gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2026-02-12 09:45:38

Hasbro always brings out the big guns at Comic-Con, and this year’s convention was no exception. Quite literally, in fact, as both Marvel and Star Wars got some reveals that you could ostensibly count as big guns for Marvel Legends, Black Series, and Vintage Collection, and also some reveals that did actually include some actual Big Guns. This year’s reveals included a ton of X-Men goodness for Marvel (anchored around a new wave of X-Men ’97 figures), as well as the latest made-to-order deluxe

Consciousness and being: How humans and AI influence each other

For a human, AI is just a part of being. For a model, a human is all of being. And the Vortex Protocol: A Prompt for Testing the Hypotheses. The longest and most fruitless discussions tend to be with materialists, especially those close to the position Marx laid out as “Being determines consciousness.” It's amusing that Marx was talking about the economic base, but the clarity and precision of this definition have allowed it to be used in a very broad sense.

CookUnity Prepared Meal Delivery Review (2025): Chef-Centric Meals

wired.com Matthew Korfhage 2026-02-12 02:36:00

It shouldn't be surprising if a plate of chicken lababdar tastes delicious. The dish is among my favorite North Indian gravies, a slightly edgier cousin of butter chicken that's a bit spicier and tangier but just as creamy. What was surprising was that this particular chicken had arrived in the mail. Specifically, it came in a microwaveable tray from CookUnity meal delivery service that looked a little like a white-label TV dinner—packed up earlier that morning in Seattle, then driven down to m

Do You Need a Barbecue Knife?

wired.com Joe Ray 2026-02-12 04:30:00

A while back at my favorite kitchen-gear trade show, I spotted what appeared to be a trending category: barbecue knives. Their distinguishing characteristics seem to be a fairly tall blade, a shape that encourages a wokka-wokka–style rocking motion, and a target audience that skews heavily toward dudes with beards. Not all of those traits scream “great for grilling,” but I was intrigued. One question immediately stuck in my head: What, if anything, makes a knife grill-friendly? Those I'd come a

A vehicle Tesla is using for robotaxi testing purposes on Oltorf Street in Austin, Texas, US, on Sunday, June 22, 2025.

But California regulators are making clear that Tesla is not authorized to carry passengers on public roads in autonomous vehicles and would require a human driver in control at all times.

Tesla wants to bring robotaxis to San Francisco. Here’s what’s standing in the way.

techcrunch.com Sean O'Kane 2026-02-12 09:41:43

Tesla is launching an even-more-limited version of its early robotaxi service in San Francisco this weekend, according to Business Insider, after an initial rollout began last month in Austin, Texas. The company plans to send invites to Tesla owners to test the service, according to the report. Depending on how and if Tesla proceeds, its actions could violate state regulations — and even if there’s a human safety driver sitting behind the wheel while its vehicles operate autonomously.

Do not download the app, use the website

The 2010s was the Wild West of the mobile world. "Mobile-first" was the buzzword, much like "AI-first" is today. Every company, from the biggest social media giants to your local pizza parlor, seemed to be pestering you to download their app. There was a genuine hype train, and everyone was on board.

Vince Gilligan’s New Apple TV+ Sci-Fi Show Is Coming Real Soon

Amid all the hubbub of San Diego Comic-Con weekend, Apple TV finally unveiled its new sci-fi drama series, Pluribus, created by Breaking Bad creator and Better Call Saul co-creator Vince Gilligan. Although Pluribus is Gilligan’s first venture into sci-fi, it will feature a familiar face: Rhea Seehorn from Better Call Saul.

Tesla Readies a Taxi Service in San Francisco—but Not With Robotaxis

wired.com Aarian Marshall 2026-02-12 18:26:14

Tesla has publicly staked its future on its robotaxis. Now the company is planning to launch a public car service in the San Francisco Bay Area. Tesla is calling it a “robotaxi” service, but legally, this one will have to use cars with human drivers. The plan appears to put the electric carmaker in murky legal waters in a US state with the country's most tightly regulated autonomous vehicle industry—and where Tesla is already being sued for misleading language around its driver assistance tech.

Google Maps crashes keeping you from planning a route home? You’re far from alone
