Chipotle Wants to Drop a Burrito on Your Head with New Drone Delivery
Chipotle says it’s jumping on the drone delivery bandwagon. This week, the company announced a new pilot program in Texas that will test the viability of airdropping customers’ orders into their backyards for them. A press release published Thursday makes the whole process sound quite easy as far as drone-robot hybrid delivery burritos go. Certain customers in the Rowlette suburb of Dallas will be able to download the app for Zipline, Chipotle’s...
U.S. Government Now 'Controls' 10% of Intel, Trump Says
President Donald Trump announced Friday that the U.S. government would be taking a 10% stake in Intel, the struggling U.S.-based chip manufacturer. But the president’s choice of words will definitely raise more than a few eyebrows, especially since the Trump regime has previously said the federal government will have no corporate governance role at the tech company. “It is my Great Honor to report that the United States of America now fully owns...
Ghislaine Maxwell Says She First Met Elon Musk at Sergey Brin's Birthday Party
Elon Musk infamously threw Donald Trump under the bus in June when he insisted that the president was “in the Epstein files,” a reference to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. But a newly released interview with Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell might put the spotlight back on Musk when it comes to all things Epstein. Maxwell, who’s in prison for sex trafficking a minor, was recently interviewed by Todd Blanche, the president’s former...
Much of the World Stops Sending Mail to U.S.
Do you have a package coming your way from overseas? (I do, it’s a gift, and I’m very annoyed.) Hopefully it’s not urgent, because it’s going to be a minute before that thing gets to our shores. Questions surrounding the Trump administration’s ongoing tariff regime, including a policy to end an exemption from taxing small packages, have resulted in postal services across the world simply choosing not to ship to the United States until things get...
Despite Dismal Sales, Tesla Thinks You'll Pay More for a Cybertruck
Tesla’s Cybertruck is widely viewed as an “unmitigated” commercial disaster, but that hasn’t stopped the company from deploying a variety of sales gimmicks to try to squeeze just a little more money out of the flop vehicle. This week, Tesla launched a new version of its most expensive Cybertruck variants, known as the “Cyberbeast.” Tesla has marketed the “beast” as its most heavy-duty, high-powered variant, and originally promoted it with a video...
TikTok Shifts to AI Moderation With Mass Layoffs
Social media giant TikTok made a major symbolic move today by canning hundreds of UK and Asian moderators as it attempts to integrate artificial intelligence into more processes throughout the company. The Chinese tech giant said that workers displaced in the move will have priority in hiring if they meet unspecified criteria. The company did not disclose the exact number of people laid off from its 2,500 in the UK, the Wall Street Journal...
Autonomous Vehicles to Hit the Streets of NYC for the First Time
As if New York’s taxi drivers didn’t get squeezed enough by the Ubers and Lyfts of the world, New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced on Friday that the New York Department of Transportation has granted Google’s autonomous vehicle subsidiary, Waymo, a permit to test its self-driving cars in the city. It’ll be the first fully self-driving car to operate within the city. Waymo will roll out eight vehicles in New York City starting in September, and...
Are EV Charging Stations Bad for Your Health?
Charging up your EV today? Don’t stand too close to it. The air around electric vehicle chargers fast charging cars had twice the level of dangerous fine particles than regular urban air, a new study found. Researchers from UCLA measured 50 chargers across the Los Angeles metropolitan area, most of them Tesla Superchargers, and found that they had levels of fine particulate matter between 15 to 20 micrograms per cubic meter. That’s far higher than...
Elon Musk's New Software Company Is the Opposite of Microsoft
Elon Musk, the world’s wealthiest gooner, has a new software company. And in typical Musk fashion, he’s given it a name that only a teenager stuck in a 54-year-old’s body would truly appreciate. The name is Macrohard, a play off the name Microsoft, and Musk knows it’s an immature joke about penises. But that kind of humor has never stopped him from raising billions of dollars before. “Join @xAI and help build a purely AI software company called...
