gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-07-27 05:14:11

Tesla’s second-quarter earnings paint a grim picture: falling profits, slumping sales, and a reputation hit that keeps on hurting. The all-electric carmaker reported net income of $1.17 billion, down 16.3% from the same period in 2024. Revenue fell 12% to $22.5 billion from $25.5 billion a year earlier, marking Tesla’s second consecutive quarter of declining profits and revenue this year. The cause is clear: Tesla is selling fewer cars and cutting prices to chase demand. Deliveries fell 13.5%

Americans Are Obsessed With Watching Short Video Dramas From China

wired.com Zeyi Yang 2025-07-27 05:00:00

My partner recently confessed something to me about his screen-time habits: When he’s giggling at his phone, he’s often watching short English-language soap operas that have begun showing up on his social feeds. The plots are basic, the acting is exaggerated, and the performers are stereotypically good-looking, but the constant twists and turns keep him spellbound and wanting more.

Will AI think like humans? We're not even close - and we're asking the wrong question

Westend61/Getty Images Artificial intelligence may have impressive inferencing powers, but don't count on it to have anything close to human reasoning powers anytime soon.

As a result, the stocks of many Western tech companies plummeted; Nvidia, which sells the chips that run leading AI models, lost more stock valu

Electric cars produce far less brake dust pollution than combustion-engine cars
