The Internet Is Not Disappearing. The Way We Use It Is. From ARPANET and the dot-com crash to AI agents, digital borders and a web that may no longer need a browser. From a small network connecting research computers to a global infrastructure serving billions, the internet has transformed how humanity communicates. Now AI agents may change how we experience it once again. Imagine this: you need to replace a broken washing machine. You tell an assistant your budget, the size of your apartment and the delivery date. It compares independent reviews, checks which models actually fit through your doorway, finds a reputable retailer and returns with three sensible choices. You approve one. The machine arrives on Tuesday. You never visit a search results page. You never open ten browser tabs. You may never see the retailer’s website at all. For most of the web’s history, this would have sounded like a triumph. The internet was built to move information between computers, and the web ...

 Who Will Own the Next Space Station? The Private Race to Replace the ISS NASA wants to move from operating the International Space Station to buying time aboard privately owned successors. Vast, Axiom, Starlab and Orbital Reef promise new science and new markets. But who gets access when an essential laboratory becomes a business? Private companies are racing to build the next generation of orbital stations. But who will control humanity's future in low Earth orbit?

Alan Turing and the Machines We Haven't Finished Building By Alex Kennedy   |   Minds That Changed the Future   |   October 29, 2026 Alan Turing helped define the foundations of modern computing, explored the limits of algorithms and raised questions about machine intelligence that remain relevant today. Editorial illustration by Next Horizon. Two text conversations. Five minutes to decide which correspondent is human. In a study published in May 2026, judges chose GPT-4.5 over a real human as the human participant in 73% of trials when the model had been prompted to adopt a convincing persona. Without that prompt, its success rate fell to 36%. The finding tells us something remarkable about how machines converse. It tells us considerably less about what they understand. The result has an obvious connection to Alan Turing, whose name has become shorthand for making a computer sound human. Yet that shorthand misses the larger story. Before chatbots, before ele...

Can You Really Make Money With AI in 2026? The Truth Behind Trading Bots, AI Books, Stock Art and Faceless Videos The internet is full of stories about earning money while artificial intelligence does the work. Some are real. Some are marketing. And the distinction is usually hidden in the part of the business nobody puts in the thumbnail. AI can help one person create what once required an entire team. But turning those creations into real income is a different challenge. The pitch is difficult to resist. Ask AI which stocks to buy. Publish books on Amazon without writing them. Fill stock-photo sites with generated images. Build a YouTube channel that never shows your face. Somewhere in the video, usually next to a screenshot of impressive earnings, comes the reassuring phrase: the AI does most of the work. Sometimes that is even true. The problem is the part left out of the screenshot. A book can be finished without finding a reader. A channel can collect a million views with...
