Elon Musk keeps hyping up his self-driving robotaxis. Can he ever deliver?

In 2019, Elon Musk promised a future of self-driving robotaxis. A fleet of one million cars would be available by 2022, he claimed. 

That never happened. Musk pushed the release date back to 2023, but that date came and went, too. In 2024, Musk finally revealed his design for an autonomous full self-driving (FSD) robotaxi, the Cybercab. But the Cybercab’s premiere

Is it OK to ask your friends to unfollow your ex?

There are certain social media rules we can all agree on: Ghosting a conversation is impolite, and replying “k” to a text is the equivalent of a backhand slap (violent, wrong, and rude).

At a certain point, you’re bound to stumble onto something worthwhile and say to yourself, “Meh, enough’s enough.”

‘The TikTok era comes to an end’: Creators are revealing their secrets, saying goodbye ahead of the U.S. ban

TikTok influencers and power users are taking one last swing at the wildly popular social media platform before it likely goes dark on Sunday, revealing their secrets, saying goodbye, and re-creating the trends that got them millions of views.

The Supreme Court on Friday

The Supreme Court’s decision on TikTok may have just turned a generation off politics

Opinions can be shaped very quickly, and grudges last a long time. Donald Trump knows that better than most. Joe Biden ought to, but seemingly doesn’t.

How else to explain the naivety of taking TikTok to the limit of extinction, then getting the Supreme Court to uphold a law banning the app without any public evidence of the purported national security risk it is?

Except that might not be the case much longer if autonomous trucking company Aurora Innovation has its way.

In 2020, Letterboxd’s highest-rated film was Lee Isaac Chung’s quiet indie Minari, which made a mere $15.5 million globally. Four years later, Denis Villeneuve’s $714.4 million-making juggernaut Dune: Part Two tops the charts. 

These changing tastes could represent a broader shift in Letterboxd’s core user base. The app underwent a seismic growth period over the past four years. In mid-2020, Letterboxd touted 1.8 million members; that number is now over 17 mi
