Singapore Is Proving to Be One of the Worst Places in the World to Post AI Slop (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Many of the things that people have “created” with generative AI fall under the general rubric of “just because you could, doesn’t mean you should.” Rarely has this been truer than in the case of a man in Singapore who last month allegedly decided it’d be a great laugh to share an AI-generated image depicting a crocodile in a reservoir at a popular public park. The park’s staff promptly closed down all aquatic activities in the area and spent two days searching for the crocodile, which—obviously
Watch a DJ Discover Whether You Can Fly a Rocket with a Mixer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Buzz Aldrin once famously pronounced that he had only two interests: “Space exploration and hip hop.” Similarly, while YouTuber Scott Manley has made a name for himself with his videos on rocketry, astrophysics and general space stuff, it turns out that—as befits a Scottish man of a certain age—he’s also a DJ. In a new video that brings these two interests together, Manley takes on the hitherto unattempted task of flying a rocket using a DJ controller. Since he’s not the richest man in the world
Sony Wants to Turn the Playstation Controller Into a Wireless Credit Card Reader (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Read excerpt
Conceptually, a camera is a pretty simple device. It originates in the discovery of the camera obscura—literally “dark room”—and the fact that if you let light through a small hole, or aperture, into a darkened room, you get a projection of the world outside on the wall opposite. (Why this is the case is beyond the remit of this piece, but there’s a good explanation here.) In the 19th century, people began to experiment with capturing that image on a light-sensitive medium (which, for the sake o
Is GTA VI Good or Bad for Miami Beach? The City Commission Is Tearing Itself Apart (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Grand Theft Auto VI—you may have heard of it—is set in a fictionalized version of Miami Beach, and with the game’s release fast approaching, developer Rockstar Games reached out to the real City of Miami Beach to propose a marketing partnership. As Kotaku notes, the idea of empowering the City Manager to negotiate such a partnership was debated at a City Commission meeting on Thursday, and things got weird. The first speaker, Commissioner David Suarez, came out guns blazing, although that partic
