Chase/CNET The Chase Sapphire Reserve®* has several new annual credits and features, like an Apple Plus and Apple Music membership, valued at $250 a year (ends June 22, 2027). Chase updated the card last week, and all the details sound good on paper (aside from the higher $795 annual fee), but there are some fine-print changes that aren't so great. Cardholders will now have to do more work to get enough value from the card to cover its cost. That likely means the average credit-cardholder won'

RFK Jr. Says AI Will Approve New Drugs at FDA ‘Very, Very Quickly’

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appeared on the latest episode of Tucker Carlson’s podcast on Monday and it’s filled with the ramblings of a man completely detached from reality. Kennedy falsely suggested vaccines cause autism, more or less endorsed the idea that Anthony Fauci should go to prison, and says that AI will allow the FDA to approve new drugs very quickly.

CNET/Getty Images A credit card's welcome offer is generally one of the main incentives for applying for a credit card. So what happens if the card issuer no longer discloses how much you earn before you apply, or changes its rules around who's eligible and who isn't? American Express recently changed the language for the terms on the Platinum Card® from American Express and the American Express® Gold Card.

Tesla's Robotaxi Program Is Failing Because Elon Musk Made a Foolish Decision Years Ago

A shortsighted design decision that Elon Musk made more than a decade ago is once again coming back to haunt Tesla. As The Guardian reports, the company's Robotaxi rollout has been a massive bust — due, in at least in part, to Musk's long-ago bet against the light detection and ranging sensors known as lidar, which are hardware that allow cars to "sense" their surroundings far more sensitively than the visual cameras that Tesla is instead using as the inputs for itse self-driving software.
