Judge Finds Tesla Has Failed to Deliver Full Self-Driving, Needs to Issue Refund

futurism.com Unknown 2026-01-31 08:38:59

After a year of fighting out his case in arbitration, a Tesla owner successfully forced Elon Musk's EV maker to reimburse him the $10,000 he paid for the company's misleadingly-called "Full Self-Driving" driver assistance package, Electrek reports. For over a decade now, Musk has made yearly promises that Teslas will be capable of driving themselves. But the software, even after all these years, still requires users to be able to take over control at any time, making it no more than a middle-o

Oh No, ‘Big Bang Theory’ Is Returning to Literally Destroy the Universe

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2026-01-31 05:50:45

You’d think io9—a site run by nerds—would enjoy a sitcom featuring a cast of nerd characters. Like, say, The Big Bang Theory, which ran on CBS for 12 seasons. But you’d be wrong: we loathed the show, especially for its often wrong-headed approach to geeky interests (remember how dirty it did Brian K. Vaughn and Fiona Staples’ wonderful comic Saga?), and we cheered when it finally wrapped up in 2019. But The Big Bang Theory obviously had a crap-ton of fans; you don’t get to 12 seasons and two sp

What the hell is going on at Twitter? Build-a-Brute A mere week ago, tech founder Nikita Bier joined Elon Musk's X-formerly-Twitter as the company's new head of product. "Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve officially posted my way to the top," Bier tweeted at the time, calling X the "most important social network in the world." Shortly thereafter, Musk's AI chatbot Grok abruptly turned into a full-blown Nazi on X. It started referring to itself as "MechaHitler," and making outrageously bigoted claim

Record-Setting Qubit Performance Marks Important Step Toward Practical Quantum Computing

The promise of so-called “quantum advantage” is simple. By harnessing the counterintuitive rules of quantum mechanics, quantum computers should be able to—in theory—surpass the computational potential of any classical supercomputer. But before quantum advantage drastically changes information technology as we know it, researchers have yet to address the many hurdles that are preventing quantum computers from entering into the mainstream.
