Nathan Fielder's new documentary turns Elizabeth Holmes' story into a mirror on authenticity
Nathan Fielder turns Elizabeth Holmes' story inside out, using documentary form to ask a question most biopics dodge: what does authenticity even mean when everyone is performing? By colliding his own persona with Holmes' carefully constructed one, he creates a mirror for our era. For readers tracking how technology reshapes behavior, our piece on Jensen Huang's shift toward **AI agents** offers a parallel exploration of performance and trust across industries.
Workshop papers deserve your time more than your travel budget
Workshop papers deserve your time more than your travel budget, yet the community often undervalues them. It's a strange reality: students submit three or four workshop papers while struggling to fund conference attendance. Workshops are for feedback, visibility, and discussion, not prestige. If you're chasing PhD-level credibility through volume alone, you're missing the point. Funding is scarce, even for main venues. Don't expect explicit support.

Why Pure Reasoning Reaches Its Limit Without Real-World Data
Reasoning alone has a hard ceiling. No matter how advanced non-physical AI becomes, it cannot predict the chaotic, messy reality of the physical world without a sensory and motor interface. We are asking for breakthroughs in science and technology, but those demands outstrip what pure logic can deliver. This isn't a limitation to be coded around; it's a fundamental gap. To truly transform our data-driven future, intelligence must touch the ground.
Discover clarity when reality blurs with AI-assisted perception
Lorde's take on AI glasses cuts through the hype with refreshing clarity. Standing on stage, she noted how "increasingly in our world, it gets harder and harder to know what is real," and she's right. That unease isn't about resisting progress; it's about demanding tools that serve us without eroding trust. We're watching the line between digital and physical blur, and that deserves scrutiny, not blind adoption.
