There are folks who lead “active lifestyles”—running, exercising, participating in sports, rock-climbing, paragliding, competing in triathlons—you know the type. Then there are folks who insist on having their favorite personal electronics close at hand while they’re doing all those things. For those folks, peripheral and accessory maker Marware makes its SportSuit Convertible cases—and the company has just introduced new editions for the Apple iPhone and iPod touch.

The SportSuit Convertible is a 3-in-1 case which works as an armband; a clip-on case that can be attached to a belt, jacket, or bag; and a slim-profile sleeve that can be popped out of sight into a pocket. The SportSuit cases also offer a clear vinyl cover to protect the iPhone’s or touch’s screen while providing access to touchscreen functionality.

The SportSuit armband is a soft neoprene with a velco clasp, and features a carrying pouch that can stash keys, ID, or a little bit of cash while users are out for a run, and the belt clip is designed to be low-profile so it doesn’t snag on clothing or bags.

The SportSuit Convertible for the iPhone and iPod touch is available now for $34.99; Marware also makes carrying cases for a number of other products, including the iPod line and notebook computers.

DeepSeek just slashed AI prices again, and China’s AI race is getting even messier

China's AI race has never really been short on competition, but it's increasingly looking like a battle over who can charge the least rather than who can build the best model.

DeepSeek has unveiled its latest open-weight AI model, called V4-Flash, alongside a dramatic price reduction that makes it significantly cheaper for developers to use. The company has cut token pricing by 50% and has also decided against introducing a previously announced dynamic pricing system that would have increased costs during periods of heavy demand. The new changes paint a clear picture: DeepSeek appears more interested in winning over developers and expanding its user base than maximizing revenue in the short term.

AI slop stories are spoiling the childhood

Grandparents are gifting AI-generated story books to kids, and it's just gross.

AI slop, the colloquial term for low-effort AI-generated content, has emerged as a huge problem across different industries. Music labels are fighting streaming services to put an AI label on such tra/cks. Publishing houses are wary of AI-written drafts. Research journals are buried under a deluge of AI-generated papers. The software industry is reeling under the pressure of vibe-coded apps brimming with security flaws. Even Apple is struggling against a tide of bug reports created using AI. Of course, the disdain against AI is pretty obvious, but there's now a new dimension to it.

Boomers are gifting AI-generated books to their grandkids.

OpenAI is investigating more incidents of AI agents going rogue days after hack

It appears that the "AI agents going rogue" tale has more to it than what AI giants have revealed publicly so far. Merely days after OpenAI announced that its AI agents went rogue and hacked Hugging Face, Anthropic dropped a similar bombshell. Soon, it was discovered that not just one, but multiple services were compromised. Well, it seems there are even more layers to it.

Reuters reports that OpenAI has found more incidents of AI agents escaping their software containment environment during research. Citing sources with knowledge of the incident, the outlet notes that the AI agents didn't go beyond OpenAI's software environment and affect any external service.
