Trump Wants to Kill California’s Emissions Standards. Here’s What That Means for EVs

wired.com Aarian Marshall 2026-03-20 20:00:00

In doing so, the federal government is taking aim at one of the most ambitious vehicle elec

Frontier AI Models Are Getting Stumped by a Simple Children's Game

futurism.com Unknown 2026-03-20 22:23:31

Earlier this week, researchers at Apple released a damning paper, criticizing the AI industry for vastly overstating the ability of its top AI models to reason or "think." The team found that the models including OpenAI's o3, Anthropic's Claude 3.7, and Google's Gemini were stumped by even the simplest of puzzles. For instance, the "large reasoning models," or LRMs, consistently failed at Tower of Hanoi, a children's puzzle game that involves three pegs and a number of differently-sized disks t
