Tesla shows off its first fully autonomous delivery to convince us its self-driving cars work well

Tesla's robotaxi service may have had some early hitches, but the company said it just successfully delivered a car autonomously. Using the same robotaxi technology, Tesla showed the delivery process of a Model Y from its Gigafactory Texas in Austin to a customer with a roughly 30-minute journey as seen in a video posted on X. Unlike the robotaxi service launch last week, the automated delivery had no safety monitor, nor anyone behind the wheel. Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, also posted on X that the

Substack Is Having a Moment—Again. But Time Is Running Out

Before June 8, the skilled and respected ABC News television journalist Terry Moran was neither a household name nor political lightning rod. That changed abruptly when Moran posted on X that Donald Trump’s deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller was “a world-class hater,” followed by an addendum that the president was a hater as well. (The post was later taken down.) While the statements were certainly defendable, they apparently violated ABC policy, and Moran was suspended, then dismissed. Moran,

Trump’s ‘Obliterated’ Claim on Iran Just Became His Latest Meme Disaster

In his June 21 televised address from the White House, President Donald Trump declared that the U.S. had “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear program following airstrikes on three of its nuclear sites. The word was meant to project power, certainty, and victory. Instead, it has gone viral for all the wrong reasons. Within days, “obliterated” morphed into an online punchline, mocked by critics and meme-makers across social media platforms. It has become the latest in a long line of Trumpian catchphrases

Relooted Is a Heist Game About Returning African Artifacts to Their Home Countries

One of last year's biggest games, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, revived a hero from a bygone era -- known for retrieving precious artifacts and delivering them to Western museums. At Summer Game Fest, I got to try a game that flips this script. Relooted is all about a team of African specialists liberating artifacts from museums to bring them back to their home countries. Relooted is a 2D puzzle-platformer which tasks players to pull off increasingly complex heists. There's a basic loop o

US, French authorities confirm arrest of BreachForums hackers

U.S. and French authorities have confirmed the arrests of five hackers accused of being behind several major hacks and being part of a notorious cybercrime forum. On Thursday, the U.S. Department of Justice announced the indictment of British national Kai West, 25, accusing him of being “a serial hacker” known as IntelBroker. U.S. authorities allege West is behind “a years-long hacking scheme,” which caused more than $25 million in damages by targeting more than 40 victims, including a telecoms

AI is ruining houseplant communities online

“Maybe you could organize your plants like this,” my friend’s text message said, with an attached photo of white pots of plants floating midair in front of a huge, sunny window. As a newbie plant collector, I do need to organize my growing collection of flora, but not like this — the photo was AI-generated and the plants depicted were not real. Even as a beginner, I was able to identify issues with the photo. Obviously, my plants cannot physically defy gravity, but most egregiously, the organiz

CISA: AMI MegaRAC bug enabling server hijacks exploited in attacks

Federal judge sides with Meta in lawsuit over training AI models on copyrighted books

A federal judge sided with Meta on Wednesday in a lawsuit brought against the company by 13 book authors, including Sarah Silverman, that alleged the company had illegally trained its AI models on their copyrighted works. Federal Judge Vince Chhabria issued a summary judgment — meaning the judge was able to decide on the case without sending it to a jury — in favor of Meta, finding that the company’s training of AI models on copyrighted books in this case fell under the “fair use” doctrine of c

Is It Cheaper to Make Your Own Soda? AccordionItemContainerButton LargeChevron Photograph: Matthew Korfhage Bubbling up your own water is convenient, it saves space, and it's by far the most eco-friendly option, versus stacking up cases of sparkling bottles in your fridge. But it's probably not cheaper. Aside from the initial cost of the machine, you'll need to continue to replenish CO 2 canisters. These can run anywhere from $20 to $30 for a 60-liter canister, depending on the brand, which adds

2025 iPad Pro production underway, but pricing expected to deter many

2025 iPad Pro production is reportedly already underway, as both Samsung and LG began making the displays earlier this month. The new models are expected to launch toward the end of the year, with October a likely bet.

The United States has lower life expectancy than most similarly wealthy nations

Since taking over as the top US health official in February, Robert F. Kennedy Jr has overseen radical changes that have alarmed many public-health experts. The agency he leads announced that it would cut its workforce by 20,000, and cancelled billions of dollars in federal funding for research and public health. Earlier this month, Kennedy replaced all the members of an influential vaccine advisory committee with hand-picked ones, including some who have expressed scepticism about vaccines. His

See How ‘X-Men ’97’ Brought Cyclops to Life With a Look Inside Its Gorgeous New Artbook

There was a lot to love about X-Men ’97‘s continuation and evolution of the iconic X-Men: The Animated Series when its first season rolled out last year, but perhaps one of the best was the reminder to X-fans who’s primary experience with the character had been in adaptation, rather than in the comics, that Cyclops has always been one of the best X-Men characters. Marrying people’s memories of Scott from the original show with the huge development the character underwent throughout the 21st cent

Fewer Identity Theft Reports, Larger Losses: Here's What to Make of Latest Research

Is your data protected? Getty The Identity Theft Resource Center said Tuesday that fewer people contacted it for help over the past year, but also warned that new technologies, including artificial intelligence, are making it increasingly easier for cybercriminals to successfully victimize people. The ITRC mentions that, while fewer people are reporting crimes, the crimes that are reported represent greater financial loss. According to the ITRC's 2025 Trends In Identity Report, a total of 7,58

The Oversight Board calls Meta's uneven AI moderation 'incoherent and unjustifiable'

As Meta's platforms fill up with more AI-generated content, the company still has a lot of work to do when it comes to enforcing its policies around manipulated media. The Oversight Board is once again criticizing the social media company over its handling of such posts, writing in its latest decision that its inability to enforce its rules consistently is "incoherent and unjustifiable." If that sounds familiar, it's because this is the second time since last year the Oversight Board has used t

Extreme Heat Is Killing Unfathomable Numbers of People Worldwide

A huge heatwave is currently roasting vast swaths of the United States, sending temperatures skyrocketing over 100 degrees Fahrenheit across the midwest and eastern portions of the country.
