techcrunch.com Sean O'Kane 2025-12-17 00:24:42

A jury in federal court in Miami has found Tesla partly to blame for a fatal 2019 crash that involved the use of the company’s Autopilot driver assistance system. The jury awarded the plaintiffs $200 million in punitive damages, along with compensatory damages. Neither the driver of the car nor the Autopilot system braked in time to avoid going through an intersection, where the car struck an SUV and killed a pedestrian. The jury assigned the driver two-thirds of the blame, and attributed one-t

The Legacy of ‘Scavengers Reign’ Lives on Through Video Games

It’s been little over a year since Scavengers Reign was canceled. Co-created by animator-producers Joseph Bennett and Charles Huettner, Scavengers Reign garnered a modest yet passionate fanbase and went on to earn an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Animated Program. Despite this, however, HBO Max—and by extension Warner Bros. Discovery, HBO Max’s parent company—chose not to renew the show for a second season, effectively canceling the series.

Drawing for the New Yorker

Drawing cartoons is an odd profession, I must admit. But someone has to do it. The New Yorker magazine has run cartoons— or drawings, as they like to call them— since its inception 100 years ago. The editors knew how popular satirical art was, and considered it a crucial part of the nascent publication. Not just decoration; far from it. The art was more successful than the writing in that first year! A lot of the process of creating a drawing of this type involves doodling, a lot of observing,

Microsoft Introduces 'Copilot Mode' in Edge

For decades, the way we’ve used browsers has remained linear: open a tab (or 20), search for something, read a page, repeat. It’s a model that’s worked well, but it hasn’t fundamentally changed. Until now. As AI begins to reshape nearly every facet of digital life, we’re witnessing a turning point in how we interact with the web.

In my opinion, one of the best critiques of modern AI design comes from a 1992 talk by the researcher Mark Weiser where he ranted against “copilot” as a metaphor for AI. This was 33 years ago, but it’s still incredibly relevant for anyone designing with AI. Weiser’s rant Weiser was speaking at an MIT Media Lab event on “interface agents”.
