Fresh off of making unsubstantiated claims about "the left" being behind the assassination of right-wing pundit Charlie Kirk, billionaire Elon Musk is ready to continue his unhinged, rage-filled meltdown. In the early morning hours of Thursday, Musk furthered a baseless conspiracy theory that former OpenAI researcher Suchir Balaji, who passed away last year, was "murdered/ The late 26-year-old software engineer, an OpenAI whistleblower, had gone to the New York Times months before his passing...| Futurism
The decomposed remains of a woman were found Monday in the front trunk of a Tesla which had been impounded in a Los Angeles tow yard. The vehicle is registered to the singer D4vd, who's currently on tour. Sources told the Los Angeles Times that the remains were a "head and torso" stashed inside a bag in the trunk. They were so horrendously decomposed, KTLA first reported, that the LA County medical examiner couldn't initially determine the gender of the deceased, who has not yet been identifi...| Futurism
In a major change in tune, Google admitted that the "open web is already in rapid decline" — despite being adamant for months that the "web is thriving." As first spotted by The Verge, the tech giant attempted to dissuade regulators from breaking up its advertising tech business, arguing that doing so would harm publishers who rely on advertising revenues. Google argued that splitting up its ad business would "only accelerate" the open web's decline ahead of an antitrust trial in a DC court...| Futurism

There’s some good news for tech enthusiasts: the amount of money being spent on AI is so enormous, it’s literally saving the US economy — the largest national economy in the world.

In 2024, the S&P 500 grew by an incredible 24 percent — what the investment firm Charles Schwab called a “very good year.” Since 2023, nearly half the growth was cluste...| Futurism
Ten years ago, it was rare to see a Tesla on the road. The Model S, despite being the world's best selling EV at the time, sold just over 50,000 units worldwide, making it rarer to see on the road than the exceedingly rare Porsche Macan. In the following years, Tesla rocketed to the top of the sales charts, cementing its Model Y as the best selling vehicle of 2023. Now, Tesla's once dominant empire has shriveled to a shell of its former self. Though EV company once commanded a whopping 80 per...| Futurism
The US Education Department, which is set to be dismantled under president Donald Trump, has released the math and reading test scores of American high-school seniors — and they're an absolute disaster. As the Wall Street Journal reports, the scores have hit an all-time low, a worrying sign that the rapid rise of technologies, including artificial intelligence chatbots, and the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, are massively hampering learning skills among young people.
