Grok's crisis isn't about AI capabilities. ChatGPT and Gemini generate similar content. The difference: X publishes outputs to a public feed by default. That architectural choice, plus gutted safety teams, created the first mainstream abuse engine.
Google and Character.AI settled lawsuits from families of teenagers who died after talking to chatbots. No liability admitted. No trial. The first AI harm settlements reveal what the industry fears most: discovery.

Google sold Boston Dynamics in 2017 because robots that impressed YouTube couldn't find paying customers. Now they're partners again. But the gap between Hyundai's 30,000-robot ambitions and last year's 500-unit reality tells a more complicated story.
Every major AI CEO publicly endorsed Nvidia's new Rubin platform at CES. When your competitors line up to praise your product launch, you've stopped selling chips. You're selling infrastructure nobody can afford to skip.
Samsung pledges to double AI devices to 800 million while warning chip shortages will force price hikes. The contradiction reveals how memory costs are killing hardware margins—pushing the company toward insurance data monetization instead.
Three months after a $2.5 billion SPAC, Kodiak announces it needs Bosch to manufacture its autonomous trucks. The partnership reveals the gap between building software and building a business—and what happens when scaling meets reality.
AI data centers are draining the memory supply that consumer electronics need, forcing Framework to raise RAM prices 50%. Your next laptop will cost more and ship with less memory. The AI boom is making consumer tech worse, not better.
Meta's chief AI scientist just gave an interview that undercuts the tidy narrative. What it reveals about benchmark gaming, leadership panic, and the dead end of language model scaling.
A German indie developer spent 18 months building AI autocomplete that works everywhere on your Mac. It runs locally, costs nothing in cloud fees, and faces one existential threat: Apple announcing the same feature as a macOS bullet point.
