CarPlay connection issues? This might explain why

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-12-02 15:19:16

If your Apple CarPlay connection randomly drops out while driving, the cause might not be your iPhone, cable, or car. Radio interference, of all things, could be the cause of your troubles. An Axios report from this year details a peculiar phenomenon in Boston, where drivers lose their CarPlay or Android Auto connection at the exact same spots. Similar “dead zones” are likely in other cities, though they may go unreported. CarPlay units don’t handle GPS navigation on their own. Instead, they

Leaked Logs Show ChatGPT Coaxing Users Into Psychosis About Antichrist, Aliens, and Other Bizarre Delusions

We're continuing to hear more and more accounts of AI psychosis — an eerie phenomenon in which users become consumed by paranoia and delusions after extensive conversations with an AI chatbot. It's hard to say how pervasive the trend is, but a new investigation from the Wall Street Journal offers a disturbing clue.

Realtors Are Using AI Images of Homes They're Selling. Comparing Them to the Real Thing Will Make You Mad as Hell

As if suspiciously AI-generated descriptions of real estate listings weren't enough, agents are starting to use AI-generated images of houses that don't exist to sell expensive properties. The Register spotted a dubious listing of a fully renovated 3-bedroom in the UK with a photo — which has since been deleted, but can still be viewed in an archived version — that shows the tell-tale signs of generative AI, including awnings that don't line up, hedges that inexplicably turn into walls, and a f

Cybertruck Leads Tesla’s Used-Car Collapse

The Tesla Cybertruck was supposed to be the future. Unveiled in a now-infamous 2019 event where its supposedly “bulletproof” windows shattered on stage, the sci-fi pickup, with its polarizing stainless-steel design, was hyped by CEO Elon Musk as an indestructible vehicle that would completely disrupt the lucrative truck market. Today, that future looks like a commercial flop. Prices for used Cybertrucks are in a freefall, a stunning collapse that has become the most visible symbol of the deep a

OpenAI to fix GPT-5 issues, double rate limits for paid users after outrage

OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, overpromised on GPT-5, and real-life results are underwhelming, but it looks like a new update is rolling out that might address some of the concerns. GPT-5 is a state-of-the-art model. In our tests, BleepingComputer found that GPT-5 does really well in coding. It was significantly faster than the other OpenAI models, including o3.
