Hugh Jackman Wastes No Time Slashing Ryan Reynolds’ Incorrect ‘Deadpool 3’ Title

Super Bowl LVIII meant different things to different people, bringing sports to some, split-second shots of Taylor Swift to others, and the trailer for Deadpool 3 to winners. The first look at the long-awaited threequel didn’t disappoint. The reveals came hard and fast, with everyone from Pyro to the 20th Century Fox logo returning to the screen. At an even more basic level, fans were excited to learn the film’s official title: Deadpool and Wolverine.  Simple as it is, it’s a name that lives up to the promise that…

Tesla recalls over 2.1 million vehicles due to incorrect font size

After conducting a dozen recalls in 2023, Tesla’s latest recall of 2024 might also be its strangest. On Thursday, Tesla filed a recall notice with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for virtually every make and model the company has ever sold — all 2,193,869 cars. Shockingly, it has nothing to do with Autopilot, the steering wheels, or seatbelts. Instead, Tesla had to recall all of its cars due to “an incorrect font size.”The Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) require vehicles…

I fact-checked ChatGPT with Bard, Claude, and Copilot – and this AI was the most confidently incorrect

Methodology So here's the thing. If GPT-4, the OpenAI large language model (LLM) used by ChatGPT Plus, generated the fact statements, I wasn't entirely convinced it should be checking them. That's like asking high school students to write a history paper without using any references, and then self-correct their work. They're already starting with suspect information -- and then you're letting them correct themselves? No, that doesn't sound right to me. Also: Two breakthroughs made 2023 tech's most innovative year in

Changing environments can change layers formation speed in sedimentary rocks, leading to incorrect time estimates

Layers of sedimentary rock are often studied to recreate Earth's history. But rocks aren't always the most reliable historians. New research shows that environmental conditions can substantially affect how—and how fast—sediment accumulates, misleading scientists who are trying to estimate the lengths of time periods in Earth's past. Barefoot et al. studied sedimentation rates and patterns by mimicking a natural

It Might Be Cool to Hate on One of the Best ‘Star Wars’ Movies Ever, but It’s Also Entirely Incorrect

Photo via Lucasfilm It’s easy to look back in hindsight and say that the Disney Star Wars movies haven’t been very good. You wouldn’t be wrong if you said that the films added to the mythos post 2015 have been disappointing, but a line has been crossed as some set their targets on Rogue One. If hating on Rogue One is cool I guess that makes me pretty uncool because it’s one of the best Star Wars films since the original trilogy, (although that isn’t saying much). For those that dislike it, their reasoning lies…

Accepted Theory of Reverse Osmosis Water Desalination Is Incorrect

A new study has discovered that the widely accepted theory of how reverse osmosis works, called the solution-diffusion model, is fundamentally incorrect. The research team conducted experiments and computer simulations which demonstrated that reverse osmosis is driven by pressure changes within the membrane, rather than concentration gradients. This finding challenges the conventional understanding that has been taught for over 50 years and could lead to more effective uses of reverse osmosis in applications such as…

IT Minister pulls up WhatsApp over incorrect map of India shown in tweeted video; platform deletes post, apologises

As the minister called out WhatsApp over the distortions in the map of the country, he also warned that "all platforms that do business in India and/or want to continue to do business in India, must use correct maps". IT Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar on Saturday pulled up WhatsApp for tweeting a video that depicted an incorrect map of India and asked it to fix the error immediately, following which the messaging platform deleted the tweet and apologised. As the minister called out WhatsApp over the
