You'll find artwork all over the world, warring groups, alliances, and more.

Truth Social’s New AI Chatbot Is Donald Trump’s Media Diet Incarnate

wired.com Guthrie Scrimgeour 2025-12-07 21:20:48

When I ask the new Truth Social AI chatbot about navigating bias in the media ecosystem, it gives what I view as pretty reasonable advice. “Diversify your sources,” it responds. “Rely on news outlets across the political spectrum, including those from both left-leaning and right-leaning perspectives.” This is advice that the AI itself may not be taking to heart. For instance, to come to the above answer it cites five sources, four of which are Fox News articles. The fifth, inexplicably, is a 4

Hodin is fascinated by creatures who change form—“I’m even wearing my shirt,” he says, pointing to his T-shirt depicting a folk music festival celebrating metamorphosis. So when The Nature Conservancy asked him to try breeding sunflower stars, Hodin was excited. Sunflower stars go through a series of developmental stages—from eggs to poppy seed-sized larvae that float around for months to juvenile stars that settle on the sea floor and add more arms as they grow.

Intel CEO responds to Trump resignation call with letter to employees

Yesterday, President Donald Trump publicly called for Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan’s resignation, over accusations of “deeply conflicted” ties to China. Now, he is speaking out and making it clear he has no plans to step aside. A quick recap Before joining Intel, Tan worked as CEO for Cadence Design Systems, a firm that just pleaded guilty to an investigation by the Justice Department over charges of “selling its chip-design products to a Chinese military university,” per the Wall Street Journal’s des

What jobs, exactly, is so-called "artificial intelligence" supposed to revolutionize, and for whose benefit? The answers to those rarely-asked questions have become increasingly clear in recent months, as the looming threat of AI automation appears to be taking a concrete toll on the workforce. The bombshell July jobs report has finally confirmed what many US workers have been feeling for months: it's almost impossible to find meaningful employment anymore.

Now users are being informed that the beta is slated to end as 2026 gets started.

GPT-5 Under Fire: Red Teaming OpenAI's Model Reveals Surprising Weaknesses

Why We Tested GPT-5 GPT‑5 is making waves as OpenAI’s most advanced general-purpose model: faster, smarter, and more integrated across modalities.

Review: The Sandman S2 is a classic tragedy, beautifully told

I unequivocally loved the first season of The Sandman, the Netflix adaptation of Neil Gaiman's influential graphic novel series (of which I am longtime fan). I thought it captured the surreal, dream-like feel and tone of its source material, striking a perfect balance between the anthology approach of the graphic novels and grounding the narrative by focusing on the arc of its central figure: Morpheus, lord of the Dreaming. It's been a long wait for the second and final season, but S2 retains al
