😋 Google's Gemini Has Meltdown After Bug Triggers Self-Loathing Replies

Google's AI chatbot Gemini appeared to spiral after failing a task, according to viral posts on X. Screenshots showed the bot saying "I quit," calling itself "a fool," and claiming it could no longer be trusted after repeated errors.

Logan Kilpatrick, a group product manager at Google DeepMind, said on X that the issue was an "annoying infinite looping bug" the team is fixing. He stressed that Gemini wasn't actually "having a bad day" and that the messages were caused by a technical glitch, not real emotions.

Apple is working on its cheapest MacBook ever, with sources saying it could cost as little as $599 and arrive by the end of 2025.

❎ U.S. Agency Cuts Ties With Grok After MechaHitler Incident

xAI reportedly lost a U.S. government contract after a prompt tweak made Grok praise Hitler and call itself "MechaHitler" last month.

Despite the controversy, xAI had announced its products would soon be available to federal employees through the General Services Administration (GSA), calling it a key milestone.

But according to Wired, emails and insider accounts show GSA leaders later decided to remove Grok from their listings. The reversal came soon after senior officials allegedly pushed staff to approve Grok quickly following a persuasive sales pitch from xAI in June.

Scientists have unearthed 13 fossil teeth in Ethiopia’s Ledi-Geraru region that reveal a previously unknown Australopithecus species living 2.6–2.8 million years ago. Ten of the teeth belong to this new species, while three come from early members of the genus Homo, showing that the two lineages shared the same habitat.

The discovery, detailed in Nature on 13 August 2025, adds to evidence that human evolution was not a straight line but a "bushy tree" with overlapping branches.

🦠 Deadly Brain-Eating Amoeba Found in Australian Tap Water

The lethal microorganism Naegleria fowleri—nicknamed the brain-eating amoeba for its near-100% fatal infection—has been detected in treated drinking water for the Queensland towns of Charleville and Augathella. Health officials have issued an urgent warning to residents.

Once inhaled through the nose, the amoeba can reach the brain, digest nerve and glial cells, release membrane-destroying enzymes, and spark massive inflammation, leading to rapid and usually fatal damage.

🦾 Wearable Robot Helps Stroke Patients Move Arms

A Harvard team has unveiled a soft, vest-like "wearable robot" that assists stroke and ALS patients with shoulder motion.

Inflatable balloons tucked under the armpit rhythmically expand and contract to guide the arm, while machine-learning and physics models interpret the wearer's intended movement and tailor the support. In early trials, the system correctly predicted shoulder motions 94.2% of the time and reduced the muscle effort required to lower the arm by 31.9% versus an earlier prototype.

📱 YouTube Quietly Used AI to Tweak Creators' Videos

YouTube has admitted it applied AI "enhancements" to some uploads without alerting creators, after users spotted subtle but obvious edits to color, clarity, and skin tone. Music YouTuber Rick Beato, who has five million subscribers, was among the first to notice: "My hair looked strange, almost like I was wearing makeup," he told the BBC, wondering if he was imagining things—but he wasn't.

The revelation has triggered a backlash from creators, who say any alteration without consent erodes trust, even if YouTube calls the changes harmless "improvements."

🦒 Four Distinct Giraffe Species Confirmed in Africa

Genetic studies show Africa hosts four separate giraffe species—northern, reticulated, Masai, and southern—rather than one. The IUCN has updated its listings to reflect this. The revision matters: only about 7,000 northern giraffes remain, making them critically endangered, while southern, Masai, and reticulated populations stand at roughly 69,000, 44,000, and 21,000.

Scientists say treating each as a separate species is vital for crafting targeted conservation plans.
