US may get its own glitchy version of TikTok if Trump’s deal works out

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-02-02 16:35:10

Could Donald Trump possibly follow through on his campaign promise to save TikTok by finally making a deal that keeps the app operating in the US without compromising America's national security? Outlook not so good. Despite The Information reporting that a new version of TikTok is being prepped to launch in the US market this September, even Trump can't be sure the deal is imminent. "We pretty much have a deal," Trump recently told reporters on Air Force One, suggesting that he thinks he wil

Is the Nothing Phone 3 worth it? Survey reveals surprising consumer sentiment

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority After spending a few years setting itself up, Nothing boldly launched the Nothing Phone 3 as its top-tier flagship this week. Coming in at $799, it takes on the proper flagships from Samsung, Google, Apple, and others. While one can argue that it comes out on top against these three, Chinese competitors like OnePlus can give it a run for its money with the OnePlus 13.

We Asked ChatGPT to Be Mean

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2026-03-02 00:28:20

Two and a half years after it was unleashed upon the world, ChatGPT is both the poster child for AI’s utopian promise and a walking, talking cautionary tale. It can plan your vacation, find a recipe, and even act as a low-budget therapist. It’s also subjected to a daily firehose of humanity’s worst impulses: insults, gotchas, and commands to do harm. Ever wondered what it really thinks when you do that? I recently asked ChatGPT to spill the tea on the worst things users say to it. But to get t

The air you breathe matters more than you might think. Between pollen, pet dander, dust, and whatever’s drifting in through open windows, it’s easy for indoor air to get a little stale or even irritating.

Meta just announced a major move in its AI efforts—investing in Scale AI and building a superintelligence AI research lab. While Meta has been trying to keep up with big names in the AI race, such as OpenAI, Anthropic and Google, the company's new strategy includes dropping some serious cash to acquire talent and invest in Scale AI. Today on the show, we dive into the deal between Meta and Scale AI, including what Meta aims to get out of investment, and we ask the question we are all wondering:

Charlize Theron’s 6 Best Genre Roles

Charlize Theron can do any genre—she has an Oscar for playing a serial killer, and she gave a standout comedic performance on Arrested Development. She’s also a gifted action star, as seen in her appearances in Atomic Blonde and the Fast & Furious movies, a series which skirts the edge of sci-fi. But you don’t need to qualify anything when it comes to Theron’s fondness for sci-fi and fantasy.

F1 in Canada: Well, that crash was bound to happen

The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on the Île Notre-Dame in Montreal has long been home to the Canadian Grand Prix. The artificial island was originally built for Expo 67 but was later remodeled for the 1976 Olympics; a race track was then constructed out of the roads on the island in 1978. F1 has come and gone in the US and Mexico in that time, but Canada has been a near-constant, missing just 2009. Many of those races have been classics. 2007 saw Lewis Hamilton's first win, when he was a rookie wi
