Oh Great, the TikTok People Want to Strap AR Goggles on Your Face

There’s reportedly a potential new player in AR glasses, and you’ll never guess who it is. I’ll give you a hint: they make the app you’re about to unconsciously check in about 15 seconds. No, not Tinder; get your mind out of the gutter. I’m talking about TikTok, or more specifically, ByteDance, which owns TikTok and also, according to The Information, which cites sources within the company, has aspirations of entering the burgeoning world of XR hardware.

Nicholas Hoult and Rachel Brosnahan Discuss Their Big ‘Superman’ Action Moments

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-07-27 21:51:59

There’s a moment early on in Superman when Lex Luthor is shouting commands for different fight moves to a team of people remote controlling a supervillain where you think two things. “It looks like Lex is playing a big, elaborate video game,” and “I’ve never seen anything like this in a superhero movie before.” Both things are true, and when io9 spoke with actor Nicholas Hoult about his villainous turn in the DC film, we asked him about it.

There have been a lot of superhero stories told over the decades from DC and Marvel, but it’s been a while since things lined up quite like this. Of 2025’s wave of cape movies and shows, several of them—from Thunderbolts* and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man to the just-released Superman and incoming Fantastic Four: First Steps—are reboots in some form or another.

iPhone 17e is reportedly launching next year, here’s what we know so far

Apple’s been toying around with the idea of a cheaper iPhone in the lineup for quite some time, though it’s never been a consistent thing. Obviously, there was the iPhone 5c back in 2013 as a cheaper offering compared to the iPhone 5s. It didn’t sell too well, but it was certainly its first venture into this market. Afterwards, there was the iPhone SE lineup, which had an average of 3 years between each refresh. Now, it’s looking like the ‘cheaper’ iPhone will become a regular part of the iPhon

How incel language infected the mainstream internet — and brought its toxicity with it

This excerpt from Adam Aleksic’s Algospeak: How Social Media Is Transforming the Future of Language has been abridged for online publication. The book is out on July 15th. The modern-day incel is entirely an invention of the twenty-first century. Before the internet, lonely men simply didn’t have a way to gather and share ideas. That all began to change in 1997, when a Canadian student started a website called Alana’s Involuntary Celibacy Project to connect with others over her shared lack of

Vast Numbers of Lonely Kids Are Using AI as Substitute Friends

Lonely children and teens are replacing real-life friendship with AI, and experts are worried. A new report from the nonprofit Internet Matters, which supports efforts to keep children safe online, found that children and teens are using programs like ChatGPT, Character.AI, and Snapchat's MyAI to simulate friendship more than ever before. Of the 1,000 children aged nine to 17 that Internet Matters surveyed for its "Me, Myself, and AI" report, some 67 percent said they use AI chatbots regularly

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
