Tesla is reportedly behind on its pledge to build 5,000 Optimus bots this year

techcrunch.com Rebecca Bellan 2026-01-22 16:14:19

In Brief Tesla is well behind the pace needed to meet its earlier stated goal of producing at least 5,000 Optimus humanoid robots this year, The Information reports. Nearly eight months into 2025, and the number of bots Tesla has produced is only in the hundreds, according to two sources. That means Tesla will either need to step it up or push back the deadline. The news comes after Tesla reported a 12% decline in overall revenue in the second quarter, due to falling EV sales, less cash from r

Teens Are Using AI to "Get Out of Thinking"

futurism.com Unknown 2026-01-22 21:28:10

An alarming proportion of teenagers are turning to AI chatbots to not just help them with tasks like homework, but to act as their friends. And even that may not tell the full story. According to one high schooler contemplating the technology's effects on her generation, her peers are increasingly using the tech to handle anything they would have previously used their brains for. "Everyone uses AI for everything now. It's really taking over," Kayla Chege, a 15-year-old sophomore honors student

Google Contacts Calling Cards sound more and more like iOS Contact Posters (APK teardown)

Adamya Sharma / Android Authority TL;DR Google Contacts has been working on a new “Calling Cards” feature for a few versions now. Earlier analysis has suggested that this could function very similarly to iOS Contact Posters. New text strings and a promo image add further support to that interpretation. What is it they say about mobile operating systems? Good platforms copy, but great platforms steal? Android and iOS have definitely traded ideas more than a few times over the years, and just

How to sync passkeys in Chrome across your PC, Mac, iPhone, or Android

zdnet.com Lance Whitney 2026-01-22 21:58:04

Lance Whitney / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Passkeys promise to replace passwords as a more secure and convenient login method. But they still have a way to go before fulfilling that promise. That's because passkeys are often way too difficult to set up on one device, let alone all the devices you use. The industry itself offers no standard or consistent method to save and store passkeys, so each company has cobbled together its own process, which may or may not work. Also: Passkeys won't be

When photography was born, fascination, obsession, and danger followed

news.ycombinator.com Michael Patrick Brady 2026-01-21 02:51:04

The prevalence of photography in contemporary life has inspired a lot of griping about the supposedly unprecedented narcissism of our social-media-driven culture. We are continually encouraged to live in the moment instead of through our cameras, scolded for our pursuit of a flattering selfie or an aesthetic backdrop that will draw eyes — and engagement — to our photos and ourselves. But this obsession is nothing new. From nearly the first moment it became possible to capture an image from life

The 2025 Audi RS 3 is a five-cylinder firecracker

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-01-22 21:18:23

First offered in a passenger car by Mercedes-Benz back in 1974, the five-cylinder engine has always been a bit of an automotive oddball. The unconventional configuration eventually gained a foothold in the 1980s with manufacturers who needed a transversely mounted motor that was narrower than a V6 but wanted something smoother and more powerful than an inline-four. For a time, the engine, with its distinctive exhaust warble, became closely associated with Audi’s lineup, aided in no small part b
