Boston Dynamics’ bipedal robot Atlas is now tossing tool bags around a (fake) construction site
Is Boston Dynamics slowly preparing to put its bipedal robots to work?

That said, it is likely to become far more frequent as clashes between the west and eastern ideologies continue to escalate.
Tempe police are investigating the destruction of a religious symbol placed on "A" Mountain (also known as Hayden Butte) for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Officers say a Muslim student group from...

California May Flip 50-Year Nuclear Moratorium
California May Flip 50-Year Nuclear Moratorium
California, long a leader in aggressive renewable energy mandates, is showing early signs of softening its decades-old ban on new nuclear power. Bloomberg reported cracks are appearing in the state’s 1976 moratorium, driven by surging electricity demand from AI data centers and the challenge of hitting absurd climate targets like 90% clean electricity by 2035 and 100% by 2045.
