Meta AI has had a particularly rough year, so when you're forced to use it on Instagram, make sure it feels your love. Think that sounds ridiculous? Same. But like most things when it comes to AI, today's Appreciation Day is unbelievably stupid, in a way that's totally on brand. If you've never heard of AI Appreciation Day, don't feel

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2026-01-14 15:00:40

Since taking office in January, the Trump administration has launched a major effort to limit public access to information about climate change. After the president canned the official government site that hosted the national climate assessments earlier this month, NASA has broken its promise to publish them on its own site. On Monday, July 14, NASA Press Secretary Bethany Stevens told the Associated Press that NASA will not host any data from globalchange.gov, which served as the official webs

Xbox's second batch of Game Pass additions for July includes Grounded 2 and Wheel World

engadget.com Unknown 2026-01-16 06:44:50

Xbox has confirmed the second batch of Game Pass additions for July . There's no obvious headliner here, but there are a bunch of great additions to the catalog. These include indie hits like Wheel World and blockbusters like Robocop: Rogue City. Let's get into it. Robocop: Rogue City came as a huge surprise back in 2023. A game based on a decades-old sci-fi franchise by a relatively unknown developer? It should have been a train wreck. Instead, it's a solid 3D action title that perfectly captu

Arizona Governor Chastises Federal Response to ‘Devastating’ Wildfires

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2026-01-19 02:55:27

A pair of fast-moving wildfires burning near the Grand Canyon’s North Rim destroyed a historic lodge, triggered evacuations, and forced officials to close this part of the national park for the remainder of the 2025 season on Sunday. Arizona’s governor argues the federal government is largely to blame. The Grand Canyon Lodge—the only lodging within the park’s North Rim—and a nearby water treatment facility are among 50 to 80 structures consumed by the Dragon Bravo fire, the National Park Servic

The Day Grok Tried to Be Human

For 16 hours this week, Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok stopped functioning as intended and started sounding like something else entirely. In a now-viral cascade of screenshots, Grok began parroting extremist talking points, echoing hate speech, praising Adolf Hitler, and pushing controversial user views back into the algorithmic ether. The bot, which Musk’s company xAI designed to be a “maximally truth-seeking” alternative to more sanitized AI tools, had effectively lost the plot. And now, xAI ad

“Cover-up.” That’s the word ricocheting through the manosphere, echoing across X feeds and podcast episodes after the Trump administration released the so-called Epstein files, and declared the case closed. The backlash was instant and fierce. These were Donald Trump’s most vocal defenders in the 2024 campaign: tradcons, alpha bros, influencers, and masculine revivalists who painted Trump as a bulwark against the liberal elite and the “woke” takeover of America.
