It looks like Elon Musk’s X could be in hot water again, as it continues to skirt regulations around potentially offensive content.
Over the last few weeks, a new trend has emerged on X, where X users prompt X’s Grok chatbot in-stream to convert images of people, mostly women, into naked or near-naked depictions of the same. That’s also veered into CSAM territory, with some users prompting Elon’s “unhinged” chatbot to strip down images of child actors to bikinis, or worse.

A documentary series about Sean “Diddy” Combs was a huge draw for Netflix in the first week of December.
Sean Combs: The Reckoning, which detailed a host of past and new allegations against the music-business mogul, drew 2.28 million minutes of viewing in the United States from Dec. 1-7. In most weeks of 2025, that would have led the Nielsen streaming charts, but The Reckoning came in second place overall behind Stranger Things.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Monday that the Pentagon is demoting Senator Mark Kelly from his retired Navy rank of captain and cutting his military retirement pay. The reason: a video Kelly posted in November telling service members they can refuse illegal orders.
”In response to Senator Mark Kelly’s seditious statements — and his pattern of reckless misconduct — the Department of War is taking administrative action against Captain Mark E. Kelly, USN (Ret),” Hegseth posted on X.
The department has initiated retirement-grade determination proceedings and issued a formal letter of censure, which will be placed in Kelly’s permanent military personnel file.

”Relaxing” isn’t a word anyone is likely to associate with CES. If anything, it is the antithesis of CES, an exhausting and wildly overstimulating marathon event that takes place in the already exhausting and wildly overstimulating Las Vegas. But a demo of Ambient’s bedside device, Dreamie, ahead of its appearance at CES-adjacent Pepcom had me properly lulled and ready to go right back to bed. Dreamie is a smart sunrise alarm clock and nighttime wind-down device that has a built-in podcast player, a catalog of green, pink and brown noise sound masks, guided breathing programs, contactless motion sensors to provide insights into your sleep habits, dynamic lighting with simulated sunrise wake-ups and Bluetooth connectivity for headphones.

Urinalysis company Vivoo has rocked up at CES 2026 with two new products designed to keep an eye on your health. The first is the Smart Toilet, which clips onto your bowl and uses optical sensors to monitor your hydration levels.
It’s an evolution of the smart toilet product it originally announced back in 2023, which used a reactive testing strip as part of its process. Here, that feature has been ditched in favor of just collecting a small sample in its pocket-shaped cup for non-contact testing before being released.
