Grokipedia, xAI's AI-generated online encyclopedia championed by Elon Musk as a major improvement over Wikipedia, has reportedly not been updated since April 24th. The finding was flagged by Lawfare, which noted that no entry appears to have changed in more than three months. The platform launched in October 2024 as version 0.1 with around 885,000 articles before expanding to over 6 million articles in its v0.2 release in November 2024. Despite its growth in article count, Grokipedia's own live-updates page currently shows no active edits. The apparent stagnation raises questions about xAI's commitment to maintaining the platform as a credible, living reference resource.

Bill introduced in Congress to guarantee video game ownership for buyers

Rep. Ritchie Torres of New York's 15th district introduced the Power To The Players Act this week. The bill would direct the Federal Trade Commission to create rules ensuring that buyers own games they purchase rather than receiving a licensing agreement. Many modern games require a server connection, so they become unplayable when companies shut those servers down. Torres cited NBA 2K25 as a recent example, noting it is being delisted from storefronts and its servers will be shut down. The bill has been introduced but has not yet been passed.

Anthropic grants outside AI watchdog employee-like access to its systems

The arrangement lets the outside group examine the company's AI work from an independent vantage point. Notably, the watchdog is permitted to publish its findings without needing Anthropic's approval. The report describes the move as a step toward greater outside accountability for the AI developer.
