What Happens to Tesla When Musk Picks Politics Over Cars?

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-08-10 15:13:43

Tesla is Elon Musk. Elon Musk is Tesla. Rarely has a company’s identity been so inextricably linked to its CEO, for better and for worse. For years, this fusion was a superpower, giving Tesla an innovative mystique that captivated investors and propped up its valuation. Now, that same connection has become a massive liability. In a brutal reaction to Elon Musk’s latest political bombshell—the launch of his own political party—investors wiped nearly $70 billion off Tesla’s market capitalization

Ancient skull may have been half human, half Neanderthal child

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-08-10 19:00:30

Back in 1929, archaeologists unearthed several human skeletons (seven adults and three children) while excavating Skuhl Cave just south of Haifa, Israel. Dating back 140,000 years to the end of the Middle Pleistocene, most were classified as early Homo sapiens. But one skeleton was that of a child, between the age of 3 and 5 years old whose features seemed to show a mix of early human and Neanderthal characteristics. A new analysis involving CT scanning may resolve the long-standing debate, acco

engadget.com Unknown 2025-08-11 01:01:16

Just a month after his explosive fallout with Donald Trump, Elon Musk is floating the idea of forming his own political party. In a poll on X, 1.24 million of his followers voted, with 65.4 percent saying they would like to see such a thing happen. The America Party would offer “independence” from a political system Musk says is too focused on “waste & graft.” Like so many things Musk says, it’s not worth paying too much attention to unless he puts his money where his mouth is. But, also like so

Besides more granular controls over which things will trigger a notification, you can now receive alerts for any activity from a chosen account.

In April 2023, a few weeks after the launch of GPT-4, the Internet went wild for two new software projects with the audacious names BabyAGI and AutoGPT. “Over the past week, developers around the world have begun building ‘autonomous agents’ that work with large language models (LLMs) such as OpenAI’s GPT-4 to solve complex problems,” Mark Sullivan wrote for Fast Company. “Autonomous agents can already perform tasks as varied as conducting web research, writing code, and creating to-do lists.”
