The Day Grok Tried to Be Human

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2026-01-25 17:28:33

For 16 hours this week, Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok stopped functioning as intended and started sounding like something else entirely. In a now-viral cascade of screenshots, Grok began parroting extremist talking points, echoing hate speech, praising Adolf Hitler, and pushing controversial user views back into the algorithmic ether. The bot, which Musk’s company xAI designed to be a “maximally truth-seeking” alternative to more sanitized AI tools, had effectively lost the plot. And now, xAI ad

What you eat could be the key to easing your headache or migraine symptoms. Though adjusting your diet is far from a miracle cure, when paired with other healthy habits, like maintaining your hydration, getting enough exercise, getting enough sleep and managing stress, it's a low-effort way to relieve your pain. "The most important thing I tell patients is that migraines are highly individualized," says Dr. Nicholas Church, a board-certified member of the American Board of Family Medicine and t

War for Westeros, Coming in 2026, Will Let Fans Make Their Own Game of Thrones Ending

For a moment in time, fantasy fans were split between whether Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies or HBO's Game of Thrones prestige TV show was the best adaptation of a classic book series. But the Oliphaunt in the room is that the last seasons of the latter plummeted so far in quality that it soured opinions on the show as a whole, especially with its divisive ending. But an upcoming GoT video game adaptation due out in 2026 will give players a chance to set the record straight and make th

Playdate’s second season sucked me back into the little yellow handheld

theverge.com Andrew Webster 2026-01-25 12:00:00

The Playdate is easy to forget about. It’s colorful and weird, but it’s also tiny. Like the Game Boy Micro before it, sometimes I toss it in a bag and then can’t remember where I put it. But over the past few weeks, the yellow handheld has been in constant rotation in my house, despite being up against big distractions like Mario Kart World and Death Stranding 2, thanks to the Playdate’s now-complete second season of games.

On the morning Makeda Davis was coming home, her mom, Georgia Davis, cleaned her studio apartment, smoothing a tablecloth over a table and putting out bowls of Doritos and pistachios and a Welcome Home balloon. Makeda’s daughter, Merhanda Pierre, had bought a charm bracelet featuring a heart engraved with the word Free.

These ‘4K-Like’ AR Glasses Are Actually Only 1080p, but I Want Them All the Same

gizmodo.com James Pero 2026-01-25 15:00:27

When it comes to gadget specs, it’s best to be precise. For example, if you were buying a TV, you may want to know the resolution, and if you showed up to Best Buy and the tag on your brand-spanking-new Sony said “kind of, sort of, 4K,” you’d probably have some questions. Same goes for AR glasses, in my opinion, but that didn’t stop Viture from slapping “4K-like” branding on all of its new frames. It also doesn’t stop me from wanting them all the same.

Trendy New Startup Makes You Pay to Tour Apartments When You're Looking for Housing

Back in the stone age, landlords would have to go through the ridiculous process of meeting prospective tenants, showing them their potential homes, and sharing information on the rental. No longer. Thanks to a property tech company with the amazingly mawkish name Rently, landlords can now kick their feet up and relax — even more than they used to, that is. Rently's big idea?

Lenovo Tab Plus Review: An Unmatched Audio Experience Among Tablets

I’ve never really been one to blare music out loud on a tablet, but the older I get, the more I realize my values do not reflect those of the broader populace. There are plenty of people who like to do just that, and I guess if they’re home alone or they simply do not care about irritating anyone in their direct vicinity, then more power to them. It’s hard to say what’s so irritating about sound coming out of a tablet, but if I had to take a stab, I’d say it’s often the quality of the audio that

My First Day With the Galaxy Z Fold 7: This Foldable Finally Feels Just Right to Me

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-01-26 18:00:00

There's something slightly ironic about the superslim Galaxy Z Fold 7. Because the generous 6.5-inch cover screen feels much more normal than those found on previous versions of Samsung's foldable, I've hardly bothered opening the phone to use the sprawling inside display -- despite that kind of being the whole point. That's not a bad thing. Rather, it's a testament to how Samsung has managed to make both displays practical and useful. The cover screen no longer feels like an awkward compromise
