Continue reading...

Britain's Bill Gates' could spend up to 25 years in jail if convicted of fraud in the 2011 sale of Autonomy to Hewlett-PackardMike Lynch, the technology tycoon, once dubbed Britain's Bill Gates, has spent the past 10 months in San Francisco, with a GPS bracelet strapped to his ankle and two armed guards monitoring him around the clock.

Those who - like me - have spent years looking for love on a six-inch screen know the pitfalls of these platformsOn Valentine's Day this year, a lawsuit was brought by six people in the US against Match Group, the company behind dating apps such as Tinder, Hinge and Match. The suit blames dating apps for game-like tactics that, they say, contribute to addictive behaviour, making miserable swiping addicts of us all.Match Group denies this, calling the claims ridiculous". But anyone who, like me, has spent years on and off the apps knows that there are clear parallels between love algorithms and online gaming - only with dating apps, we are the commodities.Georgina Lawton is the author of Raceless: In Search of Family, Identity and the Truth About Where I Belong Continue reading...
Thirty years after failing his grade two exam, our writer is banging out Handel, Billie Eilish and Elton John - and he's not alone. With apps to help with learning, there's never been a better time to tinkle the ivoriesMisplaced pride may have clouded my memories of learning the piano as a kid in the early 90s. I can still picture the piano itself, a knackered upright that was so old it had brass candleholders. I definitely remember my teacher, Issie, a local jazz musician. And I thought I'd done pretty well until ... what, grade three? Maybe even four?Forgot you failed grade two!" came a recent WhatsApp message from my mother, who had excavated the marking form from a filing cabinet. That made two of us. Continue reading...

In this week's newsletter: To win over the critics, a second instalment of the $1bn box-office smash should focus more on storytelling than nostalgic iconography Don't get Pushing Buttons delivered to your inbox? Sign up hereWith classic oblivious timing, Nintendo chose 10 March - or Mar10 day, as the company likes to style it - to announce that it is working with Illumination Studios on another Mario movie, even though it was the Oscars that day and absolutely nobody was paying attention. Last year's Mario movie was a smash hit, grossing $1bn and finally ending the long era of the cursed video game film adaptation once and for all, so it's not surprising that another one is in the works for April 2026.What is surprising is that it's not necessarily going to be a direct sequel. Co-directors Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic and writer Matthew Fogel will return, but neither Nintendo nor Illumination committed to calling the new film a sequel. In a video broadcast announcing a new animated film based on the world of Super Mario Bros", Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto (that's Mario's dad) said: This time, we're thinking about broadening Mario's world further, and it'll have a bright and fun story."

Do you have to brush your own hair, own an umbrella or keep at least one hand on your steering wheel? Don't blame these visionary thinkersThings can only get better", D:Ream promised, but they were wrong, and so were most people in history who have tried to predict the future.It never stopped us from trying, though, and a few visionaries have been pretty good at it. There was Leonardo da Vinci, of course, with his helicopters and fridges, and Joseph Glanvill, who in 1661 suggested moon voyages and communication using magnetic waves" might be a thing. Civil engineer John Elfreth Watkins, writing in 1900, predicted mobile phones, ready meals and global digital media (Photographs will be telegraphed from any distance. If there be a battle in China a hundred years hence, snapshots of its most striking events will be published in the newspapers an hour later"). Visionary US cartoonist Arthur Radebaugh's late 1950s and early 1960s Closer Than We Think series conjured wrist-worn TVs, robot-run warehouses and bloodless surgery. Continue reading...

High prices, mega mergers and union busting are just water under the bridge judging from the scramble for a new bagWhat's so special about Trader Joe's new mini totes? Aesthetics-wise, nothing: the canvas bag resembles LL Bean's ubiquitous totes. The only difference is that these come stamped with the name of a supermarket chain known for its fancy cheeses, frozen dinners -and the fact that it's currently one of the corporations lobbying to declare the National Labor Relations Board unconstitutional. Union drip, these are not.Still, there are plenty of people who approach these bags with the same enthusiasm that Trader Joe's lawyers reportedly reserve for union busting. Young women on TikTok have taken to decorating their mini Trader Joe's totes with embroidery, patches and paint. It all looks very summer camp. CNN reported that the tote has reached a cult status not seen since ... well, just a few weeks ago, when pink Stanley tumblers took the world (or at least Target shopping aisles) by storm.

