I Watched Every Jimmy Kimmel Monologue Since Charlie Kirk Was Killed and All I Got Was This Sinking Feeling

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-09-18 23:40:17

Jimmy Kimmel became the latest casualty in President Donald Trump’s war on the media on Wednesday when news broke that ABC would be putting the comedian’s late night show on hold indefinitely. And if you’re trying to figure out what Kimmel said that was so offensive, you’re not alone. I watched every monologue that Kimmel has delivered on his ABC show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, since Charlie Kirk was murdered in Utah on Sept. 10. I was expecting there to be something shocking that would at least warra

Nvidia Appeals to Trump With a $5 Billion Intel Stake

gizmodo.com Ece Yildirim 2025-09-19 15:10:23

Nvidia became one of competitor Intel’s largest shareholders on Thursday with a $5 billion stake. The two companies will collaborate to jointly develop PC chips and data centers. Once the dominant name in chips, Intel had been in a steady decline in recent years as it failed to keep up with peers like Nvidia in the AI race. The company started its official turnaround strategy last year by ousting its previous CEO Pat Gelsinger, who was eventually replaced by Lip Bu-Tan a few months later. Las

These Smoked Human Remains May be the Oldest Mummies Known to Science

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-09-19 19:13:53

Researchers have discovered what they believe to be the earliest evidence of artificial mummification known to science, pushing back the timeline for the burial ritual to far before the time of the ancient Egyptians. Hunter-gatherers in Southeast Asia who lived some 20,000 and 4,000 years ago buried their dead in tightly crouched or squatting positions. Not only that, but these communities also practiced a form of mummification that involved drying out the human remains over a fire, as research

They banged drums. They played extremely loud music. They let off foul-smelling smoke from a can. Thousands of people gathered on Wednesday in central London to protest against Trump’s presence in the UK, accusing the UK government of kowtowing to him by hosting him for a state visit for the second time. Some of the placards read “Trump poisons democracy’s blood,” “Trump’s a wanker,” and “Tiny dicktator.” On one banner, surrounding a depiction of the US president as an infant wearing a diaper,

I think ARC-AGI is still the most important benchmark we have today. It’s surprising that LLMs can win the math olympiad but struggle with simple puzzles that humans can solve easily.
