Biography
Steve Huff is the former Deputy Digital Editor for Maxim (maxim.com). In addition to hundreds of digital articles covering a wide variety of subjects for the iconic men's magazine, he has also written for the Observer, Crime Watch Daily, Complex, and Village Voice Media. One of the original and most popular true crime bloggers, Steve appeared on CBS's 48 Hours Mystery, HLN, MSNBC and NBC's Dateline as a commentator on numerous high-profile criminal cases. For Village Voice Media, Steve launched True Crime Report—one of the first major crime blogs—singlehandedly reporting, writing, and editing for the site as pageviews climbed from zero in July 2007 to 20 million in September 2009. Though he branched out from solely covering true crime in 2010, Steve is still closely connected to the booming genre. Between 2017 and 2018 he wrote a true crime column for Real Clear Life/Inside Hook and in December 2019 he appeared as a guest on an episode of the new Investigation Discovery series, If I Should Die. Steve is the author of two official tie-ins for AMC's hit Breaking Bad prequel, Better Call Saul: DON'T GO TO JAIL! Saul Goodman's Guide to Keeping the Cuffs Off, and GET OFF THE GRID!: Saul Goodman's Guide to Staying Off the Radar. A classically-trained vocalist, Steve is an active performer and has performed secondary and leading roles with the Knoxville, Atlanta, and Greater Worcester Opera companies. Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, Steve lives with his wife, award-winning educator Dr. Dana Huff, in Worcester, Massachusetts.

By Steve Huff| Newser Verified Recent reports like this one from Futurism about the AI "bubble" popping notwithstanding, some companies are willing to pay big bucks for a brain that can truly understand the best uses of artificial intelligence. The Wall Street Journalreports that major employers are chasing data scientists and experts in machine learning with hefty six-figure salaries. Netflix recently caused a social media stir, for example, when it advertised a $900,000 a year position for its machine-learning platform.
By Steve Huff| MSN (US) Verified Back in 2019, the US homeless population jumped 2.7% from the previous year, the highest mark on record to date. This year, that mark will be obliterated, reports the Wall Street Journal. Its investigation projects an increase of 11%. Based on a survey of data from groups that help the homeless across the US, the newspaper pegs the total number at 577,000. An official estimate from the government, meant to represent a single night of homelessness in the nation, will be released later this year.
By Steve Huff| Newser Verified The dawn of easy self-publishing has been great for select independent authors, but colliding with the explosion of AI-aided (and AI-created) writing has resulted in a new set of problems—like the one encountered by author Jane Friedman, when she learned there were several books on Amazon under her name that she didn't write. Turns out they were AI-generated, and someone—a "huckster," Friedman wrote—simply appropriated a known author's name as a way to turn a quick profit.
