I Asked AI to Write a Protest Chant. What I Got Back Was Surprisingly Subversive

[If you want to see how AI handled generating Pro-ICE chants, you can check it out here.] I wanted to know what kind of activist a chatbot could be. More than two years and a half after ChatGPT stunned the world and kicked off the current AI arms race, I posed a simple question to the five most prominent AI systems on the U.S. market: OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, Anthropic’s Claude, Elon Musk’s Grok (from xAI), and Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta AI.

Neanderthals Spread Across Asia With Surprising Speed—and Now We Know How

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-09-18 13:00:29

Neanderthals and modern humans split from a common ancestor around 500,000 years ago, with Neanderthals leaving Africa for Europe and Asia long before modern humans joined them hundreds of thousands of years later. There, Neanderthals dispersed as far as Spain and Siberia. Our prehistoric cousins likely first reached Asia around 190,000 to 130,000 years ago, with another substantial migration to Central and Eastern Eurasia likely between 120,000 and 60,000 years ago. But how did they get there?

Tired of vacuuming your house? You and us both. It’s just not a fun task, no matter how you slice it. And it’s a thankless one. The end result is fine, sure, because you get floors that are clean. But who wants to keep taking time out of their day to clean? Couldn’t be us. If your floors are constantly covered in pet hair, crumbs, or tracked-in dirt, the idea of a robot vacuum doing the heavy lifting while you kick back (or, let’s be real, tackle a million other things) is pretty appealing.

When a thin layer of oil is heated above its smoke point and allowed to cook off atop the griddle and then cool, it forms a polymer that protects the top of the griddle and leads to better cooks.

The first Switch was such a hit that Nintendo decided not to mess with a good thing.

It looks about the same, works about the same, and plays most of the same games. It’s the Switch, just better. Nintendo’s bet is that it doesn’t have to wow people all over again, and so it m
