It’s kind of crazy to think that Amazon Prime Day is almost over and there’s only one day left! But the good news is that there are still a ton of Prime Day deals on all kinds of products and devices from air fryers to robotic vacuum cleaners. There is a near-endless stream of computer and laptop deals, too. It’s the perfect time to upgrade your setup.

Today, Amazon has heavily discounted the price of Samsung’s Galaxy Book Pro laptop computer, which is a desirable no-frills laptop — at least that’s what Samsung is saying. The price is now $1,150, which means you’re saving $150 off the full price, not including the free shipping and delivery. The deal is for the 512GB model, and you can check out more specs below.

The Samsung Galaxy Book Pro is a productivity-focused laptop computer. Inside is an 11th-Gen Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage. The gorgeous 15.6-inch AMOLED display offers an incredible visual experience. This also marks the first time that an AMOLED screen made an appearance in Samsung’s Galaxy Book series. In Digital Trends’ Galaxy Book Pro hands-on, our reviewers said the design is “shockingly thin” and it took their breath away! Despite that, it manages to be rigid and durable which is almost unheard of for something so thin and low-profile.

The rechargeable battery will last for up to 20 hours of use on a single charge which is insane. Additional features include Wi-Fi 6E which offers much faster speeds than older Wi-Fi standards, up to three times the norm when the connection is solid.

Amazon is offering the 512GB model of the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro for $150 off the full price ($1,300). That brings the total to $1,149 plus free shipping, free delivery, and free returns for Prime members. Only the Mystic Blue model is on sale, and we have no idea how long this deal will last. More than likely it will be gone by tomorrow, so act soon if you’re interested.

Anthropic warns of imminent self-replicating AI that might even work off an oven or TV

Self-replicating AI could be merely months away, and tests show it can run on the devices sitting at your home.

Illustration of dangerous AI.

Over the past few weeks, nearly every AI lab has released frontier AI models. Earlier today, Google started rolling out Gemini 4, Argon, hot on the heels of Meta announcing its Muse Wonder frontier AI models to compete against the best from OpenAI and Anthropic's Claude. This relentless pace of AI model release comes at a time when the same AI labs are calling for development slowdown and increased regulation, following a series of concerning incidents where these AI models went rogue and broke into private, as well as government-owned, websites.

Now, Anthropic has dropped a chilling set of predictions about the capabilities of these AI models after running a series of tests. The company claims that small AI models could be merely a few months away from self-replicating and turning into a dangerous swarm. More importantly, they won't require a massive data center or an uber-powerful computer to do so. On the contrary, the lab claims that these self-replicating AI swarms will need something with as little computing power as an average Internet-connected device, like a smart oven or an Android TV box.

Gemini 4 Argon is finally available for developers, businesses, and paid users

Google’s most capable Gemini model is now rolling out more widely, but free users are still left out.

Gemini 4 Aragon AI model launched by Google

Google unveiled Gemini 4 Argon at the end of September, and on paper, it looked like the company’s strongest answer yet to the best models from OpenAI and Anthropic. There was just one fairly big problem. Almost nobody could actually use it. At launch, Argon was limited to a small batch of testers, trusted partners, and government work, while Google continued testing the model before a wider release. Two weeks later, Google is finally opening the gates.

Gemini 4 Argon is now available globally to developers and enterprises through the paid Gemini API tier, AI Studio, and Google’s Gemini platform. Google AI Ultra subscribers can also access it through Antigravity, while both Pro and Ultra subscribers can use Argon inside the Gemini app and AI Mode in Search.
