We Just Got a Major Clue About Why Twitter's CEO Suddenly Left This Week

futurism.com Unknown 2025-08-05 02:16:33

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

Harley Maranan / Android Authority TL;DR Google Contacts has recently started rolling out a couple changes we spotted in development earlier this year. Contact pages are picking up a new “Recent activity” list, displaying message and call history.

Conspiracy theorists unaware their beliefs are on the fringe

Overconfidence is a hallmark trait of people who believe in conspiracies, and they also significantly overestimate how much others agree with them, Cornell psychology researchers have found. The study indicates that belief in conspiracies may be less about a person’s needs and motivations and more about their failure to recognize that they might be wrong.

Remember That Asteroid NASA Deflected in a Test of Saving Earth? We Have Bad News

In late 2022, NASA celebrated its Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) as a massive success, a proof of concept for saving humanity in case a similar space rock were to ever head straight for Earth. The small spacecraft smashed into asteroid Didymos' moonlet Dimorphos at a violent 14,000 mph, knocking it severely off course. But three years later, astronomers found that the collision had some unintended consequences. As detailed in a paper published last week in the Planetary Science Journa

Microsoft and OpenAI's AGI Fight Is Bigger Than a Contract

During an interview with him in May 2023, I asked about the deal between Microsoft and OpenAI that granted his company exclusive access to the startup’s groundbreaking AI technology. I knew the contract had set a cap on how much profit Microsoft could make from the arrangement, and I asked him what would happen if and when that point was reached.
