futurism.com Unknown 2025-08-05 21:17:58

Back in the stone age, landlords would have to go through the ridiculous process of meeting prospective tenants, showing them their potential homes, and sharing information on the rental. No longer. Thanks to a property tech company with the amazingly mawkish name Rently, landlords can now kick their feet up and relax — even more than they used to, that is. Rently's big idea? What it calls "self-guided touring," a system where would-be renters receive a one-time door code to tour apartments on

We still don't know why Linda Yaccarino stepped down as CEO of X on Tuesday. Her sudden abdication came off the back of a legendarily horrific freakout by the AI Grok, which saw the chatbot make a series of egregiously racist statements, claiming to be "MechaHitler" and praising Nazis over the course of a chaotic day. But if Yaccarino was fed up with what was going on at the company, she didn't show it. Her announcement was cheery, and her boss Elon Musk gave a curt thanks for her two years of

Will That Massive ‘Superman’ Revelation Impact the Future of DC?

If you’ve seen the movie, you know how it plays out. (And, if you haven’t, it’s a pretty big spoiler, so proceed with caution.) Either way, it’s a bombshell revelation that changes not just the character but the entire trajectory of the movie, and so we had to talk to the people most directly affected by it.
