Back in 2023, Chevrolet announced it was pulling the plug on the Bolt. Despite overcoming early battery recalls to post record sales figures, GM retired the hatchback to retool its factory for electric trucks and sunset its aging battery platform. Now it’s back, but for only the 2027 model year, Chevy says. That’s sad because this is a really good EV.

Welcome to dystopia – or perhaps better spelled as dystopAI: harassment, humiliation, grooming, sextortion, suicide, and fraud cases exceeding $1.5 billion in 2025. Because humans have an extremely difficult time spotting the difference between authentic images and deepfakes, the crisis is all the more difficult to stop.

While everyone needs technology of one sort or another, certain people shrink from any stigma associated with it. In fact, those people may be less likely to let others see them using that tech no matter how much they need it, even if that wearable technology is as widespread as eyeglasses.

"I'm going to call it Yaffle." That was the final line of my June New Atlas article, Domesticating AI: It's not coming, it's already here. It was a throwaway remark after spending some time with Home Assistant's increasingly capable AI voice assistant, Nabu.

I think we can all agree that proper, boxy SUVs are having a bit of an identity crisis. There was a time when they were slow, lumbering machines that traded speed for the ability to crawl over rocks and wade through rivers. Today, it seems every manufacturer wants one that can do all of that and embarrass a supercar at the traffic lights.

This one came out of nowhere. Honda recently took the stage in India to reveal not one, not two, not three, but a total of 10 new motorcycles for the country. I don’t remember the last time I saw a bikemaker come out swinging as strongly as this.
