gizmodo.com Riley Gutiérrez Mcdermid 2025-12-17 06:50:14

There’s going green for the sake of the planet, and then there’s going green as part of a policy initiative that winds up buying a bunch of glitch-plagued electric vehicles from a company that went bankrupt and can no longer service them. The latter is the exact story of a New York-based company called American Lease, which has spent around $45 million for 2,800 cars from Fisker, a now-dead EV startup that only made 11,000 of that model in its short life anyway, and is now using them as part of

Pickleball started to gain attention during the COVID-19 pandemic when people discovered it was a sport that could be played outdoors. Pickleball is a mix of tennis, ping-pong and badminton and is played using a tennis net, wooden paddles and a small ball. It can be played with two people (similar to tennis) or four people with two players making up one team. It's the ideal game to play if you have enough people at your get-together and the best part is it often comes in portable kits. The Fran

OpenAI Is Poised to Become the Most Valuable Startup Ever. Should It Be?

wired.com Kylie Robison 2025-12-17 06:00:00

OpenAI is reportedly on the verge of a roughly $500 billion valuation, a figure that would make it the most valuable private company in the world—bigger than SpaceX, TikTok’s parent company Bytedance, and even public giants like Palantir. It’s a staggering number for a company with an “astronomical burn rate.” How is this even possible? As Axios reports, there are actually two deals in play: a SoftBank-led round valuing the company at $300 billion, which won’t close until year’s end, and a seco

Hallucinations in AI Models: What They Mean for Software Quality and Trust

computer.org Laurel Tweed 2025-12-17 09:00:57

Modern businesses are rushing to adopt artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, but this rapid integration comes with unexpected challenges. A phenomenon known as “hallucinations” occurs in large language models (LLMs) and deep learning systems and threatens software quality and trust. These hallucinations occur when AI presents false information as fact. The damage extends beyond technical failures, as user trust erodes, brand reputations suffer, and ethical questions multiply.

Google didn't need to make its own smartphone. Even though the company spent several years having other manufacturers build phones it could slap its "Nexus" branding on, selling hardware is not core to Google's business. Things like advertising and Search still handily dwarf the inroads the company's made as a smartphone manufacturer, and that will likely remain true for the foreseeable future.
