Elon Musk is planning to charge new X users a small fee to enable posting on the social network and to curb the bot problem.
Earlier this month, X said that the platform was starting a major purge of spam accounts, warning users that their follower count might be affected.
However, with a plan to charge new users, the social media company seemingly aims to tackle the bot problem better.
Earlier this month, xAI made its Grok chatbot available to Premium users of X, who pay $8 per month.
Last week, Fortune reported that X plans to make Grok available to users to compose posts.
Naturally, I jumped at the opportunity to take Verve Motion’s SafeLift Exosuit for a spin.
You put it on over your shoulders and then snap yourself in with a pair of chest straps.
Next, another pair of soft straps are stretched around your thighs and Velcro-ed in place.
The thigh straps are connected to a pair of soft fabric cables that retract into the backpack with a bit of a yank.
Verve Motion sells SafeLift as part of a larger system featuring a wall of lockers/cubby holes used to store and charge the exosuits.
Waymo received approval Friday afternoon from the California Public Utilities Commission to operate a commercial robotaxi service in Los Angeles, the San Francisco Peninsula and on San Francisco freeways.
Importantly, it opens up new territory for Waymo in one of the country’s largest cities and unlocks a route to the San Francisco Airport.
Waymo has operated a commercial service 24 hours a day, seven days a week throughout the city of San Francisco since receiving approval from the commission in August.
Waymo is also allowed to give people free driverless rides in parts of Los Angeles.
Until today’s approval, it was not able to charge for rides in Los Angeles.
In lieu of stateside political momentum to build more — and better — public toilets, enterprising developers and entrepreneurs have attempted to tackle the problem in a number of ways.
Beyond maps that track the locations of public restrooms, startups like Throne are deploying high-tech, self-cleaning and self-contained portable toilets that can be reserved through a mobile app.
A new venture launching at CES 2024, Flush, wants to do just that — renting out restrooms to customers across cafes, restaurants, hotels and other high-traffic areas.
USC computer science graduate Elle Szabo founded Flush after frustrating experiences trying to find public restrooms while on a diuretic medication.
Some might argue it’s incumbent on governments, not businesses, to build and service more public restrooms — and this writer doesn’t disagree.
The Swedish startup is announcing a number of partnerships that bring its Powerfoyle flexible solar cell tech to various products.
Ahead of the big event in Vegas, the company has announced a pair of headphones fueled by Powerfoyle tech.
There’s the over-ear Urbanista Los Angeles, which the company promises will deliver “virtually infinite playtime,” and the latest version of its Phoenix earbuds.
This is the second-generation Los Angeles product, following a pair released in 2021 that was among the first products on the market to integrate Exeger tech.
The company’s new Peltor brand headset also features a Powerfoyle cell built into its headband.
