‘Techno King’ Elon Musk Doesn’t Own a Computer, His Lawyers Tell Court

He fancies himself the innovator of our time. “Disrupt” could be his middle name. Technology, it seems, is in his DNA. And yet, Elon Musk apparently—supposedly—has a secret Luddite streak: he doesn’t use a computer. The revelation didn’t come from a biography or a tell-all interview. It came from a legal filing in the high-stakes, mud-slinging lawsuit between Musk and OpenAI, where the future of artificial intelligence is on trial in a Northern California courtroom. Amid thorny questions of cor

Minecraft Competitor Hytale Shuts Down After a Decade of Development

Hypixel Studios is shutting down development of Hytale, its Minecraft-like sandbox creator game. The studio, a subsidiary of Riot Games, posted a blog post explaining that financial support wasn't enough to buoy the long development time. The game will not be released to the public. Hypixel Studios has long struggled with delivering on the initial vision for Hytale, and Riot Games' investment in the developer couldn't change the fact that the game had a troubled production. A blog post from Hy

Discovery of HMS Endeavour wreck confirmed

Back in 2022, we reported on the Australian National Maritime Museum's (ANMM) announcement that its researchers had confirmed that a shipwreck proposed as a likely candidate in 2018 is indeed the remains of the HMS Endeavour. However, the Rhode Island Marine Archaeology Project (RIMAP)—the museum's research partner in the project—promptly released a statement calling the announcement premature. RIMAP insisted that more evidence was needed. The final report is now available, and both RIMAP and A

New data highlights the race to build more empathetic language models

Measuring AI progress has usually meant testing scientific knowledge or logical reasoning – but while the major benchmarks still focus on left-brain logic skills, there’s been a quiet push within AI companies to make models more emotionally intelligent. As foundation models compete on soft measures like user preference and “feeling the AGI,” having a good command of human emotions may be more important than hard analytic skills. One sign of that focus came on Friday, when prominent open-source

iOS 18.6 code hints at AirTag 2, but when is it coming?

When leaker Kosutami claimed that Apple was planning a May or June launch of the next-generation AirTag, that broadly tracked with Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman’s earlier report from November that Apple was aiming for a “around the middle” of 2025 release. But now that we’re fast approaching the end of June and there are still no new AirTag, we have an update on Apple’s new release target for the long-awaited next generation of its tracker. When is AirTag 2 coming? We have some good news and some b

Biocide overdose blunder suspected in A321 dual-engine incident

UK investigators probing a serious dual engine problem on a departing Airbus A321 have discovered its fuel system had previously been overdosed with biocide, after a maintenance engineer misunderstood a measurement term. The engineer was confused by the term ‘ppm’ – meaning ‘parts per million’ – while conducting a biocidal shock treatment of the Titan Airways A321’s fuel tanks, as the jet neared the end of a month-long maintenance check. While the anti-contamination treatment required a biocid

Some Asshole Allegedly Steals $10,000 Worth of Switch Games From Local Libraries

Few fans would want to reenact Mario villain antics outside of your local gaming convention, but it seems certain groups aim to acquire Switch-related merchandise by any means necessary. Weeks after an unknown group, individual, or perhaps a certain King Koopa stole a trove of Switch 2 units from the back of a truck, police accused a separate California man of stealing thousands of dollars worth of Switch games from local libraries. It’s clear the $450 Switch 2 is so hot right now that some folk

Nintendo Switch 2 Exclusive Drag x Drive Arriving in August as Digital-Only Budget Game

The inaugural fully mouse-controlled game for the new Nintendo Switch 2 is set to be released on Aug. 14, and you'll be able to grab it for $20. You won't be able to get a physical copy of Drag x Drive, however, because the game is limited to the Nintendo eShop. The pricing for Drag x Drive reflects the scope of the game, as this is a low-stakes party title spotlighting an underrepresented sport with quick pickup matches. But compared with the pricier Welcome Tour, Drag x Drive seems like a muc

Early US Intel assessment suggests strikes on Iran did not destroy nuclear sites

CNN — The US military strikes on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country’s nuclear program and likely only set it back by months, according to an early US intelligence assessment that was described by four people briefed on it. The assessment, which has not been previously reported, was produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s intelligence arm. It is based on a battle damage assessment conducted by US Central Command

The Director of Marvel’s ‘X-Men’ Movie Just Got Confirmed in the Most Roundabout Way

A new X-Men movie is coming. This much we know to be true. Jake Schreier, director of Marvel’s recent film Thunderbolts, is also expected to be directing it. That had yet to be officially confirmed, but io9—and one of Schreier’s fellow Marvel directors— both agree that it’s true. Speaking to Metro Entertainment about his new show Ironheart, executive producer Ryan Coogler (who also, of course, directed both Black Panther movies) shut down rumors that he could direct a new X-Men movie because “J

RFK Jr. Wants Every American to Be Sporting a Wearable Within Four Years

The road to “make America healthy again” will apparently be paved with Apple Watches. Health and Human Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has just unveiled a campaign that will try to encourage the widespread use of wearables. RFK Jr. announced the initiative Tuesday afternoon during a House Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee meeting to discuss the HHS’ budget request for the upcoming fiscal year. In response to a question from Senator Troy Balderson (R-Ohio) about wearables, Kennedy revealed

Roland just released a weird little riff on an acoustic handpan

Synthesizer giant Roland just announced a fairly bizarre contraption. The Mood Pan is the company's digital take on an acoustic handpan. For the uninitiated, a handpan is a version of the steelpan instrument that's been popular in Trinidad and Tobago since the 1930s. It's widely considered to be the only truly new acoustic instrument invented in the 20th century. However, handpans and steelpans take serious skill to play. Roland's Mood Pan is much easier to play, thanks to clearly visible pads

Stephen Miller Owns Stock in Notorious ICE Collaborator Palantir

Stephen Miller, a senior advisor to President Donald Trump, is well known as one of the most extreme anti-immigrant voices in the administration. But he’s not just a ghoul driven by far-right ideology to rid the U.S. of anyone who’s not white. Miller also appears to be making some money in the process, thanks to his stock ownership in a company that’s helping the U.S. government rip apart immigrant families through deportation. Miller owns anywhere from $100,000 to $250,000 in Palantir stock, a