Google's Next Smart Speaker Is All About AI
Google has a fresh smart home speaker to go along with its upcoming Gemini for Home upgrade, according to new leaks.
Whether by accident or as a covert tease, Google showed a glimmer of what Google smart speakers have in store. This week, during Google’s annual Pixel hardware event, a never-before-seen speaker slipped into a prerecorded video, and now Android Headlines says it’s confirmed that said speaker is, in...
This $1,000 Drone Is Built for the High Seas
Zero Zero Robotics, the makers of the HoverAir line of drones, is suddenly more taken with water than air. The upcoming $1,000 HoverAir Aqua—which is currently crowdfunding on Indiegogo—may be the first drone built for Atlanteans or anybody who spends their free time on open waters. The one major drawback will hinder your total flight times while reminding you of your grade school lessons about why electricity and water don’t mix. Welcome to the...
Even Elon Musk's Fans Are Making Fun of Him Now
Elon Musk has spent recent weeks promoting his AI tool Grok with an endless parade of animated women in scanty clothing. And while that’s not entirely surprising, the reaction from Musk’s own fans on X is becoming quite comical. Because even people who really like the billionaire Tesla CEO are starting to poke fun at the idea that he seems obsessed with AI-generated sex dolls. “It appears Elon has shifted focus from Mars to Uranus,” one Musk fan...
Bank Fires Workers in Favor of AI Chatbot, Rehires Them After Chatbot Is Terrible at the Job
Companies all over the world are currently racing to shrink their workforces and replace them with AI. Often, it seems, this isn’t working out for the firms involved. Case in point: A bank in Australia recently did so, but then had to ask its workers to come back after it turned out that the chatbot that it had launched to replace them couldn’t cut the mustard. Last month, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia announced that it would be laying off 45...
Tesla Will Use A Powerful New Weapon in AI Race
Tesla Inc. will partner up with AI darlings DeepSeek and Bytedance Ltd.’s Doubao on new tools in its cars in China, according to a document uploaded to Tesla’s official website. Bloomberg reports that Doubao will work on voice command-related tools like the temperature in a Tesla, navigation and in-car entertainment, while DeepSeek will handle the AI side of things.

The Semantic Drift Crisis in Healthcare AI
Rethinking Large-Scale Clinical Data ModelsBy Luis Cisneros, NodesianThe widespread adoption of artificial intelligence in healthcare has been driven by a compelling yet potentially flawed assumption — that more data inevitably yields better clinical insights. This paradigm has shaped the development of massive data aggregation platforms, with Epic’s Cosmos and CoMET systems exemplifying this approach through their analysis of longitudinal data from over 300 million patient records. While the...
Self-Proclaimed Nazi Kanye West Announces 'New Economy, Built on Chain'
The artist formerly known as Kanye West (he changed his name to “Ye” legally in 2018) is, in addition to being a self-proclaimed “Nazi,” now a denizen of the web3 world he once derided. On Wednesday, West took to social media to announce YZY coin. “The official Yeezy token just dropped,” said a bored-looking West in a video posted on his X account. Within hours, YZY had climbed to a market cap of some $3 billion, Wired reports. Not long afterward,...
Tesla Takes So Long to Report Crash Data, Even Trump's Regulators Are Taking Notice
It turns out it’s actually possible for a corporation to drag its feet for so long that even the Trump administration takes issue with it. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced that it will investigate Tesla’s habit of taking months to submit accident reports that involve the company’s driver-assistance technology, according to a report from Reuters. Just how late is Tesla getting its crash report information to the NHTSA?...
Airlines Sued for Selling 'Window' Seats Without a Window View
Have you ever paid for a window seat on an airplane that didn’t actually have a window? You could be part of a class action lawsuit in the near future. Delta and United Airlines have been sued this week in federal court for misrepresenting their seat offerings online.
