I was interviewed by an AI bot for a job

I couldn’t get past the uncanny valley of looking at an AI avatar listening to my answers.

‘Hacking’ the AI filters probably won’t get you the job.

Join me as I try out this viral AI cheating pen.

Videos on YouTube make it seem like one swipe of a scanning pen like this will give you all the answers. I tested it out on math, science, and history questions.

Hey Copilot, is it most definitely in stock?

Allow me to walk you through my experience of talking to Microsoft’s Copilot AI on Windows 11 for a week. From the world famous crystal caves of New Jersey to the foremost stocked shelves of BestBuy.com/11BestBuy.

Chickens, robots, and Wi-Fi ... oh my!

This summer, The Verge’s video team braved 90-degree temps to capture the smart home tech I test and use in my backyard.

From smart chicken coops to robot lawnmowers, smart sprinklers, AI-powered grills, and smart lighting, this tour shows how tech can help you manage, maintain, and get more out of your backyard.

OMG it’s so orange.

Allison Johnson walks us through Apple’s new iPhone 17 Pro models. Pre-review don’t-hold-me-to-it hot take: orange iPhone 17 Pro Max over the iPhone Air. ALL. DAY. Going to be so easy to find on my next camping trip. Anyway, I’m but a peasant to our Queen Allison. Here’s what she has to say:

The Verge’s video team is in 2nd place for a Webby!

A video I made, The real reasons Apple won’t put macOS on the iPad, is nominated for a Webby! We’re currently in second place with only two days left to vote, and we could use your help.

The video team and I would truly appreciate it if you could take a second to vote for us using this link. Thanks so much for your support!

AI-enhanced VHS.

Topaz Labs is letting users try out its Project Starlight diffusion AI model for enhancing and upscaling video, which generates a bunch of detail to less-than-perfect footage. Currently, the free limit is three 10-second clips per week, so I used it on some old VHS camcorder footage.

I’m sorry, Grandpa.

Tech trends and truffle fries.

Every year toward the end of our trip to CES, the Verge staff in Las Vegas get together for a team dinner before we head back home.

This year we filmed that dinner, and I moderated a little chat about the trends, vaporware, and other memorable tech from the show floor.

Weekend plans, locked.

CES 2025 officially wrapped up yesterday, but there was so much stuff that our team saw and wrote about and...smelled while on the ground in Las Vegas.

If your plans this weekend include catching up on all the news you may have missed from CES, there’s no better place to start than our annual best of video!

Do you use a Bluetooth turntable?

Though I like the idea of wirelessly connecting to a record player, I rarely use that function. If you do, let me know why!

Content Goblins is here!

In case you missed it, The Verge made a print magazine. I’ve seen it in person, and it’s beautiful. (I’m not just saying that because I’m on the cover in both human and goblin forms.) And now for a limited time, you can get your own with a Verge annual subscription.

“The gadget of the year is the Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses.”

That’s according to The Verge’s David Pierce. Our video team recently asked reporters from across our newsroom what they think the most memorable tech of 2024 was — and some of their answers might surprise you. Watch below to see if your favorite made our list.

DJI Mic Mini vs Rode Wireless Micro.

I’ve been testing out wireless microphones from Rode, DJI, Shure, Sennheiser, and others over the past few years — and they’re improving! Recently, both DJI and Rode released compact versions of their microphones, so I put them head-to-head in this video.

When any image could be AI, how will we know what isn’t?

Our latest video runs through the issues involved in resolving that conundrum, and the problems we may encounter if we can’t. Stick around till the end for a bonus “find the AI image” challenge!

Big TVs are getting bigger.

Becca Farsace and I pitched this video about finding the smallest television at CES 2024. But once we got to the show floor, we were swallowed up by gigantic 100+” screens, furniture centerpieces, and more TVs that turn into picture frames. As TV tech has progressed, have we forgotten about the tiny portables? Here’s our journey.

We took six pairs of headphones and a dummy head on the subway.

The Verge video team took a trip around NYC to compare noise-cancelling headphones from Apple, Sony, and Bose — including twenty-year-old QC-1s and a set of $1,300 aviation headphones. Then we sent them to an independent lab for more tests.

You can read more about those results here, but please watch me spend hours on a hot day outside for journalism.
