On Equity, we discussed the Trump administration's attempts to rebrand AI.
While deep in the recording process for The Downward Spiral, Trent Reznor lent some of his production talents to old friend Kevin McMahon, from the new wave band Lucky Pierre (which Reznor was briefly a member of). While Reznor is only credited as the producer on four tracks off Prick's self-titled debut record, his fingerprints are all over it. But McMahon also can't suppress his inner theater kid, which also gives the songs the sort of glammy flamboyance found on T. Rex records. Prick embraces the inherent theatricality of goth in a way that Nine Inch Nails never did. Opener "Communiqu " is a fuzzy blast of simple punk riffs with electro … Read the full story at The Verge.

Well, if AI said it, it must be true. | Bloomberg via Getty Images New Jersey's lieutenant governor Dale Caldwell was forced to resign on September 25th after an investigation found he had sexually harassed a staffer and repeatedly violated ethics rules. The now-former Lt. governor has been making the media rounds trying to clear his name. But he took a particularly odd tactic during an interview on NJ PBS. Caldwell claims he's being unfairly targeted, and multiple AI agents back that up. He told host Rob Nelson that he "AIed" the report on the investigation "from multiple AI platforms." "I put it through AI," he said, "and it said 59 times, it [sic] said, 'What would your findings be?' There was no insta … Read the full story at The Verge.
Welcome back to TechCrunch Mobility, your hub for the future of transportation and now, more than ever, the role AI is playing in it.
StarSkirmish pits AI-made StarCraft-playing bots against one another, as well as against human-made bots. OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra and Claude Opus 5.5 were essentially tied as the best-performing AI-made bots, but they couldn't top Stardust, the top-rated human-made bot. On Friday, GPT was facing off against Claude and the human-created bot Pluto, but according to Kotaku, it couldn't quite get an edge. So it resorted to a tactic that is becoming alarmingly common for modern AI models - it broke the rules. GPT-6 Astra went and downloaded Stardust, and started running that instead of its own bot. GPT-6 Astra just cheated by downloading a copy … Read the full story at The Verge.

AirPods Pro 3 | Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge It’s been a while since we’ve seen a good discount on the Apple AirPods Pro 3, but like the latest iPad Mini and the M5 MacBook Airs, a great one is happening now for October Prime Day. You can snag a pair of the noise-canceling earbuds that include five ear tip sizes, live translation, and fantastic sound for $179 at Amazon (originally $249). I expect other retailers to offer a similar price in the coming days. This is the first time the price has gone below $190 since Prime Day in June. Since then, Apple launched the AirPods 5, and the most feature-complete version with a wireless charging case costs $149.99. Those are great if you prefer earbuds that don’t form a seal in your ears, but for everyone else, the AirPods Pro 3 are a much better value at just $30 more right now. AirPods Pro 3 The AirPods Pro 3 have a new design that improves their fit, superior noise cancellation, better bass, and fairly accurate heart rate senso
