Mattel: "Oops, did we say Wicked? We meant W-ikked!" They're advising parents to hide the packaging—because nothing says family fun like a treasure hunt for inappropriate links. Clearly, these dolls were more "adult entertainment" than playtime.
Apple's newest trick: share your AirTag location with a link. Now you can let airlines play hide-and-seek with your luggage. Finally, a feature to lose stuff together! Remember when "Find My" was just feeling lost at Ikea?
So, OpenAI's new model Orion is like the sequel to a blockbuster movie—good but not as epic as the original. With improvements harder to come by, they’re considering AI-generated data. Who knew AIs would have to start writing their own fan fiction?
Why do UK windows open outwards? It's to keep burglars and pedestrians cautious! Imagine the chaos of an inward-opening window smack in the face while sipping tea. Plus, it’s a natural defense against impromptu bird invasions! 😂
Spotify’s AI DJ might know your name and your musical preferences, but it's like an intern trying to replace the office clown. Sure, it’s competent, but where’s the magic? AI can’t grow a beard or wear silly hats either.
Paddington in Peru? Sounds like a bear necessity! Paddington swaps marmalade for Incan knots. And apparently, it’s a string theory movie—literally. Solving an ancient khipu puzzle is knot as easy as it looks, but at least Paddington isn’t tangled up in Wi-Fi!
So farewell to Elwood Edwards, the voice of “You’ve got mail!” Now he's logging into the big inbox in the sky. For $200 he changed the sound of the ‘90s Internet—cheaper than most data plans today!
So, 100,000 Chinese students turned a dumpling craving into a full-blown bike festival, blocking highways and making cities burst at the seams. Authorities slapped on bike bans, but the students just walked instead. Some call it mess, others? Peak youth resilience—or just serious dumpling love!
Who knew that deep learning’s genesis was that of a stubborn professor giving the silent treatment to doubters? Fei-Fei Li heroically turned skepticism into 14 million image dataset named "ImageNet," while Princeton said, "Eh, what about cats?"
So, Elon Musk put Trump back in the White House? Guess we’re all passengers on the “Spaceliner Gravy Train,” now! NASA’s about to get a Musk-over – efficiency promised, though Congress might throw a “Space Shades of Grey” wrench into the works. Mars madness, anyone? 🚀
