gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2026-03-18 14:05:03

Billionaire conspiracy theorist Elon Musk really doesn’t like it when Grok says anything that contradicts his far-right worldview. And that’s exactly what his AI chatbot did late Tuesday when an X user asked whether people on the political right or the political left have been more violent since President Donald Trump was first elected in 2016. Grok said it was people on the right. Musk responded that he was working to fix Grok so it wouldn’t do that again. It all started on Tuesday in a tweet

Ahead of the release of Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the accompanying food tie-in blitz unleashes a first look at the movie’s take on Giganto in a Little Caesars pizza ad. Currently, the chain is pushing its themed pizza with toppings (or lack thereof) representing different members of the Fantastic Four. Getting a cute little comic book nod in this ad was unexpected, to say the least. Giganto’s first appearance came in Marvel’s First Family comic book debut, which gets homa

When the Trump Organization announced its new Trump Mobile cell service and gold colored T1 phone -- complete with an American flag on the back -- it raised a lot of questions. While most of them focused on the numerous mistakes and typos on the Trump Mobile site -- some of which have been fixed -- other errors and questionable policies, like calling RAM storage, not identifying the handset's processor or the fact that you can't get a refund for the T1 phone raised several flags for us.

Spanish blackout report: Power plants meant to stabilize voltage didn’t

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-03-18 14:15:24

The blackout that took down the Iberian grid serving Spain and Portugal in April was the result of a number of smaller interacting problems, according to an investigation by the Spanish government. The report concludes that several steps meant to address a small instability made matters worse, eventually leading to a self-reinforcing cascade where high voltages caused power plants to drop off the grid, thereby increasing the voltage further.

OpenAI researchers say they’ve discovered hidden features inside AI models that correspond to misaligned “personas,” according to new research published by the company on Wednesday. By looking at an AI model’s internal representations — the numbers that dictate how an AI model responds, which often seem completely incoherent to humans — OpenAI researchers were able to find patterns that lit up when a model misbehaved.

Facebook will soon roll out support for passkeys on Android and iOS

Facebook is rolling out support for passkeys on both iOS and Android, the social network announced on Wednesday. Passkey logins make it harder for bad actors to remotely access your accounts because they require physical access to your phone. Unlike standard logins, passkeys use Face ID or Touch ID, a PIN, or a physical security authentication key to validate logins. Passkeys remove the need to rely on username and password combinations, which can be susceptible to phishing and other issues.
