WIRED contacted Huawei to ask about its potential role in the subsidies. Huawei did not comment in time for publication.One of the earliest subsidies appeared online in March, when the Commerce Bureau of Shenzhen Longgang District—the district where Huawei’s headquarters are located—posted that local car buyers can get up to 4,000 RMB (about $560) for buying a car that runs on Huawei’s driver-assistance system. The subsidies will be given out on a first-come, first-served basis until the total budget of 14,000,000 RMB is exhausted, meaning over 3,500 Shenzhen residents could have benefited from it.Starting in May, many announcements in similar…

Marvel Studios We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Pedro Pascal may very well be one of the hardest-working men in Hollywood right now. In 2025 alone, he’s appeared in Season 2 of “The Last of Us” as well as “Materialists” and “Eddington.” And now he’s entering the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Reed Richards, aka Mister Fantastic, in “The Fantastic Four: First Steps.” It’s already been confirmed that Reed will lead the Avengers in “Avengers: Doomsday,” so who knows where the MCU will take him from there?

“Competition will be fierce,” says Christian Catalini, founder at MIT Cryptoeconomics Lab and co-creator of Diem, the now-defunct stablecoin project funded by Meta. “You will see many more issuers enter the market and compete. Many of those issuers will be more traditional banks and fintechs.”Crypto advocates argue that stablecoins will strengthen the US Dollar as the global reserve currency by increasing demand in developing countries with unstable economies, and allow the US to borrow more cheaply by juicing demand for government bonds. “You couldn’t come up with a better innovation for the greenback on a whiteboard,” says Christopher Perkins, president…

MONACO (AP) — Women’s marathon world record-holder Ruth Chepngetich was provisionally suspended for a positive doping test on Thursday.Track and field’s Athletics Integrity Unit said Chepngetich tested positive for a banned diuretic and masking agent in March and “opted for a voluntary provisional suspension while the AIU’s investigation was ongoing.”The Kenyan runner set the world record by almost two minutes at the Chicago Marathon last October in 2 hours, 9 minutes, 56 seconds. It was her third win in Chicago.She also won the marathon at the 2019 world championships in Qatar, where the women’s race started at midnight to avoid…

Dean Leitersdorf introduces himself over Zoom, then types a prompt that makes me feel like I’ve just taken psychedelic mushrooms: “wild west, cosmic, Roman Empire, golden, underwater.” He feeds the words into an artificial intelligence model developed by his startup, Decart, which manipulates live video in real time.“I have no idea what’s going to happen,” Leitersdorf says with a laugh, shortly before transforming into a bizarre, gold-tinged, subaquatic version of Julius Caesar in a poncho.Leitersdorf already looks a bit wild—long hair tumbling down his back, a pen doing acrobatics in his fingers. As we talk, his onscreen image oscillates in…

In the briefing, Kaufman called Roblox “one of the safest places online for people to come together and spend time with their friends and their family.”Kirra Pendergast, founder and CEO of Safe on Social—an online safety organization operating worldwide—says Roblox’s latest safety measures are largely opt-in, therefore putting “responsibility on minors to identify and manage risks, something that contradicts everything we know about grooming dynamics.” Features like machine-learning age-estimation tools, for example, can incorrectly categorize users as older or younger; in-person code scanning, she says, “assumes that in-person QR code scanning is inherently safe.”“Predators frequently use real-world grooming tactics,” says…
