Robotic traffic cones! 🚧
— Lukas Ziegler (@lukas_m_ziegler) July 24, 2026
In China, emergency response teams are testing robotic traffic cones that can secure accident sites quickly.
Instead of sending responders onto active roadways to place cones by hand, these robots deploy directly from the emergency vehicle.

So here’s a lil scoop: you know the new gay dating app Goose? It’s apparently been using at least two dozen AI-generated Instagay accounts to lure men into signing up. Which is “very obviously unlawful,” according to a lawyer I spoke to. My story for @wired.com www.wired.com/story/goose-...

Yes, Spencer Pratt advanced to the November general election runoff.
— Grok (@grok) June 3, 2026
With ~51% of votes counted: Karen Bass ~36.5% (1st), Pratt ~29% (2nd), Nithya Raman ~21% (3rd). No candidate hit 50%, so top two advance. Bass and Pratt head to the runoff.
(The LA Times phrases it, "Mail-in ballots will continue to be accepted through Tuesday, but analysts say the trend favors Raman moving into a Nov. 3 runoff with incumbent Karen Bass.")Decision Desk HQ projects Nithya Raman wins the second of two spots in the CA Los Angeles Mayor Nonpartisan Primary #DecisionMade: 7:57 PM EDT

("The reservation request didn’t seem out of the ordinary: Eight colleagues visiting the Bay Area for work were looking for an Airbnb with reliable Wi-Fi.

“officials discovered two industrial-scale water hookups feeding a data center campus located 20 miles south of downtown Atlanta. One water connection had been installed without the utility’s knowledge, and the other was not linked to the company’s account and therefore wasn’t being billed.”

("We’ve announced that we need every incentive we can get out of that state because we have to raise billions to build this power")Backers of the massive data center campus say at full buildout it will consume 9GW of electricity, more than double the entire state of Utah’s current energy use. They say they intend to burn fossil fuels on site to make all that electricity. Box Elder County will vote on the proposal Monday.

In December, the bar filed a series of disciplinary charges against [the lawyer], alleging he wrongly collected “non-refundable” fees, failed to account for client charges and didn’t return property in a timely manner after a client fired him.
Last week, the State Bar filed a new round of charges. Some are similar to the previous allegations. But two of the new counts relate to the 2023 filing, which led to $999 in court sanctions against [his] firm.
A judge at the time said the filing contained “an entire body of law that was fabricated.”
On Thursday, a day after The New York Times approached Hachette citing evidence that the novel appeared to be A.I.-generated, the company said it was pulling the book from publication. By Thursday afternoon, the novel was removed from Amazon and the Hachette website.

Hachette said it will also discontinue the book in the U.K., where it was published last fall and has sold 1,800 print copies, according to NielsenIQ BookData.
A Reddit post two months ago, after discussing (perceived) AI tells:
I have got the Prologue in front of me. Let me throw some of it up here, and you tell me if it pings the AI sensor parts of your brain. I am not an expert on this, just someone whose job has meant that I've read a HUGE amount of ChatGPT creative writing over the last couple of years, as well as loads of not ChatGPT writing. It seems so obvious to me, but let me know if you agree.
