Elon Musk – formerly known as a Tesla CEO, now a ubiquitous Twitter troll – never stops flabbergasting the Twitter community. The CEO who never sleeps seemed caused the outage of Twitter over the weekend with his newest decision.
Under the excuse of addressing extreme data scraping and system manipulation, Elon Musk put a limit to how many posts users could read per day. The numbers of posts varied depending on whether Twitter users were verified, unverified, or novel.
Such a move infuriated the community, up to the point that the users accused Musk of restricting freedom of speech and breaking the First Amendment.

In an extraordinary achievement, Apple has become the first company in history to reach a market value of $3 trillion. This milestone comes amidst a remarkable surge in Big Tech stocks, propelling the Nasdaq to its best first-half performance in 40 years. Apple’s stock price rose by over 2% on Friday, reaching a record high of $193.97. With 15.7 billion shares outstanding, this significant increase has solidified Apple’s position as a tech giant with an unprecedented market value. This isn’t the first time Apple has approached the $3 trillion mark. On January 3, 2022, the company briefly touched the milestone during intraday trading but failed to close at that level. However, this time, Apple managed to comfortably surpass the required mark, having closed at a record high share price for three consecutive days leading up to the breakthrough.

These restrictions aim to address concerns over national security and intellectual property risks associated with the transfer of sensitive technologies.

Computer-generated imagery (CGI) is now a common feature in contemporary films. It spans various genres such as action, superhero, sci-fi, and epic fantasy.
However, achieving high-quality CGI is a challenging and costly endeavor. Creating convincing big action scenes and realistic visual effects pose significant difficulties. Thus, if not done correctly, CGI may have disastrous effects (pun not intended). Due to this, many films with an otherwise great story and plot may falling short in this aspect.
While spotting flaws in CGI productions might require a watchful eye and expertise, there are certain motion pictures where even a casual viewer can easily spot the mistakes. We present you the list of films with the most catastrophic ones.

Advancements in artificial intelligence seem to have gone too far, some would say to the verge of creepiness. The latest development fostered by developer Enias Cailliau may make it possible to clone people.
Like a creepy concoction of Don’t Worry Darling and Her, Cailliau has successfully cloned his girlfriend into an AI bot, affectionately named SachaGPT. What’s both intriguing and unsettling is that anyone can do the same as the developer shared the entire making process and codes on Twitter.
