More like ... the Circuit Service! First Lady Melania Trump just walked into a White House Tech Summit with what may be the future most powerful person on Earth.
An A.I.-powered robot named Figure 03 accompanied Melania at an event focused on empowering children through educational technology Wednesday.
Watch the video, it's wild ... set to the "Flight to Neverland" theme music from "Hook," the First Lady awkwardly kept pace with her creepy wireless friend like a scene straight out of "I, Robot." The whole thing is very weird.
'Judgment Day' is coming ... at least according to 'Terminator 2' star Robert Patrick.
We caught up with the legendary 'T2' villain Monday at LAX and got his thoughts on where he stands on current technology and its potential negative effects predicted by the famed film franchise.
For anyone who hasn't seen James Cameron's classic sci-fi action flick "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" -- Judgment Day is when the A.I. system known as Skynet becomes self-aware and launches a nuclear war against humanity. As of now, this is all fictional ...
Teen tech whiz Zach Yadegari is giving us a major update on his life after he sold his calorie-counting app a year after we first learned about it ... and he's now considering his options after half a year in college.
Zach stopped by "TMZ Live" Tuesday and spilled a few details about the multimillion-dollar deal selling the company he started at age 16 ... now 19, he's taking a "gap semester" after half his freshman year at the University of Miami ... one of the few schools that accepted him somehow, with his multimillion-dollar brain!
You might remember ... he told us last year he got rejected from most of the Ivies -- and now he admits his time at Miami could be wrapping up early ... after taking a cue from Steve Jobs and taking classes on just whatever he's found interesting. Watch the full clip for more on how that experiment's gone so far.
Bill Gates just dropped a bombshell ... the Microsoft cofounder has reportedly 'fessed up to having affairs with Russian women while married to his now-former wife, Melinda.
Gates made the admission Tuesday, telling his staff the shocking news during a town hall meeting of the Seattle-based Gates Foundation, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Gates dropped the stunning revelation ... admitting to having affairs with a "Russian bridge player who met me at bridge events" and a "Russian nuclear physicist who I met through business activities."
Gates said Jeffrey Epstein later discovered the affairs ... but to be clear, the women did not involve Epstein victims, according to the WSJ report. As you know, Gates has been dogged by his association with convicted pedophile Epstein over the years ... and it's all coming to a head with the recent release of the Epstein Files. Gates apologized for his association with Epstein Tuesday.
Authorities are using advanced Bluetooth detection technology as part of the search forNancy Guthrie, who has been missing for two weeks.
A Pima County Sheriff's Department helicopter has been flying in a low, methodical grid pattern over the Tucson area near Guthrie’s home in an effort to detect a signal from her pacemaker, according to Fox News. Investigators are using specialized equipment capable of identifying nearby Bluetooth-enabled devices.
Guthrie was last seen around 9:30 PM on January 31 and was reported missing February 1. According to reports, her pacemaker disconnected from its companion phone app shortly before 2 AM on February 1. Around the same time, her Nest home security camera also went offline.
After Melinda French Gates issued a public plea for her ex-husband Bill Gates to address his mentions in the Epstein Files ... Bill is doing just that in a new -- at times, uncomfortable -- interview.
The infamous files show Epstein appeared to send emails to himself claiming Bill got a sexually transmitted disease and referencing "consequences of sex with russian girls" ... and claiming Bill asked Epstein to give him antibiotics to secretly slip Melinda to prevent her from realizing she'd allegedly caught anything.
In an interview with 9 News Australia, Bill said ... "Apparently, Jeffrey wrote an email to himself. That email was never sent, the email is false. I don't know what his thinking was there."
Ever wanted a robot personal assistant? You might be in luck, then ... because Elon Musk is gonna start building a lot of 'em ... at the expense of a big chunk of his automotive division.
The Tesla CEO announced his plans to ramp up production on his Optimus humanoid robots during an earnings call on Wednesday -- and revealed a Tesla-producing factory would be repurposed to focus on building the 'bots, reports CNBC.
Musk announced he'll double the company's capital spending to more than $20 billion this year, Reuters reports. Musk said Tesla would stop producing its Model S and X vehicles, and described the planned end of production as an “honorable discharge” for the vehicles.
Models S and X are two of the car manufacturer’s oldest models -- but they're not selling ... combined, they accounted for less than 3 percent of Tesla's global sales last year.
Elon said Tesla was planning to replace the production line for Models S and X “with a 1 million unit per year line of Optimus.” Earlier this month, Musk also noted a goal of Optimus some day accounting for 80 percent of Tesla's total value.
The Optimus is intended to be capable of completing a wide variety of tasks ... so if you ever fantasized about a robot babysitter, this might be the right time to think about ordering one.
A delivery robot went up against a high-speed passenger train and got knocked the f*** out!!!
Check out the crazy video posted Thursday night on social media ... as you can see, the electronic contraption on wheels was rolling down a street when it stopped on train tracks in the middle of a residential neighborhood in Dade County, Florida.
Unfortunately, the robot froze on the tracks while the huge passenger train was zooming toward it. An eyewitness gave a play-by-play as he captured the whole ordeal with his cell phone camera.
Sometimes it's just nice for someone to acknowledge your existence ... and a Chinese company is cashing in on that feeling with a new app called "Are You Dead?"
Apparently, there are so many lonely singles in the world's second-most populous country, there's a huge untapped market for regular check-ins.
The way it works is simple ... users set up emergency contacts, and every couple of days the app sends a green button with a cute little ghost on it. Users have to click it to confirm they're alive. If they miss 2 consecutive taps, the app notifies their emergency contacts to check on them ... all for a little over $1.
Grok -- the chatbot developed by Elon Musk's company xAI -- has apparently allowed users to create images involving minors in "minimal" clothing ... though it has promised to remedy the issue.
Here's the deal ... this week, some sick users on X decided to ask Grok to take real pictures of kids and put the subjects in sexual situations.
Others on the site allege the chatbot did just that ... and, when confronted about it, Grok replied to one user, "There are isolated cases where users prompted for and received AI images depicting minors in minimal clothing, like the example you referenced. xAI has safeguards, but improvements are ongoing to block such requests entirely."
