This $30M startup built a dog crate-sized robot factory that learns by watching humans

While many robotics companies are building human-sized robots, or working to automate entire factories, MicroFactory is instead trying to think big by building small. San Francisco-based MicroFactory built a general-purpose, tabletop manufacturing kit that’s about the size of my Siberian Husky’s dog crate. This compact factory includes two robotic arms and can be trained by human demonstration, as well as through AI. “General purpose robots are good, but it’s not necessary [to] be humanoid,” s

Silent Hill f goes back in time and back to basics

Silent Hill f starts off with a grounded (but still heavy) setup, establishing a miserable family dynamic for protagonist Hinako. With an alcoholic, abusive father, a submissive mother and an absent sister, who’s shown in flashbacks with that classic horror trope, face unseen. Something horrible is about to unfold in the sleepy, remote village of Ebisugaoka, sometime in the early 1960s. The latest entry in the Silent Hill series still has jumpscares, like you’d expect from the horror series, bu

Mark Zuckerberg Is Expanding His Secretive Hawaii Compound. Part of It Sits Atop a Burial Ground

As a child, Julian Ako would visit his maternal great-grandfather’s home near Pilaa Beach in Kauai, Hawaii, where he and his family would gather edible fungi that grow on kukui trees and collect seaweed and fish from the reef. For about a decade, that land has belonged to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who is constructing a massive compound at an estimated cost that exceeds $300 million. WIRED can now reveal that Zuckerberg’s property is atop a burial site: Ako’s great-grandmother and her brother we

LIVE Amazon Prime Day 2025: We're Tracking Deals & Trends All Day

The birds may or may not be awake yet where you are, but there’s a great deal on the smart bird feeder I would buy with my own money this Prime Day after testing nearly 20 models over the past year for our guide to the Best Smart Bird Feeders. Many feeders that claim to be squirrel-proof, with various alarms, sloped roofs, and even a microphone where you can yell at them through your phone. (Sorry to the parents at my son’s indoor soccer game last month who witnessed this.) However, many feeder

Relooted Is a Heist Game About Returning African Artifacts to Their Home Countries

One of last year's biggest games, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, revived a hero from a bygone era -- known for retrieving precious artifacts and delivering them to Western museums. At Summer Game Fest, I got to try a game that flips this script. Relooted is all about a team of African specialists liberating artifacts from museums to bring them back to their home countries. Relooted is a 2D puzzle-platformer which tasks players to pull off increasingly complex heists. There's a basic loop o

Researchers Find Elon Musk's New Grok AI Is Extremely Vulnerable to Hacking

Researchers at the AI security company Adversa AI have found that Grok 3, the latest model released by Elon Musk's startup xAI this week, is a cybersecurity disaster waiting to happen. The team found that the model is extremely vulnerable to "simple jailbreaks," which could be used by bad actors to "reveal how to seduce kids, dispose of bodies, extract DMT, and, of course, build a bomb," according to Adversa CEO and cofounder Alex Polyakov. And it only gets worse from there. "It’s not just ja
