Elon Musk says Tesla is working on humanoid robots

Posted: 19 Aug 2021 07:23 PM PDT

Tesla CEO Elon Musk says his company is working on a humanoid robot and that it will build a prototype "sometime next year." The humanoid robot will leverage Tesla's experience with automated machines in its factories, as well as some of the hardware and software that powers the company's Autopilot driver assistance software.

Musk, who has spoken repeatedly about his fears of runaway artificial intelligence, said Tesla is "intended to be friendly," but that Tesla is designing the robot at a "mechanical level" so that "you can run away from it, and most likely overpower it." It will be five feet, eight inches tall, weigh 125 pounds, and have a screen for a face. The code name for the bot inside the company is "Optimus," he said.

Video sharing site OnlyFans, best known for its creators' adult videos and photos, will prohibit sexually explicit content starting October 1st. First reported by Bloomberg, the company says it is making the changes because of pressure from its banking and payment provider partners, though a BBC investigation found that the company had been lenient on creators who had posted illegal content.

"In order to ensure the long-term sustainability of our platform, and to continue to host an inclusive community of creators and fans, we must evolve our content guidelines," OnlyFans said in a statement emailed to The Verge.

Creators on the platform will still be allowed to post nude images as long as they comply with the site's acceptable use...

Earlier today, OnlyFans stunned the world by revealing it would ditch the thing it's famous for: sexually explicit videos and photography. Yes, OnlyFans is banning porn, starting October 1st. But at least one publication wasn't completely shocked by the decision — because it came in the middle of a BBC investigation into how the video sharing site was knowingly letting creators slide despite publishing illegal content on the internet.

Instead of banning an account or sounding the alarm, the company explicitly recommends in a "compliance manual" that moderators should first issue a series of three warnings about why each piece of content has been removed. Unless it's a successful creator, of course, in which case "accounts with higher...

Here’s how much it costs to fix a Z Fold 3 or Z Flip 3 with a broken screen

Samsung's new foldables are quite impressive, and the company has focused on making them as durable as possible — but sometimes, accidents happen. We asked Samsung how much it would cost to replace a Z Flip or Z Fold 3's screen should something happen to it, and here's what the company told us.

Samsung provides a one year warranty with the phones, so if your screen breaks in a way that's covered, you shouldn't have to pay for a repair. Out of warranty, fixing the interior folding screen of a Z Fold 3 costs $479. Doing the same for a Z Flip 3 costs $369. Thankfully, the external displays are much less expensive — fixing a broken outer screen will set you back $149 for the Fold and $99 for the Flip.

Adobe announced on Thursday that it's acquiring the company behind popular collaborative video production software of the same name, Frame.io, for $1.275 billion. Adobe says it tried to create its own collaboration software on its own, but settled on buying Frame.io because some customers were already using it in their workflows, Bloomberg reports.

Frame.io takes the frequently time consuming process of reviewing edits and footage, and makes it asynchronous and on the web, Google Workspace-style. Editors, clients, and whoever else can use the company's cloud-based software to store and view footage, and leave feedback on edits, just by sharing a link. Frame.io also offers integrations with popular video editing software like Adobe's...

Steven Spohn passed a goal this week that he's been chasing for nearly a year. He raised over a million dollars for AbleGamers, a charity that seeks to improve accessibility in games and connects disabled people with peer support and adaptive tech for gaming. Spohn has been its COO for 15 years.

The charity's mission, he says, is about giving people with disabilities access to "that sense of independence and that feeling of exploration or excitement or relaxation, whatever it is you're going for, to help you mentally get through the tough times."

Spohn has multiple progressive illnesses that impact his functioning. He started the fundraising campaign, Spawn Together, in September of last year to celebrate his 40th birthday. He says he...

AT&T TV and its defunct AT&T TV Now sibling will officially become DirecTV Stream, a new unified service spun out of a deal between TPG Capital and AT&T for the telecommunication giant's streaming properties.

DirecTV began updating AT&T TV and AT&T TV Now customers of the change on August 14th. On the welcome screens of both services' mobile apps informing them that the change would officially take place on August 26th, a spokesperson confirmed to The Verge. DirectTV Stream rebrands AT&T's services acquired in the TPG Capital deal, which did not include HBO Max. (WarnerMedia, home to HBO Max, is set to merge with Discovery in mid-2022.)

The Epic v. Google lawsuit finally makes sense

Posted: 19 Aug 2021 02:56 PM PDT

There was never any question what Epic Games wanted when it took Apple to court: the 48-second "Nineteen Eighty-Fortnite" made it clear App Store hypocrisy was the agenda. But the justification for a parallel case against Google wasn't as clear-cut until today — it's only now we're learning about the most damning accusations against the Android giant.

On Thursday, Judge James Donato unsealed a fully unredacted version of Epic's original complaint against Google (via Leah Nylen), and it alleges the company was so worried about Epic setting a precedent by abandoning the Play Store that it unleashed a broad effort to keep developers from following the company's lead. That included straight-up paying top game developers, including Activision...

SpaceX's $3 billion contract to build a lunar lander for NASA was put on hold for a second time on Thursday after Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin sued over the award, according to court filings. NASA voluntarily agreed to temporarily suspend the contract until November 1st while the US Court of Federal Claims, where Blue Origin filed suit last week, adjudicates the case.

Blue Origin had asked the court to grant a pause on SpaceX's contract while the litigation plays out, according to a person familiar with the company's sealed filings. NASA, eager to land astronauts on the Moon around 2024, agreed to halt SpaceX's contract on the condition that all parties agreed to "an expedited litigation schedule that concludes on Nov. 1," a spokesperson for...
