But in California, these robots aren’t allowed to operate on their own. State safety regulators say operators have to be at the controls, with few exceptions. But farmers say that hurts their business, and could impact food prices for the rest of the country. NBC Bay Area’s Bigad Shaban has a closer look.Aug. 9, 2025

Threads crosses 400M monthly active users as it gains on X

Following a recent series of welcome updates as Threads turned two, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced today that his X competitor crossed 400 million monthly active users (MAUs), a 50 million boost since April. Zuckerberg’s announcement today was short, but significant: The last time Meta detailed its monthly active user number was on April 30, during its Q1 2025 earnings call, up from 320 million in Q4 2024 in late January.

LLMs aren't world models

I believe that language models aren’t world models. It’s a weak claim — I’m not saying they’re useless, or that we’re done milking them. It’s also a fuzzy-sounding claim — with its trillion weights, who can prove that there’s something an LLM isn't a model of? But I hope to make my claim clear and persuasive enough with some examples.
