Spiritually, the unwieldy and unusually heavy Tesla Cybertruck may be more akin to a tank than your typical SUV. Throw some treads onto one, and you may be onto something. And lo and behold, that's pretty much what a team of mechanics did. This monstrosity of a machine comes courtesy of the YouTube channel Sparks […]

Last month, NASA's Ingenuity helicopter finally gave out after years of faithful service on Mars. The spunky little chopper crashed during what was to be its 72nd and final flight on January 18.

Neuralink founder Elon Musk claimed that the first human to receive one of its heavily scrutinized brain implants was able to control a mouse cursor with their mind.

A group of college students were unsettled after a software error in a vending machine led them to discovering an invasive feature — an eerie tale that perfectly illustrates how surveilling tech has crept its way into all kinds of appliances under the guise of being "smart." On its surface, the machine seemed as innocuous […]

How well can the Tesla Cybertruck handle traversing water? Well, if you take Elon Musk at his word, the bulky SUV can double as a boat. If you go by the automaker's warranty, on the other hand: probably not that well. Adding to the confusion, Tesla released a "Wade mode" in December to optimize the […]

Sora, OpenAI's new AI model for generating video, has become the talk of the town since its release last week. But Yann Lecun, chief of AI at Meta, doesn't think the much-hyped text-to-video model is all that. In particular, Lecun takes issue with OpenAI's claims that its work with Sora will eventually enable the building […]

Tinder parent company Match Group, which also owns other dating apps like OkCupid and Hinge, is fully embracing the artificial intelligence craze.
