What’s Driving the Turnover at Musk’s AI Startup?

Elon Musk’s xAI has lost a large number of top executives in recent months—so many that onlookers have begun to wonder what’s causing the high turnover rate. Now, new reporting from the Wall Street Journal suggests some of those executives may have left due to internal conflict over the management style at the company and disagreements over its financial projections. The list of executives who have recently departed Musk’s firm includes Mike Liberatore, the company’s former chief financial offi

How robotic beehives use AI to protect bees from climate change

Bees are critical for ensuring an abundant food supply year-round, but the bee population is in big trouble. More than one-third of the crops we eat are pollinated by bees, but 40% of bee colonies are collapsing each year, California-based Beewise said. One reason is climate change – specifically, stronger hurricanes, more frequent fires and the use of more pesticides. The wooden beehive was invented around 1850 for commercial pollination, but these basic boxes are not very protective and not

Tesla's Robotaxis Have Already Gotten Into Numerous Accidents

Tesla has been caught hiding details of three separate robotaxi accidents that happened since the launch of the service. As Electrek reports, the Elon Musk-led company reported the three crashes, which occurred in the early days of its pilot robotaxi service in Austin, to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA.) At the time, the company's robotaxi fleet of modified Model Y vehicles only consisted of "ten to 20" vehicles, according to Musk, which even had safety drivers sitti

Discord will launch a native Meta Quest app next year

In addition to new hardware announcements, Meta had software news to share during its Meta Connect 2025 conference today. The company revealed that Discord will be making a native app for the Meta Quest headset. According to Meta, the native window app will be available some time in 2026. The development makes sense. VR is a platform with a lot of gaming presence, so having Discord for easy social and voice connections while playing is a win for players and a natural match for the two businesse

The FTC is suing Ticketmaster for illegally ‘coordinating’ with brokers

The latest targets in the White House’s on-again-off-again antitrust war are Ticketmaster and Live Nation, two villains that everyone appears to agree on. The Federal Trade Commission is accusing Ticketmaster (which owns Live Nation) of allowing ticket brokers to illegally exceed limits on purchases and then profiting off the inflated resale value. Customers often pay significantly more than the face value because resellers have snatched up all the tickets. And when a ticket is resold through Ti

Uber is trying drone delivery again

In Brief Uber will test using drones for Uber Eats deliveries in some U.S. markets by the end of this year, part of a new partnership with Israeli startup Flytrex. The partnership will also include a small investment in Flytrex, though Uber told Bloomberg News the investment amount was not material. The deal comes at a time when Uber has been re-engaging with some technologies that it used to develop in-house. Uber has been partnering with autonomous vehicle companies like Waymo to offer self-

Deliveroo founder Will Shu to step down as CEO after DoorDash takeover

LONDON — Deliveroo CEO Will Shu is set to step down from the food delivery company he co-founded over a decade ago. Shu, who established Deliveroo in 2013 with childhood friend Greg Orlowski, said Thursday that he will step down as CEO after its takeover by U.S. rival DoorDash is completed. DoorDash announced its deal to buy the British online takeout platform in May. The acquisition values Deliveroo at £2.9 billion ($4 billion). "I have decided that now is the right time for me to step down,

Uber will (once again) test delivering food by drone this year

Uber Eats is testing out drone deliveries yet again, this time in partnership with Flytrex. To note, Flytrex is one of the drone operators behind Walmart's drone deliveries and already delivers food in some parts of the US. It's one of the four providers that received authorization by the FAA for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations, in which pilots can't see the aircraft they're controlling directly. The partnership, the companies said, will enable Uber Eats customers to receive order

10 of the Best Movies to Stream on Peacock

Peacock's movie library is solid. I say that as someone who regularly forgets to check out the NBC Universal-owned streaming service when I'm in the mood for a movie night. We get so used to tapping into the big dogs like Netflix and Disney Plus, and they are chock full of good stuff, but Peacock deserves its flowers, too. There's always something cool to watch on Peacock, no matter what genre you're looking for. Then there's the Universal part of the equation. Universal Pictures knows its way

You can hold on to your butts thanks to DNA that evolved in fish

Evolution has adapted the digits of mammals for an enormous range of uses, from our opposable thumbs to the spindly digits that support bat wings to the robust bones that support the hoofs of horses. But how we got digits in the first place hasn't been entirely clear. The fish that limbed vertebrates evolved from don't have obvious digit equivalents, and the most common types of fish just have a large collection of rays supporting their fins. Despite this uncertainty, we have identified some ge

New Bill Aims to Block Both Online Adult Content and VPNs

If you live in Michigan, you might not be able to legally use a VPN soon if a new bill is passed into law. On Sept. 11, Michigan Republican representatives proposed far-reaching legislation banning adult internet content. The bill, called the Anticorruption of Public Morals Act and advanced by six Republican representatives, would ban a wide variety of adult content online, ranging from ASMR and adult manga to AI content and any depiction of transgender people. It also seeks to ban all use of V

Americans want AI to stay out of their personal lives

A new study from Pew suggests that Americans aren’t particularly optimistic about AI. A full 50 percent of respondents said they were more concerned than excited about the use of AI in their daily lives. That’s down ever so slightly from 52 percent in 2023, but it’s up significantly from 37 percent in 2021. Americans expressed a number of concerns about AI, chief among them that it will negatively impact our ability to think creatively and form meaningful relationships with other people. Just 1

The AI Layoffs Have Come for Freelance Marketplace Fiverr

Fiverr, the online marketplace for freelancers, announced that it is laying off about 250 full-time staff members as part of an effort to transform itself into an “AI-first company.” The layoffs will affect about 30% of the company’s staff and are part of what CEO Micha Kaufman called a “painful reset” in a message to his staff, which he also posted on X—though certainly one that will be more painful for the workers losing their jobs than for him.

Samsung 870 QVO 4TB SATA SSD-s: how are they doing after 4 years of use?

I’ve been running four Samsung 870 QVO 4TB SATA SSD-s for a while now. They’re old enough to be popping up on the second-hand market, so I thought it would be good to provide a few additional data points for those thinking about buying one. Mine have mainly been used in a home server setting, with one also being used as a backup drive at times. I initially got these drives because I found the noise that hard drives generated to be unacceptably high in a small apartment. They’re also quite a bit

Kaufman describes this process as returning to "startup mode" and writes that his ultimate goal is to turn Fiverr into "an AI-first company that's leaner, fast

Google’s experimental Windows app is better than Microsoft’s built-in search
