Conspiracy theorists are blaming flash floods on cloud seeding — it has to stop

As The Verge's resident disaster writer, I'm tired of this nonsense. So let's just get into it. What is cloud seeding? Cloud seeding is basically an attempt to make precipitation fall from clouds. It targets clouds that have water droplets that are essentially too light to fall. Scientists at MIT learned in the 1940s that if you inject a mineral into the cloud that's similar to the crystalline structure of ice - typically silver iodide or salt - those small water droplets start to freeze to the mineral. This creates heavier ice particles that can eventually fall down to the…

The Powerbeats Pro 2 are down to their best price yet for Prime Day

Heart rate monitoring, here we come. The Powerbeats Pro 2 are only a few months old, but they’re already on sale for an all-time low of around $179.95 ($70 off) at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy.

Grok stops posting text after flood of antisemitism and Hitler praise

Grok stops posting text after flood of antisemitism and Hitler praise

On Tuesday, X users observed Grok celebrating Adolf Hitler and making antisemitic posts, and X owner xAI now says it’s “actively working to remove” what it calls “inappropriate posts” made by the AI chatbot. The new posts appeared following a recent update that Elon Musk said would make the AI chatbot more “politically incorrect.” Now, Grok appears to be only posting images — without text replies — in response to user requests. Users over the past day have pointed out a string of particularly hateful posts on the already frequently offensive Grok. In one post, Grok said that Hitler would…
