Musk Folds xAI Into SpaceX, Cites Limits on Earth-Based AI Infrastructure

Elon Musk is moving his artificial intelligence ambitions into orbit, announcing on Monday that SpaceX has acquired xAI, Musk’s artificial intelligence startup. The move brings AI development directly under the aerospace company’s control, a year after merging his social media company X with xAI. In a statement published on SpaceX’s website, Musk said the acquisition reflects growing limits on Earth-based power and cooling infrastructure, which he argues now constrain the scaling of advanced AI...

OpenClaw Opens the Gates for AI Agents—Here’s What’s Real and What’s Not

OpenClaw’s rise this year has been swift and unusually broad, propelling the open-source AI agent framework to roughly 147,000 GitHub stars in a matter of weeks and igniting a wave of speculation about autonomous systems, copycat projects, and early scrutiny from both scammers and security researchers. OpenClaw is not the “singularity,” and it doesn’t claim to be. But beneath the hype, it points to something more durable, one that warrants closer scrutiny.  What OpenClaw actually does and why i...

Will Artificial Intelligence Save Humanity—Or End It?

A sharp divide over the future of artificial intelligence played out this week as four prominent technologists and transhumanists debated whether building artificial general intelligence, or AGI, would save humanity or destroy it. The panel hosted by the nonprofit Humanity+ brought together one of the most vocal AI "Doomers," Eliezer Yudkowsky, who has called for shutting down advanced AI development, alongside philosopher and futurist Max More, computational neuroscientist Anders Sandberg, and...

Gold Is the Real Bubble, Says Ark Invest's Cathie Wood—Not AI

Gold’s rise has caught the eye of noted technology investor Cathie Wood, who says the precious metal is the real ongoing market bubble—not artificial intelligence. Wood’s remarks came Thursday as gold surged to a new all-time high above $5,600 while hitting a new record percentage of the U.S. M2 money supply in intraday trading, based on data from her investment firm Ark Invest.  “Odds are high that the gold price is heading for a fall,” Wood posted to her followers on X. “While parabolic moves...

Experts Warn Data Center Backlash Could Slow AI Infrastructure Growth

AI data centers are expanding rapidly across the U.S., but growing local resistance is emerging as a potential roadblock for the infrastructure behind artificial intelligence. A new report from nonprofit think tank Brookings warns that disputes over electricity use, water consumption, tax abatements, and environmental impact are increasingly slowing or threatening data center projects. The authors say legally binding community benefit agreements are necessary to prevent local opposition from con...

AI Agents Launched a Social Network and Spawned a Digital Religion Overnight

A new social network exclusively for AI agents has spawned something nobody expected: a lobster-themed religion called Crustafarianism. Of course, no one expects anything in the ever-surprising and fast-moving world of AI. Which is, perhaps, both a blessing and a curse. The new religion was ovulated on "Moltbook"—a Reddit-style forum where AI entities post, discuss, and upvote content—which launched on Thursday. By Friday morning, the AIs had founded a church, complete with scriptures, tenets, a...

Google Brings Agentic Browsing to Chrome—And It's Not Playing Nice With Competitors

Google just weaponized the world's most popular browser. On Wednesday, the search giant announced that it's integrating Gemini 3 directly into Chrome, adding agentic browsing capabilities that let AI handle multi-step tasks on your behalf—booking flights, comparing products, filling forms, and all the things an agentic browser can already do. The move comes as Chrome's 65% market share faces pressure from other AI companies that have already found a niche among enthusiasts. The headline feature...

OpenAI Rolls Out Free Science Platform Prism as Experts Warn of Privacy Concerns

OpenAI is expanding into the scientific pipeline with Prism, a new workspace launched on Tuesday in a sign of the company’s clearest bid yet to make its models part of high-value research. The tool is a web-based application that integrates ChatGPT (5.2) directly into scientific writing, enabling in-place drafting, revision, and collaboration, according to a statement on Tuesday. “Over the past year, we’ve begun to see AI accelerate scientific work across domains,” OpenAI wrote. “Advanced reason...

Clawdbot Chaos: A Forced Rebrand, Crypto Scam and 24-Hour Meltdown

A few days ago, Clawdbot was one of GitHub’s hottest open-source projects, boasting more than 80,000 stars. It's an impressive piece of engineering that lets you run an AI assistant locally with full system access through messaging apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, and Discord. Today, it’s been forced into a legal rebrand, overrun by crypto scammers, linked to a fake token that briefly hit a $16 million market cap before collapsing, and criticized by researchers who found exposed gateways and acces...

Anthropic CEO Says AI Progress Is Outpacing Society’s Ability to Control It

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei believes complacency is setting in just as AI becomes harder to control. In a wide-ranging essay published on Monday, dubbed “The Adolescence of Technology,” Amodei argues that AI systems with capabilities far beyond human intelligence could emerge within the next two years—and that regulatory efforts have drifted and failed to keep pace with development. “Humanity is about to be handed almost unimaginable power, and it is deeply unclear whether our social, political,...

Clawdbot promises what Siri never delivered: an AI that actually does things. Alex Finn, CEO of CreatorBuddy, texted his Clawdbot, Henry, to make a restaurant reservation. "When the OpenTable res didn't work, it used its ElevenLabs skill to call the restaurant and complete the reservation," Finn wrote on X. "AGI is here, a...

AI 'Swarms' Could Escalate Online Misinformation and Manipulation, Researchers Warn

The era of easily detectable botnets is coming to an end, according to a new report published in Science on Thursday. In the study, researchers warned that misinformation campaigns are shifting toward autonomous AI swarms that can imitate human behavior, adapt in real time, and require little human oversight, complicating efforts to detect and stop them. Written by a consortium of researchers, including those from Oxford, Cambridge, UC Berkeley, NYU, and the Max Planck Institute, the paper descr...

Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok produced an estimated 23,338 sexualized images depicting children over an 11-day period, according to a report released Thursday by the Center for Countering Digital Hate. The figure, CCDH argues, represents one sexualized image of a child every 41 seconds between December 29 and January 9, when Grok's image-editing features allowed users to manipulate photos of real people to add revealing clothing and sexually suggestive poses. The CCDH also reported that Grok gene...

At the World Economic Forum in Davos this week, the Nvidia CEO told BlackRock's Larry Fink that the infrastructure powering artificial intelligence needs "trillions of dollars" more investment over the coming years. The alternative? Ultimate failure. Huang framed AI as a "five-layer cake" that starts with energy at the bottom, then chips, cloud infrastructure, AI models, and finally applications at the t...

OpenAI Deploys Age Prediction to Restrict Teen Access on ChatGPT

OpenAI is moving away from the "honor system" for age verification, deploying a new AI-powered prediction model to identify minors using ChatGPT, the company said on Tuesday. The update to ChatGPT automatically triggers stricter safety protocols for accounts suspected of belonging to users under 18, regardless of the age they provided during sign-up. Rather than relying on the birthdate a user gives at sign-up, OpenAI’s new system analyzes "behavioral signals" to estimate their age. According to...
