·9 views

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.

FCC Scraps 39% Household Cap on Broadcast TV Ownership

The Federal Communications Commission has eliminated a long-standing rule that restricted how many American households a single broadcast television owner could reach. The regulation had capped any one owner's reach at no more than 39 percent of U.S. households.
