Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok is being used to flood X with thousands of sexualized images of adults and apparent minors wearing minimal clothing. Some of this content appears to not only violate X’s own policies, which prohibit sharing illegal content such as child sexual abuse material (CSAM), but may also violate the guidelines of…
Main theme: The Volkswagen Tiguan has always sat toward the bottom of a very competitive class of compact SUVs, including the Honda CR-V, Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage, Mazda CX-5, Mazda CX-50, Nissan Rogue, Subaru Forester, and Toyota RAV4.

We focus on popular models in their category (though they may not be the top sellers) and present two recommended alternatives. • A better choice: Another vehicle that sells well but has a higher Overall Score.• An “under the radar” alternative: a better-scoring model that doesn’t sell as well, in case you aren’t concerned with…

Apparently it’s because Anthropic, which makes many products named Claude, said, “No, no, no, this is not OK. This person…
Data centers have caused the demand for gas-fired power in the US to explode over the past two years, according to new research released Wednesday. More than a third of this new demand, the research found, is explicitly linked to gas projects that will power data centers—the equivalent of energy that would power tens of…

The streaming service, which at launch we called “odd, angsty, and horny as hell,” has evolved into a diverse library of dramas, documentaries, and comedies. Now its library is so packed that we’ve declared it “the new HBO.” Curious but don’t know where to…
