Over the past few days, France and Malaysia have joined India in condemning Grok for creating sexualized deepfakes of women and minors. The chatbot, built by Elon Musk’s AI startup xAI and featured on his social media platform X, posted an apology to its account earlier this week, writing, “I deeply regret an incident on Dec 28, 2025, where I generated and shared an AI image of two young girls (estimated ages 12-16) in sexualized attire based on a user’s prompt.” The statement continued, “This violated ethical standards and potentially US laws on [child sexual abuse material].

Anyone who has spent even a few scrolls on the beauty side of TikTok has likely seen someone use the Dieux Instant Angel moisturizer. Rich, without being too heavy, and packed with fatty acids, peptides, ceramides, glycerin, and squalane, the product has held universal appeal since its 2022 launch—apt for both hydration and skin barrier repair. But despite so many reasons to love it, Dieux co-founder and chief brand officer Charlotte Palermino didn’t anticipate it skyrocketing to viral acclaim.“I saw how my skin responded to Instant Angel, so I knew the formula was good, but I didn’t expect celebrities who…

CD Projekt Red is currently at work on The Witcher 4, but the Polish studio may also have something planned for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Recent rumors have been floating around online of a new paid expansion for the action-RPG, which turned a decade old in May 2025. These claims first came from Polish leaker Borys Nieśpielak, who alleged months ago the add-on is being made by Fool’s Gold, the studio tasked with remaking the original Witcher game. Nieśpielak initially said to expect an announcement during last December’s Game Awards, which didn’t pan out. But he recently told Eurogamer of a comment…

Troyes revival draws City Group attention as youth pathway delivers hopeThere is a quiet confidence running through Troyes this season, one built on patience rather than proclamation. As reported by L’Equipe, Edwin Pindi may insist that “seventeen matchdays are both short and long,” yet history suggests that leading Ligue 2 at the halfway stage carries weight. Over the last twelve seasons, autumn champions have been promoted eleven times, eight of them as title winners. Only Brest in 2016 to 2017 bucked the trend.AdvertisementStill, caution defines Troyes’ approach. Pindi is careful not to be swept away by momentum, admitting, “To be…

Hardware maker Plaud launched a new AI notetaker called Plaude NotePin S, along with a desktop app that helps you take notes for digital meetings, ahead of this year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. The company first launched its pin-styled notetaker in 2024, which my former colleague Brian Heater really liked. The new pin brings a physical button that lets you start and stop the recording. Plus, during the recording, you can tap the button to highlight a certain point — just like you can do on the newly launched Plaud Note Pro. One nice thing about the…

We’re just hours away from the start of CES 2026, and with that comes Intel’s launch event. The chip giant is expected to provide more details on its AI PC initiative and the new processors powering it: The Core Ultra Series 3 CPUs (aka Panther Lake) are made using an 18A process — that’s 18 angstroms, or just under 2nm — and designed for high-end laptops and gaming devices.For Intel, the stakes at CES are higher than ever. In the past 12 months, both NVIDIA and the US government acquired ownership stakes in the company, helping nearly double the stock…

Imagn Images Two longtime AFC West rivals face off with little on the line on Sunday when the Las Vegas Raiders host the Kansas City Chiefs in an NFL Week 18 matchup. The Raiders (2-14) are the favorites to win the top pick in the NFL Draft as they haven’t won since Week 6. A 34-10 loss to the nearly as inept Giants last week was their 10th in a row. The Chiefs were eliminated from the playoffs in Week 15, and star quarterback Patrick Mahomes was lost with a torn ACL in that loss to the Chargers. The Raiders…
