AI Agents, Cybertruck Fails, and the Founder of Truth Social

The Tesla Cybertruck’s launch has been far from smooth, to say the least. We’ve heard about the time a car wash bricked a Cybertruck, the frunk’s taste for fingers and that coolant leaks aren’t covered by the warranty even if you’ve only driven 35 miles since taking delivery.

One new Cybertruck owner even ended up in the hospital after cutting his wrist during delivery. - Collin Woodard, Jalopnik Read More

And while Trump won’t be sentenced until July, large sections of the internet celebrated that Trump was finally facing consequences after so many years of being above the law. - Matt Novak Read More

In a matter of two months, hopes for the Rabbit R1 and Humane AI devices crashed and burned. They presented radical new form factors and promised to break our addiction to screens but when we finally got our hands on them, they were totally busted. Some people, however, aren’t ready to let go of the idea of a gadget that offers app functionality without the allure of a big bright screen. What if I told you the answer has been staring us in the face? - Rhett Jones Read More

If you tuned in for Google I/O, OpenAI’s Spring Update, or Microsoft Build this month, you probably heard the term AI agents come up quite a lot in the last month.
