A Bunch of Incredibly Sleazy AI Apps Are Claiming to Be Jesus Christ Himself

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-29 11:48:04

As ChatGPT really started to take off back in 2023, an Austin pastor made minor headlines when he used the large language model (LLM) chatbot to lead a 15-minute "shotgun sermon." The stunt was largely meant to spark a conversation about how we define "what is sacred," the pastor said at the time. Since that lesson in theological ethics, chatbots have become ubiquitous — and they no longer come with lectures. Now in 2025, LLM chatbots are being increasingly made to stand in for therapists, teac

Why There Aren’t Many Ports of Games on Switch 2… Yet

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-11-29 14:22:40

Nintendo wants all the games coming to its Switch 2 to emphasize the features that make it distinct from the original Switch. After all, why else would consumers drop $450 on a new handheld when many are still holding onto their 8-year-old device? If you were twiddling your thumbs waiting for developers to port your favorite games to the Switch 2, know that they may be coming, but only after developers can show they’ll emphasize the new system’s best—or at least distinctive—qualities.

Rad Power’s Radster: A very non-radical commuter bike

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-29 14:36:35

With e-bike manufacturing in China having expanded considerably, the number of companies offering affordable e-bikes over the last five years has exploded. But the market for cycles with an electric assist has existed for considerably longer, and a number of companies predate the recent surge. One of them, Rad Power, has been around long enough that it was already an established presence when we first reviewed its hardware four years ago. The company offers a mix of cargo, folding, and commuter

Cassette’s new app turns your videos into retro, VHS-like home movies

Longing for the nostalgia of watching home movies, like in the VHS days, but stuck with all your personal videos saved on an iPhone? Sure, you can AirPlay them to the TV, but the experience is not the same. This struggle inspired developer Devin Davies to create Cassette, a new iOS app that plays back videos in a format similar to VHS, making your iPhone videos feel more like old home recordings.

Alan Tudyk Wasn’t Part of ‘I, Robot’ Publicity for a Very Surprising Reason

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-11-29 18:00:00

Alan Tudyk has made a fine career of playing otherworldly roles. Sometimes he’s a robot, like in Rogue One or Superman. Other times he’s an alien, like on Resident Alien, or he lends his voice to all manner of weird, wacky creatures from Moana and Encanto to Big Hero 6 and Wreck-It Ralph. Long before any of that, though, Tudyk played Sonny, the lead robot in the 2004 Will Smith hit I, Robot—but there’s a good chance you didn’t know that. That’s because it wasn’t well publicized.

Raised by Wolves Is Original Sci-Fi at Its Most Polarizing (2020)

“Raised by Wolves” is the type of sci-fi project that deserves some respect for its ambition alone—whatever you feel from it, you have to admire its full commitment to its Biblical proportions, and the way that it uses its androids and killers to tell a story about faith and parenting. Ridley Scott directed the first two episodes of the series, and using his name as part of the marketing is a fair move (even if it was created by Aaron Guzikowski, who wrote “Prisoners.”) This space oddity is very
