We Just Got a Major Clue About Why Twitter's CEO Suddenly Left This Week

futurism.com Unknown 2026-02-05 12:16:33

We still don't know why Linda Yaccarino stepped down as CEO of X on Tuesday. Her sudden abdication came off the back of a legendarily horrific freakout by the AI Grok, which saw the chatbot make a series of egregiously racist statements, claiming to be "MechaHitler" and praising Nazis over the course of a chaotic day. But if Yaccarino was fed up with what was going on at the company, she didn't show it. Her announcement was cheery, and her boss Elon Musk gave a curt thanks for her two years of

Will That Massive ‘Superman’ Revelation Impact the Future of DC?

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2026-02-05 20:30:35

James Gunn’s Superman centers on a few key moments. One of the biggest is the message Kal-El, played by David Corenswet, was left with from his Kryptonian parents. If you’ve seen the movie, you know how it plays out. (And, if you haven’t, it’s a pretty big spoiler, so proceed with caution.) Either way, it’s a bombshell revelation that changes not just the character but the entire trajectory of the movie, and so we had to talk to the people most directly affected by it.

Jonathan Feist / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung is actively looking into new types of wearable devices. This includes earrings, necklaces, bracelets, pendants, and so on.

In late 2022, NASA celebrated its Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) as a massive success, a proof of concept for saving humanity in case a similar space rock were to ever head straight for Earth. The small spacecraft smashed into asteroid Didymos' moonlet Dimorphos at a violent 14,000 mph, knocking it severely off course. But three years later, astronomers found that the collision had some unintended consequences. As detailed in a paper published last week in the Planetary Science Journa
