Artifact, the self-described “personalized news feed powered by artificial intelligence,” is now live and ready for use by the public. The app was previously introduced last month and seeks to aggregate news stories from top outlets using artificial intelligence.
This story is based on interviews with people familiar with the events involved and supported by documents obtained by Platformer.
At 2:36 on Monday morning, James Musk sent an urgent message to Twitter engineers.
“We are debugging an issue with engagement across the platform,” wrote Musk, a cousin of the Twitter CEO, tagging “@here” in Slack to ensure that anyone online would see it. “Any people who can make dashboards and write software please can you help solve this problem. This is high urgency. If you are willing to help out please thumbs up this post.”
When bleary-eyed engineers began to log on to their laptops, the nature of the emergency became clear: Elon Musk’s tweet about the Super Bowl got less engagement than President Joe…

A SKIMS fan tested out the brand’s underwear, including the core control thong.
TikTok user Shelby Stales shared her undergarment haul with her followers.
In the first clip, Shelby tried on the Fits Everybody full brief, $20.
“These are so good, they feel like you have nothing on. Very thin, very seamless. And at the back, it’s like there’s nothing there, there are no lines,” she told viewers.
Next, the influencer shared her thoughts on the Skims $18 Fits Everybody dipped front thong.
She said: ” These are a no for me. They don’t give me any sort of compression or coverage in [my stomach]. So it’s definitely not as flattering [as the first pair]. I can see the lines.”
She also tried the $20 Fits Everybody cheeky briefs, which she said: “hit in line with the seam of my leggings and come up high at the back so you can’t see them.”
In her second video, Shelby also modeled the core control high waist thong, $34.
“This is so bad, maybe if I were to size up to the L/XL. It is completely rolling down. This isn’t good, the grips don’t work,” she explained.
Shelby added: “And then we have this bulge that comes out [at the waist]. So this is a no.”
The influencer also tried on the $62 sculpting bodysuit with snaps.
“It definitely snatched me. The jeans are still snug but they do have some gapping. I think it’s pretty flattering,” she concluded.
TikTok users took to the comments section to share their thoughts on the haul.
“It rolls down on me too and it’s so unflattering,” wrote one viewer.
Another follower said: “I got the [core control thong] and it was the exact same. It was the first and last Skims I bought. They look so good on others.”
“This happened to me too!! And then it made my jeans not even fit? Like what?” commented a third person.
THE mystery surrounding a video that purportedly showed a “ghost diner” chowing down on a curry has been solved.
Alan Harding, 67, says it was him tucking into a chicken korma and not the late husband a widow claimed it was.
Lucy Watson sent the internet into a frenzy when she alleged an elderly diner in a new ad for a Hampshire curry house was her eight-year-dead Harry.
The Facebook comment under the video from Spice Cottage, in Westbourne, also alleged a man opposite was her stepson Alex.
Alan, a retired IT manager from nearby Emsworth, had no clue about the ghost diner mystery until a pal rang up and said the man looked a bit like him.
He told MailOnline he remembered staff filming the clip on January 13, adding: “[I] of course recognised myself and my friend Kevin Parsons.
“It is all quite funny, but I am definitely very much alive.”
The revelation is the final nail in the coffin of a mystery that gripped fans from as far as the tiny Pacific island of Tahiti.
The video shows the Indian restaurant full of diners who give the waiting staff a round of applause at the end of the clip.
But in her comments, Lucy insisted she “recognised the blue sweatshirt he was wearing and he is sitting there with his son Alex”.
The 59-year-old’s late husband Harry Doherty – an award winning journalist – last visited the curry house on New Year’s Eve in 2013, before he passed away in April 2014 aged 61.
Lucy’s comments sparked a row with the restaurant, with owner Azizur Rahman later telling The Sun Online the widow was completely wrong.
The spice specialist added: “I don’t know why she thinks she saw her husband in the video, it was taken the other day by me and my cousin.”
Despite her claims being rubbished, the widow still insisted: “It’s definitely some kind of montage – the people at some of the tables change.
“I’m 99.5 per cent sure it’s him and his son Alex. There’s no way you’d get two doppelgangers like that.”
The comments forced Alex, a former British world duathlon champion, to come forward and blast his step-mum’s claims as untrue.
Noting he hasn’t spoken to Lucy in years, Alex added: “It’s not him and it’s not me. Anyone who knew my dad would know that straight away.”

Swiss scientists have developed a proof-of-concept method to collect environmental DNA (eDNA) from high-arching forest canopies, an under-observed habitat. Rather than hiring skilled climbers to risk their lives to grab a little bug and bird DNA, the team flew a collection drone into the trees to capture genetic material — giving them a clearer picture of the area’s organic breakdown.
The researchers used a quadcopter equipped with a sticky collection cage. But since tree branches can bend at the slightest touch — and the drone needs to touch the branches to collect DNA — it has a haptic-based control scheme using force sensors to measure the pressure between the drone and the branch. Then, it adjusts its landing accordingly, leaning against the branch gently enough to avoid flinging valuable material to the ground.
The drone’s cage then grabs samples with a sticky surface made from “adhesive tape and a cotton gauze humidified with a solution of water and DNA-free sugar.” The cage spends around 10 seconds leaning on each branch and collecting eDNA before zipping back to the base, where the scientists retrieve the samples and ship them to a lab. The experiment’s drone successfully collected enough genetic material to identify 21 animal classes ranging from insects and mammals to birds and amphibians.
However, the scientists make it clear this is a work in progress. For example, on the last research day, the team noticed a drop in eDNA detection because of rainfall the night before — suggesting the method only tells them which creatures visited since the last downpour. Additionally, they noted unexplained differences in the performance of their two collectors, highlighting the need for more research on equipment variations.
The researchers hope their work will make it easier and cheaper for environmental biologists to learn which critters live in some of the hardest-to-reach places. The approach could eventually help the scientific community understand how environmental changes affect biodiversity, perhaps helping identify endangered or vulnerable species before it’s too late.
