Robotaxis: Golden State Style. Tesla is launching a "robotaxi" service in San Francisco, but it will use human-driven cars, like taxis. We assume the issue isn’t with their autonomous software, but instead because Tesla has nothing else to do with the thousands of beaded seat covers that they ordered before the tariff hike. We’re probably wrong.

The Silk Road for Silicon Thrives. Despite U.S. export controls, over $1 billion in Nvidia AI chips, like the B200, were smuggled into China within three months. And here we thought the “Heroin For Chips Act” would never work!

Even AI Watches Porn. A new lawsuit claims Meta pirated and seeded nearly 2,400 adult films since 2018 to train its AI models. If this much porn doesn’t convince us all that Zuckerberg is, in fact, human - then what will?!

We all chase that elusive "great night's sleep," but it's more than just feeling rested.

New science reveals sleep is a powerhouse for brain health, immunity, and even mental well-being. From clearing neural cobwebs to bolstering our defenses to sorting through and reorganizing our thoughts, good sleep is imperative.

What does the latest research have to say about why sleep matters? Too much sleep must be good, right?

Can we even achieve restorative sleep in our 24/7 always-on world?

And yes, we’re going to have to talk about that cell phone of yours.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., now leading the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, targets the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). His proposed overhauls, including expanding compensation for debunked links to autism and chronic illnesses, threaten to deplete the fund and push vaccine makers out of the U.S. market, imperiling crucial childhood immunizations and public health. This is bad.

Netflix subtly used generative AI for a fleeting building collapse in The Eternaut (eh-TER-naut), unnoticed by viewers. This marks the streamer's first on-screen GenAI footage, created 10x faster and cheaper. It proves AI can enhance visuals for modest budgets, signaling a significant shift in entertainment production, despite ongoing industry debates. This is good!

Trump's poised to sign the GENIUS Act, a stablecoin bill. Critics, including Rep. Maxine Waters, warn it lacks consumer safeguards and could enable presidential corruption and hidden foreign bribes, especially with Trump's crypto ties. The act aims to boost crypto use, yet fears of financial instability and scams persist. And this is bad.