In the near future humanity is doomed and our options are being determined by AI simulation - unfortunately for us, the AI doesn't seem particularly bothered if we surviveThis intriguing sci-fi thriller is a throwback to the kind of cerebral teleplays and low-budget movies that flourished in the 1960s: ripe with gloomy lighting and dystopian pessimism, but with barely enough money in the budget to pay for more than two sets. Think On the Beach from 1959, or Seconds from 1966 - but then lower your expectations because it's not anywhere in their league. But it's not bad, and the subject is timely.The time is a couple of decades in the future, and humanity has accepted that we've messed up the planet beyond repair. The only answer is to start colonies off-world, starting with the moon. Helping to sow these seeds for the future is an AI called Jay that runs simulations to calculate risks and resolutions. All that is explained in a crawl and with faux news footage. The drama properly begins at a rural house that looks like something from Grand Designs; it's the home of Jay-creator Sam (Kemi-Bo Jacobs) and astronaut Anderson (Simon Merrells, one of those actors you're sure you've seen before even if you can't quite place him). He is going to be the head of the next crucial mission to the moon, which launches tomorrow. The couple's last night together is interrupted by the arrival of Sam's employee Charlie (Hermione Corfield), who is troubled that Jay's simulations posit not a trip of a few days but one going to the Jupiter moon Europa, and from there the titular million days journey to Alpha Centauri. Quicker than you can sing Daisy, Daisy, Give Me Your Answer Do," the trio start to suspect Jay has gone rogue and has her own agenda. Continue reading...

Sasha Issenberg considers attempts to distort electoral reality on both sides of the great American divideMost of Joe Biden's past supporters see him as too old.

From the academic who warns of a robot uprising to the workers worried for their future - is it time we started paying attention to the tech sceptics?Eliezer Yudkowsky, a 44-year-old academic wearing a grey polo shirt, rocks slowly on his office chair and explains with real patience - taking things slowly for a novice like me - that every single person we know and love will soon be dead. They will be murdered by rebellious self-aware machines. The difficulty is, people do not realise," Yudkowsky says mildly, maybe sounding just a bit frustrated, as if irritated by a neighbour's leaf blower or let down by the last pages of a novel. We have a shred of a chance that humanity survives."It's January. I have set out to meet and talk to a small but growing band of luddites, doomsayers, disruptors and other AI-era sceptics who see only the bad in the way our spyware-steeped, infinitely doomscrolling world is tending. I want to find out why these techno-pessimists think the way they do. I want to know how they would render change. Out of all of those I speak to, Yudkowsky is the most pessimistic, the least convinced that civilisation has a hope. He is the lead researcher at a nonprofit called the Machine Intelligence Research Institute in Berkeley, California, and you could boil down the results of years of Yudkowsky's theorising there to a couple of vowel sounds: Oh fuuuuu-!"

Laws in California have yet to catch up to autonomous vehicles, even though hundreds are already on the roadAutonomous vehicles in San Francisco are exempt from traffic tickets if there is nobody in the driver's seat, according to the San Francisco police department (SFPD), underscoring ongoing legal and safety concerns surrounding the expanding technology. California law has not caught up to the cars, even though they are already on the road, say public safety agencies and experts.SFPD policy states that officers can make a traffic stop of autonomous vehicles (AVs) for violations, but can only issue a citation if there is a safety driver in the vehicle overseeing its operations. Since June 2022, autonomous vehicles have been permitted to operate without safety drivers as long as they are inside the city limits. Officers can issue citations to the registered owner of an unoccupied vehicle in absentia for non-moving violations such as parking or registration offenses but not violations like speeding, running a red light, driving in the wrong lane or making an illegal turn.

By reusing and repurposing existing writing into viral fragments on Twitter, the account functioned like today's chatbots. The Guardian spoke to Jacob Bakkila, the human behind the accountMore than a decade before an AI-powered chatbot could do your homework, help you make dinner or pass the bar exam, there was @Horse_ebooks. The primitive predecessor to today's chatbot renaissance began as a Twitter account in 2010, tweeting automated excerpts from ebooks that, decontextualized, took on unexpected and strangely poetic meanings.Purportedly a spambot, the account surfaced quotes from ebooks that went viral for their absurdist fragments - phrases like Hello saxophone," COULD THIS BE THE", and Today we are lucky to be talking". It amassed more than 200,000 followers at its peak and now, despite being inactive for a decade, the account still holds 131,000 followers. Its most memorable quip - everything happens so much" - still resonates today. Continue reading...
