The Destruction of NASA Would Be a Blow to Our Collective Imagination

wired.com Richard Warnica 2025-12-19 21:30:00

Not long before he decided to leave NASA, Steve Rader, an engineer who spent 36 years at the Johnson Space Center, held a retreat for leaders in his department at his home in downtown Houston. It had been a trying few months for Rader and his team. “I will say, I don't cry a lot,” he tells me in a recent phone call. That changed after Trump took office. “You can ask my wife, from the first few months I cried.” After decades working on projects like the Space Shuttle and International Space Stat

OpenAI says GPT-6 is coming and it'll be better than GPT-5 (obviously)

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-12-19 20:56:15

OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman told reporters that GPT-6 is already in the works, and it’ll not take as long as GPT-5. The GPT-6 announcement doesn't surprise me because OpenAI is slowly becoming a product-first company rather than research-focused. There's no denying that OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman overhyped GPT-5 and underdelivered. While GPT-5 isn't exactly bad and actually offers significant improvements over GPT-4 or o3 for coding, the rollout wasn't smooth and some people were expecting more than

John Cena Digs Into Peacemaker’s Big ‘Suicide Squad’ Kill

Season two of Peacemaker will finally have Rick Flag Sr. (Frank Grillo) coming in hot for Chris Smith (John Cena) to exact revenge over the death of his son. Killing his squad leader, Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman), in James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad was a moment that made Peacemaker irredeemable before being hilariously unpacked in season one of the HBO Max show, which centered the antihero’s mistake as something that broke him—that and the bullet Bloodsport (Idris Elba) put through his neck.

Hundreds of billions of dollars have been poured into the development of artificial intelligence models and the infrastructure needed to support them, all with the promise that AI will eventually take over everything. But in the average person’s day-to-day life, AI has yet to serve as much more than a slightly smarter Siri.

Mammals that chose ants and termites as food almost never go back

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-21 00:35:30

If you were to design the strangest diet possible, eating nothing but ants and termites would probably make the shortlist. Yet over the past 66 million years, mammals across the globe have repeatedly gone down this path—not once or twice, but at least a dozen times. From anteaters and aardvarks to pangolins and aardwolves, the so-called myrmecophages (animals that feed on ants and termites) have evolved similar traits: they’ve lost most or all of their teeth, grown long sticky tongues, and learn
