iLuv Intros iSP100 Portable Speaker

Add as a preferred source on Google

Peripheral and accessory maker iLuv is known for its unique take on AV and portable media peripherals, and the company is showing its style once again with the new iSP100 portable speaker system. Designed to work with any media player, phone, or device that offers a stereo headphone output, the iSP100 isn’t designed to blow out your neighbors’ eardrums, but rather to deliver an immersive listening experience for an affordable price.

“iLuv is thrilled to bring consumers a powerful-sounding and ultra-portable speaker option that will set a standard for on-the-go music listening,” said iLuv sales VP Robert Caputo, in a statement. “Unlike other products on the market that feature mono sound and less than half the output power, the iLuv iSP100 raises the bar for portability and sound.”

The iSP100 claims to offer 720° Surround Sound (we guess that means you have to turn around twice to fully appreciate it), and iAura acoustic speaker technology. The unit operates off three AAA batteries or a DC adapter, pushes 2 Watts per channel, and weighs just a quarter pound. The unit ships with a carrying pound and features volume controls on its body. It works with iPods, iPhones, and any music player with a 3.5mm output jack.

The iSP100 should be available this month for $34.99.

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 logo on Microsoft surface

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.
